 So this past Saturday, September 5th of 2020 artists all over the United States celebrated the 12 Hour Comics Day Online Challenge, even if it had to be by ourselves this year due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. We had artists from Virginia, South Carolina and all the way to Florida! Now this year the challenge was altered a bit since we couldn't meet in person with our peers, I thought we might as well change the format to make it more inclusive for as any people as possible. The basic premise stayed the same, finish a short story in 12 hours or less, but we decided on allowing creators to work on their own projects for 12 hours straight and see how much they could get done in that period of uninterrupted time. The talented Troy Dongarra finished a 5-page story while another talented artist John Powers finished a 7-page story in 12 hours. Cory Bland worked on a story but didn't finish and me; I decided to work on my creator owned book and only managed to fully ink 2 pages in the span of 12 hours. I felt like I didn't get a lot done but guess what, this is supposed to be a personal challenge, this is supposed to be a fun challenge and I had a lot of fun! I can't wait to take on this challenge again and hopefully next time we can doit in person, alongside one another cheering each other on as we push ourselves to the limit. Let me know if you participated in this year's 12hour comics day or if you've participated in a previous 12 Hour Comics Day challenge. Did you finish the challenge? Did you fall short? Did you end up printing the comic you made? I'd love to hear about your experience. Until next time stay safe and as always... keep it Truthful! -MC

 As you may have seen or read from my social media outlets, this Saturday I'll be participating in this year's 12 Hour Comics Day; the first ever online challenge for this event! I'm quite excited about the opportunity to not only have an entire day of creating art but also to share and see what other creators come up with! This year I decided to change my approach a bit, instead of creating a brand new 12 page short story; I decided to dedicate the 12 hours to inking the third issue of my comic book series Project: New Wave. My personal goal is to finish inking the rest of the book, but if I can't; I'll just do as much as I possibly can. An important part of any art challenge are the tools of the trade, the art supplies we love so much; and this challenge is no exception. But here's the thing, you can use ANY ART SUPPLIES YOU WANT; there's not restrictions when it comes to doing this challenge. You can use colored pencils, watercolors, acrylic paints, Copic markers, Sharpies, India ink... use any art supplies you're comfortable with. another way to go about taking on this challenge and making it even more challenging is to use art supplies you're not comfortable with, maybe you want to get better at brush inking or painting with watercolors; this is the perfect time to do just that!  For this year's challenge I'm going to be using a different set of tools though. Last year I went traditional with my art supplies: 8" x 11" paper, mechanical pencil, Steadtler eraser, Sharpie markers, Micron Pigma markers, Webster's India ink, brushes and Fabercastle PITT artist pens; this year my art tools will be my Mac computer and my XPPen 22e Artists Pro tablet. Other than my tools, the only thing I'll need are a list of great podcasts to listen to. I already have a list and I'm going to be share them with you so that way, not only will I be listening to some great ear candy; all of you can listen as well.

What tools are you going to be using for this year's 12 Hour Comics Challenge? Are there other podcasts you listen to besides the ones I mentioned? Do you listen to any of the podcasts I listen to? Are you coming up with a brand new 12 page story from scratch? Are you using the 12 hours to work on a project you're trying to catch up with? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to read your answers and I hope you join me this Saturday for the 12 Hour Comics Day Online Challenge!
Stay safe and as always... keep it Truthful!

