[and now for the shew]
I am extremely excited to announce that I have landed my first paying art gig in Oklahoma! I did some murals while living in California, but since I’ve been back, I have been primarily programming as an occupation. I have a passion for art and comics and amazingly I will be working with both! I approached the owners of Speeding Bullet Comics in Norman about redoing the panels/doors that cover their back issue bins. They were very interested. Later in the evening I stopped back by with samples of my work. Annette (owner) was very excited about getting the panels replaced. We worked out a deal for the panels. In addition we discussed making it an event. Instead of putting up the new panels one at a time, we would do a showing where we would put them all out at once. I would also be able to display a number of my other pieces and offer them for sale. She also offered me some wall space to place pieces for sale on a permanent basis for a percentage of sales. To say the least, I am totally stoked! I cannot wait and I am working in overdrive on my art to make an awesome impression. Ultimately I would like to have a portfolio worthy of showing to some DC editors in order to start working on books for them.
God is good and I give Him all the glory. I would not have had the nerve or the opportunity without His timing and encouragement.
