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.

Rising from the dead
As I said over on the main site we are mulling around once more.
First things first, WE ARE WORKING ON MORE COMICS! Here is what’s on the slate as of right now. (This could change, none these books are in a finished state. Just letting you guys know what’s on the way.)
As I have said Sean’s new book is looking cool as hell, Krook is the best book he has put together. It’s in the inking stage last I heard, plus Sean will be painting the cover, I have seen the pencils and can not wait tell he gets this book done. There is some thing in the way he has worked on this book, Sean has completely change his method on making comics. This book will be a hit!
Levi is also working on a solo project. Maze is a story Levi has been working on for about 4-5 years now. It’s been threw several rewrites, creative teams, and concepts, now after all that time the first book in many is now done being penciled. There is nothing more I can say about this book, it’s Levi’s opus.
We also are working on reviving the very successful contest for random, if you would like to see the winner from the first one check out random #3 out now! The rules won’t be much different; we will post a script on the site, and in comic’s shops in phoenix. You take the script draw the comic and send it to us. We pick the one we like the best based on a set of judging criteria. Then the winner will get there work published in random #4. As soon as the details are set I will let you know them here and on the site.
That’s all for now Folk’s

Not so much this time
As you can see I did a little updating to the template. Just doing some cosmetic stuff this week changed the color scheme some what. I think I will tweak some more later.
As for comic news, Sean is sailing a long with his new book Krook, last I saw Levi has got a decent amount done on Maze, as for random 4 I think we are starting the preproduction on it. What that means is, we are talking with each other and seeing who wants to work on a story, and then we come up with an idea and work it out. Then we shift in to production witch going threw the process of making the comic. Neither of these two steps has a time line at this point and time. As our ruff ideas become a little more solid is when we work out a time line.
One other bit of news, Isaac has a gallery of his work on deviantArt.com. You can use this link to see the cool ass shit he has put up there. But you will have to create an account to see most of it, because it is all adult stuff.

One More Time Chuck
As you can see we here at the ChopShop are starting to update stuff once again. We as always are going to try and keep you as informed as possible. But as of this moment, ChopShop is locking its self in a deep dark hole and going to crank out some work. We here at ChopShop think that the next step in our evolution is to put out some serous work.
The goal, as of 1/29/07 is to work on stuff and not show ourselves tell the 2008 cactus con. We have some cool things planed and it will take the whole year for us to get them done. I will try and post here when I get a chance and let you guys know what I can as soon as possible. But as nothing is in any state of completion I can’t revel any of it. What I can say, is that we are planning some more comics, most likely A new random, a new standalone book by Levi (Kind of like Midnight Pulp, Written and illustrated by the same person). Some art by the new guy James with a new story written by me. Sean has a new book in the works the working title is Krook. (Could change though).
There is some bad news to report about GearBot #3. Some douchebox broke in to Sean’s Car and took all of the original art work for the book. We had not started any of the post production on the book yet, so the only copy of the book is in the hands of the aforementioned douchebox. So if you are that guy we just what the art back.
Well that’s about it for now. But every Monday I will try and put some thing up here for you.
