Hey guys, hope all is well! I originally posted this blog at www.truthfulcomics.com but thought it would be nice to repost it here, it is pages from the book of Danger after all! Thank you for reading this through if you decide to, and if it somehow helps inspire you, even better! Happy readings :)
Greetings, truthful readers! This is Alvaro (or Lance if you prefer) here with a blog update. This post will sort of be a series of blogs mixed in with other more regular blogs I'll be doing, but this one in particular is about my passion and philosophy for comics, that can also be applied for other areas in life as it may come. Formally known as "The Tao of Danger", just thought "The Book Of Danger" sounds a tad less cliche LOL Let's start this off with something I found the other day going through old files of paper in my room/studio. I found a print out of goals I had set up back when I was a freshman in college in 1997/98. It was actually from the first computer I ever owned (a NEC Windows 95 machine my father had sent me from New York when I told him I was going to mayor in computer programming). At this point, I was near the end of the original run of Warlord I made all throughout high school in notebooks, and decided that I was going to reinvent the story to try and actually publish it someday, so, inspired by the then new Ultimate Marvel reimagining of Spider-Man, I started writing like a man possessed the "Ultimate Warlord" kind of reimagining which is about 80% of how the final published material has been so far on the webcomic. In the middle of all that when I started thumbnailing out the first issue and designing the covers and inside back covers, I wrote a simple page of goals about how I wanted Prospecto Arts to be, with 4 key elements. Not knowing what a mission statement was back then, looking now, it was actually more of a mission statement concerning those for key elements: 1- Commitment, 2- Desire, 3- Quality, and 4- Heart. I'd like to somewhat update this mission statement.
That's pretty much the long and short of it. I'll finish this off with some sentences of the original print out: "Be prepared. This will be difficult at times. Stressful. Excruciating. Maybe even painful at times for you and everybody around you. But just remember in the end, when you're holding the very first issue of your very own comic right there in your own hands, in all it's paper and ink glory, *edit* or staring at your screen or mobile device, reading comments from people all over the world reading your webcomic */edit*, holding a piece of your dream materialized, you'll think the same thing I think: it was worth it." ~Truthfully yours, Alvaro "Lance Danger" Cortes Ortiz Jr After being derailed last year due to health problems, I am throwing my hat into the ring this year again. And this year I will slay this dragon! I want to at least have 6 issues of the reboot of TMW done by the end of this year.
Of course I will be working on the webcomics as well (and some special announcements along the way). I already finished up 3 webcomics between late last month and early this month, those being Never Mind chapter 5, Weepaman y Weepito chapter 2, and DTF6 chapter 1. Next on the webcomic fromt: 1- Wrap up The Cannon Girl season 2. 2- Wrap up The Mysterious Exorcist: Goodnight San Juan one shot. 3- Wrap up Alfred Gomez' Clown mini-series. 4- Of course, continue TMW. I'll make announcements about what's coming when, I am definitely determined to own 2015! Let's all own 2015 together =) -Alvaro |
