In recent news I'm taking it upon myself to actively organize a collected works for the talented artists of Grand Rapids, MI. I am setting up the "Grand Rapids Graphic Novel Initiative." This project is intended to promote the graphic storytelling, short prose, poetry, and photography, of the folks of Grand Rapids. It's open submission and selected artists will be featured. All credit for the works will go to the appropriate artists and any proceeds will be doled out accordingly to the contributors. This is FIRST AND FOREMOST a chance to promote talent, not rake in profit. Hopefully we'll get a lot of submissions and be able to successfully launch this book, and hopefully, keep an issue coming out in regular succession continuously.
Until I get further with that project, here are some things I've doodled recently. Some original, some tribute.
