Proud Father

[Ajester]

My son loves comics too and is quite the artist! Hello...DC, Marvel you guys hiring?

 

Okay a little self serving journal being a gushing parent. My son has been helping me go through my collection and re-board and bag everything as we prepare books for sale. He is 20 and is an actor who was a lead in a kids TV show for one season and the funds ran out so he is back home auditioning (the life of an actor!) and helping his old man when he is able with his huge comic obsession turned garage sale

He is an artist through and through and though I knew he has been drawing for years and have seen snippets of his recent work and thought wow, he actually might have talent, I really never gave it that much thought given his acting career. Then he hands me this drawing and asks if I will scan it for him...

HOLY ..... Wow. I told him he should consider being a comic artist for a career along with the acting. He claims that he isn't fast enough at this point...I don't know, I think with the ability to do this kind of thing out of his head (which he did) speed will come....

Anyway just a cool part of my day today, thinking that my son might actually be able to fit into this industry that I have delved in for many years...

Yeah, I know...I hate listening to gushing parents too so thanks for listening.

Great Job!!!

 

It's amazing, when I was twenty (the year I became a Father) I felt like Twenty was...OLd??? Now my son is twenty and I feel, Oh wow, he's just getting started in life. The artwork above, I say that you're son is just getting started. BY the way, for the hell of it, if he is having fun with these sketches, have him do a few blank covers for you. How cool would that b if CGC signature series some comics from your son... before he broke into the industry.

Thats really awesome. As far as speed, I know everyones different, but getting tossed to the fire can help. TNERBs idea is pretty cool too. Good luck to him in whatever he ends up doing.
