Yeah, you've got an inky style I can't readily replicate. I wonder if Illustrator does me any good in the long run.

It was cool hanging out next to your table at Big Wow! Comicfest this weekend. All the best - you have great skills.
By the way, I haven't used them yet but I hear and see good things coming from Keness printing (www.keness.com). They are local, and are more available and responsive than some of the online printers. I believe they have a 100 issue minimum, but the prices are still competitive and the cost-per-book actually drops with larger orders. I'll likely use them once I've got enough material for a trade paperback, and possiby for my upcoming release of Sadocat #1.
Cheers!

Yeah, Nietzsche was cryptic but he had alot to say about the human condition. He especially encouraged others to discard their pasts as fodder for building better futures. In certain regards, such philosophy may seem callous but is often necessary to achieve current and future happiness.

Hey this is James (The big guy) from the theater who's going to be opening a shop in LC in 2012. Wanted to let you know I stopped by your page and think your artwork is fantastic and I'll be thrilled to carry any and all comics you have ready to go on day one. Congrats on all your hard work Tom, your style kicks ass!

Thanks, James. I'll be finished with a penciling of my first issue by the end of the week. Do you mind if I send you a copy for review? I want to make revisions before starting on the ink and paint. Plus, do you know any female comic readers? I also need to see if my work appeals to them at all.

Please do send me a penciled version, I'd be more than happy to go over it. I noticed while going over your posted pages on here that some typos have made it through to the "final" product, and one of my areas I feel I excel at is english, so if you don't mind I'll keep an eye out for that too, to make it look professional.
And, when you've finished this and if you have any free-time, let me know. I've actually been looking for an artist to draw a story I've been penning. If you'd be interested, let me know and we'll collaborate on that when you have the time.
On the female comic readers front.. Unfortunately, I don't really know any serious female readers. My younger sister has taken a shine to Deadpool, and my girlfriend grabbed a few Willow comics (From Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but has never gotten around to reading them.
But, I can pass it along to my younger sister as shes seeming to get more into comics as time goes on.
Keep me in the loop Tom!
James

Also, about your project: I may be able to help but it depends on how much free time I'm able to make for myself. We'll talk about it later.

Indeed. I get a kick out of Nietzsche and his mad deconstructionist skillz.
Take that, Western Philosophy!
