HAPPY BLOODY HOLIDAYS!

Happy Holidays!

Thank you everyone who read and supported my work in 2010 with LILY OF THE VALLEY. I really appreciated it. Unfortunately as you've probably noticed, Zudacomics.com no longer exists and I'm unable to continue the comic as DC Comics still holds the distribution rights to the work. Unfortunately, I also do not believe they will be distributing it as they've told me several times it would be available as a digital comic through comixology but the dates they have given me have come and gone and it remains unavailable.

I however, still finished my side of the contract in October, completing all 60 pages of the first intended volume. So it has been two months since I finished working on LILY OF THE VALLEY, a project that was very close and personal to me. Since things ended how they did, I've found it challenging to build up energy and motivation to invest into a new project. I've started a few but haven't settled on anything yet.
Anyway, my New Year's resolution is to start on something right away and build an independent webcomic which can't be taken away from me by big company decisions, etc. It'll be independent and I'll fight to rebuild some of the massive fanbase and following which LILY OF THE VALLEY had developed over the past year.

On the brighter side of things, LILY OF THE VALLEY has just been ranked by MTV.COM as #7 on their list of the top ten webcomics of 2010! Accompanying me on the list is Cameron Stewart's Eisner award winning Sin Titulo, the legendary Warren Ellis' Freak Angels, as well as a few of peers from Zudacomics.com!

You can read the entire list right here!

If you would like to keep up to date on other things I'm doing, you can follow me in the following places:  FACEBOOK , TWITTER , and DEVIANTART.

Thanks again everyone for your kindness and support and mainly for enjoying my work throughout 2010! I'll have more to share in 2011, I promise.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
