Glad to be here!
« on: October 30, 2012, 12:47 AM »
Hello all!

I'm new to these boards and happened upon them as a suggestion from another writer I know. Am I glad they told me about this place because it's great!

A little about me:
I've been in the comic book/graphic novel industry around 5 years now with several publishing credits to my name with companies such as Arcana Studios, 215 Ink and Viper Comics (including providing illustrations on a children's picture book due out soon from the latter). I've always had a deep love for children's literature and recently have shifted focus away from comics a bit to work on a couple of picture book projects as well as a possible collection of poems and prose.

I'm very excited to have found this community and look forward to learning a LOT as I do have a lot to learn about this industry. Please feel free to have a look at my website which has a good sampling of my comics work as well as my more recent work geared toward the kiddies (of all ages of course!) on both the home page and the gallery. Thanks!

Thank you for the warm welcomes! I've only been on a couple of days and am already overwhelmed (in a great way) and amazed by all the great people and information here!

I'm very inspired and hopeful  :bananadance
