thoughts by egg
such as they are...
I'm terrible about updating this site. But, my co-host is not. Jessi Nelson,
artist and thrill-seeker, has been putting up pinups weekly. Check out her
pages. And check this animation out and then see her auctions on ebay:

The idea to produce webcomics was not a single step.
I've tried to crack print comics for years. Work that bears my mark has been
published by Viper Comics, Arcana Studio and Th3rd World among others.
Even had a deal with IDW that fell apart in such a way that no one is to
blame. My high water mark? Got to ghost script a couple of pages for a DC
book that never came out. Shh. Don't tell anyone.
It was San Diego Comic Con 2007 that really started me down this path. I
was bumbling along pitching to every print publisher I could. From my time
as submissions editor at Arcana Studio my belief is that publishers who are
willing to print creator-owned comics are offered *at least* one series every
three days. At San Diego publishers make up the other two days.
Can you stand out in a sea like that? Yeah. I got some call backs. And I'm
grateful for the responses! I hope to see my projects out soon.
But, that's not my point. While there I met or saw so many webcomicers.
They were producing there work without hunting for publishers. They spent
less time hoping to rise above the crowd and more time working actually, you
know, rising above the crowd.
So, let's rise above.
Starting soon will come my webcomics. Let's see how it goes. I know I'm
excited.
