If you show up in costume you get in free!!!!! (workshop is extra)

Holy Comic Books Batman!

So hey, I love drawing, who would have thought it? Not me for sure but this writing and drawing gig is really taking my imagination to a new level. I have the fever and I am running with it. I've finished five comics and have six more penciled waiting for the ink and many others in the developement stage. I really have learned a lot doing all of this and I think it will prove to be a good fun thing for this year of productions. Once the equipment comes in I'll start with animation so the world may enjoy my twisted sense of humor. Love to all. I'll post some of the books up sometime when I get a chance to find my scanner.

My First Comic Book!!!!!!



At the 24 hour comic event I made a stick comic about my favorite game, The Kingdom of Loathing. I liked making comics so much that I kept it going with some strips and an epilogue to the first issue. The second comic is due out here in a week or so. But the first has sold out twice. I sold out at the Expo and I made another printing and sold the last one two days ago. I love drawing these guys and people seem to like reading them, so WOOT! for everybody. If you would like to purchase a comic email me and I'll send one to you for $1.50. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.

The Lubbock Comic Expo

On May 3rd The Sketch Club made history here in the South Plains. Lubbock held our very first pure comic expo! Set at the Science Spectrum and coordinated by some very talented folks, the Expo was an outstanding hit! 777 people joined in the fun, not to mention all of our panel guests, volunteers and other sponsors that gave their weekends to make this happen. We all worked so hard and I am so proud of the Sketch Club for making this happen. I did my fair share toward the end but the credit falls on Will Terrell and Robert Mora of Star Comics.This was their brainchild and what a success! I'm proud to call you friends!

Z History

Z in the Middle began in 1999 as a small theater group. In 2004 our first film script was complete. By 2006, shooting began on one of many short films. Last year we worked on films, conventions, comics and classes. 2011 is dedicated to creating many new comic titles, independent films and growing the company.
