A New Year and a New Look!
January 2, 2009
Well
it's a New Year and with it I have a new look for the blog. Hope you
all like it. Just to let you know I have been getting alot of jobs as
of late so I hope this keeps up through out the year. Also the Graphic
Novel I am putting together to help the fallen and wounded soldiers
from Iraq is still going to be produced. I had to push back the
publication date as I have not received the stories from the soldiers
as quickly as I had hoped for. I made some new inquiries today to
several charitable organizations that I hopw will be able to help me
obtain a few morew stories from soldiers. They being , The IAVA and the Wounded Warriors Project so we will see where that takes us. As everyone else does on New Years I have made a few New Year's resolutions so here they go
1) Work on my speed to get my pages out faster without loosing quality
2)Publish Untold Stories From Iraq
3)Spend more time with my lovely wife
4) Work towards being able to make a living doing what I love ! Comics baby Comics
5) Stop trying to quit smoking it never works!
6)Try to talk to my friends online a bit more
Well
there you have it folks my New Year resolutions. Anyway I would like to
say as well I hope everyone has a fantastic and successfull New Year.
Well that is all I have for now so see you in the funny papers!

This
is to all of my friends here. This past year has actually been a hard
one for me. I have had some medical issues and also some problems with
my step-son. And I have even thought about giving up my dream of being
a comic artist. Heck I even thought about giving up on my art
alltogether.I have fallen behind on work that had to be finished. And I
have promised to deliver on work which I have not been able to do
because of the time constraints of the work I do. I know that really is
no excuse to make a promise and not deliver on it . But honestly at the
time I thought I could do it. So to all of you that I have said I will
do work for you, it is coming! I am just really far behind. As of right
now I am not able to do any work for anyone other than what I already
have on my plate. It is not that I dont want to ,it is just I have to
be realistic with the time that I have to work on projects. Now on to
more positive matters! I want to Thank a few special people for their
friendship and the help and advice that I have recieved from them this
year. Nathan Thomas Milliner,Madman,Comibookinker1971, Jason Craig,
Brad Meltzer, Jimmy Palimotti , Problem Child, Nicola Ciceria, Mathew
Tow, The Batman, and also the rest of you that I havent named here.So
as we start to leave behind 2007 and look to 2008 I want to start the
New Year off by getting all those projects that I am behind on out to
you. And you know who you are. Now a few New year resolutions.
1) LOL Loose 25lbs
2) Find more time to spend with my wonderful wife Collette!
3) Improve on my artistic endeavours.
4) Make new friends
And
that is all I have ( Was going to put quit smoking but I have tried to
many times and never have!) So Here I come 2008 you better be ready for
The Hero Maker!

I have decided to do what I see a lot of my fellow artist on here do, I am opening myself up for commissions! But I am going to approach it from a different angle! I will pencil , ink or both any character your so desire on a 11x17 Blueline Pro comic page as a pin-up or 1 page sequential action scene. I will sign the art in gold or silver ink again your choice and here is the best part! You decide the price you pay for your original piece of art from me The Hero Maker! No strings attached. All I ask is that your be serious and be reasonable and realistic on the money! I mean if you ask me to do a sequintal page penciled and inked with alot of action,and you say your willing to pay $5.00 I will be insulted ! not just for me but for you having the balls to ask that! But if that is what you think it is worth then I will do it as I am a man of my word! So get to it and think of something you would like for yourself,a friend or family member. Remember Christmas is right around the corner! you can send your request to me here at cmerwin6@gmail.com just put commission in the subject line. And remember I will need a actual mailing address to send the work to so dont forget to inclose that plus a way to contact you. And one other note . Once the work is finished I will send you an email telling you that it is completed with a scan of the image. then once I receive the payment you have agreed to pay for the piece I will then mail it out to you! I have been burnt to many times to send the art before I get paid! I will only accept Money Orders. No Personal checks! Or credit cards. So if you think this is something you would like to do please contact me. Remember this is going to get busy fast so get your order in to me as quick as possible!!No one else will do this I can guarantee you that! Have a great Day!

