Skottie Young Story Finally Published

So I've got an old friend, Skottie Young, who is an artist. As in "draws, inks, and colors for Marvel Comics" artist. Well, after working for about three months to get him on the phone, I finally did in...I think July or August 2006. I then spent the next week or so figuring out what the story should be, and then finally sent it to a paper in Bristol, TN/VA.

Well, they dug the story and wanted to run it. They just had to wait for the right time. After months of waiting, the time has finally come, and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. To be honest, I didn't know newspapers could do stuff like use blue font, but hey, more power to them. Glad to see such things are possible.

Anyway, I'm having an egomaniacal moment and wanted to share. Because of this encounter with my old friend, I've regained interest in the world of comics. For those out there who doubt the power of comics or think they're childish, etc., I challenge you to pick up one and read. Or just get one to look at the art. It's pretty amazing stuff.

Ah, crap. Just realized you can't read it now. Sorry about that. If interested in reading it, put a note here and I'll cut, paste, and rearrange it so you can. Otherwise, just enjoy the visual beauty of it all.

It took me a long time to realise that I can find the link to your blog by clicking on your name in your comments on mine...they tell me I catch on quickly. So I just read your entry about tatoos; bravo. Good insight. We need to embrace the art of ACTION, instead of ADVERTISEMENT, to show the work of Christ in your life. Thanks for stirring my mental fibers. Teach me more, sensei.
