"You Can't Go Home Again" - Kenny Porter & Jim Towe (One-Page Comic)

Here's a comic that Jim Towe and I did for The Prompt, a comic book challenge and experiment created by Nic J. Shaw.

The Prompt - Tumblr

The prompt was to create a single page story that revolved around the theme of coming home. I decided to take it into a Twilight Zone kind of direction.

I hope you enjoy it!

Project Update: Bluster #1 - Cover

Our New Cover

This is our new cover for issue #1 of Bluster. I have to say that I'm very happy with the current version. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Oh, What a Lovely Tea Party

The 2013 Fall semester has started and I'm already knee deep homework. I've got a full load of classes combined with the work up at the cottage that constantly needs to be done. Throw in the fact that I'm becoming the neighborhood dog walker and the chances of me ever taking an afternoon nap again get slimmer and slimmer.

The good news is that I'm still working on comic projects, as well as a few prose pieces.

In the comics department I've got a project cooking with Andy Budnick, a Michigan artist and dear friend of mine.It's my take on a superhuman prison and a story that looks at the prisons we build for ourselves inside of our work, family, friends, and minds.

Also there's a lot of explosions, so it's got that going for it.

I've also got some pitches I'm working on with other artists, but those are going to take a bit more time to get ready. Of course I'll share everything and keep people posted as things develop.

In other news, Cincy Comicon is almost here! This convention sounds like it's going to be one of the better events I've attended. If you haven't seen the guest list you should really check it out. The artists and writers attending are all stand-up ladies and gentlemen.

I would like to let everyone know that I'll be posting some writing services here with prices (varied) for different freelance projects. If you know someone that needs content written, edited, or even just critiqued, I'm going to be available for a multitude of different mediums and genres.

Hope all is well out there in internet land! And make sure to check out my new Alternative Comics Beat column on CosmicBookNews.com.

A Good Day to Script

Today was going to be the day I got caught up on all the writing that I wanted to do. Sadly that wasn't the case. My best friend Brandon needed help moving and I was happy to oblige. The increased heat, humidity, and skill needed to guide a trailer on a truck (all Brandon by the way) really took a lot out of me. Maybe I'm just getting older, but I can't do as much things in a single day as I used to.

But against all odds I got scripting done today!

Currently starting Page Five of the script (yes, I use a MacBook, don't judge)

I'm currently writing the script for a proposed series with the very talented Andy Budnick (http://budnickart.blogspot.com/) who recently designed the poster for C3 (Cherry Capital Con) in Traverse City, Michigan.

Andy's Batman poster

The story I'm working on for him is a little more action-oriented than our usual stuff, but I think it'll be a grand experiment for both his art and my writing style.

I'm also going to be updating this site more regularly and plan to get a little bit more fancy with the overall design.

I'll also keep everyone posted on the status of my Top Cow project from the 2012 Talent Hunt!
