Take a look at some of the cards I have completed and let me know if you just so happen to run across any of them.

Comic Creator’s Alliance

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead

Monday, January 11th is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. To participate, we formed the Comic Creator’s Alliance–a group of over eighty comic book creators (both web and print) who volunteered our artistic talents to raise money and awareness for this cause. You may not know it, but there are currently 27 million enslaved people worldwide- more than double the number of enslaved Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. UNICEF estimates that 1.2 million children every year are sold into slavery, most of it sexual. The US Department of Justice estimates 16,000 victims of human trafficking are brought into the United States every year. Unlike slavery in the 19th century, what is happening today is happening in secret. So it won’t end until awareness is raised, and people like you and me take a stand.

So here’s what we did: each creator contributed an original drawing of one of our own female characters, and combined them into a single wallpaper image. The wallpaper features characters from The Phoenix Requiem, Girls with Slingshots, Earthsong, Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa, Looking for Group, Shadowgirls, Marsh Rocket, The Uniques and three IDW Publishing titles: Fallen Angel, The Dreamland Chronicles and The Dreamer, and lots, lots more! Donate today to download this unique, once-in-a-lifetime wallpaper. The Donations Drive will last for two weeks, from January 11th – 24th. All proceeds will be split evenly between Love146 and Gracehaven House- two organizations working on rehabilitation of victims and prevention of this crime.

2010 with MAW Productions

2009 is out of here and we are looking to get back on the publication schedule in 2010 with new stories, new convention appearances and a few surprises. I have been working very hard on projects and commissions as well as setting the stage for the new web comics to begin being put up here for your reading pleasure. I have also been working like a mad man at completing the next Jetta graphic novel. Here is a shot of the finished inks and tones for page 2.

Jetta: Full Circle will be hitting our website, Haven Distributions, DCBS and Heroes Corner in July 2010! Don’t miss out.

Synopsis:

After the revelation of betrayal told by her mortal enemy, Terminus, Jetta must now decide whether to fight beside the Toshigawa or not and her decision may rest on the shoulders of the one she loves most, Kim. However, there is something moving in the darkness that threatens all she holds dear as friends become enemies and loved ones pay the ultimate sacrifice. For Jetta, nothing will ever be the same again.

Don’t miss this exciting chapter of the Jetta series.

Please visit our store here to find the rest of the Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa saga. As well, you can find our books at Discount Comic Book Services, Heroes Corner, Lulu.com, Haven Distributors, Amazon.com, or fine comic book shops near you. Just ask them for Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa!

Like I said up top. I have been working on commissions as well. Here is a small art dump of some of the commissions I have worked on in the last few months!

Commissions, Commissions, Commissions

Martheus loves Starwars and any chance he can get to illustrate some of the characters is an opportunity to get a little bit closer to the Starwars Universe. Here are two commissions that we have completed for another fan of the world that Lucas has built.

We are available for commissions for you as well. Take a look at our gallery to see what we have in store for you.
