Appearance #56! Hit: 1957 #4 by Vanesa R. Del Rey!

July 29, 2015

And with one panel Vanesa R. Del Rey broke the tie with Riley Rossmo to have drawn a character of my likeness in three separate comics!

With the cliffhanger of issue #3 of Hit: 1957 I thought for sure crime boss Domino was going to die. *SPOILER* he didn't, he just ended up in the back of a trunk. So, there's that I guess. Can't rule out the possibility of a third series. Man I'd get some mileage out of this cameo then.

Many thanks to Vanesa for the opportunity of taking a chance on my little campaign here, and using my likeness on a pretty pivotal character in both series. It's damned awesome actually. I look forward to seeing what projects she has lined up for the future and wish her much success. Perhaps I will be able to thank you in person at a convention someday.

Appearance #54! Hit: 1957 #3 by Vanesa R. Del Rey!

June 16, 2015

I do not have a local comic book store. I've mentioned this before. So sometimes I go a few weeks at a time before going to my store. Well... stuff like this happens then.

HEY! I was in a comic last week! And a re-occurring speaking role at that, thanks to Russ Manning award nominee Vanesa R. Del Rey!

As soon as I heard Hit was coming back to Boom! Comics for a sequel, I had a good feeling my bad guy character from the end of the series would come back in the future. And while I don't actually have my physical copies in hand, I got a digital version just to check out the appearance in last week's issue of Hit: 1957 #3!

The Happenings...

June 27, 2014

Hello internet type person! It's been a while. I don't mean to ignore you, I apologize.

So yesterday saw the release of Dream Thief: Escape #1 by Jai Nitz and Greg Smallwood. Good friends who put out a nice read and good looking comic, a follow-up to last year's Dream Thief. I hope they manage to keep it going for as long as they have a story to tell.

Greg and Jai signing their latest issue at Astro Kitty comics in Lawrence, KS

Big news for Smallwood as he recently got a gig at Marvel on the forthcoming run of Moon Knight with Brian Wood. AND he and fellow DMI artist Vanesa R. Del Rey were both nominated for the Russ Manning Award where the winner will be announced a month from now at the San Diego Comic Con.

Nominees for this year's Russ Manning Award include TWO DMI artists!

Recently teased by writer Bryce Carlson, it seems an announcement will be made next month concerning the return of the series Hit, which I'm excited about. I have the suspicion my first time reoccurring character, has the possibility of returning. Which is nice.

Future cover to an issue of HIT? Could be?

Behind the scene stuff IS happening as I slowly make efforts to make my comic projects happen. Time is the enemy my friends, remember that. More as it happens. Best!

Appearance #48! Hit #4 by Vanesa R. Del Rey!

December 18, 2013

A month ago I had a pretty cool cameo in Hit #3 drawn by Vanesa R. Del Rey, whereas my character appearance was part of the plot, and not just a panel photobomb moment.

Well shortly there after Vanesa informs me I'm in the next issue as well. Holy crap! My first DMI reoccurring role. Oh yeah!

Here are the pages!

Appearance #45! Hit #3 by Vanesa R. Del Rey!

November 6, 2013

Before Hit #1 had hit the stores, I was turned on to the series by a comics writer friend. I enjoy a good L.A. noir setting, being the final western frontier, right after the great war, and full of Hollywood magic. I was sold. Vanesa's preview art was great too, so I looked her up on the internet and managed to contact her about the campaign.

Three months later, there I am. A character with a name (that is not my own)... a first I believe. Complete with speaking lines. It's a cool appearance, and I totally dig this panel the most.