by Jonah Weiland, Executive Producer
Posted: October 5, 2007 â?? More From This Author
"30 Days of Night" author Steve Niles revealed on his forum Thursday evening that he'll be joined by famed illustrator Kelly Jones on a brand new, 12-issue Batman series for DC Comics. CBR News has learned the name of the project is "Batman: Gotham After Midnight" and will likely be released sometime in 2008. The project is noteworthy for a number of reasons. This series marks the return to Batman by Kelly Jones for the first time since the late 1990s. Perhaps most celebrated for illustrating the preeminent Elseworlds story "Batman & Dracula: Red Rain" and its two sequels, Jones also enjoyed a long and memorable run with the "Batman" title from 1995 - 1998, approaching art on the series with a dark and moody style, often depicting Batman with incredibly long ears and an enormous, billowing cape, evoking an almost demonic look for the Dark Knight.
"Gotham After Midnight" will be the second go 'round with Batman for Steve Niles, whose "30 Days of Night" has been adapted for the screen and will be released in just a few weeks. Niles previously wrote the Batman character in the three-issue series "Batman: Gotham County Line" with art by Scott Hampton. The new 12-issue project reunites Niles and Jones, who've collaborated numerous times previously on the Niles creation Cal MacDonald, the hard-living, supernatural monster hunter.

Crimson Masque Comic Update!

To those that are familiar with Crimson Masque, it seems that the comic will not be going to print in 2008 as planned. At least not with me as the artist for the book! Anthony J. Alecia the writer and creator of Crimson Masque And Owner of Broken Door Publishing seemingly has given up on the book. I have tried numerous times to contact Anthony since the Broken Door Publishing comic con fell through for November. He has not returned my calls or answered my emails. So I can only assume that or contractual agreement is null and void. Since no monies exchanged hands in the contract I retain all rights to the Crimson Masque character concept design and look.I am really saddened by this turn of events. I considered Anthony a good friend not only a business partner. I truly hope that what-ever problems Anthony is struggling with that he is able to overcome them! And maybe sometime in the future we will resume Crimson Masque together.Until that time Crimson Masque is off the table for the Hero Maker!

Broken Door Publishings FIRST ANNUAL COMICON CONVENTION
NOVEMBER 2, 3, 4, 2007
To all guest, exhibitors and vendors interested in our 1st annual convention I first like to say thank you for your interest.
It has always been my dream to enter the publishing world in many forms and the most recent has been comic books and filmmaking. I have worked very hard in writing to create memorable scenes and dialogue along with fascinating storylines to help the normal, everyday person find a place to escape.
I know many of you have also had the same dream and of course have all succeeded in that dream by creating the work you all have done thus far. From the artist, to writer, colorist, inker all the way down to the very vendors that sell the books we create and we read.
I want to invite you all to our first convention to allow you to meet one another and display your work for everyone to see. I have always been a strong supporter of the independent hard worker because I am still one myself.
Please take into consideration the convention and having a chance to appear and help those that want the same dream to one day sit across from the same fans that got all of us started.
The Ramada Inn is charging a fee of $75.00 a day for rooms. Any exhibitors and vendors that reserve a table before Oct. 5th 2007 will receive a room price of $65.00 (prices may change).
Exhibitors and vendors tables will be 8ft long at a weekend price of: $150.00. An additional table can be purchased at: $50.00 and will be 6ft long. Tables can be reserved by filling out an application with your information and a check payable to: Broken Door Publishings. (Applications will be emailed or mailed upon request.) A $25.00 fee will be charged for any returned checks. All payments must be made by Oct. 5th 2007. Exhibitors and vendors can cancel their reservations before Oct. 5th 2007 for a full refund. Reservation cancels 2 weeks before the convention will receive half their payment back and any cancels after that will receive â??noâ?? payment back.
Exhibitors and vendors will receive 2 badges saying, â??VENDORâ?? or â??GUESTâ??. Additional badges will cost $10.00, this is to prepare the Broken Door Publishings Staff to make the appropriate room and space for the tables.
The convention times will be:
Friday: 3pm to 8pm.
Saturday: 11am to 8pm.
Sunday: 12pm to 5pm.
All exhibitors and vendors must be ready to set up their tables 2 hours before the first day November 2nd 2007 and check in with Broken Door Publishings staff for badges and information.
Advertisement space will also be available to be purchased in our PROGRAM, which will be distributed â??FREEâ?? at the convention. The program will be a full-color, comic style appearance book that will have convention information along with sponsor information.
Advertisement space can be purchased at the following prices:
Quarter Page: $125.00
Half Page: $175.00
Full Page: $250.00
For purchase or black and white pages cut the prices above by half price. Make all checks payable to: Broken Door Publishings.
To all guest invited to the convention, you must sign a letter of intent. This letter does not legally bind you to appear at the convention but allows us, Broken Door Publishings, the use of your name for advertisement and promotional use. The letter of intent is merely a safe way to be able to promote the list of guest and their intentions to appear at the convention.
For further information please contact me via email or phone (leave a message please) at:

Respectfully,
Anthony J Alicea
