ClosetWorld comic progressing

I've been away for a while, moving from NC to VA (along with twins under the age of 1).  Now settled and into my routine at home and work.  I'm still progressing on ClosetWorld, a faith-based fairy tale that got picked up by Arcana Comics and hopefully will be released later this year or early next.  I just added art from it by artist John Amor.  I'm also developing a pitch called "A Heart for al Qaeda" that's about Air Force special ops (I'm an Air Force officer in my day job).  It's written by me with co-writer Kevin Maurer (he co-wrote last year's nonfiction bestseller "No Easy Day").  All in all, it's going to be a great, busy year.

Social?!Media

Hey folks, I remember when the social media exploded after myspace, and when facebook was introduced... I was thrilled with the idea of connecting with old friends and families. I had many people over the years ask where I was, including a young lady who hasn't seen me since kindergarten back in good ol' Long Island, NY. But now, it's like people are posting way too much of their private lives up making it public,and now being subject to both cyber bullying, and even just the most stupidest things. 

So, in the end here's what I think about facebook. It has by no way made us any social than how we used to be in this human race, but has "connected" us in ways that we couldn't before. But ultimately, social media has become a destructive and degrading "network" focusing on removing the word private from our lives, and instead has destroyed relationships, marriages, ruined businesses and people's reputations, as well as becoming a determining factor to who gets A JOB or GETS INTO that college students always wanted to get into. Life never used to this chaotic until myspace came along. If you feel the same way I have in the past couple of weeks about social media - myspace, facebook, twitter, etc. Why not rally against it and bring back the old method of communication such as calling someone, or writing a heartfelt letter and deliver it snail mail, or just a plain ol' email. 

This is just a PSA against facebook, etc. to show others that the only face I adore the most is Jesus, and that his book has changed my life. 

Nuff' said.

Projects, and Small Ideas

Hey folks, it seems that since I entered this network of Christian Comic Artists, I have been getting an abundant amount of requests to do something for someone. The answer to your requests, is yes... but one person at a time. Because I am a part time busser at a secular sports bar, and part time college student pursuing graphic design. I may not be able to get to everyone at the same time, but I have been hit with two failing grades lately this semester. So I will be needing to hustle on it if I want to pass this hard class called... Anthropology. Yes, the class that talks about natural selection, evolution... my faith has been hit hard, and I have been questioning does God even exist during this semester, but he somehow keeps on bringing me back to him through the Christian Club on my local campus. So, please pray for me as my faith is continuing to get hit and tested big time this year. Thanks a bunch everyone, love you all.

This a return email that I received from a (to be politically correct) suspected, alleged, person -of-interest con-artist who first contacted me through CCAS. The first email asked me to contact (allegedly) her. I thought it was related to that I'm interested in such as seeking an illustrator. Below is the return email:

Hello my dear,

How is your day today? My name is Miss Richeleine Gandon, a young girl, with good heart, down to earth, God fearing. I am a girl of sincerity, full of trust, from a decent home, the only child of Dr. Kala Gandon, from Democratic Republic of Congo, my father was a business man before he was Murdered. My purpose of contacting you is first, i want to know more about you so that i will know the areas you will be of assistance to my needs.

My parents left $5.7 (Million) US Dollars, in a leading bank before their untimely death, i want to plan for my future by investing this money in a good and profitable business but I don’t know where to start and that is why I got interested in contacting you hoping that you will be kind and sincere to me by leading me through the right process to see that this money is not wasted because it is my only hope of planning for my future. Please, don’t be surprise or scared because all my words are very sincere and I will prove it as we communicate along.
 
I attach my picture to enable you know who you are communicating with.
 
Thanks for your understanding, hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,

Richeleine.

Artist needed.

Hello this is John Klobuchar. Me and a good friend of mine are making a comic book known as Star Legion. We were in the middle of the art stage, but a current event made us loose a leg (And that would be me). So now she is having to do the art work all by herself, and I wanted someone to help her out since I don't think it is good for her to do it herself. So if anyone wants to help us please give ping me on my Facebook page. Or send me a message on my gmail account (marthman19@gmail.com) Or at lease pray for use that we can get this thing done on schedule. Its very soon before we publish it. I wish I could help but I really need a long break so please pray for us and hopefully I can get some assistance.

Thousand Foot Krutch Album Recommendation

I have only listened to some of their songs from the album called The End Is Where We Begin and I really like this band now. Even more so, now that my personal interpretations of the songs that I have heard are actually what they mean, as shown here: http://www.newreleasetuesday.com/article.php?article_id=814This is an awesome album, I highly recommend it. The instrumental part of the songs are behind words and the lyrics are very inspirational/motivational to me in a creative and spiritual way.The songs that I have heard are:War of ChangeWe AreLight Up The SkyDownCourtesy CallLet The Sparks Fly

Clash Entertainment posted a Career Interview with me at their website. The photo is of myself and Andres Bodon. I had just given Andres digital copies of AN ACT OF FAITH issues #1 and #2. Andres insisted on having the photo taken as I did my best to hide his cheesy smile. The photo was taken by Lou Colon.
