Very cool...

....PISTOLFIST video promo!

BLUEWATER PRODUCTIONS PICKS UP PISTOLFIST

Pistolfist is a miniseries that I lettered a while back. The first issue came out and was very well recieved....unfortunately the series fell victim to the identity crisis of the publisher Alias Enterprises. (Alias dropped several books mid-stream and became a Christian publisher...which is cool, but it left some books stranded) It's very nice to see it will now have a chance to be seen by a wide audience. Some people, probably the more jaded among us, will chuckle... maybe even give a slight eye-roll... at the title or the image of a man with what basically looks like a lightning firing musket where his hand should be.... but they're wrong.

This is a GOOD book.

Don't be a tool...BUY IT.


PRESS RELEASE:

Bluewater Productions adds PISTOLFIST -- the critically-acclaimed saga of a masked, runaway slave who becomes an American Revolutionary War legend. Starting this July, the series launches just in time for Independence Day.

Originally scheduled to be released through Alias last year, Bluewater will publish the series which asks the question: How precious is your freedom? Would you fight for it? Would you dare to die for it? Set amidst the American Revolution, this critically-acclaimed series follows the saga of a mysterious, masked runaway slave whose destiny is helplessly entwined with that of a famous, yet frail, Benjamin Franklin. Inspired by true characters and events, you'll soon discover why fans and fellow creators alike have chosen to "rev it up!"

Bluewater publisher Darren G. Davis said, "I remember seeing this issue floating around Alias and I loved the concept as well as the art. It is one of the most polished books I have seen come across my desk. J.S. Earls and his creative team are the perfect fit for Bluewater. We are not really looking to pick up books, but when one comes to me that I am excited about - how can you turn it down?!" Davis continues "We are still staying at around 5 titles a month. We do not want to compete with ourselves in the marketplace."

J.S. Earls -- creator of the series -- said, "To say I'm excited about bringing Pistolfist to Bluewater would definitely be an understatement. They're as passionate about and as committed to their creations as I am about mine. We definitely share certain standards of quality - not just with the usual stuff, but logos and everything. Those details are things which help keep you a notch above your competition...and that you can be proud of. Several publishers have expressed an interest in Pistolfist, but none of them were as honest or as focused as Bluewater Productions".

J.S. Earls went on, "Since this is an election year in the US, when people evaluate what's truly important to them, I think Pistolfist's core theme of 'freedom' really seems to resonate. Regardless of your political persuasion, it's that freedom to think and express and choose that many hold so dear. We take it for granted, but - when you think about it - it's at the heart of us all".

PISTOLFIST makes it mark at Bluewater in July of 2008 and will be monthly.

One down...

Okay...just going to try and slap up a quick post when something gets done. That way people waiting on me can keep up with what's going on without me having to send out 10 emails a day to fill them in and beg for patience. ;)

Okay, Pistolfist #3 is finally done and sent off for approval. (That's the cover to #1 since I couldn't find the cover to #3) One more issue, I believe, and that books wraps up.

Also recieved the inked pages of Black Watch #2 from Bong. Few little things we might have to tweak but it's pretty much done. Some really bizzarre monster he came up with.

Okay, some Trailer Park of Terror and some Drunken Monkey and some Psychosis and some writing....and i think some other lettering that I'm not rembering off the top of my head...all coming up this week......

Chippin' away...

Chippin' away at this mound of work that's managed to pile up due to illness, distraction and everything inconveniently coming in at the same time. (I swear, there is almost no point in the concept of a schedule in comics production)

Pistolfist #2 is done and off for proofing.
