Ever since I was a child, I hated marketing. Now I’m a grown-up and I still hate the most of the qualities of marketing. The reason I hate marketing is because it just feels wrong. Advertisers trying to sell me things that I don’t want–to use with something I don’t own–to buy with money I […]
Last night I sat utterly astounded as I watched our local city Children’s Choir perform. Their performance was in a old time theater complete with balcony, ambient lighting, curved architecture and golden wall motifs. The children sang in groups from 5 years old through high school.

So how are you going to overdeliver, overachieve, and go under deadline with your comics? What I like to do, is WOW! my clients and my creators at every step of the process. If you think everything is good, how can it be great? If you think your story is great, how can the artist exceed the writer’s expectations? […]
