WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO LATELY OF THE NEW YEAR OF 2015

hello everyone.been a long time since i've been on my blog.since the beginning  of the new year. i've been super busy...what i mean by busy i was hired by a independent publishing company called "kensi productions" as the pencilier of their character "Black Arrow" issue #4 just finish the last page yesterday...its a 28 color page book .during the upcoming days i'll post sneak peaks of it...please post feed back on it.

ok on to the next subject.as i was penciling "Black Arrow"i was penciling my creator owned comic "Agent Solo"it's going to be a 1 shot 36 color page book...that's also going to be a kickstarter with my plan to launch it in 2016.right now it's in production getting inked.the plain is to get the book DONE! i have seen alot of backers get screwed backing projects and not getting anything back in return.i got some awesome cool rewards to go along with this book for backers along with some great big name artist that work in the business helping also.i will post sneak peaks in coming weeks...i'm very excited.

whew ...last paragraph line.i got a few emails regarding Guytron.ok here's what's going on with the cosmic hero...issue #7 is done...few pages was inked and colored.issue #8 just in script it went on the back burner due to penciling Black Arrow and Agent Solo.but since im free now...im going to start doing some thumbnails ...and if you can't find the first 6 issues on indy planet i pulled them off...got plans to do a trade paperback with new pages etc along with a new distribution/printing company.and thank you for the fans who loved the character.

STAYING FOCUS ON THE ROAD CREATING COMICS

hello everyone first i would like to say i'm totally shocked and surprised my blog got 3,360 page views.

i'm glad those who stop by and enjoy the videos and art projects i post up...more new stuff is coming.

so it's tuesday ...i know i have been dark on my blog. the reason was i was extremely busy creating new comic projects on top of that i got a second job...yes that' right a second job in retail ..which i swore i would never go back to doing since being in the retail work force 20 years.hears reason number2-while creating this load of new projects along with having this vision what i needed to make it all come true.

majority of people ask me "how in the hell do you mange to get any work did when juggling two jobs?"

the answer is "PURE DEDICATION" it's the only way i can put it.i'm old fashion... i believe if you really want something you work hard to get it and putting yourself in the right position.i'm still climbing that ladder to success one step at a time going with the flow of it all.nothing beats filling good in able to pay the services

to those providing their talented service to make your comics stand with the bigger books on the comic shop shelf along the crowd.i don't believe in making rushed comics with poor production quality...i like to make the best creator owned comics with awesome production quality for those who buy my books get there money's worth.

one more thing i want to give a update on,is my agent solo webcomic. things was going good until the unthinkable happened...the site host providers who  a friend of mines that i had the site under  was told their backups were corrupt so they basically told him he's out of luck which really sucks.but on the bright side he's moving to a new hosting when that's up i will update you on webcomics return.

  

    

MY SKETCH WARM UP'S

 Good Thursday Morning everyone.so as promised posting sketch pinups in my sketchbook   that i do before doing sequential pages .i call them Doodle warm ups .i believe the only way to get  better in my craft is to do a sketch per day .it allows me to not only keep sharp on my craft but also allows me to pick up speed in my work in general and i notice im getting quicker in doing sequential pages.so enjoy the warm up Doodles i did through out the month's of 2014
