FAT Fridaaaaze...

I've been doing a lot of writing, rewriting, drawing, editing, coloring, ...and I'm really excited about the next several FF Strips.

A lot is going to be happening in the next several months. Thanks for sticking with me.

In 2 weeks I will be posting a 10 part continuing series, FAT Fridaze AFTER HOURS about Adrian & Phoenix going out for a night... we've seen them at home and in a few different scenarios, but what are these guys like when they are out? After this 10 week series the regular line-up will continue... but some of the events of this night out will effect the story from then on...

Thank you guys so much for reading my Strip, it means the world to me. I hope you all enjoy these and other future stories. I'm currently writing strips 31-52 and planning stuff for "Year 2"

Gay comic book characters

"LGBT themes in comics are a relatively new concept, as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) themes and characters were historically omitted intentionally from the content of comic books and their comic strip predecessors, due to either censorship or the perception that comics were for children.^[1] With any mention of homosexuality in mainstream United States comics forbidden by the Comics Code Authority (CCA) until 1989,^[2] earlier attempts at exploring these issues in the US took the form of subtle hints or subtext regarding a character's sexual orientation.^[3] LGBT themes were tackled earlier in underground comix from the early 1970s onward. Independently published one-off comic books and series, often produced by gay creators and featuring autobiographical storylines, tackled political issues of interest to LGBT readers." -Wikipedia

Jimmy the zine!!

Thank you to Jimmy Vogel and all the talented young homos working at JIMMY the zine! I am so thrilled to be a part of the line up for Issue No. 2 "The Greenwood".

"JIMMY is an L.A. based queer zine. Independently published in the hills of Silver Lake and the heart of Hollywood, this 50+ page quarterly explores the diverse creative talents of this sprawling city. Through photo editorials, interviews, art, and articles this zine discovers and promotes L.A.’s underground queer community. In a blog-cluttered world, JIMMY stands as a printed history, preserving and documenting a unique and city-specific cultural moment."

If you've been keeping up with my weekly comic strip FAT Fridaze you will recognize these guys. Adrian and Phoenix make their printed debut in a 4 page original story "Picnic".

Nu Logo

I had a few idears for a new logo but haven't actually sat down and drawn anything out... so for now... this is my logo ;)

I guess for me this represents transformation... evolution... rebirth... my life is changing and evolving into an exciting new place, creatively and literally. I am thrilled and honored to be working on the projects I am working on... I feel really inspired and safe and warm. Thank you to the amazing people in my life! Your support means the world to me!

I should have lots of goodies to post soon!!

"FAT Fridaze" So far...

First of all, I just want to say Thank You to everyone that has read FAT Fridaze so far :) I really appreciate it... it's still the really early stages so the kinks aren't all worked out just yet... and if you haven't read it, there is still time!! (just click........ here.)

I had been wanting to write for characters like this for a while. Gay guys that I could relate to... I hope as these guys get fleshed out other people can relate to them as well.  I also like the simplicity of the format... the story can never be too long because there just isn't enough space.

I think some people are under the impression that all comic strips are LOL-athons... but really some of these aren't going to even attempt to be funny (I know the punch lines are lagging a bit on the first few, haha)... they're just little "slices" of these character's lives. The stories will range in genre as well as the art... Sometimes these guys look more "realistic" and other times they are extremely cartoony... I've done a lot of stories with Mews the cat so far too that I'm excited about.

The best part so far is that this is a great little project to work on in my down time. Sketch something out here, finish inking something there... before too long it's colored and ready to post. I am really excited about Strip: #006 that posts this Friday... the art is better (getting more comfortable with drawing these guys) and this isn't just a short little "quip"...

I've fleshed out about 20 now... and I'm really excited with where it's going already.

Thanks for checking it out you guys!!
