This is a legit question, right? And I decided to answer it my way! As promised, I’m going to create those little videos about the Comic Book Industry (this is what a Comic Book Think Tank is for, right?). Truth is, I’ve been wanting to share my views on the industry and my experience asContinue reading “WHAT’S THE RIGHT AGE TO PUBLISH YOUR FIRST COMIC BOOK?”

COMICS ARE LIFE: UNBOXING UNUSUAL MARVEL COMIC BOOKS
The new Video series from Fabrice Sapolsky. In this episode, he unboxes a very special package with a kind of Marvel Sketch Variant covers he’s never seen before.

Hey, I’m on a podcast today! This time with my friend Oracle Jayne Doe who’s also running the TRAP Bootcamp initiative. We sat down and talked about Social Justice, Superheroes and our upcoming project together: Born a Bada$$! We recorded this podcast last Saturday as sirens and helicopters were flying like crazy over L.A. AndContinue reading “NEW PODCAST!”

INVENTORY CONTROL: MAY EDITION
Today is May 6th, 2020. And I want to try to see if I can share a bit more of my creation process while also tracking my own productivity. There’s something really liberating about sharing your stuff with the world. And somewhat modern (or at least to me).
So without further due, here are the metrics for the past 2 weeks (April 22-May 6th)…

This past weekend, Fabrice Sapolsky was a guest at ALT_FCD, the e-convention that replaced Free Comic Book Day. Watch it now.
A TOOL FOR WRITERS
Writing is hard. And whoever told you otherwise is a liar. I often praise Dave Hine for being a wonderful mentor. He certainly was to me. When we started working on Spider-Man Noir together, I certainly knew how to write articles, essays and more, but comic book scripts? Not really. After teaming up with Dave,Continue reading “A TOOL FOR WRITERS”

CREATING A NEW HERO
It all started with a post on Facebook. On April 8th, 2020, one of my FB Friends, Eric Francisco, posted a message saying he was interested in hiring an artist for concept work. I immediately answered “Me!”. Then Eric and I started talking via Messenger and a few weeks later, I made him look likeContinue reading “CREATING A NEW HERO”
COMMISSION WEEKEND IS COMING!
This weekend, APRIL 18-19th, 2020, I’m attending a very special event: a STAY HOME ARTIST ALLEY! In these very pandemic times, and without conventions to bring us revenue, most creators are left with very few options. Thankfully, there are people out there with the drive and energy to put together events like these. Kudos toContinue reading “COMMISSION WEEKEND IS COMING!”
