Hi, it's been a while.
Time for some updates.
1) During April going into May, I was in the process of compiling issues 1-4 of Deimos Saga into a print trade. This included re-lettering the entirety of chapter one, which required me to do some background touch ups as the original lettering was drawn on the pages themselves. Let's just say it was one of the more painful things I've done in pursuit of my own comic. My computer decided to act up during this time adding to the fun.
The good news is it's done and can be found on Amazon, U.S. and EU platforms, for $15. Drawn to Comics, a local Phoenix, Arizona store, also has a couple issues as well. Just type Deimos Saga and it comes up.
2) I moved at the end of May during the PHX convention where I debuted the Deimos Saga Trade ( It did well). This is not something I recommend anyone do as it adds some very interesting vectors to the already stressful prep that goes into a major con. Unfortunately I've been having connectivity issues as well as usb ports not speaking to my computer. Which is one of the reason it's been so quiet on my DA page. I think I've got a bead on the actual issue and hope to spam you guys with a bunch of delayed update.
3) July should be catch up month for my three comic series. Also I'm planning to take "Red Cap", the 24hr comic, and do it up as a proper short for the fall.
I'll do a lengthier journal once I can upload my work again.

P.S. If you do decide to purchase the Deimos Saga trade please drop me a note about what you liked, didn't like or would have liked included.
Thanks.

RED CAP treatment
Just thought I'd show some of the work up for a future project under the working title of RED CAP 2.0 As soon as Day Zero completes, I'll starting working on Red Cap pages. The idea was first sighted several years ago when I was doing my first 24 hour comic challenge. It was a riff on Red Riding Hood tale, taking several years after the initial tale. You can see the initial idea illustrated poorly in the completed 24hr comic RED CAP. I came away from the challenge happy to have completed it but feeling that the there was potential for this to be built into a proper one shot. Years later it's time to put it to the test. In addition I decided to a try some new things as far as writing goes. I started this with a 2 page treatment. It's more for pinning the bare bones idea out before working out the details.

Looking back at a Lost May, and June.
May and June sucked as I manged to dither most of those months away. I usually have a post chapter slump and that's always been a grind to work myself out of. Coincided with work being very active and feeling the lack of my usual art groups ( not wise to gather in groups), plus all the places outside of home where I did my concept and story work are not available. So July is about doing the hard work of leveraging myself out of this hole and back onto track. I still need to do edits For Deimos Saga chapter six PROJECTS & GOALS of 2020 Pages only count as completed when posted (Current month postings not counted in totals) Deimos Saga - 2020 Year page count goal of 20 (revise) - Pages completed 6 Revised goal, because traditionally I take a month for edits and another for story work up on the new chapter. Ran into post completion doldrums. Usually I have a convention date that forces me to get the edits done and out to the printers in a month. That's not true for 2020 plus
Editorial Month of May
April closed out decently, May looks complicated.
Mostly because I need to do edits and I'm back to the normal amount of free time.
PROJECTS & GOALS of 2020

Deimos Saga - 2020 Year page count goal of 24 - Pages completed 6
Hit goal for April, good. Also may have finished chapter 6 so the 2 page goal is adjusted to dialogue and art edits. I do have a nagging suspicion that I need to add a page around the 2/3rds mark and the end to smooth out story threads
Day Zero - 2020 Year page count goal of 12 - Pages completed 4
I should call Day Zero t
April Indexi
I have a bunch of unexpected free time this month.
Looking to play catch up and get to some projects with this time.
Now for a report on last month.
PROJECTS & GOALS of 2020
Pages only count as completed when posted (Current month postings not counted in totals)
Deimos Saga - 2020 Year page count goal of 24 - Pages completed 4
Lagging on production, April should see me at least hit the two page a month goal. Did feel good about revising page 24, better page for it.
Day Zero - 2020 Year page count goal of 12 - Pages completed 4
I should call March the Revisionist month. Was much happier with the new page
15 and managed to sneak
