About me: By and large, this is one of the many tools I see fit to use in connecting with working or soon-to-be working comic book artists and creaters to collaborate, develop and altogether infect the general populace with honest, original, kick-to-the-crotch comic book stories. HAVE SCRIPTS - WILL TRAVEL.
And to all the rest who know me, or at least think they do, your befriendifications are welcome as well.
Who I'd like to meet: Working or hopeful comic book artists and creators--or anyone working in the comics industry--seriously interested in creating projects to pitch to the comic publishers at large. What do I bring to the table? An ever-growing mass of scripts falling across a range of genres: www.crfielder.com.
Comic readers in general. Anyone who loves the medium and is willing to stand up and proudly be recognized for the geek they are.
