Updates!!!

It has been months since my last entry and I have tons of things to
say, nor do I know where to begin first.

Let me start by apologizing and saying thank you all for your support
with my art and DanMan & BertoBoy! The fan base is still geowing
little by little and am really happy and grateful!!!

I have a few announcements for the DMBB fans.
I'll be ending this second season of DMBB with the Return Jokah Saga
which at first premiered in late August with the first part episode...
Sinces it's been about 2 months with no continuation, I decided to
rerelease the full saga all at once in November 2010.

It will be not only rereleased but everything will be hand drawn and illustrated by yours truly. Reason for this is that I've been thinking things over and haven't had the time to sit down and work on the computer... I'm not connecting to the digital medium as much as I use to and feel that I need to take a break and not force myself to produce a horrible project. So I've been painting and drawing again n felt maybe I should do something fresh for DMBB... Which leads to the next announcement.

After DMBB's season finale, I've decided to pass on the torch for awhile to my partner in crime, DanMan himself, Danny Lora. We decided to bring back an old school DMBB element which was the single image narrative which was something I did for season 1. He has been producing amazing fan art and stories that I felt I needed him to take over for awhile. But do not worry, I will still be running DMBB, just with extra help from my good friend DanMan. He will be premiering special holiday eps starting end of November so be sure to check it out once you've been informed :).

3rd, while Danny will be producing the new episodes of DMBB, I'll be working on other DMBB projects and one main project is the first ever Graphic Novel for the series. FINALLY! It will happen.

That's all for now so stay tune for RETURN OF JOKAH... Promos will be up soon!
