Greetings Dieselfunkateers! The Dispatch is BACK! We are presently on the perpetual Matty’s Rocket Book Tour in California. It never really ends folks. Of course the Dieselfunk Dispatch continues. This time giving our breakdown on what makes up the Comic industry. I mean, you got your run of the mill floppies from the big majors and indie varieties, your thick ol graphic novels, and your prestigious format thingies. It’s enough to make a mug question just what is the Comic Book Industry? For the artists it means one thing, but for the publisher it means something altogether. Add in the digital disruption with distribution it makes for quite a tale. The Dieselfunk Dispatch goes in relatively deep, but simple enough for the regular reader to get an idea of how it goes down.

In the meantime I’ll go back down into the dungeon to get to work…:-)

High John Conqueror Now On The Dieselfunk Show

HIGH JOHN CONQUEROR NOW ON THE DIESELFUNK SHOW

Greetings Dieselfunkateers, This will be a quick post. As stated before we are in constant reassessment of what needs to be done to make our initiatives work. We stated in our last journal entry that High John Conqueror would be folded into The Dieselfunk Show (TDFS). Why? from a perspective of BRANDING, VIEWS, CONTENT, and ATTENTION; the fact is, TDFS captures more mindshare than High John Conqueror. However, High John Conqueror provides added value for The Dieselfunk Show. So all of the experts we’ve consulted with have stated CONSOLIDATE.

But you know me. I then began to debate about whether or not it would be a gradual transition or just immediately begin airing High John from the next episode 8 on alternate days between TDFS. Our Decision: because High John is only a few episodes in we will start it over for all of TDFS subscribers who haven’t seen it. It’s gonna hurt but..

RIP THE BAND-AID OFF!

With that, Standby for High John Conqueror, NOW on The DIESELFUNK SHOW.

High John Conqueror Chp 1: Portalis Sanctorum

Greetings Dieselfunkateers! HAPPY JUNETEENTH DAY! You know, I choose Juneteenth for a reason. This Day represents the End of Slavery in the United States…and the liberation of Million of Souls to strive to reach the Stars. For me personally, High John Conqueror is an attempt to reach further by innovating in a new form while paying homage to what came before.

High John 1 Dixieland The Old West The Dirty

HIGH JOHN 1: Dixieland, The Old West & The Dirty Brush

Greetings Dieselfunkateers. As the Juneteenth launch date of HIGH JOHN CONQUEROR approaches we are feverishly working to get everything in place. Part of this process involves informing the public of the genesis of this project and what the intentions for the future will be.

Our first post is all about the Art. I fully concede my work will likely never be in the contemporary style or level of the crosshatching Image guys…sadly. Hey, we all want to be sexy. But I have to face facts; I yam what I yam. Thusly, I LOVE OLD COMICS. I love the pen and ink work of Harold Raymond, Frank Frazetta, Hal Foster and Burne Hogarth. Those cats had it down. So my every effort has been to seize control of my brush…albeit digital, and bring as much power and lushness to my work as possible…like those before me. But in my OWN WAY.
