I've decided to go with a local printer for my AN ACT OF FAITH prints. The local printer does great work, costs half as much as anyone I've seen online, and will have the prints ready tomorrow.
In October, I'll be doing a signing at a comic book store (with a fellow comic book creator friend who shall remain nameless for now). I'll have one hundred copies of each print that will be signed and numbered at the signing. More detail to follow.
Anyway, here's what the prints will look like...

Just finished Creature Tech (Top Shelf productions 2005) by Doug TenNapel. Wow, so creative! The art is fantastic ink-brush cartooning. Incredibly skillful story takes bizarre twists and turns without every losing my heart or brain. I live close enough to California's central valley to vouch for the authentic valley touches and characters. The theological details (Arthropod heaven for a beloved Mantis bodyguard) are extra-scriptural but the heart of this book is gospel rooted. Good stuff!
Doug TenNapel has his own website at www.tennapel.com, and most all of his books are carried by Amazon, or in public libraries. I additionally recommend Ghostopolis as another TenNapel creation that's emotionally and creative fable for kids of all ages.
To CCAS comic creators and storytellers, I definitely recommend an afternoon with TenNapel book (public library is free) as a brain-stretcher and creativity sparker. Awesome talent shooting off in wild directions.
"Marc Goldner and Rachel Korsen are here to talk to Justin Thompson and I about their very cool and ambitious project, The Sunday Comics! They’re putting together a newspaper-style publication and a hard cover book that is over 200 pages long and contains the work of over 200 artists from around the world! Some of the biggest names in the industry are contributing, and there will be a section of classic comics from long ago that they’re getting the assistance from the various syndicates as well as The Billy Ireland Comics Museum at Ohio State!"
THE SUNDAY COMICS is mentioned in THE HUFFINGTON POST. Great stuff! I liked this part the best...
"Recently Rachel Korsen, one of the founders, and I got to spend the night with Ron Ferdinand and his family when we went to visit him in upstate New York. We didn't only get to crawl into where Ron has been creating Dennis The Menace comics for the last 29 years, but we got to go inside a creative genius' studio and were able to spend the day with the 'man behind' and witness the creations I imagined as a kid!"

The things we carry-
Loaded down, feel the weight,
All this with me I take
Wince under the load of this carry on
I take it with me anywhere, everywhere n beyond
Unload
So much cargo n the packing list only gets longer
Reload
More n more overwhelming, how could this all be me?
Explode
No suitcase can stay closed forever
Open it up, see all that's inside
Ups n downs the memories reside
On a ride called life, anchored to my name
Joy pride sorrow guilt hope n shame
See where I come from, what I've done.
See my contents my life my history see it all
------
My hopes n dreams my failures n nightmares deep dark
secrets n starry eyed day dreams
If I show this to you what will you think?
If I show you this will you leave me to sink?
Will this drive you away if I put it on display?
-----
For this I carry because it is me
My name myself my history
Do you want to know me? Unlock the Handel, tell me what you see
Unload and see all my baggage, the things I carry
While putting together my contribution for The Sunday Comics, I came across some of my pencilling for AN ACT OF FAITH #5. Here's the bottom half of page six. It shows Crusader Girl getting aggressive towards a certain vampire. Most of my real drawing occurs in the inking stage. My favorite part of comic book-making. When pencilling, though, I mostly use a blue pencil. When
adding more detail when pencilling, I use an "H" pencil...

This photo was taken a few weeks back. Lunch at New Paltz’s The Gilded Otter with (clockwise) Marc Goldner, Rachel Korsen, (The Great) Ron Ferdinand, me (the dope waving), and Joe Staton (The Nicest Guy in Comics) where we discussed THE SUNDAY COMICS and other comics related topics. A fine meal with lots of laughs. We chatted about working in comics, a little bit about comic book inking, and a bit more about comic book creator’s rights. (I did curb my enthusiasm concerning the last topic... which I’m sure one fellow comics creator may have been happy about.) Marc and Rachel shared news about their recent visit to the Reuben Awards. We even discussed some of the hip television shows based on comic books and super-heroes. I seem to not be much of a fan. (Sorry, Ron.) Unfortunately, I did make a flub by accidentally spoiling an episode of THE FLASH TV series. (Sorry, Rachel.)
So excited that 1500(!) kids in Folsom, CA went home last week with copies of "Rescue Me!". It was great to partner with Lakeside Church in this effort. Skits and the book introduced them to Captain Sun, all in the service of introducing them to Jesus, the Hero of Heroes! https://vimeo.com/130783607
I'm going to have a creator table at the MSP ComicCON next week, if you're attending, please stop by and say hello!
This has to be the 20th time I've done this same setup of green lanterns: Kilowog in the background, Hal Jordan on the right, John Stewart on the left, I originally had Katma Nui in the center holding the lantern battery, but found out she was more a warner bros creation for the Justice league cartoon, so I opted for Soranik Natu in the center. Recently started using the blue leads for the setup/template phase, but my old dell scanner doesn't interface so well with my HP laptop, so the blue still shows up. I did try to ink this one in, but it only looked really really bad. Hope you guys enjoy.
Part of my ignorance is willful: I don’t Facebook in large part to safeguard what little free time I’ve got. But an hour of undesignated time plus recent post of a 2011 interview, fired my curiosity up to snoop around the web a little; What other sites are out there archiving Christian comics??
Many of the sites below involve CCAS members or are linked to CCAS, but are mentioned here so sporadically that possibly a new artist here may be ignorant of their existence; and so I am posting this.
Please add to this list if there are other Christian Comic discussion sites I’ve omitted!
CCAS on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/christiancomicarts
COMIX35 http://www.comix35.org/comix35_home.html and on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/COMIX35.CCI
CCI Christian Comics International http://www.christiancomicsinternational.org/cci_faq.html#anchor-faq-top2011
Christian Comic Books, facebook site http://www.christian-comic-books.com/ founded by Erik Pineda in December of 2013

Archive On Pinterest! https://www.pinterest.com/rsquaredcomicz/christian-comics-webcomics-graphic-novels/
Many other Christian Comic sites are on the net that feature the artist’s own work but also have a linked blog with a lot of quality thought. Mel Todd’s Weaponpress comes immediatly to mind: http://weaponpress.com/AUP43completed.html

Hi I'm new to the CCAS and would like to get some feedback. Here's a drawing I finished in about two days. Let me know what you guys think. I have a story in mind but looking for a good writer so I can spend my time drawing...

It looks like I won't make it to Phoenix comicon this year. This will break the streak at 8 years. Money is tight, I'm flying out the next day to see my niece for the first time. This sucks, I really wish I could make it work. I will miss being there this year. Maybe this will give me extra time to come back stronger the next year, might even have a table there, God willing.
This is page one from AN ACT OF FAITH #11. (I still have to add grey tones.) Here, in part two of the "Shinobi" storyline, Ninja Spider begins to tell a story about a fallen samurai...
