Well who said there was no money in comics...I said that because no one was paying. It was all "lets do this project and we'll enter it into this contest" or "this is a passion project of mine and lets do something great!" No thanks, my landlord doesn't accept hugs for payment and neither does Sallie Mae.
So I was approached by Shot in the Dark Comics via facebook and through a month of deliberations I accepted their offer. To start of with I'll be working on a graphic novel, Southbound Redemption. It's a true life story about a guy that grows up in a crime syndicate in South Boston. It's in the style between Sin City and Boondock Saints. And me living about 15 minutes from South Boston I'll have alot of source material to draw from, literally.
Well I guess I'll be making the rounds at the conventions now. I'm just glad to be a step closer to providing for my family with my art. That is the most important thing. Thanks again and go to http://www.alexalderete.com/ to donate and keep steamship a chuggin' along, thanks!
