It encourages me to know that I can be an encouragement so far away from where I am.
From which region of Australia are you from?
I was in India with an Australian pastor from Tasmania
May the Lord bless you in this land of the sun
perhaps one day the Lord will lead me in your part of the world...

Hey have you contacted the Bible Society yet about work? If you haven't, and you are keen, you really should, because I have mentioned you twice to them now, plus sent a couple of your drawings to them, and they are interested. Thought you should know, bro'.

At 1:00am on July 20, 2009, Buzz Dixon said…: Hi, Marcus -- and thanx for the kind comments re SERENITY. I haven't checked the CCAS site in ages so my apologies for being so tardy in responding.

I did some self publishing sometime ago. Today, I do work for a publishing house that produces Bible stories in comics.

Remain blessed, brother.

I just try to draw as finished as possible (no putting little "x's" in for the inker. And then I just use the curve tool in photoshop to darken up the lines a little but not to 100% black. Then I just make the layer a multipy layer and paint underneath. The best style I can show you thats like this is Andy Kubert on his 1602 story. Do a google search for it you'll see what I mean bro :)

At 8:16pm on February 16, 2009, Adam Meyer said…: Thanks for the comment man! I'm looking foward to meeting up with other artists here. I have seen Final Fantasy. In fact I own it and have played the games from about FF7-FF10. I love the action. The japanese know how to do a good battle scene for sure.

At 10:48pm on February 13, 2009, Matt Baker said…: Thanks for that, but for some weird reason I couldn't open either of the links. Bummer.

At 4:00pm on February 13, 2009, Matt Baker said…: No worries, man. They'd be happy with hard copy, or a link to an online portfolio, or even attached files to an email, they are not fussy, as long as they see your stuff. When I first got a gig with them, I just attached my 5 best pieces at the time as pdf's to an email I sent them. It was definitely God who got me the job though, not anything I did. Love to see your 'Present Darkness' ideas; might show you my own. I've already posted one in my photo gallery.

I don't really do manga style these days. My style incorporates some manga influences, but it can't be called manga as it has influences from western comics as well :)

At 8:36pm on February 10, 2009, Matt Baker said…: Hey Marcus, I heard back from the NSW Bible Society, here's what they said: "If Marcus would like to send us a portfolio we can certainly keep him on our maybe list. Just occasionally we need more than one person working at a time and illustrators are quite difficult to come by. Just let him know that it is spasmodic work and we certainly wouldn't be promising him anything."
So definitely worth contacting them. Did you say you had already contacted the Victorian Bible Society? Might be worth trying them again too. Your stuff is really good, so I'm sure they'd use you if they can.
As for "This present Darkness", I reckon every christian comic artist and his dog has dreamed of that gig. I have wanted to do the Graphic Novel of that since I first read it when I was 14.

CCAS at Comic-Con

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011

In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.

Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
