New Direction

Well its been a while since I wrote one of these. To be honest it might be a while longer lol. Let me explain, I have been putting pieces together slowly one by one. I think I might be on to something!!! My entry into the comic world has been interesting to say the least. I have gone from being a fan boy to a penciler, Writer, inker, colorist, pod caster, web cartoonist, am I leaving anything out....whew!!!! Exhausting isn't it :) . Well it sure as hell is!!! lol so I had to really simplify things. I am canning the Podcasting right off the bat. Its just not me and its that simple. I had already had a long run on another Podcast before mine. Even though several people suggested I do this, it started to take away from the true goal which is " Being a better Artist" ! I did two podcast shows on my own, and I proved I could do it!!! Even though one individual in particular made it seem like this was rocket science LOL, Well its not!!!! So if your reading this and want to start one ask me and Ill help you :). Same goes for Web comics and any other venture that takes me away from the true goal at hand. I just want to be creative and do what I Love to do!!! I went into this whole comic thing the total wrong way but I have learned SO much I would not trade it for anything. I have met some very shady and broken people which I like to call them " Wizards" they will tell you what you want to hear only to use and exploit you!!!! With that though came very awesome good people as well!!!! Positive people that will make you a better person all around :) That is the true key friends, " You are what you hang around with"!!! If you want to get a book done or any other project for that matter. It will not happen if the the peers you hang around are not doing anything except " Talking" about doing something!!! Surround your self with Healthy minded positive people and you would be amazed of the results!!! That being said I want to take a second and Thank those peeps for just being Awesome!!! My mentor Richard Dominguez!!!!! My rad awesome Punk Rock Comic buddy Kevin Cross!! My Latino comic brother Javier Hernandez!!! My amazing talented friend with tons of awesome advice Devon Devereaux!! Thanks to him and his awesome hospitality I have belonged to his Illustration club and will do so as long as he will have me :) That club brought me to the amazing talented positive people I needed in my life :) Matt,Aja,Dan,Alan,Beca, to many to list :) My good friend and publisher Jim Main who with out him I could not see so much of my work in print :) Thanks guys I love you all :) . Lastly I think I am shaping up to be a good daddy and a good husband, which thats probably the most important part at the end of the day. Wish you all the best and keep creating :)
