As many of you Loyal Airmen are aware, several years ago, the Air Chief created a fantasy adventure character with artist Olivia DeGaine called Raizee the Ram in a story titled “The Wooden Blade.” After Olivia had finished drawing the story, we had it published in our friend Todd Jones’ comic anthology, “Wicked Tales.” Then later that year, the Air Chief penned two more Raizee tales, Olivia drew them and she and her husband, artist Zane DeGaine published all three stories in Raizee’s own title, appropriately “The Wooden Blade” from their own publishing imprint, Pulp Fusion.  Since that time the Air Chief finished another adventure of our traveling swordsman and Olivia is currently busy at work bringing it to visual life. At upper right, is her latest finished page (pencils & inks). The two of us are hoping she can have it all wrapped by Nov. so we can have issue # 2 of “The Wooden Blade” available for the Rocky Mountain Con in Denver. All fingers crossed.

Since moving to Fort Collins, Olivia and Zane have become our dearest friends and we often like to go out to local restaurants. Well, early this year, Olivia’s mom, Barbara, made the big move from the East Coast and is now living with them. She’s a real sweetheart and both Val and the Air Chief have had the great pleasure of getting to know her as well. So last weekend, Olivia invited us to join them at a local eatery celebrate Barbara’s birthday. We were thrilled to join them. Above, left to right are, Barbara, Olivia, Zane, Val and the Air Chief. We are so blessed with such people in our lives.

SATIN’S WAYS –

And happy to show off the latest on this project. Artist Crisanto Moreno is a very busy man with a full time job that keeps him very busy. Part of being a professional, is maintaining one’s responsibilities to your loved ones. That means paying the bills, providing food and a home. All of which cost money. Something the life of a freelance artist can never truly depend on. So Crisanto fulfills his responsibilities and whatever few hours a week that leaves him, he draws.  And he draws beautifully.  Above left is his starting roughs of page 8.  You can see he’s started to place the word balloons so as to see what space he has left to compose his images. Pretty much what most pros do. It’s a long process, but in the end so worth the time and effort. Thank you, Crisanto.
