I know it has been a while since my last post, and I apologize. I also do not have any more of Phil Foglio this week, but I will let you know when I have more to offer. Things have been busy lately. I will make this post short, but I will like to talk briefly about what I have been doing.
There are actually 2 things I have been busy with. The first is my new webcomic!!
That's right! I have finally put up a teaser page for a new comic written by my brother, Spencer, and myself. I am doing the art, and the coloring is done by me and my sister Rachael. This comic is called "Twist of Feyt", and no I didn't misspell Fate. For those of you who don't get the reference, the Fey is another word for Celtic fairies and fairy-folk. In short, elves, pixies, pookas, banshees, fairies, brownies, etc. etc. are all creatures of the Fey (or Fey Realm).
When Adele and her brother, Nolan, take a short-cut through a nearby forest to get to school, Adele finds that her brother is kidnapped by a group of elves from the Unseelie court. With the help of the prince of the fey, who is actually a human under fey protection, and who look suspiciously like her brother, they mount a rescue. However, there are other greater forces at work, as gods and Fey ready for an epic war of mythic proportions. Can they save her brother from a fate worse than death, and prevent a war about to break out? Be prepared for action, adventure, romance, and a talking horse in Twist of Feyt.
My wife, Christina, is also working on her own comic, with our friend and writer Jamie Simo, and coloring by Indy Adenan. Into the Ever is a story about how a young girl, named Naomi, who makes a wish for adventure, only to find that her wish comes true 30 years later. Transformed back into her 8 year-old self, can this middle-aged woman find the stolen heart of the Queen of Mere? With the help of a viking, Eyarson, Naomi takes her first steps on an adventure of a lifetime.
Where can you find these comics? Well eventually they will be up on the Tangent Artists website, but for now, you can look at a preview/teaser of these comic. Check them out at www.TangentArtists.com. We hope to have these comics online and rolling by this fall.
There is another comic in the works, written by my brother and myself, but I will not say more until we have something to show. So don't hold your breath, it could take a while to get it ready, with Twist of Feyt getting ready to launch.
The second thing I have been working on is a much more important and daunting affair, going back to school. Now I am not enrolled in a school yet, but I am in the process of submitting an application to SCAD, or the Savannah College of Art and Design. As some of you may remember, I have mention the DAVE school in the past. Now I have nothing against the DAVE school, and I understand they have even expanded their classes and are getting or have recently become accredited. However, I have found that for me, SCAD has more to offer, including a very nice MA and MFA program, and really good facilities and connections. I recently took a look at their Atlanta campus, and I am very impressed.
So later this week, I will be providing a brief synopsis of the SCAD Atlanta campus, and what they offer, as well as come photos of their facilities. I will also be providing a new movie review, in fact, 3 of them! Expect the first one, for Toy Story 3 next week, followed by Despicable Me, and then my first live action, special effects extravaganza, Inception.
Stay tooned!
