Deviation Actions
Yo, peeps!
I deleted my last journal entry because I didn't like it. I had lost my full-time job a month or more back and was being negative.
I have a new full-time, direct-hire job! Well, filling out paperwork tomorrow, but my honey and I are extremely happy! I'm sad that it's so easy for me to forget what the Lord has done for Mandie and I in the past and get back to complaining and feeling like he's leaving me off in limbo somewhere. He has a plan and is always faithful to us even when we're not always faithful to Him.
And... Technically the description of my new deviation "Back to Business" is a journal entry in itself... So, here goes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, everyone!
I'm sorry things slowly died around here. The truth is that I'm trying to get a full-time job so I can get married and it's a lot more important so, well, some other areas of my life have to be put on hold. Good news is that I've gotten yet another full-time job (I can't seem to hold one down). But I know for a fact I'll be able to hold this one down! I'm being re-hired by an old employer, the Goodwill Industries (kind of cool given my name), but this time they're skipping the annoying temp agency phase and direct hiring me! WOO-HOO!!! Anyway, so I'm very sorry there hasn't been a lot of updates in a very, very LONG time. I want to change that.
So, TA-DA!
Since I have a full-time job and will hopefully be getting engaged very soon, Lord willing, I can get back to my artwork since I can finally quit job hunting again. It'll be difficult to juggle it all, but I just have to have discipline. So… WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS, BABY!

COMMISSIONS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Lately these past 7 months or so I've also been doing commission work for people. It's picked up lately (I call it answered prayer for extra cash), which is pretty awesome. You can commission me too, but please keep in mind that you'll be put on a list and it's a first come, first served kind of process. Older commissions get done first. But that doesn't mean I can't be working on several all at once. If there's down time on one project, I may get to yours if it's next. Prices are discussed between me and the client, but are usually cheap.
An example of my prices would be this:
A single drawing of one character or caricature (not-heavily detailed) is $10 which includes: blue pencil drawing, traditionally inked and scanned, fully digitally colored, and with no background save for some quick colors. More characters or more detail, including background, raises that estimated price. The new price is determined when I talk to the client about their needs.
Payment: I accept Paypal.

NEWS: THE CHILDREN'S BOOK – "ANDY THE PUG"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sending the children's book commission to printers soon! The client isn't planning on selling it, which is too bad since that'd be kick-butt awesome since I illustrated it! But it's even more important that she commissioned it for her son. It'll be his own personal children's book to enjoy while growing up! :-D Sure, it's no "Where the Wild Things Are," but it'll be nice. I'll make sure to put some photos up online once I get my own copy of the book for my portfolio!

GOSPELMAN MINISTRIES Patreon Launched!
[pretend there's an image here, this really snazzy banner of Christian comics in the background and a fat man in a green Adam West Batman suit in the foreground]
In the words of Gospelman, "Hello, Gospel Chums!"
Gospelman Ministries is the name of my new non-profit Christian comics group. It's goal is to both reach comic readers who would otherwise never hear the Gospel message of Jesus Christ as well edify and educate those who are already Christian believers in their faith. It's been my desire at least since 2004, if not before that, to give Christians more positive, Christian entertainment alternatives. If you believe in our mission, ple
Cemetery Plots #2 Critic Review!
Hey! I'm back!
Okay, for all of you who aren't aware, my friend Dan Johnson is an editor at Empire Comics Lab. We first started doing the Hip Hop comic together when he was an assistant editor for the Charlton Neo publishing company, but months after we had completed the first story for them, the publishing company seemed no longer interested in it. Eventually Hip Hop landed at Empire and Dan Johnson wanted me on their main book, Cemetery Plots, so he got me a small gig lettering one of Marvin Mann's stories, a fantastic artist from Malibu Comics back in the 90's (or was it the 80's? I forget), in the second issue. The book also contains a s
HIP HOP NOW AT ... EMPIRE COMICS LAB?!?

HIP HOP NOW AT DRAZTIC MEAZURES, LLC STUDIOS!
Hidey-ho, good peeps!
First of all: I owe an explanation. None of my peeps on DA know what I've been up to since fall of 2014! I will correct this by posting my public images of my work for the publishing company!!! But, first, I need to explain what I'm talking about and how all this came about:
In 2007 about, I met Dan Johnson who got me an unpaid volunteer gig doing a cover for a Star Trek fan magazine. Through the years he helped me get other jobs as well, including introducing me to Kelly Morrison, the client who's children's book, Andy the Pug's Christmas, I illustrated between 2010-2012. I didn't know it when I befriended him in 2007
