Hey! Sooooo I've got a couple of comics brewing. I'm working on something with Zenescope right now, annnnd it's a TV tie-in. It's going to be an original graphic novel, and I wrote a good chunk of it. More details on that soon.

I'm also working on a creator owned series called BLOOD PONG. It's about two monsters who decide to single-handedly debunk the "vampires are so very sweet" myth. It's about AIDS and horror cliches and old school exploitation. It's about making fun of all of that shite while wholly embracing it.

I wrote and directed two short films based on the general idea of the series a couple of years ago, but I'm admittedly a way better writer than I am a director. A HD handheld does not a DP make. I love all of those films and the folks I worked on them with, but I think that Blood Pong can really thrive in four issues of twenty-two black and white pages. Once the first ten pages are done, Ian (the artist) and I are going to pitch this around... I'm thinking New York Comic-Con, if not before then. I can't wait to show you guys more.

Congratulations Pat! Those are interesting-sounding projects. That preview page looks good, though it's not my preferred art style.

Make sure you remember us when you've made it in the comic books industry Very Happy

Good luck with all of that, mate. I hope you find success. With the comics industry seeing a recent lull, perhaps you could be the pioneer who rejuvenates it. I can see it now: Batman penned by Patrick Shand! I swear, though, you ever write for that gay-wad Superman I will lose my mind!

Seriously, though, all the best with it. Wink

I'll be sure to keep an eye out.

Thanks guys! I just got another gig on a long-running comic book. I can't say much, but it should be fun. Solicits should be out by October.
