Haven't done a new journal entry since 2011, I guess!!! LOL!
Sorry, been VERY BUSY for the most part. Still doing my western and the bulk of my time away from DeviantArt was to finalize the rough sketchings of my western comics' pages. Doing penciling and inking, at present of just over 230+ pages of story (not including chapter illustrations, covers, trade dress, etc.). Thinking I may add some additional pages ballooning my story to about 240 pages in count (have a few scenes that I feel will better flesh some elements out).
In any case, aside from that, my time online is usually on my Facebook page and while I was just there, I happened across this following link below by comic scribe Gail Simone to all the aspiring female comic book creators looking to burst onto the comic industry playing field. It's no holds barred and the lady tells it like she sees it, encouraging our fine female voices out there and cutting through the utter clutter. I've long been a supporter of getting more and more female creatives in the field. Comics has always had female fans and creators, but not nearly as many as there are us guys. You ask me, I think our industry could stand to use more of the ladies and their voices out there. Noticed over the past 5 years or more that more and more females are getting into comics and other related genre entertainment than ever before, and I MUST SAY, I'm totally glad for it. Keeps things interesting and utterly exciting.
Looking forward to more stuff out there from the creative ladies (already HUGE on Image Comics' Pretty Deadly by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Emma Rios with colors by Jordie Bellaire, also check out DC/Vertigo's Coffin Hill, if you haven't done so already).
Alright, gotta book on outta here! More of my own pages to tighten-up the pencils on for more inking. This below link is for all the creative ladies on my followers list, as well as any of you gents that are inclined to give it a read and support our female creators out there. Really, comics are for EVERYONE, regardless of gender. It's a huge industry out there. Room enough for everyone to not only partake of all the killer-cool comics has to offer, but also to MAKE THEIR OWN!!!

Chadwick Boseman/Black Panther tribute
Earlier I uploaded my digitally colored tribute piece of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther here and on my other social media. Sometime thereafter I got 5 messages from people looking to purchase the inked black and white original artwork. I turned them all down. I didn’t do that piece in effort to sell it. One of the offers went up to a couple hundred dollars, but it wasn’t a matter of money.
That drawing was meant as a tribute to Boseman. That’s it. If I had accepted money for it, especially so soon after his passing, I’d have felt like a greedy punkass. That’s not why I did that drawing. I created that in hono

DC FANDOME!
As some you, my followers, may have noticed, lately I’ve been posting work in progress illustrations featuring primarily DC Comics characters. Reason for that is, DC Comics are holding a 24 hour online event on August 22nd and they put out the call for artists to enter their fan art for a contest and I’ve decided to enter it.
That week just before that day, I’ll be campaigning my butt off for votes considering the first round of the contest is based around fan voting then those voted in will be decided upon by the peeps DC. The top 27 chosen will get a cool $$$ prize and more.
I figured even if I don’t win anything,
After a LOOOONNNGGG DA ABSENCE...
...I'M BACK!!!
Wow! It hasn't been since June of 2014 that I did one of these Journal Entries. Guess I've neglected my DA page something fierce, huh? Well, life has a way of doing that to you. In my case, this past year has been the year that put me to the test of my life...meant that literally as well as figuratively. There's no way to post this with a quick abbreviated update, so I'll just have to dive head first into the thick of it and start from the top of the situation that tested me.
April 11th of last year, I was rushed by my family to the hospital after weeks of feeling unwell only to discover that I was fighting a severe bout of S