So... 2020 uh? I think it's safe to say this has been one hell of a year in all the wrong ways. Global Pandemic, thousands of deaths, racism, division, Donald Trump, Kobe's death and now... the king is dead. I've been sitting here since last night trying to find the words to express my hurt over Chadwick Boseman's death but even though this hurts me, and trust me it does; I can't even imagine what it must feel for Black fans around the World.
How do you, as a parent; tell your kid that Black Panther is dead. I don't even know how to tell my boys and we're not even Black! My middle child's favorite superheroes are The Flash and Black Panther, freaks out every time he sees him on screen or on a poster or wherever; he just loves Black Panther. With that said, he doesn't look like T'Challa, he has countless others superheroes he can look at and they'll look like him; for Black kids the number of leading superheroes is quite slim. Even though they may have War Machine or Falcon, we know they're not on Captain America, Iron Man or Thor's level of popularity and mass acclaim; but Black Panther definitely was!
Bringing T'Challa to life in a way that was respectful to Jack Kirby's vision for the character and also represented Black people and stood on par with his Marvel counterparts was a monumental task and Chadwick absolutely rose to the occasion, but not only that; he made the entire World believe him to be King T'Challa! He felt regal, he conducted himself with grace and humility even though we all saw him as the king of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Other actors saw him as such, it didn't seem forced or fake and as cliché as this may sound; he was born to play T'Challa. Black Panther was more than a movie, it became a cultural phenomenon like something I've never seen before; it was truly beautiful to experience. Seeing kids, of all races; embrace the character the way they have... it's truly a magical thing. But most importantly, Black kids now had a bonafide superhero to look up to, someone that would inspire them in the way Captain America inspire White kids or Wonder Woman inspire little girls; they could see a superhero on the big screen that looked like them and wasn't a typical Black stereotype. But the king is dead.
Now we must go through the process of mourning, grieving and eventually pick ourselves up. It won't be easy, this isn't just a random actor or a second tier hero... this is Chadwick Boseman bringing the Black Panther to life and he cannot be replaced. Marvel will eventually move on to another actor to take on the mantle of the Black Panther, more than likely they'll have Shuri be the heir of the Black Panther mantle; but T'Challa is simply irreplaceable. That statement cannot be understated, Chadwick Boseman's performance as T'Challa will never be topped; period.
To the parents that may be reading this I ask one favor from you, when your kids find out (and they will) about Black Panther's passing, please explain to them his importance to the World. If they're NOT Black, please explain to them that their Black friends might be going through a hard time at the moment because losing Black Panther is more than just losing a superhero; they're losing THEIR superhero! Tell them to be kind to their friends, especially now. If your kids ARE Black, please let them grieve, let them cry, let them be angry, let them yell and express themselves as if they've lost a family member because in some strange way; the loss of Black Panther will be just as big in their lives as losing a close relative. I know we teach our boys to be strong and not cry over silly things but I beg of you, let them cry over this if they feel like it, even if you feel it's a silly thing; it is not!
This is a monumental loss for a lot of people, actors, creators, fans, family and friends. We'll always remember where we were on August 28th, 2020 as we found out that Chadwick Boseman had passed away after losing his battle with Cancer. This pain, this anger, this sorrow will remain forever. So young and so talented. Life is cruel and unfair sometimes, but we must persevere; let's honor him and be a light in this World that seems to be drowning in darkness. The king is dead. Long Live The King! WAKANDA FOREVER!!!

On Wednesday, August 25th of 2020 I'll be part of an online art exhibit highlighting the contributions of Puerto Ricans in the world of comic books. The presentation aims to make known to the academic community of the University of Puerto Rico, and the community in general, the production of Puerto Ricans in the world of comics. The presentation will cover how the virtual exhibition was conceived, organized and presented. In addition, the presentation will take a real-time tour of the two platforms where the comics are exhibited. But I'll let the organizer himself explain the event...
This exhibition was originally conceived as one of the activities of the Third Comics Fair of the Library System (March 24-26, 2020). Before the closure of the University of Puerto Rico. Due to the closure of the University of Puerto Rico for Coronavirus quarantine, I decided to do the exhibition virtual.
The purpose is to unveil Puerto Rican comic book contributions, both in Puerto Rico and in the United States. In addition, creative works by non-Puerto Rican writers or artists who were inspired by Puerto Rican characters, events or venues have been included in the exhibit. Comic books featuring Puerto Rican characters have also been included, such as: Miles Morales / Spider-Man (Bendis and Pichelli), Leticia Lebrón / LAK6 (Miranda Rodriguez) and Julia / Caliente (Kaufman), among others. Each comic has a brief description, with an emphasis on thematic diversity and the narrative and artistic elements are some of the components present in this exhibition.
In addition, the exhibition features comic book genres such as superheroes (Doctor Tomorrow, Wildfly), fantasy (War of Eden), detective (Lowie Mortem), history (1898, Tai & The Caribbean), politics (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), All Ages books (Captain Meow) as well as social commentary (Luna Ricans and Pepito). We're quite a unique exhibition, dedicated to local Puerto Rican talent as well as diáspora talent such as: José Vázquez, Pedro M. Cortes, Eliana Falcón, Manuel A. Carmona, Tommy Villarreal, Juan Lapaix, Rafael Serra, David Martinez, Armando Mendoza, Alvaro Cortez Ortiz, Jason Ayala, Marín Gaudier, Ricardo Alvarez, Angel Fuentes, Gabby Rivera, Miguel Sanjurjo, Alejandro Arbona, Edgardo Miranda, Carla Rodriguez, Rosá Colón, Will Cabrera, Enoch Perez, Kenneth Rocafort and George Perez, among so many other artists. My admiration and respect as tribute.
NOTE: This exhibition does not include every comic book produced in or about Puerto Rico or by Puerto Rican creators. However, if you'd like to donate or sell any book that isn't currently in our catalog; you can get in touch with me directly and we'll add the book to the collection.
**Comics were not digitized by Copyright Compliance.

