Today, I'm proud to announce the launch of my new monthly column on MakingComics.com, called Just Make Comics. (Read it to see what that simple title is all about.)
In the first installment, "Get the Project Started" I practice what I preach by doing two important things-- Doing some actual writing, and starting to look for an artist collaborator for the column.
Yes-- as announced in the column, I am looking for an artist partner for short comics and illustrations to complement the written portion of the column every month. Just to show how dedicated I am, I'm conducting the whole process before your eyes. If I fail, the second installment won't have any visual component, so I'll live or die by my own advice here.
I'll be writing advice on just making some damn comics, and I'd like to work with an artist to illustrate my points and show sample short comics. Some installments may even be purely in comics form. If you're interested in a regular monthly gig, never more than two pages a month (often less) hit me up with your portfolio and a clever comment.

Good Will Hunting Bench in Boston for Robin
A friend is organizing a fund to commemorate the Good Will Hunting bench in Boston Common in the name of Robin Williams, and you can chip in! (Or at least help spread the word!)

THE WITCHWOOD - Artist Wanted for graphic novel
I have been posting recently about having a number of comics projects ready for artists.
First up is "The Witchwood".
The entire script for a 128 page graphic novel is written, and I'm looking for an artist to work with me on it as a creator owned project. The concept here is that the forest itself is more our protagonist than the young hunter trying to claim it as his hunting ground.
The setting is in the Dark Ages (or earlier) in a mysterious forest, long forbidden, with standing stones and other mysteries under centuries of growth. The only human characters are a young hunter, a mysterious ghostly girl, and an old farmer. Aside from the
Comics Artists for Creator Owned
I've been gradually getting back into writing, after far too much time away. Creating makes me feel more alive.
Today, I turned my one-shot FAILSAFE into a series outline and pitch for a series.
From there, I read through my existing materials, and realized two things:
First, I have at least four series ready for me to script a first issue. (Not including many ideas that haven't been outlined yet.) On any given day, I can work on whichever one suits my mood, until an artists is available and then I can focus on having scripts ready for them.
Second, I have three series that are completely ready for an artist to begin work. Outlines, scrip
Graphic Novel - Artist Wanted
I've been doing some writing again lately, but I need to be actively creating and working on a project again. I don't suppose any of my artist friends would be interested in starting a creator-owned graphic novel?
The idea would be something like this:
Start by finding a collaborator (penciller, possibly also inking) and work together on choosing a story. Then we'd put together an outline, character designs, and promo image. Then I'd work through the full script of a graphic novel, and the artist would start working the pages.
Once the pitch-- full outline, first issue script, 5 pages fully complete-- was ready, we'd pitch it, but keep wor
