Meanwhile, in another dimension....

I like creating pages in which I can explore visual story telling techniques. Fun little workout.

And, of course, the narrative is wide open....

Little Johnny, go stand in the corner. That is NOT an acceptable recitation.

Cowboy:

You know John,
There's a quite a large following of modern day comic book sci-fi dudes and dudettes out there. I have a buddy that is into it and it's pretty amazing. Great artwork and bizzare stories. You would be excellent, but it looks like long hours devoted to just that and you have many many other talents as well!

Mauser:

Valiant Spaceman Spiff! My how you've grown!

Iván Lorenzo:

Nice job.

I love the stuff you do and the way you do it.

Keep it that wey and thanks for being there.

Regards.

Iván Lorenzo.

Yo Menashe:

I'm with Mauser on this one. Spaceman Spiff was always my favorite hero.

John Cox:

Hey Cowboy
Thanks for the positive word.

A quick word about my approach to this kind of art:

I enjoy wandering down quite a few avenues of artistic expression; comic book art being one of my favorites. I really appreciate telling an entertaining story with a certain bravado and candor.

I believe there's an excellent sci-fi graphic novel in my future, yet certain practical matters make it difficult:

A story that can sustain my interest for a year; the time I'd probably take to produce a book.

The possible income is so intangible. I would prefer to start out with a secure amount of money that would abet my full concentration on the work.

A vibrant, committed collaboration is what I'd enjoy the most. That hasn't happened yet.

All that to say this website gives me the chance to meet and work with other like- minded souls who appreciate the relevance of thoughtful pop culture.

Cowboy:

John,
That's what I was alluding to. The huge risk of sticking both your feet in one bucket has to be daunting. Keep up the good work my friend.

Yo Menashe:

Ditto Cowboy!
