'Oktopus #1 (Cover)'

The cover illustration of my first Oktopus miniseries--this issue debuting roughly a year ago.  Problems with my chosen printer, as well as many other personal challenges, lead to this issue's delays--and that inevitably lead to the HUGE delay of the second and third(final) issues of this arc.  The second issue should be out by the end of June (with much better-looking art and lettering, I might add), and the third issue by August.

Even following Okto's story on this blog would be better than not following it at all, for these three issues will serve as a springboard into the ongoing series!  If you want hardcopies of Oktopus #1, #2, or #3, visit comixpress.com and type "oktopus" into the search engine.  Issue 1 is currently available, with Issue 2 and 3 set to be available by the end of the summer!

The link below is an article/interview featuring me conducted by Midland Daily News' Josh Grosteffon.  Here I talk a little bit about the development and premise of Oktopus, as well as my influences and the initial impetus that lead me to creating comic books.:)
