Flagler's Few in Shriek Freak Quarterly?

Recently, Johnny of Sarasota Paranormal Investigation and Research Initiative Team (S.P.I.R.I.T.) contacted me via Twitter and suggested I get in touch with the folks over at Shriek Freak Quarterly Magazine, a new horror magazine that makes itself available to the public through press and pdf format.

I spoke with Eric Downton, the magazine's "Deaditor-in-Chief" about possibly submitting some pages to the magazine for their July issue. Eric was very interested in Flagler's Few and encouraged me to go ahead and send along a submission packet for review.

So if all goes as planned, look into purchasing a copy of SFQ in July which may include Flagler's Few's publication debute! And don't stop there! Help this new venue of horror and paranormal fiction pick-up off the ground and subscribe quarterly!

Still working on putting up more of the Pirate Chronicles folks! Bare with me, they're only 2-7 minutes long, but it takes youtube FOREVER to load them up.

The Pirate Chronicles (Introduction)

Hey everyone,

Just checking in to show you the beginning of "The Pirate Chronicles". I'm hanging at a beach house in Matanzas Inlet, a few miles out of St. Augustine. Getting away from ghost tours and classes at SCAD, to work on Flagler's Few in isolation...it's tough...but I'm managing it with my good friends, fellow artist Garett Claypool, Jujuan Burton and Talon May.

Jujuan and Talon are actually the inspirations for the characters Roger Blimes and Professor Merryweather, the two pirates of Flagler's Few. We figured we'd goof off and do some little video podcasts for the heck of it. I don't know if it's going to really work out...probably seems a little silly, but what the hell.

So here's the first introduction. We're going to do some interviews, learn a little bit more of the creation of these characters, Talon's going to preform a fire-dance...should be cool. We'll even do a ghost hunt in St. Augustine and I'll tell some ghost stories.

Stick around, or be forced to walk the plank!!!

A Night with GCOM Paranormal Radio

I'll be a guest tonight at 11:30pm (est) with Michigan's premiere paranormal radio show, GCOM (Ghost Chasers of Michigan). Dino and Diana are great couple of hosts, and expect to hear some new things about the book while I talk with them.

This will probably be my last radio appearance for a while. I love doing them, but I'm sure people need a break from me. Probably starting to sound like a broken record.

So if you haven't tuned into a radio interview, make sure you do tonight!

The Origins of Catalina

This was a small one-day one-page assignment in my Senior Project class. It's got little to do with The Reaper of Saint George Street, but features a character from it's hopeful sequel, Flagler's Few and the Pirate's Skull of Fury.

More to come, enjoy this for now!

Also, I'll be appearing on GCOM Paranormal Radio this Friday. Click the link for the time!

Twittering

I decided to jump on the band wagon and join Twitter. While I still don't understand the massive craze it has sparked, I figured it'd be a nice addition to my blog page. So if you look to the direct right of this post, you'll see I can do moment-by-moment updates of what I'm working on.  I'll still be posting pages and vital info via the blog, but this is just an extra status-updater.

On other news, I'm in Saint Augustine again working more on reference photos. I'll be heading home tomorrow, but I got some work done. I'll be returning in two weeks along with Jujuan Burton and Talon May to film some "podcast" interviews with the men responsible for bringing to life Professor Merryweather and Captain Roger Blimes.

Look for more pics to come soon, as well as FLAGLER'S FEW the film...on YOUTUBE!!!

Jumping on Spooks R Us!

Hey everyone, still plugging away at those pages.

I will be taking another breather this Monday to appear on Dark Plains Radio's "SPOOKS R US" variety show. Hosted by Wayne and Scotty. Based out of Wisconsin, SPOOKS R US showcases a variety of unique radio skits, including the "Paranormal Weather", A Paranormal Science spot, and a comedy routine.

Wayne was generous enough to invite me on this upcoming Monday's show. Seems I'm all over the paranormal radio shows as of late, but it's great fun and it's a fantastic way to get the book promoted.

So tune in this upcoming Monday!

So It Begins...

So today is the day that I officially start down the path to madness. ONE HUNDRED PAGES penciled and inked before May 15th. I will probably end up hating everything about this book by that time...but if you're going to kill yourself...might as well kill yourself doing what you love the most.

I got to say, it's going to be an epic adventure! If I succeed I'll have broken the record for pages completed during Senior Project in the Sequential Art program at SCAD. The current record holder is the amazing Jarrett Williams, who if you haven't seen his work I recommend you check out under my "fellow artist" links.

To have you all fully understand how ridiculously insane this project is...I've attached a link to the video below. This is a mobisode for a little series you might have heard of called "LOST". Just cut and paste yours truly in the place of Matthew Fox.



Seeya off the island!
