A new book!

Davis Ketterer, the better writing half of Manic Repressive, has a new romance novel out.

"A Simple Love Story, Psyche!" Its a great contemporary take on the Cupid and Psyche myth.

I'm currently slaving away as a creative temp in the corporate world, but am still plugging away at Race War, looking at a 2014 street date. We'll keep you up to date on the comics and graphic novels we're producing, and in the meantime, read the Psyche book. It'll make you laugh and feel all warm and fuzzy too.

Busy, busy...

Like a lot of freelancers- I can't say no to a job that might actually pay me money. So I take on WAAAYYY too much work and slowly destroy myself getting it all done in a timely manner.

Case in point is the current RPG project I'm working on: I'm doing character designs and background plates. I enjoy it, and yet it keeps me from working on Race War as much as I want. But Kevin is a good guy and we're both owed money by some scumbag in England named Russ.

Here are some of the character shots I've done so far.

Check out the game when it comes out later this year.

More next week on where Race War stands, and maybe what new thing DC has thrown at me.

Race War update

Here's to a record...2 blog posts in a row! DC continues to keep me hopping, which is good, even though it steals time away from our own projects. But, you know, eating is important - for all five of us.

Below are a few of the layouts for Race War. I'm still in the midst of inking pages 9 & 10. Then I'll letter them all and send off the submissions to Dark Horse and Image. Hopefully one of them will bite and we won't have to put the money up front for the initial publishing. Fingers crossed!



Till next week.

Long time no...nuthin'.

Well... it's been a year or so, time for an update. Hopefully, the first of many new ones. We looked at the web stats a few days ago and were pleasantly surprised by how much traffic was still coming to the site, considering I've done nothing with the site in about a year. Thanks.

I have still been crazy busy with reconstruction work for DC. Since they outsourced a lot of it to India, the pay has been slashed dramatically,  so I have to do A LOT to try and make ends meet - but that is another blog altogether.

Currently we are working on Race War. Its an allegory about Christian spiritual warfare and how the Devil divides us by getting us to focus on the wrong things. Currently we have a script and I'm working on a ten page proposal for Dark Horse and Image, we'll see if either bites. Hopefully so, it'll go easier than self-publishing it.
Here is the tentative logo.
I'll post some of the pages as I get them scanned in.

Till next time.
