THRILL SEEKER COMICS™: Coming up for air with an observation

I finished up this evening some of the online comic strips. Right now, I'm getting to the end of January's artwork. I work on those comics strips on Wednesday and Thursday evenings mainly. The rest of the week and weekends, I'm working on the upcoming THRILL SEEKER COMICS ANTHOLOGY comic books. I think this is the busiest I've been drawing comics and I'm having fun. A few years back, I bought a Wacom Cintiq Pro touch monitor screen that I draw directly upon with a digital pen. I have all sorts of digital brushes to use. My "go to" pen is the Milton Caniff inker pen based on the style of the TERRY AND THE PIRATES, STEVE CANYON, and MALE CALL writer/artist who inspired me to do these comic strips. Again, I'm having a good time doing these. I wish it could be my full-time job but this is my side hustle hobby that I do for the love of it. Jack Kirby was right that working in comics will break your heart, but I'm scratching that creative itch. I hope those of you that are choosing to read my comics strips and pick up my comic book are enjoying them. 

Let me know if you are and your comments could end up in my next letter column in issue #2.

Thanks and ALL THE BEST!

FILMS: My Top Five Most Memorable Movie Experiences Going to the Theater

 

# 5 – I saw CASABLANCA, which is now my favorite film, while I was a college student at Illinois State University around 1990. I saw it at the college run movie theater at the time by myself. The movie mesmerized me and I became a lifelong Bogart fan in that moment.

 

# 4 – I saw THE SEVEN SAMURAI by Akira Kurosawa starring Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura in a classroom theater setting during my freshman year of college at Illinois State University where I was taking a non-Western film class also in 1990. I became an instant Kurosawa fan and it is one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen.

 

# 3 – Seeing THE BLUES BROTHERS starring John Belushi and Dan Aykryod in 1980. I was in Memphis with my dad and my Uncle Mike. It also changed my life and turned me on to soul and blues music.

 

# 2 – The most memorable was seeing PULP FICTION in Atlanta, Georgia in 1994 with my first wife after we were recently wed and graduated college. The film was unlike anything I had seen before. It was the first time that I was in a movie theater and at the end of the movie, the audience stood up, clapped, and cheered. For several minutes. You would swear we were at a Cannes Film Festival.

 

 

# 1 – The greatest moment of my life going to the movies was seeing STAR WARS on opening day with my Dad and brother in May 1977 in Fresno, California. It literally changed my life forever. My imagination was unlocked. Countless touchpoints related to Star Wars to this day have impacted my life that I couldn't list them all.

THRILL SEEKER COMICS™: Update - Issue #2 and MS. TITTENHURST Online Comic Strip is Coming

Issue #2 of THRILL SEEKER COMICS ANTHOLOGY is coming along nicely. We're expanding the ongoing book from 36 pages to 52 pages. That allows the addition of a couple of more stories in each issue. I originally wanted the book to be a 100-page anthology released once a year but determined that wasn't the best way to go. While issue #1 is 36 pages, I feel we can boost it up just a bit since this book is getting released twice a year as an ongoing project. I'm finishing up the artwork on a 10-page story right now for issue #2 by Christmas and then I have a new 16-page surprise tale and a new 8-page MS. TITTENHURST detective story to draw in January and February. We're then looking at a May 1st Kickstarter for a July 4th release of this second issue. I also have over half of issue #3 drawn, too, which gives me some breathing room.

And then, there is the secret THRILL SEEKER COMICS project that we're working on looking for a release on New Year's Day. Yeah... maybe not so secret if you've been following the clues... we're going to launch an online comic strip starring our Dame Detective that will run every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in 2024. More details closer to Christmas time.
