Hello...

I'm slightly new to this, and have been inspired to start this blog by reguarly checking the blogs of a handful of comic artists I'm something of a fan of. Chiefly among these would be Dylan Teague and Dave Taylor's blogs. There are others of course, Glenn Fabry's website is cool and Alan Davis's site is also well worth checking out. There's lot of lovely art on all four of these. Hours of Entertainment!

As the header of this blog says I'm trying to get back into scripting comics after a break of several years. If anyone is suitably curious by all means enter my name into wikipedia. There's a list of everything I was fortunate enough to get into print on there, and it seems more straightforward to suggest this than type it all out. Not that there's THAT much of it.

Besides that's all in the past and I'm not really hoping to spend too much time thinking about the past. The future interests me far more. I'm an ambitious sort and would love get back into writing successfully. The buzz from it is better than any drug. There's no better feeling than writing a page of script, describing all the panels and working out the dialogue and then seeing that page drawn up by an artist. Sadly I have trouble drawing stick men and am consequently in awe of anyone that has that special gift to be able to draw.

In this vein I've been writing lots of scripts for years. I never stopped writing, life just seemed to get in the way. Now I'm thinking you only live once, so do something. With this in mind I'm in the process of putting together a comic myself which I'll either self publish or possibly be able to persuade someone to publish for me (Dark Horse,Wildstorm, or Image Comics would be fan-bloody-tastic). Each issue would feature two or three short stories. I've got three artists onboard for this project so far. It will feature artwork from Glenn Fabry, John McCrea and Dylan Teague. Three exceptionally talented artists.

Someone once said leave your audience wanting more, so that's what I'll do... Assuming I have an audience...
Anyone out there? Next time I'll see if I can put some art for the comic online. Glenn's done a lovely cover.

Anyway. Thanks for reading.

Hey fella, good to see you're back on the pot (in a manner of tweaking)...

Keep it up and post some work, I (possibly the only) for one want to see...
