Hey all things are going well decided to drop this here first. Working on a online comic project should hit over the supper months. Mentioned it a few post prior to know it's for Malayaisa Carter. It will be posted on Http://MalayaisaCarter.com bi-weekly. Provided i can get everything together in time. Here is a pre-view. It's also the first time I've experimented with digital painting.

Hey quick update,

I'm changing format just a little. This is still my personal art blog. Meaning I will post sketches personal projects as well as miscellaneous art work. But I've started 3 more blogs.  This should allow me to post more work and make it easier to keep up with web comics.

the first blog http://captainkacela.blogspot.com/
current news on Captain Kacela Universal Ranger as well as deleted scenes and ketches

the second blog http://kieshau.blogspot.com/
For the ongoing web series Kiesha Underground. This will mean I won't be posting it on this blog page. I will post if I've made an update. Again this page will have the series and sketches/ pin ups and additional info.

the third blog http://harleysbailbonds.blogspot.com/
Blog for the upcoming roach comic should be done by the end of 2014

the fourth http://fuknockout.blogspot.com/
Fighers Universe is an old personal project. Not sure how often I will update it. I do have a lot of back logged work I can add in the mean time.

Will try to update all pages sunday evenings  twice a month. My main(http://rangerk.com) blog maybe more often since I post thoughts as well as images. I'll also start back logging images that maybe on deviant or may have not been scene.
Thanks again for visiting. make sure to check out captain Kacelas fan page on facebook

Hey just wanted to add some links to that last blog of some other ideas and examples of black women and image type
early comic book pioneer
http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/28/african-american-women-take-on-the-comic-book-industry/

black females in comics really good list of characters. not all of them but alot of modern ones.
http://urbanhorror.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/2012-the-year-black-females-ruled-in-comics/

found this intesresting. some artist ranking the size of body types had a general consensus on white males. and alot of confusion about white females. black females aren't mentioned. in a conversation about olympians and body types no one talks about black women.
