Anyone Wanna Help Create A Comic Book?

Hendrsb33 · 02-25-2010, 03:35 AM

Hello All,

My name is Shepherd Hendrix and I've just joined the Project Avalon forum. I work primarily as a graphic novelist (a fancy moniker for comic book artist). I've recently discovered Project Camelot, seen all the videos, and I'm really down with what Kerry and Bill have created. I feel as if I have something to contribute.

On one of the Project Camelot videos, someone asked, "What can I do? How can I contribute?" My feeling is that we all have talents of some kind that we can use to communicate, to teach, to learn, and do whatever needs to get done. My talent is communication through graphic narrative. I would like to create a graphic novel that addresses the crises that plague our world. I'm not talking about some testosterone-splashed work of violence and destruction. Such material, sadly, is what my chosen industry sees fit to peddle. I'd like to offer something different. I'd like to create a lasting work that informs, offers solutions, entertains, and gives hope to those who read it.

Why a glorified comic book? Well, there are a number of ways we can address our global concerns. Movies, books, public discourse, etc. Comics are my way of communicating and it's something I'm more than happy to contribute my time and efforts to. I'd like to create something that helps the world instead of hindering it.

As for plans, I don't have anything as of yet; I'm just testing the waters before making any moves. I want to be sure I have something to work with first. Specifically, I'm looking for a person (or two) with decent writing skills to collaborate on building a workable plot. I can do the art, lettering and production. I have some writing and plotting skills but I don't have deep knowledge of ufology, conspiracy, theoretical physics and am willing to defer judgment on such matters as long as it facilitates the visual storytelling process. The goal of the book would be to compel and inspire the mainstream rather than preach to the choir.

So... anyone wanna step up? You gotta be serious about wanting to do this!

If you want to learn more about me and my work, check out my online portfolio at www.shepko.com. You can also Google my name (Shepherd Hendrix) for additional info. My contact info is below.

I want to put out a product of high thought and quality. I've been practicing my craft since 1991, so I have the right stuff to make it look good... but I need help to bring it into being.

Who's with me?
