The Creative Development Team

As we are gearing up for the release of The Underground #0 for the Small Press Idol, I've come to the decision to start a Creative Development Team. The goal of which will be to develop and promote the Underground. This should allow for me to spread my workload out, and welcome fresh ideas to find new ways to reach readers, and keep them interested. Another major focus for this team will be 'The Underground Colony", which is intended to be a group of websites with different material to keep readers involved. The Bugs Blog is one of these sites, as I will be using it to keep you informed as to my thoughts, and what I'm currently working on. I'm really excited about this team, and I've had the time to speak to most of the people I would like to involve in it, everyone so far seems very enthusiastic as well. So keep your eyes peeled because some fun and exciting developments are in store for the Underground.
As far as what I'm working on right now, I've been editing the material for the last round of the Small Press Idol, and doing the final touch ups for the pre-press work. I've got to say once again what an awesome experience this contest has been. I feel that it has allowed me to learn so much, and it is truly something that I will carry with me for always. I also feel that it was the necessary push for me to really start focusing harder on making the Underground a success. It's not going to happen by itself, and it ain't going to be easy, but I'm up for the challenge. I'm also very thankful for those around who through their support and influence all of this is possible.
I've also started working with a good friend, Chris Walker, to start storyboarding future issues of the Underground. As I've mentioned before, I plan to go back over the series of 'The Underground' books that I printed before and elaborate on them, at a sense of depth, and iron out the consistencies. Chris has already been a great help in finding all the underlying themes of the book, and drawing parallels between the characters. This is another development that I am very excited about, and I'm sure it can only mean a better product at the end of the day.
Whew! Well that's a bit of a mouthful. Exciting stuff all around, thanks for hanging in there with me, and as always thanks for your continued support.
