For many years, I’ve been attending this Convention in Pop Arts.

I will have to say, this year, was far more pleasing for me than the last few, but way too much for me to walk around the main floor, and check out the latest Comic Book and related material on it.

Mostly, it’s a big media outlet to market new content to the Masses in what I’ve been calling, as well as many others, a “Mega Focus Group”, which not only markets the new material coming out for the next year, but to guage the type of content that will last or at least sell well to the consumer and viewer market of Pop Art.

Marvel, after an absence some years ago, has been making a very strong come back on the floor with their Movie Franchises based off their original IP’s.

But, like last year, enough with all the Market and Business talk, you know I got footage, and this year, video content…

Enjoy.

Here’s a shot from Day 1 on Thursday. I will probably attend the Preview Day next year to get a better look at Floor Booths, but this shot shows just the very beginning of this mega huge event.

One of the most heavily trafficked sections on the Main Floor every single day. Make sure you wear shoes with extra cushion and support for your feet when trekking this way…

The cross path from the “Old Section” of the Convention Center, to the New Sections that were added about 5 years ago.

DCU Booth.

G4’s “Attack of the Show”. All the Content produced and aired on this Network and Program is completely without integrity or any moral standard, so, if you like to watch it, just watch for the Comic, Game or Tech News and nothing more.

Darth Vader with one hot version of Slave Leia… mm hm.

Vader is her father… so, I’d have to ask if it’s ok with Darth if I could date her…

Incredible Hulk was ready to smash!

So, it’s Christmas time, and the New Year is following, although myself like a lot of comic artists consider San Diego Comic Con their “New Years”. I have been lagging on updating this site’s blog with new comic strips and blog posts, but my New Years resolution is to add more on a daily basis.

It’s going to be a very busy New Years already, with several projects I am heading up on Writing and Art chores, and adding into that regular updates here on RNABrand.com and my Deviant Art Gallery Page.

I have some collaborations going, and here’s a list of upcoming projects including the long awaited completion and continued production on my own titles, Hangwire and Legacy: The Shadow Chronicles.

1. “Blood of the Black Sun” – A Vlad/Dracula story created and written by Jeffrey Pritchett. Art by yours truly.
2. “Crash, Cash and Bullets” – Civil War Era Barren Gulch, New Mexico. A western tale to be announced soon. Created and Written by Jeffrey Pritchett and Yours truly.
3. “Mabus Incarnate” – An illustrative video serial. To be announced in Late January.
4. Hangwire! – Yes, it’s being produced still and issue one is almost drawn and colored. Will announce the future of this project by February.
5. Legacy: The Shadow Chronicles – This Anthology and Story is huge… and is being conceptualized still but will feature short stories online and preview the book’s plot.
6. RNA Brand Comic Strips! – Coming back with a vengeance in the new year, ET Life: Strange Days, RNA Editorial Comic Strips, Cartoon Tom and more will return with a lot more variety and regular updates. Stay tuned,been waiting to get back into the groove.

Also, check out our Twitter page. Starting to get that going to keep networking options expanding RNA Brand on Twitter

I’ll try to get that going on my sites soon, need to mess around with code more on this blog…

Of course I don’t update this site as much as I’d like.

So, we’re working on several projects! I’ve been too busy to come up with new posts for my website. I plan to update daily, though… Starting Monday, February 23rd, 2009, marks the daily update cycle. (I hope)

What I plan to bring is a daily sketch and comic strip which will only be seen here, with announcements on MySpace, Deviant Art and other various associated sites.

Projects:

1. Crash, Cash and Bullets – Western story which I am scripting, co-writing and illustrating. (Check Deviant Art page for preview art)
2. “Fifth Sun” Anthology Comic Magazine – A 48 Page Anthology with Short Comic Stories, Prose, Articles, Interviews, Reviews and Previews from the world of the Paranormal, Supernatural, Horror and Music.
3. Artemis Strange – Written by Kevin Pickett, I’ve been asked to do some Drawing for a Detective Action/Adventure book.
4. Mabus Incarnate comic video collaboration with Polish DJ and Musician, DJ Lukeing Forward.
5. End to Cold – Zombies! More details soon.
6. Hangwire: Devil in His Eyes and Shorts – More pages and short stories coming soon.
7. Legacy: The Shadow Chronicles – Scripts and Art being completed. (Check out the “Gray Alien” art below)

Until then, you can see almost daily updates on the Deviant Art page. New Sketches, Comic Art and News.

Have some new comic strips and comic art in general to post, some stuff will be from known characters, and some spoofs. The updates will come in tomorrow, so this post will be edited to add the image(s).

Keep and eye out!

While trying to schedule my posts, I’ve decided to run Sunday as my Sketch Day, with a no post last night I will try to make Saturday’s open.

I took the day off, did some minor work here and there, but Sat’s are open to anything.

Here’s a look at Sketch work for “Artemis Strange”. I am working on different styles for this project, something that would fit the theme and script. I am very close to getting what I want it to look like.

Artemis Strange Comic

While I’ve used WordPress for over a Year, working out CSS over themes and editing the hell out of it over and over, the site design still doesn’t suit me and one of my links does not have the correct url… and I can’t find the code.

Hopefully this week I’ll get more insight and work out the design and code to the site. I also got the update for ComicPress v.2.7 and it looks very good. Hope to do something slick to update this site with it.

Well, on to more work today…

Cheers!
