Writing comics

Most people who know me are aware that I'm a writer. I'll write anything... I freelance for the local newspaper and am always jotting down something. My passion as a writer lies firmly in writing comics.

I've self published a comic, Jedidiah Starr #1, that I co-created with artist Louie Hernandez. It's a labor of love, as we both have worked hard producing a very old-school superhero comic that harkens back to books we read as children. Nothing ground breaking, but very fun for us. We've decided to continue our work on and publish Jedidiah Starr #2 as an ongoing webcomic, two pages released every Monday on our publishing website www.ViewComics.com. I'm very excited as we dive back into the world of our fallen space hero.

I also write an ongoing short series for Pronto Comics (www.ProntoComics.com) titled Nerdtastic. I produce these shorts with artist L.Jay Patterson. These are fun bits in which I draw from many of my personal experiences and observations in the world of geekdom. It's very tongue-in-cheek and often used to poke fun at myself and my past, all in the name of good humor.

I have other projects is various stages, and am always looking for new genres to write in an attempt to continually grow and expand as a writer.

I'd love to hear from fellow writers... what are you working on? Give me a comment, or drop me an email at dave@indianageek.com.
