Without social media, I never would have found out that my Daredevil #373 cover was given new life through the work of these notable artists; Paolo Rivera, Peach Momoko and Dustin Nguyen.
Many thanks to Jeremiah Fettinger, Dakota Alexander, and Alex Macphee whom I met through FB

Just learned that Peach Momoko also did an homage to my DD #373 pose. I consider it an honor 🙏

It's quite an honor for me to have Dustin Nguyen do an homage of my pose from Daredevil #373 for this Batman / Daredevil crossover.
It's tiny, but really cool! I just found out about it today, thanks to my friend Dakota Alexander.

I'll be taking a break from comics for a while.
My day job has become more stressful, and I'll be teaching martial arts a few more nights a week soon.
It was a really fun year!

I visited my friend Christian Angeles who was tabling at Nerd Fest in Swedesboro, NJ today.
I had the pleasure of meeting Derek Allen from Konkret comics and Robert J. Sodaro, comic writer. Hoping to have the opportunity to work with them in the future 🙏

I had a great time meeting Daredevil fans at the Tom's River Toy and Comic Show. I had the most visitors and sold more prints & comics at this show than any of the other events I've done before.
Many thanks to the hosts Kevin & Margit for their hospitality and support 🙏

I was pretty busy for a part-time comic artist for 3 months, from March 17th - June 16th.
I had to pencil and provide direction to my inker and colorist until the delivery of the final files.
Balancing a full-time job, plus family and teaching responsibilities, was challenging.

My target audience in my head when I'm working on a cover is my tri-fecta;
Neal Adams
Joe Quesada
Mike Mignola
If I think they would approve, then I've achieved my goal.
As Neal advised me, "The only thing that matters in this industry is the respect of your peers."
