Jon Macy

This week's feature is as endowed artistically as he his with the gift of writing. 

I'm gonna admit, I wasn't familiar with Jon Macy prior to researching Northwest Press' creative line up.   I'm a little embarrassed to share that, because the man has been in this game for good minute. His folio includes everything from comics with Eros/Fantagraphics to the anthologies of Meatmen and Gay Comix to say the least. On top of decades of experience, he offers a unique style with fantastic stories from the heart. 

It is an honor to share a Jon Macy JezzLoad with you. :D

Zan Christensen

If you've read Class Comic's "Mark of Aceus," then you're familiar with the writings of Zan Christensen. Zan has ascended from being a comic writer to the ranks of comics publishing. When I learned of his new company, Northwest Press, I hopped on the opportunity to get to know Zan a little more and to find out more about his new comic company.

This interview revealed Zan has worn several hats (and hair colors) in the media industry...

March

hey Hey HEY Everybody!

It's March 2011! Spring is around the corner (for those of us in the northern hemisphere).
It looks like spring is a time for makin' babies and not having em, 'cause I only got one birthday call this month - cartoonist and phenomenal caricaturist, Brett Willis, celebrates a birthday on the 21st. Check him out on his site or on Facebook and show the stud some love.

I've got a treat for you this month. I'll be sharing not one, not two, but three Q&As with you this month. Northwest Press is a new LGBT publishing company and I've got interviews with the founder, Zan Christensen, and 2 of their creators Jon Macy and Justin Hall.
The more companies out there that support or cater to the gay community, the more opportunities there are for gay artist and writers to share their work. So, I'm happy to give a shout out for another gay publishing house and even happier to share their goods with you all.

I've got my hands full with a couple of commissions and personal projects so I won't have much art to share this month, but I will of course be posting the next in my zodiac series and I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a quicky here or there ;)

Until next week, folks. Enjoy my "Lucky Charms Lad"
