Progress

Hey folks. SO after some talk about Kacelas outfit I've decided just to up her target age. I still think shes a good role model and I don't think her costume is that bad, but I think that by raising her age I can talk about different things including why her costume is different as well as things young women should or shouldn't do. In that vain any info opinions and truths about being a young woman that female out there want to pass along let me know.

I have to apologize to one specific fan, who is still waiting for a poster. trust that when it comes it will also have some free art and what ever else I can throw in there.

I've uploaded some non Kacela art on my deviant account. http://www.ishmiel14.deviantart.com prints of many things available there. if you have a request email me. or leave a message on this blog.
i also started a society6 account if you have any request for society 6 things that you would want to see on shirts or other available objects email me.

and finally there are still books for sale at indyplanet and shirts available at cafepress.com

Whats good people! Just wanted to ask people who have purchased Kacela and liked it to help a brother out and tell a friend. Even if its one person and they don't buy it the positive word of mouth is important and the difference between more things like kacela and less things of a far less positive nature. Also to pose a question for anyone who wants to answer:

Is Captain Kacela too provocatively dressed for girls aged 7-12 and why or why not?

Jambo! Just updating those who wonder. Captain Kacela Universal Ranger issue 3 is about 75 percent done. Some setbacks this summer but no worries the work continues. Infact here is the cover of issue 3.

Back to school next week. Been a great summer spending time with my young man and working on art. Looking forward to getting back into a a good routine. one of the reasons I created kacela was to combat the tons and tons of negativity black women have to endure in pop media and news around the world. here is an example i found online.

Hey
A new week, wish the weekend was longer because Saturdays ECBACC was awesome.
Got to teach a well prepared workshop on comics for children, got a lot of books and commisioned a bust of Captain Kacela from excellent artist Christian St.Pierre, check his stuff out here http://www.christiannstpierre.com/news.html

Didn't get to print and sell any artmada books yet, and book three of Captain Kacela didn't make it by ECBACC, so I'm working hard to get it ready for Wizard World this June.
Be on the look out and I hope to see more people at the table in Wizard World buying some art.

Jaaamboooo!

It's that time again. Convention season in full effect. So far I have ECBACC and Wizard World Philly on the map. Stay tuned to see what other conventions I can add to the list.

This year be on the look out for new art posters, Captain Kacela 1,2 and future Arson comic previews. I'm also proud to announce the new ARTMADA sketch book will be on sale. At ECBACC and Wizard World Philly and shortly online at indyplanet.com
