I have been a creative sort for as long as I can remember. The arts
always appealed to me, though they were mere hobbies through most of my
youth. I got seriously into comics around the age of 13, and by 15 I
decided I wanted to be a comic artist, though I also wanted to be a
singer. That lasted for about 4 years until some other things
sidetracked me away from comics, namely being lack of money, my commitment
to church and the fact I was drifting through life with no specific
goals or destination.
At the age of 21, five years after finishing high school (yes,
you read that right) I finally decided to go to college, though I still
had no clue what I was going to do. I took computers because I never had
one and thought it would be fun. It wasn't. But luckily, I discovered my
love for writing via my English teacher who noticed potential in me. And
that was it. I knew I wanted to be a writer.
I had lost the passion for art, though I still hoped to revisit
it someday. I also never lost the passion to sing and somewhere along
the way developed a passion to act. But life has seen fit to keep me
from those goals as of yet for various reasons and through many
setbacks. But writing is something I was able to do through it all.
Fast forward several years and I find myself still trying to
break into comics as a writer and still with limited funds. Long story
short, I started learning to letter so I could letter my own stuff and
save a little cash in the long run. Turns out I really like it and have
gotten pretty good at it. I've only been lettering for about a year and
a half to two years now, but I've already worked on many projects. When
you start to look at what each part of the comic creation process
entails you start to appreciate all the effort and talent it takes to do
each job. I learned lettering is an art, and the subtle ways it can add
to (or take away from) a story is still amazing to me. I am thankful for
yet another opportunity to put words to the page here at Hard Way, and I
hope my small part helps to further the product as a whole. |
