R. I. P. Rusty Haller

I am saddened by the news of my friend, fellow creator and Comicbook Artists Guild member Rusty Haller who passed away earlier this past week. I didn't know Rusty that long. But it didn't take long to know Rusty, to see that he was a gentle soul with an incredible talent. Like the rest of the comic book world I mourn his passing, but take joy in the knowledge that his beautiful artwork will keep his memory alive for generations to come. - R. I. P. Rusty Haller - You will be missed.

The MoCCA fest was in full swing this past weekend at the 69th Armory in New York City. I had the chance to participate with my fellow members from the Comicbook Artists Guild or CAG for short.

For those who haven't heard, ICONIC is a great family oriented graphic novel featuring ten stories written and drawn by various members of the CAG organization. All the stories feature well known characters of literature in tales that are sure to entertain readers of all ages. To purchase a copy of ICONIC, go to: www.comicartguild.com .

A Day At The ECBACC With Carl Herring Jr. ; Part Two

A day at the ECBACC was turning out to be a truly great day for me. The love and support that the ECBACC fans showed to all the comic book creators was overwhelming. I got to spend time with my friend Prof. William Foster, a comic book historian and author of several books.

I also got a chance to spend time with Jemir Johnson, author of the fine graphic novel 5 shots.

The press was on hand to give creators a chance to talk about their products. Here I am talking to Dr. Truth about Crime Wave Anthology vol 1 featuring CHASE AND HUNT (TM).

A Day At The ECBACC; Part One

The eighth annual East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention held May 16, 2009 has come and gone. The event was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Philadelphia, PA. An exciting time seemed to be had by all. Fans moved from one vendor to the next, looking over the incredible array of comic books, graphic novels, fine arts and other merchandises that filled the convention hall. Also on hand were workshops, film screenings, and even a martial arts demonstration. The ECBACC had something for everyone.
