NOW.. i don’t usually deal with people’s reviews. It’s been my experience that most reviewers that take it upon themselves to review comic work in general… or even my work… can be scathing for no reason and critical with no understanding of the concept of what i do or why i do them… and my advice is and will always be… if you’re going to do reviews of anyone’s work in comics, you’d better know your stuff.   Otherwise, artists, writers and colorists will NOT like you.

that being said, someone turned me on to this brother Brit on YouTube and he’s been reviewiing and chronicling Smallville Season 11 since it’s inception on the digital landscape.  And i gotta say, he’s very respectable, if he makes mistakes, he will issue an apology and get the actual facts of the matter exposed and when he reviews, he’s really just giving the chronicling of what he read without the sensationalist nonsense… and never gives the spoilers.  So kudos to the man in CK!!  

and he’s digging the Batmobile i designed and he gets that i wanted it to be massive and agressive.  As he says, ‘IT’S A BEAST.”

Yes, CK. IT’s a BEAST!! :OD  So much so, i really want the cast of the guys from DREAM MACHINES on SYFY Channel to make one in the real world. How cool would that be?

It’s been a bit since i’ve done any interviewing, but i decided that has to end.  So in keeping with me finally coming out of my cave, i’ve been setting up an interviewing tear.  This is the first of a couple that i’ve set up to let people know what i’m up to.  Wesley Sherrod runs the Facets of Creativity blog and when he asked to do the interview, i had no problem with it.  So please do…

… read it and enjoy. 

He even surprised me by tracking down some old art from other books past and left for your perusal.

Nice!

    When Bryan Q. Miller and i sat down on the phone and hashed out the details about NightWing, he at first thought it would be great to give her purple hair… which would be cool, but i thought that doing so while Hit Girl was still in the thoughts of many fans may encroatch on the popularity of Stephanie Brown. Who was NightWing before the echelon decided Barbara was the way to go.  

Poor Stephanie.. If she was black, i’d pull the race card. 😀

She don’t drink, she don’t smoke and she’s a great athlete.  Someone needs to come up with a great schtick for her. She’s DUE.  

Speaking of Negro… the color in spanish, not the name for my culture in the 70’s… :D, My first thought was if we’re doing Stephanie Brown why not have the Smallville version of her be ethnic?  Like Stephanie Brown the SISTUH?  No one would expect it, i think people would except it because anything can happen in Smallville and you can take chances where everything is more rigid and set in the DCU.  I think i scare Miller a bit. HEH…  yeah, that’s the ticket.

I thought it would be great to see Bats with a black sistuh-soulja and they can both get all urban-guerilla and stuh…

Who’s going to believe that a blond white girl is living the rough life in the ‘hood?  I thought it would be great to bring in a more diverse contingent.  Not so.. how do you say… uh.. UNIVERSAL. 

Yeah… that’s the ticket.

But he wanted to see it and i let it fly but i also put some cool stuff together face-wise on the blond sistuh-soulja.  White girls can fight too. Just watch the YOOTOOBZ. 😀

I wanted my version of NightWing to be memorable yet funky. So i did some small sketches and let them run with it.  Hope you see where i was going with it.  

If you’ve been collecting the Smallville epps and issues, you already know which way the echelon went. 😀

Hey, it’s all good.  Hope you like the sketches and a small view in my head. The color versions of NightWIng is next posting. 😀
