Last update was April I believe and a lot has happened since then. I have acquired a colorist (Hector Cornejo) for my project and locked him in. That's Hollywood talk meaning we signed a contract for colors on the entire project. That also means I've forked over cold hard cash for these services as well. Some may see this as a bad thing but I see it another way. It's proof that I'm moving forward and that is truly a good thing. More later.

Bruno Clutch...page 3

Page 1-4 of Bruno Clutch ...Artist: Mary Lopez
Bruno Clutch is my way of paying homage to the wrestling world of old. As a child my Brother and I were taken to the Olympic Auditorium to see the wrestling matches on a weekly basis. My Grandfather was an avid fan and I think he used us to have an excuse to go to the matches.
 We saw all the greats and met them as well. I met the announcer Jimmy Lennon Sr. one night who in turn introduced us to his Son Jimmy Lennon Jr., both major class acts and just the nicest people you could ever want to meet. I met "Judo" Gene Lebell who just happens to be the Father of grappling and my facebook friend! Andre the giant always had nice things to say and after awhile started recognizing us because we were there so much.
My fondest memory had to be the final match Mil Mascaras had a the Olympic. It was the first time I witnessed a Genius in the ring. It was also the first time I saw a man fly. His moves were so graceful ,so athletic and most of those moves are patented Mil Mascaras moves. It is because of these men and Mexican wrestling in general that we have the billion dollar wrestling industry that we know and love today. This Comic is dedicated to Them. The comic is especially dedicated to Mil Mascaras but most of all "Juanito" my Grandfather who started it all.

 I guess it would seem a bit unprofessional to gush over this but here I go anyway. When this story was first realized(10 years ago) I was full of optimism. I figured it would write itself and Artists would fall at my feet to work with me. I was sorely mistaken. I have written myself in to countless corners, redesigned the story at least ten times and lets just say I've had my share of Artist rejections. This has been for lack of a better term...Difficult. So what we are seeing here is just short of amazing for me. The things I'm learning from this first attempt are mind blowing. From character development to page layout there is so much to consider. I actually scouted out an entire city via the internet in order to give the book more realism. I wanted to place landmarks in the background for familiarity to the reader only to decide that the world with in the boarders of the page are fine. I'm really blessed to have Mary working with me. She has great vision when reading the script and that makes all the difference.

Mary Lopez: Artist...

                                        

Mary lives in Barcelona Spain. She's studied at the "Painters and Decorators Institute" were she learned a number of art skills such as wood and marble imitation, gilding, perspective etc.. She started in Comics at the early age of fifteen with "La Baska" a joint effort with other artists from Santa Coloma. She also helped edit the fan zines "Komekaze" and "The killer ink company" which had more political overtones. She's self taught in the design software category but as you can see from her work she combines the two beautifully. Lately she's been working as a graphic designer and illustrator and is currently working on a children's book. Subliminal Press is lucky to have her aboard indeed.

The adventure begins...

This will be updated when ever there is a new development in the comic book or if something in the industry catches our eye. Lately I've been writing, designing layout, font searching etc... Basically trying out different approaches to our comic book. I'm learning that there are a lot of books that follow the same format. The books that are "outside the box" tend to be more enjoyable over all. Aesthetically speaking I feel its much more pleasing to read so we're trying out some way out approaches. I will elaborate later.

Sunny aka Silent Storm

  So, one of the characters came across my desk this morning. Sunny (a.k.a. Silent storm)  a female with telekinetic powers. She has strong Goth tendencies dresses very dark and has an overall dark personality...kinda like my Daughter, who's no doubt going to kill me when she reads this.I can't tell you what a great feeling it is to meet Artists who share in your vision and give their time to create for you. Sunny is being drawn by Artist Mary Lopez. I'll give a more in depth profile later...Thanks again Mary!
