Hello everyone.
I am really looking to find my way into the fastlane. I am a slow lane at the moment. I always liked to draw, mostly comics. As a Kid I enjoyed a lot Disney comics, Donald Duck, Goofy, Mickey… all of them and then little by little I began to get more interested in super hero stuff, like Batman, Superman, Spiderman… etc… and then I discovered European comics and underground comics done in USA like Crumb, Richard Corben, and from Europe Moebius, Enki Bilal, Tanino Liberatore and more…
So, I always wanted to become an artist. But, because of fear I think, I just took the “secure” path and I studied graphic design. So, I was mainly working for printing offices or working freelance from home. But the situation was getting worse, I was living in my native country (Uruguay). It’s a small country, there’s not too much opportunities there, so my wife and me had an opportunity to come the America and so we did. We are living both in New Jersey and I am working in New York in a Printing Office.
So I decided to become my own boss. And I created a website mostly dedicated to graphic design, I even came up with a name “moWse Design” and I began to do some graphic design work. I did some logos for a local hair stylist, I did some postcards for a Zumba business, a website for a restaurant… stuff like that.
But I wanted to move a little bit more to my creative side, to my illustration and comic art. So this year I decided to go comic all the way. Not sure if this is fastlane, but it is really my passion.
And I am always thinking in “The Walking Dead's” who jumped from an indy comic at Image Comic to a TV series, or Mike Mignola, who also did the same thing with Hellboy, now is a great Franchise.
But I really not looking for any result, I just want to do what I love the best I can, and if something big happens, I will welcome it. But I am changing my mindset, so I can learn from my failures without being disappointed. If I don’t expect anything from what I am doing, I won’t be disappointed if I fail, I will just continue working and trying to be better every time.
My idea is to do a webcomic, so I can build a following there. I also have a Patreon Page. So, I will be posting my process on Patreon, and for those who patronage me I will post some of my sketches, drafts and designs that I do to create my webcomic. So, it will be a little bit like “behind the scenes” of my webcomic.
If I get enough interest, my idea is to print the comic. And to promote it on Comic Conventions. That would be a good way to get new readers and also I will give a comic to editors who can be interested in my art to work on some of their comics.
Right now, this is my page for my graphic design business

And this is the website I will create for my comics (is still under construction)

Let me know what you think…
Thanks!
