Well, after years of subconscious conjecture, I've finally gone and created a site to host and connect people to my artwork. There have been a lot of exciting developments this past month, not least of which has been my signing contracts with Stewart Bros Studios, Inc, to provide the artwork for their historical graphic novel, tentatively titled, Tut. Additionally, I have been collaborating with another writer, Michael Derrick, on a couple of projects, one of which I can talk about and one which...Well, I can't right now. But soon!
June 2018 has been all about follow through. In May, I had been working on a new direction for the story and art of my own solo project, Hush Ronin, and sent the resultant pitch pack off to Image Comics for consideration. The general rule of thumb there is that if one has not heard back in a month, to consider the proposal rejected. Well, it had been three weeks and no response, so I rephrased the pitch for another run at AlternaComics just over a week ago. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, some of the pitch is available to view/read here on the site, and there is a strong possibility I will make the first issue available online, either through Tapas or as a direct download. Following the adventures of Jack Irons: Steel Cowboy (more its adventures in the online marketplace than the actual narrative of the piece) has given me both hope and notion to crowdsource Hush Ronin when its hour draws nigh.
Anyway, there's still a little bit of tweaking to do before I can set this thing live. If you're not already, be sure to follow me on Twitter (@hushronin) and Instagram (@schiekapedia). It is a bit easier for me to be more prolific there than here. Thank you very much for stopping by, please check out the site, and stay tuned! There is lots, lots, lots more coming!
Yours Indubitably,
J. Schiek
