Short Attention Span Theatre/ Stray Bullet page 10

Hey it's been a while since I have had a comic out, I've been busy with my day job and also helping to put Bent-con together. As of today I give myself permission to indulge my ADD and to post/publish pages from the half dozen stories I am working on in my head as they are completed, not chaining myself to one or another, which tends to get me stuck, creatively.

Stories I am working on are:
Stray Bullet - Continuing stories of Feral, the Ghost Skater, and Doug.
Code Blue - Zane and Gunnar and sex-life after death.
Loose - the Ghost Skater's journey through the otherworlds to keep a crazed Feral in check.
the Rubicon - my sci-fi epic. a martian cat-burglar becomes an agent of freedom.
the Curious Case of the Persuasive Pup - a "Lovecraftian" tale written by Daniel Stewart and myself.
the Old Man and the Fish - a young man's new pet has a very old and evil soul, written by Steve Lozier.
oh, and of course;
Rainbow Warrior - my ongoing strip for the Fight magazine, about a gay MMA fighter

So without further ado, here is page 10 from "Stray Bullet", pages 1-9 appeared in Feral and the Ghost Skater #1.

comic strip for "the fight" magazine

     So I've been advertising in "the Fight" magazine, a gay and lesbian free magazine that strives to be a quality above the usual rag. I like it, the politics of the mag are spot on, and the look of the thing makes it look like it costs money, yet it is free. It is a good read while being something your mom could look at.
Anyways, they had asked me to develop a comic strip to serialize in the magazine, the first installment in November's issue.

Now there is an MMA magazine called "Fight", but don't get them confused. It does get confusing, especially

since I decided to go with a story idea I'd had for a while dealing with a gay Mixed Martial Artist who'd grown up in a home full of domestic violence and how that affects him as a person, fighter, and partner.

Above is the finished piece. At least until I though... wait! They did not say it has to be B&W! So I colored it.

My partner Daniel has been acting as my editor on this. Thanks, baby!

has it really been 3 months?

So I've been slacking on the blog here. Been busy trying to keep the shop afloat and planning bent-con and such. I will be more forthcoming toot suite.

Here's a piece I made for the silly frags, a podcast for gay video-gamers put out every 2 weeks by my boyfriend Daniel, my buddy Dean and some vagrant named Dan. Check them out on iTunes, they are very entertaining.

MMA birthday!

Hey all, trying to catch up with my blog. Back in June my boyfriend Daniel took me to see STRIKEFORCE:Live at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
We’ve been to the UFC in Vegas, and King of the Cage a few times in Highland at the San Manuel casino. We saw a simulcast of UFC  111 at a theatre in Burbank, and when I heard that Strikeforce was doing a show in L.A. I knew what I wanted to do for my birthday, but sadly, Daniel said he couldn’t afford tickets so we went to see another UFC simulcast (ufc 115) the saturday beforehand instead.
Well the fucker tricked me and totally surprised me with tickets to Strikeforce as well. Not only that, but the seats were 4th row.
Fucking shit.

4th row!

Now the closer you get you can’t see any ground action because of the raise of the cage floor, but we got to see a lot of MMA stars close up who were walking past the front row and saying hi to fans. Jens Pulver in particular was very friendly and spent a good amount of time hanging out and talking to people. Dean Lister walked by close enough to touch. Handsome fella.  Gabe Ruediger looked pretty cool with his facial hair and these guys all look a lot bigger in person, like bulgey. Jason Miller had a mob all over him.
A lot of the bigger stars had seats up behind the stage near the cameras, of course.
I took a few shots of Robbie Lawler fighting Babalu, but the cage actually makes the images look pixelated.

All in all a great time, and we were able to take the subway there. Cool!
In a few weeks is a fight at the Palladium, which I can walk too.
Can’t ask for more than that!

my in on my man

This is a picture Daniel took of himself to show a friend the tattoos I have done on him. The bands are the oldest, the victorian work in between the bands were next. He had a C’thulhu idol tattooed on his calf after that, and last summer we did the lion’s head on his chest. What is next?

He is a pretty good photographer, check out his tumblr blog and see for yourself!

I heart MMA

So, back in july, Daniel and I went to Vegas to see UFC 86. It was a week before our 2 year anniversary, so why not, eh? Headliners were Forest Griffon and Rampage Jackson, it was very exciting, and LOUD. I’ve never seen so many affliction shirts in my life. We had nosebleed seats, and as much as I tried to watch the actual fights, the giant projection screen just off to the left kept dragging my attention to it. I only remembered to take pics of the fights during the Cote v Almeida match. I wish I had remembered to during Koscheck v Lytle, which was probably the bloodiest fight I’ve ever seen. The lady next to me was covering her eyes, and so was Daniel.
These pics are all of the Cote/Almeida match:













These two I took with my cell phone. The tall guy is fighter Corey Hill.
