The Road to San Diego
Have you ever been in a situation where you hoped something would work out the way you envisioned in your head? You plan, you work, you design and do everything in your power to make what has been residing in your imagination materialize before your very eyes. Sometimes the finished project falls way short of even the best intentions.
Not this time.
Pictured here (click on it to see a larger view) is the first page of complete art work for the 60 MINUTE BROADWAY comic book that's based on my screenplay of the same name. I'm blown away. One of my best friends on this planet, Jeff Schuetze brought over this finished page as well as the pencils for the three other pages we are doing as a proposal to pitch at this coming weekend's San Diego Comic Con. I was blown away by his rendering of the characters and stories as well as the unique coloring and the way he just brings it all to life. His work is amazing!
This is something we've been talking about for a few months and to see it come to life fills me with excitement and joy. His artwork is perfect for the story...cartoony enough to capture great facial expressions, but realistic enough to convey the story and emotions therein. It's exactly how I hoped it would look and I can't wait to see more.
We're going to do the four page intro for the story, combine in it with the cover art as well as script pages and story synopsis in a pitch book and hopefully make some connections at the convention to get it published. I can't imagine anyone taking a look at what we have so far and, if intrigued by it, not wanting to see more pages when we get them.
I'll be posting all four pages once they're colored, so keep checking back. That, plus reports from the convention, the "M Bar" video clips as well as any assorted audition and Hollywood craziness...well, this should be a good week for updates.
