The Long Haul

Yes, I know....the collective sigh of "its been awhile" is almost palpable, but I promise you, dear reader,  I have not been idle! Since Image Con work has been polished and re-polished, art has been created and then erased. The idea of what I hope to see created has been shared and direction from those in the know has been sought. In particular, some great insight into the industry of comic book creation and the business has been gleaned from one very unique individual. One Mr. Michael Davis one of the founding members of Milestone Media and a co-creator of the super hero Static Shock. Back in February Mr. Davis wrote an article over on ComicMix called "Shit and The Comic Book Industry", in it he spoke at length about breaking into the entertainment industry and making sure your game is on point. At the time when I read the article, it clicked in a way that I found reassuring. A voice that offered encouragement, but at the same time gave the slap to the head that made sure my feet were still grounded and my vision was clear. A week after that article and our brief exchange in the comments section of his post, he posted "Get A Clue".  Another insightful article that gave me some insight into what those who make things happen in the industry sometimes deal with when they are trying to make things happen. Needless to say, I was blown away by the closing remarks in that article (What?....You haven't read it yet? Okay, go read it and then you will understand why my jaw was on the floor by the end of the read. I'll wait....ok, you back? Good, let's keep this thing rolling). Mountains have been moved to some degree and as a result I will be going to San Diego in July to attend Comic Con 2012. I plan on meeting people, shaking hands, making connections, and learning as much as I possibly can to make sure that what I have imagined for so long can find it's way into being.  Have you ever been so hungry that you can literally taste the meal that you are dreaming of consuming before you take a bite? Well, that will be me....hopefully I don't scare anyone. In the meantime, I continue to work on the script for issue #2 of Sea Wulfe and Tanna Tucker continues to work on creating images that will help convey the world that exists in the corners of my imagination. So that is where things stand at this point in juncture. Rest assured, I am in this for the long haul and until the next post, here is an early page from the upcoming prologue  (words by Mark Turner and images by Tanna Tucker) and an updated image of the stories heroine Catlynn. For those not aware, we have a fan page up on Facebook, be sure to join us there for more news and updates on this incredible adventure: Sea Wulfe. Enjoy!
