I’ll admit off the bat, I’m nervous trying to get into the history of my characters because I know for each topic, every reader has their own experience and pain attached to various topics. I did my best to base my characters on people I really know and have taken versions of their stories and applied it to my characters. Of course, the point of this comic is awesome bear battling action, but I did also jump into it as a training ground for myself to practice writing somewhat deeper stories. My dad is not military, nor is he a Mormon. In fact my mom was pretty supportive of me when I was growing up and I never felt like I wasn’t good enough. It was much more my peers, and my own self image that made me feel not good enough most of the time. This is an area where Andrea becomes one character I sympathize with a lot. I can’t imagine being raised by a family who believes something very passionately and you just can’t. Hopefully I am able to communicate that sympathy as the story goes on, but I also don’t want to make Mormons out to be villains. There are enough religious people = evil stories out there and the truth about people and life is often much more complex than that.

This is not Bearmageddon, but I wanted to share this preview for the new Axe Cop animated comic series that will be coming out weekly starting on Friday. Rugburn is producing a large number of episodes and this preview is just awesome in my opinion.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I am considering opening up sales on commissions again because I could use the money and people have been showing interest. Check out my Instagram to see a bunch of the ones I have done so far. If you would be interested in getting one of these let me know.
