Newness!!

So today I officially started my new job as the Syracuse Comic Books Examiner at the Syracuse edition of the Examiner. Pretty awesome indeed, I basically get paid for reviewing awesome comics that I love heh. It's a neat set up as well, I just have to post frequently and get lots of views and comments as well. Yes yes pretty great I have to say haha.

"Look Up." as quoted from "The Quest for Dairy"

Well ladies and gents it appears to me that things are going to start looking up for yours truly and my lovely fiance. Recently I have been getting a lot of opportunities for my line of work, i.e., writing and illustrating. I had a meeting last night with the Utica Players about the play I have written and also about possible art related jobs too. It went quite well I have to say, all the committee members seemed quite responsive and enthused about the play and also about working with me. I should hear from them no later than mid January about everything. Unfortunately they are a volunterry organization so no moola is to be given for compensation but hey I need the exposure anyway, any publicity is good for me right now! Also I have been emailed back by Mr. Mike Bova of M3P Media and other such related news companies to have a meeting with him. A while back I had emailed him my resume, sample illustrations and a sample article and now he has emailed me saying that he would like to meet with me; it must be some sort of good news right?!

Also very recently, like five minutes ago from when I'm typing this I have submitted a sample article and bio and other such info to The Examiner another local newspaper organization to get a job writing articles on comic books, which would def rock to the core, am I right?! So hopefully all goes well and I start making some cash and getting known as what I am, a freelance Illustrator and Writer!! YEAH GO FOR THE GOLD!! Pumped up I have to say, also I am looking for a job for my little fiance in photography, she is a a great photographer and has a keen eye for composition and interesting shots. Her taste in material is impecable, she is currently getting together a new portfolio to show her latest findings. So if anyone needs a photographer let me know via email.

Wish us continued luck!
