For those not in the know ( and if ya Don't know now you know) in short I'm writing/drawing / eventually self-publishing my own comic. Eventually I might turn it into a whole graphic novel but I want to see how this first comic does. And the process on how to do it.
This project started last year in fall semester at DVC. I learned about a comic book contest given by the school through my English class. My comic was about My Uncle. There were around 100 entries. I was one of 12 winners. I won some art supplies and went to an award ceremony. It was hella cool to say the least. And while my artistic ability is lacking ( i hope to improve on this) they liked the story and the way it was written. 
The subject matter is serious and, at times, heartbreaking (it's not easy to write) but his story is one that people to relate to. Everyone, at some point, has seen someone they love in pain.
Because of the award and the encouragement ( both from the teachers who've read it and my famiy at home) I kept writing . Kept drawing.
Progress , with work & school, has been slow but now in summer I start what I feel is the last section (chapter?) before I attempt to self publish.
Formatting and self publishing is something I don't really know ANYTHING about so it might take some time.
I'm using a medium which I've loved my whole life, yet never thought I'd be creating something in. But more than that it simply feels good to be writing again.
When I do publish. I will let you know. Bring money. Haha.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for your support.
