Crafting Comics

April 11, 2011 Blog

I’m a nerd.  This should not come as any surprise (it’s in the damn sub-title of my blog), so when I profess my love of comic books no one will be wonder where that declaration came from.  I’ve loved comics for as long as I’ve been able to read.  Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, you [...]

December 25, 2009 Blog

December 16, 2009 Blog

What’s been going on during my blogging hiatus has been a lot of knowledge gathering, some ‘under the hood’ WordPress tweaking and a renewed determination to hit the ground running in the new year.  Having been away for so long, I realized I really love working on this blog.  I’ve seen slivers of its potential [...]
