BLACK ENTERPRISE Black Comics Roundtable

Greetings Dieselfunkateers! Imagine if a call was made to some of the most innovative creators around to discuss the state of BLACK COMICS.  ThIs was done today at Black Enterprise Magazine offices.  Under the careful guidance of Author, Samara Lynn, (with George Carmona running Shotgun) illustrious artisans such as Naseed Gifted (Khem Comic Fest, Dilettante J Bass (PB Soldier), Regine Sawyer (Lockett Down Productions), Joseph P Illidge (Lion Forge/Solarman), N Steven Harris (Solarman), Micheline Hess (Malice In Ovenland), Dewunmi Roye Okupe (Youneek Studios/ Malika Kickstarter), and myself, Tim Fielder (Matty’s Rocket /The Dieselfunk Show) laid waste to the myth that brothers and sisters don’t read and create comics.

WE DO!

THEN...

Derek Dingle (co-founder of MILESTONE MEDIA and Senior VP/Editor-In-Chief of Black Enterprise Magazine) beamed down to let us know that we are doing important work. (I promise you the light beam was not photoshopped:-)

Well Alright Then:-)

Look at the replay of the Black Enterprise Black Comics Roundtable Periscope. Most importantly, look out for the upcoming October issue of Black Enterprise Magazine IN PRINT and ONLINE.

The Dieselfunk Mississippi Delta Comicbook Workshop was a BLAST! GREETINGS DIESELFUNKATEERS!

The Cartoonists of the Young Lites program have delivered a blazing collection of comic stories ranging from the cerebral, colorful and dynamic.  So very very proud of these young ladies!  I was overwhelmed by the participation   (in very short notice) by Women Cartoonists who were willing to network with the students.  On the final day we had the Great Joyce Brabner (who gave moi his start in comics), hotshot Sha-Nee Williams, with an awesome video return chat by Diana Leto. I want to give a BIG THANKS to Young Lites Program Coordinator, Tarra Slack and to all of the industry pros who supported us on such short notice. They are:  Joyce Brabner, Sha-Nee Williams, Afua Richardson, Regine Sawyer, Barbara Brandon, Pamela Thomas (Museum Of Uncut Funk), Diana Leto, Micheline Hess and the Sister who started it all…Jackie Ormes.  

Dieselfunk Studios is Proud to have been a part of such a Historic Event.  Now on to the Next!

Matty’s Tours the Low-down Dirty South!  Greetings Dieselfunkateers!  Our work takes us below the Mason Dixon Line to the Mississippi Delta Comics Workshop.

The Dieselfunk Crew has now set out once again to further spread the Gospel of Matty’s Rocket.  After a quick flight to Atlanta, GA to pick up my Dad (and Running Buddy), we proceeded to Clarksdale, Mississippi. Day One featured our girl students to the art of creating comics as well as to innovators of the form (Day 1 was Jackie Ormes, Micheline Hess and Barbara Brandon.  Special Thanks to Ms Tarra Slack for setting up the event. Next up our group will get more deeply into art creation.  Afterwards, Dad and I drove around and saw areas we haven’t visited in decades.  No doubt a cosmic event because I am bringing Matty back to her literal Birthplace.   Up next; DAY 2
