    John's Interests
General
Softkey Left softkey Right
My interests in comic books extend from the black and white independents to the four color super hero comics published by the Big Two. Daredevil by Bendis has been one of my favorite reads lately and so far is continuing even with the change of writers. Love and Rockets is one of the all time greatest comic books ever done as far as I'm concered, the two recent hard cover reprints take a proud spot on my booksheves. Cerebus and Bone are two past favorites. The Walking Dead is a comic that is a must pick every month. So you can see my interests are fairly diverse and I think this reflects in the type of stories I want to write too.

About me:
I'm a published writer in the comic book field. It's been more than a few years since I did any work in the industry. Back when I was writing I did my work for the indy market, working for such publishers as Fantagraphics, Innovation, Malibu, Kitchen Sink and a bunch of others. I'm hoping to get back into the industry and want to try my hand at writing comics again. What I need is an artist to help work with me on proposals. I need an artist that is professional quality and is willing to work hard for little benefit at first. Hopefully if we create a good proposal we'll see it published and reap the rewards. I have plenty of ideas so feel free to drop me a line and I'm sure we can find something to work on.

Who I'd like to meet:
Any artists that are looking to be part of a team to create some great proposals. This means I don't pay you anything, we make money if we sell what the two of us create. But if you're willing to work hard and do some great work we can do it! Let's create some new comics!

Hey, thanks for becoming part of my "friend" space! I'm looking to get more plugged in with creatives worldwide through this social network.

Nice to meet an "old timer!"

My Xeric grant winning book "Jazz: Cool Birth" is now in September's Previews for preorder at comic shops, a murder mystery in a 1957 jazz bar, with art and type based on '50s album cover design, dig? Bebop for your glims.

Info about comic books as a business and focused ramblings are at ComicArtistsDirect. com. "Adam Among the Gods" and "Seductions" have just been made available to buy online at Aazurn. com. The Aazurn Publishing Saga, a step by step account of creating and selling these comics is there, also.

I'm looking forward to exploring the MySpace pages of all of my new "friends" (Man, does that sound square).

Peace!

Hey John! Two weeks ago GaragePunk.com endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president. This video by Larry Lessig (founder of Creative Commons and a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on c0pyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum) does a great job of explaining the important differences between Obama and Clinton, so please watch it. We hope you will agree with us and vote for Barack Obama in the Louisiana Primary on Saturday February 9.



Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton for 20+ years is not change. Real change will come with Obama. Can we initiate that change? Yes We Can!
