Comics Are Done!

The new book's are done! I will Post the covers and credits page's soon.

Here is the description of the three new books from ChopShop.

CROOK #1
It’s the classic story about this guy that has this dream – and how he had to whack a bunch of people cause they was standin’ in his way. It’s got everything from bank robberies and car chases to mobsters and murder. This guy makes Pacino look like a pansy. Old Family Style. Old Family Tradition. Fugedabahdit.

-Or we’ll make ya wish ya did!



RANDOM #4
The fourth volume in Chop Shop Comics’ signature variety series- This is the Chop Shop Show Case. Featuring an eclectic selection of eccentric short stories from some of Chop Shop’s most diverse minds… This is the distilled essence that is the Choppa! A must get for anyone with a frontal lobe! Recommended by most brains!



MAZE #1
The opening chapter of a boy’s desperate journey thru the heart of terror and the depths of despair. Lost and alone, deserted and cold - a saga of survival from the navel of the world leading into the unknown.

Comics

Yes you read that right, This post is about comics. Now that I'm working at a Samurai Comics I'm able to read new comics as they come out. I thought it would be a good idea to post about the new stuff that I liked.

Here is a list of books that came out on 10/03/07 that i would like to read. I will post a review if i get a chance to read them.

Beowulf #1: I think It's a tie in with the movie, witch I'm looking foreword to. So hopefully it's not like all the other movie tie ins crappy.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer #7: This is the second issue in the story arc by Brian K. Vaughan. From what I here fans are liking it as much as the Joss Whedon story arc witch started the series out.

Jack Of Fables #14: Spin off of Fables I need not say any more.

Iron And The Maiden #3: I have read the first two in the sires and have liked them. the story moves along, and the art work by Francis Manapul is well done.

I will try and read these on my days off and post some reviews on Tuesday when I get back in to the shop.

My goal is to get set up and read things on Wednesday night and get these up some time Thursday. I think I will go to the publishers sites and see whats coming out on Tuesday's and tell you what i think about them like i did to day. but as this is the first time doing it its all out of wack.

Last minute Post

Yea I know this real last minute but a few of the ChopShop guy’s will be hanging out over at SpazDog comics tomorrow. Levi, Sean, Rich, Isaac, and I will be there. No new book’s but we will have some of the original art for the next wave of ChopShop book’s to show it of. The plan is for us to be there from 10-11:30 am. Yea I know we are not going to be there very long. We just threw this together at the last minute.

Ok here is a run down of what’s going on around ChopShop. Rich is working on a short story for Random #4. Levi is leathering Maze. Sean & Belyn are working on Crook #1 one, witch is in the final stages. We have a new guy James working on a script that I wrote for random #4. So postproduction on random #4 is just right around the corner. Right now it looks like we will be done around the same time as the Phx. Con so the plan is to release it there. I will try and get some scans of the art work so you guys can check it out.

FREEDOM!!!

Ok, trying this yet one more time. But this time I’m going to try some thing different. What I plan to do is write about what’s going on with me as pertains to art. Not trying to say things about ChopShop in general. ChopShop is a big part of me, so I will be letting you in on al that’s up with the crew. But also I will be putting up some sample chapters of my novel and any thing else art wise that I do. But don’t worry I will not be posting about my love life or some chick I don’t have the courage to ask on a date, none of that crap. But I mite put some things about my job situation though.

On that note I think I will give a small up date. I have recently been laid off at the job that was paying my bills for the last six years. So as part of this rearranging of my life I think I will try and do more art stuff and not waste six more years of my life for nothing. I do have a plan for the next month or two. I have been talking with Mike & Moryha over at Samurai Comics; I might end up working there. In my opinion that would be the best thing for me, it will give me a chance to be more creative or be around people who support that kind of stuff. The one thing that has been killing me over the past five or so years is working all day and hating the place, so what would happen is I would go home just mentally drained and not want to do any work. Now I’m hopping that I will be inspired by all the work around me.

Ok on the novel thing, I have 80% of it written in a note book. I know how to end it and exactly how it will end. So what I need to do now is take what I have on paper and transfer it to my computer. As I’m typing the thing up I will fix any story issues that I see, in effect it will be a rewrite. After that is done I’m planning on sitting down with Levi for a story edit. We will go over the book and try to ketch all the inconstancy’s and get them fixed. After that I will let Dawn fix all my grammar mistakes. Then I will print the dam thing. So if all goes well should be done about six or so months.

Well I that’s all I can think of for now, I will try and update as often as possible.
