The site is slowly shaping up, though I still have several tweaks to make. Chris Weiermiller has also started up a portfolio site, located at the appropriately named chrisweiermiller.com.
We've also been interviewed by local culture site SFist. We talk about our project, our city and the strangeness that waits around every corner in North Beach. Here's the interview.
My friend Chris Weiermiller and I submitted a story idea to the Comic Book Challenge at the end of May. The contest is a sort of American Idol for aspiring comic book writers and artists. The contest is put on by Platinum Studios down in LA, with the final contestant winner getting paid to create their story idea (with merchandising deal to boot).
If you're interested, see our story idea HERE!
Well, Chris and I have made the Top 50! As the next step, we'll be heading down to Comic-Con on July 26th to pitch the concept to a panel of 5 judges. As I am the writer, I will have to pitch the concept alone, but Chris will be preparing some art for use as a visual aid during the pitch. If we can make the cut to the Top 10, the contest will move on to rounds of internet voting....so we'll be needing your HELP!
But no point in counting our chickens before they're hatched...we're currently working hard on getting ready for the pitch. I don't want to reveal too much about it at this point -- but all the pitches will be available online after ComicCon. As part of the media sponsorship, AT&T has also been promoting the contest at their blue room.
Chris and I will be doing an interview or two as we lead up to the pitch, so I'll be sure to link from here. Good Luck to all the contestants, and Good Luck to us!
While it's possible this is not as dramatic as Bill Pullman raising his fist and inspiring a group of ragtag cadets into staging a last-ditch attempt against an impending alien onslaught, it's kind of a big deal...so please humor me.
I'm relaunching my website for the first time in what seems like a long time.
The old site served me well, but it's time to move onward and upward. Enjoy.
