Aspirations and Depressions

When it comes to comic books, I can think of nothing else that entertains and excites me as much. I've grown up with so many incredible stories and characters presented through this medium. A dream I've always had through the years was to become one of those crazy pen wielding shut-ins who craft such wonderful tales. As I get older I realize that my understandings are evolving, my perceptions are sharpening, and my ability to effectively tell stories through the comic book medium is stronger than ever.

While the industry is in a state where I can no longer see the characters or stories I loved in my youth, and almost everyone producing comics is signing away their work to have their names printed in 8-point font somewhere in the tediously dull credits of a movie, I'm worried about what I might get myself into if I strive to be a part of the modern world of funnybooks. I miss simple fun. There doesn't seem to be much of that anymore. No more crazy stories with enjoyable, not always realistic characters. It's all about rehashing old ideas and getting signed on with big old Hollywood.

I hope to not only create my own comics but to bring back what I loved about them through my work. No film deals. No glitzy, Styrofoam content. Just fun, simple comics to entertain and amuse. Here's to hope!
