WHAT'S HAPPENING FOLKS?

Well, I did it. I graduated college. A four year Bachelors Degree in New Media. The ceremony was on May 18th and it was a very proud day for my family and friends. I'm actually the first in my family to graduate college on time. Celebrated the day by heading to City Island for happy hour and then I moved out of my college apartment. The celebration continues all summer and I'm now on a permanent summer vacation ^w^

But seriously, I do have some great plans to put my degree to good use. Starting in June, I will be working in the offices of the New York State Council of the Arts (Digital/electronic Art and Visual Arts Department specifically. It starts off as an internship, but they guarantee that I can work my way up the ladder for a paying job along with making the right connections in the art world so my work can get more mainstream exposure. My dad is also going to introduce me to some people who can get me production based work at News12 studios, a local station in NYC. Either way, both will be very rewarding in expanding upon the skills that my BA covered.

For money, I'm still working at my local galleria and as a freelance comic artist/graphic/tattoo designer. I'm also getting a good amount of cash for tuition refunds and from relatives, so I have enough cash to live comfortably (if not like a rock star ). I got the freedom to hit up all of my favorite bars and clubs, renew my membership at a local Planet Fitness, and hang out with my entourage. I'm actually thinking of saving up so I can travel a bit more, but for now I'm cool with hitting up NYC and the suburbs. I even spend my money to treat the the people who have supported and helped me out throughout the years such as my parents. We actually just got back from watching "The Dictator" in which I bought them both the tickets and dinner.

I'm not going to make a D91 Review for the film, but this comedy is very ridiculous. Sacha Baron Cohen delivers once again with his very controversial sense of humor in his first scripted film since "Ali G Indahouse". While his character is not as strong as his past three, Cohen still remains entertaining throughout the entire film and you get a good sense of development from a man who is a childish dictator that goes on a "spiritual" journey showing him both a "democratic" and "dictatorship" culture from the eyes of civilians. In all honesty, I'm surprise how Cohen got away with these ridiculously offensive jokes (that I still laughed at). Makes me want to buy the unrated DVD even more now. There's a good mix of stereotypical and shock humor along Cohen's trademark technique of criticizing economical/cultural behavior in modern times. If you are looking for a good laugh with friends and family, I definitely recommend this movie as a good summer comedy start up.



So now that I'm done with school, you may be wondering if this will increase the productivity of submitting new material on this page. The answer is yes, and a little bit of no. Right now, I have a good amount of free time on my hands to plan out what's going to be coming out in the next few months. However, I am adding more hours on my work schedule for both financial reasons and for career benefits. This is good news since I am currently making arrangements to update my operating systems and equipment to deliver more high quality work for you guys. I do have many great projects in mind for this summer including the return of original series such as INFAMY X SIEGE, READY UP!!!!, BX BOUNCERS, CHARTER PANELS, BLOODLINE, and LOVELY SAINTS". I am also writing a new D91 Crossover Saga that will follow INFAMY X SIEGE.

As for side projects,there may be some new fan art here and there. I'm also going to make some more random comic panels that vary in quality since the feedback on the last few have been positive for the last few. They are easier to produce and still tend to put a smile on peoples faces. There will also be a series of collaborative drawings done with friends I knew in college, so that's going to be pretty cool to see new faces in my style.

In the mean time, I highly recommend that you guys follow me on TWITTER @D91Live. I update often with news on future projects, my D91 T-shirt brand, when I'm on PS3/PSN hosting open gaming lobbies, behind the scenes material, and life as Dante in general. I also give shout outs to fellow talented artists, so you get free exposure in the process.


So until next time folks. Stay tuned for more and enjoy the D91 Goodness on my page.
Thank You soo much for the ongoing support.
