Kid Occult!

So this is probably not commonly done, but I am uber excited so screw it.
-JG OUT!!!

I Been Here For Years!

So my blog laid fallow (if you don't know what that means look it up its a agriculture term) again. I am sorry to my one fan Luis Lopez who has threatened me basically every time he sees me...

Why have I been gone? Well, that's what I plan on telling you in this post.

First order of business, I've been working on a pitch for a comic series tentatively titled "Kid Occult," which follows a fugitive sidekick, The Kid, as he fights to exonerate his mentor, Professor Occult. The best way to describe it is equal parts Batman and Robin, and Don Quixote. I am working on the pitch with an AMAZING artist named Leonel Castellani, he is supremely talented and a really cool guy. I used the forums on the website Digital Webbing, as recommended by Frank Barbarie and C.B. Cebulski, two awesome guys who have given me a ton of tips and advice along the way. Below is a sketch by Leo of the series' main character The Kid! (named after the Charlie Chaplin film of the same name).


I was amazed by how many talented artists responded to my posts on Digital Webbing, one post introduced me to a load of amazing talents. I really recommend the site to anyone working on a pitch or looking for talented: pencilers, inkers, etc. Like I said, I received responses from so many great artists, so I thought I'd share a sketch by another one of my posts respondents. Below is a sketch by another extremely talented artist, Daniel Picciotto, who didn't quite fit this series, but I hope to work with on another pitch.

The other thing I have been workign on is a webcomic titled Idle Minds, which is posted right below this blog. I have a few strips in the bag, but I am struggling with the website details.... So anyone out there, if you can help me out I will love you eternally! In anyevent, Idle Minds follows a 20-something guy who rediscovers his childhood imaginary friend. So yeah... hopefully soon I'll have a site to post the strips on and blog on...

hopefully...
Otherwise I have been working, chilling with friends, and being sick (if I was a horse I'd have been shot LONG ago!)
