Totally Biased- General Grudge

So it has been about two months since I did my  first sketchbook video and  BLOG POST about my attempt to try and relearn drawing after being frustrated and tired and quitting around twenty years ago. Things have , as I am sure you can imagine, been up and down since then. I've made some improvements and also hit my own share of roadblocks, but for the most part I feel I have been improving and having fun. I just thought I would make a quick blog post and share the new sketchbook video and a couple of scans of drawings. I recommend  clicking on the video and watching it on YouTube instead of embedded because I have not figured out how to make it a proper viewing size in the blog yet. 😀 I mentioned drawing a comic for the blog in my last sketchbook update and as you can see in the video I did do about five pages. The original plan was to do the comic as a training exercise and to also show off the plot for a very original idea I had for a book. I wanted to at

Another day and another Totally Biased Comic Book review! Today I will be reviewing "The Napalm Brothers" by  Six Combat Scale ! Sorry I do not know his real name, and the book did not have a credits page that I could find, so I will have to use his Twitter handle.

I really liked and totally respect this business model and hope to see more creators going the route of offering a book that they have at least completed the artwork, coloring, lettering and such and have the book ready to go to the printers. It is better for all involved and I believe brings about more trust fr

This is the Totally Biased Comic Book Review of Soulfinder by Douglas Ernst and Timothy Lim. Souldfinder is a great, original property that is somewhat of an interesting mix of G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown and the CW's Supernatural. This graphic novel by  Washington Times  columnist and comic book industry influencer   Doug Ernst  was crowd funded on  IndieGoGo  and raised a respectable 33,237$ for a first time campaign and the creators did an excellent job of fulfilling the project and giving their backers a quality product with no industry drama. I like and follow both  Douglas Ernst  and  Tim Lim  on Twitter. They are both nice guys and treat their fans well and tend to try and stay out of the  "comic book war" dramas that seem a daily part of life on Twitter. I personally feel that Doug sets the standard for how a creator should act "professionally" online and when dealing with the various factions and personalities in the current movement
