Take a look, it's in a book, a reading rainbow...

I think all of last year I may have read a not so grand total of six books (if that), not taking into account graphic novels. I really hate that, because I've always enjoyed reading, but for some reason just really couldn't get into it last year, so this year, one of my resolutions (though I typically don't like the idea of New Year's promises) has been to read non comics again regularly. So, needless to say, I'm thrilled to have already finished three between Christmas and now. Ananzi Boys, Ga… Continue

Let's play movie mash-ups...

The way you play...Take 2 or more movies that share a common word in their title and create a new movie out of it. It's not enough just to make the title, but you have to mash them together with the new plot, too. 30 Days of Night Shift, in which undead vampire pimps run a brothel out of Alaska's hospital morgue while making meals of the local mob. Star Wars: The Phantom Menace to Society, and do I really need to say anything else here? Rosemary's Baby Boy, in which a skinny white woma… Continue

The ol' "if I had a lot of money" dream (my own cable TV network)

My kids got me thinking tonight while we were having dinner at Pizza Hut (getting me thinking is always a dangerous thing to do) about how cool an all-super-hero cable TV channel would be. So of course, I had to start making lists. (I'm a list maker. They're all over the place in my house.) And here it is, the line up if I were in charge of an all-super-hero cable TV channel. Monday - Friday, 6AM to 7PM daily programming and Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6AM-9AM would consist of the fo… Continue

New Year, new hope?

I could post another "woe is me" post about how the job situation still sucks and I don't have regular writing gigs like I need to make freelancing work, or how I'm not finding job leads in writing/editing/copyediting or anything remotely suited to what I spent six years in college (went part time a few years after I got married) in order to do, or how most of my bills (if not all) are behind, and how we keep barely squeaking by to save the car and the house, and how we haven't had hot water in… Continue

A truly outrageous comic book pitch and a father/daughter creative partnership

1. I'm currently in the middle of a comic pitch based on a 1980s cartoon, one that I'll be co-writing with a certain voice-over actress who played the main character. I can't say exactly what at this point, but if you can read between the lines, you'll know what I'm talking about, cuz I'm not exactly being subtle, ya know. 2. You know that Tantalizing Ti-Girl manga book I keep pumping images of here and on LJ? Well, guess what? My daughter, Charis, will be writing a short back-up feature for th… Continue

Why so blue, lady?

For anyone here who was alive and reading comics in the 1940s, skip to the pictures below. If you're not part of that demographic, read this.

Anyway, James Ritchey III and I are working on a revamp of the old character a la James Robinson's Starman, dealing with the legacy of the Golden Age bleeding into the current age and how heroism and adventure has become a different animal now in so many ways. James is currently

I get this a lot. (Dominatrix vs. God soapbox)

I got this from a fellow writer the other day:

Do you mind if I ask you a slightly touchy question? I've noticed from a few of your posts that you are a Christian. Furthermore, I found a link that you had posted on your wall to the Christian Comic Art Society (which I promptly joined). Here's my question: How do you reconcile your Christian beliefs with writing the Dominatrix comic? I admit that I've never read the book so it may be rated G; but based off of the covers and the few t

Best Redemptive Films

Don't be surprised not to find these recommended by churches or anything, necessarily, but at their core, films all have messages that "preach" better than most sermons.

And yes, if you're a moral majority type, be warned that a lot of these are rated R and include things like "bad words" and some nudity. (Of course, if you're a moral majority type, you most likely haven't read my blogs in years... heh)

In no particular order...

1. The Spitfire Grill

2. The Apos

The past comes back to haunt me

Circa 1994, I believe. Check out that hair.

I look like the pale member of DeBarge. Yikes.

Fun, fur, and female fisticuffs -- A little Ti-Girl fun!

2008-12-03 23:06:00 Fun, fur, and fisticuffs -- a little Ti-Girl fun! Dug the concept color art so much I couldn't resist mocking it up as though it were actually for a cover.

Cool, huh? Continue

Pimping some friends' work

If you haven't checked out Martheus and Janet Wade's Jetta saga of graphic novels because you couldn't find them in your local comics store, you no longer have to wait. They're now available in your local shop via Haven Distributors. These are some really fun books, especially if you're a samurai or Buffy fan.

Partying like it's 1985!

This was the first time Samantha Newark costumed as Jem, and a few minutes after this was taken, she performed the Jem theme song with the band Attractive 80s Women, who was doing a concert that night.

About

Sean Taylor created this Ning Network.

FAQ

What is this network?

The Atlanta Comics Creators network is just what it says it is, group of Atlanta-based comics creators who use this online resource to make connections, build peer relationships, and further their comics careers.

Who is invited to join?

All mainstream, indie, or webcomic artists, inkers, writers, colorists, editors, and publishers; animators; and pop art and low brow creators local to the Atlanta area.

What can I do here?

Take part in forums to pick the minds of other creators, mentor and be mentored, develop small groups based on locale for real life connections, show off your work, form creative teams, network into national and international markets based on current members, and more to come, such as chat functions and more.

Why should I take part?

Because working in this industry tends to isolate us more than pull us together. Because you never know who your next boss or co-worker will be. Because making friends among your peers is a good practice. Because somebody worked really hard to try to make this place a useful resource, dang it.

What are "groups"?

"Groups" are ways of hooking up by common interests (such as manga or webcomics), location (North Atlanta or Downtown), job focus (artist, writer, pop art, or animator), or any other criteria that bonds us together in groups of people that can help each other become more effective or just hang out and enjoy each others' company.

Where can I get more info about this network?