Needless to say, it's a great honor for me to be amongst the talented creators being highlighted in this exhibit. If you'd to be a part of this event you can do so via Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/cpe-ajni-eoy and remember...
THE ART EXHIBIT IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!
THE ART EXHIBIT IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!
As you all know pretty much every geek related event has been cancelled because of the Cover-19 Pandemic, it's because of this that event organizers as well as publishers have decided to use alternative routes to push the medium out of the darkness of this deadly virus that's taken over the entire World; much like the superheroes we read about and watch on film and television. One such event is the 12 Hour Comics Day Challenge, a Worldwide art challenge try to illustrate an entire short story from beginning to end in 12 hours or less; that means 12 pages written, pencilled, inked; coloring is optional.
Normally the event consists of two or more creators gathering at a specific location and creating a 12 comic book from scratch, the problem is that we're living under the shroud of a Global Pandemic so the format had to change a bit. This year the challenge will be online with live streams, hourly updates, videos, pics, podcasters, artists and fans from around the World joining forces through the magic of art and comic books to create 12 pages in 12 hours! I also thought of another way us indie creators can use the 12 Hour Comics Day Challenge to our advantage; now hear me out. What if we took used the 12 consecutive hours we have to dedicate to the challenge to work on our books instead? How much could we benefit from 12 straight hours of non-stop work on our books? We could either write, pencil, ink, color pages OR we could do 12 pages from pencils to coloring on a brand new story; it's up to the us the creators to use this challenge to our benefit and have fun with it!
Anyone can join in the fun, all you need to do is draw to the best of your abilities and have fun with it; just make sure you tag everything with these hashtags: #12hourcomicsday #12hourcomicsday2020 #12hourcomicsdayonline #12hrcomicsday #12hourcomicday #12hrcomicday #12hourcomicday2020 so it's easier for everyone to find them.

Ok, I'm trying to stay more active with this blog especially now that things are slowly starting to go back to normal... at least when it comes to my art schedule. As you might already know Project: New Wave #1 is now available for purchase on IndyPlanet.com and Project: New Wave #2 comes out very soon! But there's a lot more happening in the art world, especially in the online art community.

