Hello everyone, it's been a few months. Just wanted to give you all an update:
Jose is right now in the middle of a couple of projects, once I can wrangle him down I'm trying to get him to work on a Pariah, Missouri spin-off book.
Either
-
A. Toro story about Vampiric-Sioux indians
-
B. Jean LaFitte goes back to New Orleans to confront his past.
Which would you rather see?
As for me, I'm working on a number of new projects:
- I'm writing/artist for a new graphic novel (Shangri-La Estates) about Little Rock, Arkansas in 1981, its a tale of a boy, his momma and finding their way through the south.
- New novel, The Nagual, it's a Star-Wars-like Jedi cult in Meso-American fantasy world. Think Toltecs, Olmecs but with supernatural powers.
- 3rd Adventure Bear Squad book - The Bears go Cave Bear's land and meet some Dinosaurs and find a Werebear!
- Pitching new comic stories with other artists: Le Centre, WMDs, Calexico and Thug Life.
ALL of this and More will be on my new PATREON page.
Take a gander. Let me know what you think. I'll be posting there 2-3 times a week new sketches, pages, scripts, all that good stuff!
THANK YOU AGAIN. I honestly I such strong feelings for each of you, I would hug you in person if I could!

Hello Everyone!
It's been far too long!
I wanted to give you a quick update. Now that Pariah, MO is done, Jose has started working on some of his own books, follow him https://www.facebook.com/jose.l.pescador They look great!
For me, I have some new book pitches I've been sending around and also working on Shangri-La Estates, a new slice of life book, that I am illustrating myself. It's going to be BIG, and my version of BLANKETS. If you haven't read that, go check it out.
If you live in Southern California, you are also invited to my art gallrey show, July 5-July 28. I have an art exhibit of every page of Pariah on the wall, it's massive and very cool. I am also going to be selling every original page, so even if you can't make it, if you are interested, let me know!
Lastly, and for me, very exciting is that I started a new YouTube channel. It's part how to, diary, and a deep dive on some of the best comics out there called, The Art of Comics. I will be sharing my process of making comics and all that good stuff. Please take a look at the latest episode, I talk about Crowdfunding. I'd love to get some more eyeballs on it.

Ok, that's it for me. A lot going on, and wanted to let you know I'm still kicking and making my stories!

The Making of Pariah Missouri book is done!
over 5 years ago

Hello Backers!
Thank you all so very mcuh for your support!
Late last night, I finally finished the Making of Pariah, Missouri book that many of you backed. This is a digital only book and I'll be sending out the link for you today. If you don't get it, please email me directly. I re-named it the Art of Pariah Missouri, and it came to 186 pages! I'm really happy with it, I added a lot of content, including a chapter on crowdfunding and also some new original stories.
For the hardcover fan, or someone who would like to see the process, I would recommend it.
As some of you have seen, the Omnibus was in Diamond previews and now in stores. If your local store doesn't have a copy, please let them know about it. I'd love to get as many people to read this book as possible.
My goal this weekend was to be at the Los Angeles Comic Convention, but I am sick with the flu, so I'll be holed up here in my batcave.
Again I want to thank you all for your support and PATIENCE with me as I finally finish all these rewards. I think the wait is worth it, but I know it's not optimal.
Best wishes!

Feb 2018 update!

Hey Backers!
I'm going to monthly updates and I got a couple of pings so we are:
Trade paperbacks and Hardcovers have been ordered and are being shipped out. I have a stack of about 30 books that still need sketches, which I bang out a couple at least per night. Hopefully some of you are getting the packages by now.
You will notice on some of the hardcovers, that they are MATTE covers. That's on purpose, but I will warn you: They collect human oils from your fingers!! Big time. It's not horrible, but you will see your prints. ALSO, I noticed on some of them, there was like a glossy mark on a couple, this was done by the printers and that's the price of doing business with them I guess. Not thrilled out it, but I sitll think they look pretty awesome.
The Omnibus is at the Printers! We should be getting some in March, by the end of that month I'll have all of them, then those get shipped out.
I still need to order the clamshells, I think like 6 of them. And a couple of shirts.
Then I think that's it. Going to miss this when it's all over really. It's been a dream. Hope I can make a career out of it.
Thank you all. Tell me how you liked the books and story!

New Digital Omnibus version!
about 6 years ago

Hey Backers!
Just a quick note, I found a couple of errors in my Omnibus digital version I sent out to some of you backers. It seems that InDesign was not exporting some of the text boxes on the narration with slanted boxes. So I spend a day going through it and fixing it all. I also up-ress'ed the file, so the quality is evern better.
So if you got the Omnibus either digital or physical, be on the lookout for that email!
Have a great day!
