After some time of sitting around reading and enjoying comics. i have decided to write my first comic book. Now we all have had this idea at one time or another. Most just never do anyhting with it. Instead of being another one of those guys. I have had several ideas over the years I write them down and move one.

I decided to write about something that is near and dear to me. Some of this story is a reflection of my life at one point in time when I came back home from oklahoma. I wont say whats tru and whats made up. I can say it made me a stronger person in life and walked away from my past and moved forward.Now I cant release everything about the book. I like to save some for the future. You will get sneak peaks at pages, character designs, color palletes, and snips of story line. Here is how the idea started turn back the clock to phoenix comic con. I had to do something for some boardies and have fun. But for the first time decided to go to some panels or atleast one panel.How to break into comicsYes seems simple enough right well it was. Went sat amongst my people well atleast some fanboys. I already just about knew everything that was said in this panel from my own research. Broke down to luck in a lot of cases and pure passion just like anything else. Luck has been on myside in the past more then anyone would ever know. Passion that i have.So left that panel feeling ahh well whats next. I already knew a few artist but no one with in my budget. Plus all thought im some smelly fan boy not serious at all. So I went with my gut on this by luck ran into the guy that did the panel He's a talented artist had a current book with image. Why not what do i got to lose.Stopped at his booth and talked for about a minute and yes it was a minute. He maed a homemade businesscard. Left the con a few days went by didnt know if it was the 3 day rule before i email call whatever. ContactSent him the email went something like this he blah blah blah I want to do some chartcer mockups spoke with you for a few seconds at the con. Days went by then email oh ok cool yeah at the price we discussed is that cool? How you want them done for style jim lee? ebas? Well at this point in time had to come clean right away and put it out all on the line said want it in your style need the characters to look like this gave him the descriptions.A week went by and they were done end of email. Then few days went by emailed back and said look im very serious about this here is my -script read it tell me if want to do this with me. He read it liked it needed some work. Thats ok he didnt hate it and didnt tel me to f off. So reworked it drank a lot of vodka helps with the process somewhat atleast thats what i tell meself. Sent back said ok in a nutshell. MoneyNow Im not a artist not a inker I can only write. So i needed a walmart type of thing that didnt cost me a ton of money. So we worked out a great deal x amount per page inked colored lettered.I sale books to pay for the pages and look forward to submitting to image in the near future. Now its a big gamble for me considering I dont know if image will say yes or no. But if i never take the chance I will never know. I will post more in the future thanks JeremyTo see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