24 Hour Comic Day is the challenge of completing a 24-page comic book written, drawn, and completed in 24 hours.

It's been a minute since we've written anything, mostly because this Pandemic has kicked our tails but we have great news to share with all of you; we finally have our line of comics available for print-on-demand or digital purchase through INDYPLANET.COM!!! We've been trying to figure out a way to get our comics to your hands in the best way possible and we believe IndyPlanet will allow us to do just that! You can purchase our books in physical or digital format by visiting: www.indyplanet.com/truthful-comics
So... a while back I reached out to a bunch of colleagues to discuss the possibility of working together on a brand new project as a collective. This is the first time in the 13+ years I've been living in Virginia that I've actually gone out of my way to collaborate with local artists. Now you may be asking yourself why now? Why after 13+ years is he finally reaching out to other comic book creators in the are? Well, I did this for a variety of reasons:
1. I (like many comic book artists) tend to keep to myself and I'm trying to change that. Being a comic book artist is a lonely endeavor, you spend hours upon hours working on your books, you tend to become a hermit; especially if you do most of the work yourself. But in order to build community you need to socialize, create a network for yourself; at least that's what I'm hoping for.
2. I've been meaning to work on a project with brand new characters and add it to the Public Domain. I know for a fact that thousands of artists would love to work on a project and be allowed to use Batman, Superman or Spider-Man but obviously can't. I also know there's thousands of characters in the Public Domain that can be used by anyone, although there's no way to know for certain which characters you can use on your own projects and how; even though they're in the Public Domain.
So I thought to myself, why not come up with a new legend, a new story and new characters and allow anyone to use them? I reached out to my colleagues and to my surprise a few of them really liked the idea... so we went to work. We came up with a main character, a main villain, supporting cast and a fun concept that will allow for any artist to jump in at any time and not be jarring. I can't give you all the details at this moment but as soon as we have something more concrete we'll let you know, just know that we already started drawing pages, so this is coming sooner rather than later.
3. Why add it to the Public Domain? Simple, I want these characters to live on forever, I want people years from now to be able to use our characters and come up with their own adventures; I want these characters to live on through the minds of generations to come. I love the idea of creating these brand new characters whose stories will be written for years to come. Maybe they'll be set in a parallel universe, maybe on a different planet; but all part of the same legend. And lastly, it isn't all about money for me. If it comes great, but money doesn't drive me; creating a legacy that will live on through the ages does. I'm sure my colleagues feel the same way I do.

As you may or may not know I had already released a cover for issue #2 of Project: New Wave but upon further review I realized that, although cools heck; the cover didn't fit theinteriror art so... we decided to use said cover for another issue and create a new cover for issue #2. The issue will be a very personal story regarding Jason's past and why he acts the way he does, so I came up with the three main characters this issue focuses on: Jason, Ran and Commander Maldonado.
With that said, I illustrated the cover as best I could but when Francisco rivera sent me the finished version it exceeded all my expectations! But don't take my word for it, judge for yourselves and let us know what yo think in the comments. Project: New Wave will be released in August, if I'm ever able me to publish it online through Indy Planet that is! Either way we'll figure it out and bring you the goodness. For now... enjoy!
As always... keep it Truthful!

Como pueden saber o no, ya había publicado una portada para el ejemplar número 2 de Project: New Wave, pero después de una revisión adicional me di cuenta de que, aunque es genial; la portada no se ajustaba al arte del interior así que decidimos usar dicha portada para otro número y crear una nueva portada para el número 2. El tema será una historia muy personal sobre el pasado de Jason y por qué actúa de la manera que lo hace, así que me base en los tres personajes principales en los que se centra el comic: Jason, Ran y el Comandante Maldonado.
Dicho esto, ilustré la portada lo mejor que pude pero cuando Francisco Rivera me envió la versión final, ¡superó todas mis expectativas! Pero juzguen ustedes mismos y háganos saber lo que piensan en los comentarios. Proyect: New Wave se lanzará en Agosto, si al fin puedo publicarlo online a través de Indy Planet. De cualquier manera lo resolveremos y les traeremos el comic. Por ahora... que lo disfruten!
Como siempre... ¡mantenlo Truthful!

On Sunday June 7th The Hampton Roads City Collective (HRCC) hosted a peaceful Prayer March in downtown Norfolk to celebrate the diverse expression of God’s image in humanity that affirms the dignity, value and worth of every person. They called on faith communities in Hampton Roads to stand united, seek justice, and love mercy; and thousands answered the call!
The Desired Outcomes were:
Repentance:
Turning our hearts away from racism, inequality, and silence to focus on God as the source of reconciliation
Relationships:
Encouraging all to develop deeper relationships and love for each other
Reform:
Seeking cultural change through policies and practices that continue to build a more just community
It was a wonderful experience and hopefully it won't be the last time an event like that happens. Me and my family joined the march, interacted with people we hand't met before and even exchange numbers with a family that loved our spirit and wanted to get to know us more. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Which events have you attended in support of unity, against police brutality and in favor of change? Let us know in the comments.
As always... Keep it Truthful!
