Chayne: Comics, action figures, video games, cartoons, anime, giant-robots, and sci-fi fantasy. I'm really into very colorful and positive interpretations of humanity. I grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation and have always been inspired by it's portayal of humanity in the future. I don't care for stuff that is too violent and I don't watch very many "scary" movies. I love to collect action figures and have tons of Transformers, Star Wars, super hero and video game collectibles. Every week I pick up the latest comics of some of my favorite characters. (My absoulte favorite is Green Lantern.) I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and really love the mythology behind the Jedi. I'm really inspired by people who are heroic and selfless!

We are artists who love comics! We started creating our own comics with Boy
Meets Hero, a web-comic about a gay superhero, Blue
Comet, his boyfriend Justin, and
the struggles a super-hero can have when he has more than one secret identity.
It is our intention to tell a fun and light-hearted tale that contains colorful
characters, action, adventure and a little sex thrown in for good measure!
Boy
Meets Hero is really a superhero fantasy on the surface only - as you'll
discover along the way, the real story is about self-acceptance, tolerance,
and
ultimately... love.
Although the full comic is no longer available to read online we are offering
it in a beautifully bound HARDCOVER published by Bruno Gmunder (Patrick Fillion,
Joe Phillips). You can buy it at Amazon or request your local bookstore to
order it BUT if you'd like a LIMITED EDITION NUMBERED AND SIGNED copy you can
only get that from us at WWW.BOYMEETSHERO.COM.
You can check out our comic online at www.boymeetshero.com CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT!
Now we're proud to present our brand new project featuring all the fun characters from BMH. It's a downloadable comic called BLUE COMET & FUSION and it's available right now. Just click below to check it out!
Who I'd like to meet: Other people interested in positive portrayals of gays in comics.
People who have open minds and appreciate others who are a little different. We are comfortable with being gay. We feel it makes us unique and special, but we don't feel it defines who we are! So if you are gay or straight, it makes no difference to us. We are especially drawn to people who share our interests of fantasy and sci-fi entertainment. We also appreciate thoses who believe in not just a positive portrayal of gays, but people in general. We are interested in people who are good-natured and compassionate toward others!

HERE ARE SOME ILLUSTRATIONS BY CHAYNE!!
"Shark finning" is when fishermen cut off the fins of the shark and throw the live animal back into the ocean in order to save space on the boat. The shark drowns or bleeds to death on the ocean floor. Shark fins can sell for over $300 per pound due to the demand for shark fin soup, an Asian "delicacy".
Some species of shark populations have plumetted by 99% in the last 20 years and are in danger of becoming extinct, due mainly to the practice of finning.
HERE ARE 8 SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP STOP SHARK FINNING:
1. Don't eat shark fin soup! Don't eat in restaurants that serve it until they stop.
2. Support organisations that are fighting to save marine wildlife such as Sea Shepherd and Wild Aid.
3. Visit StopSharkFinning.net, sign up to the mailing list and take part in the campaigns.
4. Put my profile in your Top Friends. Or create your own.
Glad to be your MySpace Friend!!!
