SUPER BREAK POP CREW!

So I am about a month and a half away from pitching my next big comic to publishers. I've been holding the title back in supreme secrecy for months now (online anyways. I think every friend I have around me is probably sick of hearing the title, personally). But here it is: "SUPER BREAK POP CREW" is the 2nd big comic coming out of the RUDY! stable of comics!

As with "Train Me, Gamble," I will be posting a 16 page preview here on rudysolis.com for you guys, my friends and fans. You will be able to read the comic before the big wigs, before anyone right here!

I'm very very excited about this new project. The art is by the inconquerable WILLIAM ALAN REYES and the letters are by the unbeatable KEL NUTTALL. If William is my right hand man, then Kel is definitely the left. Kel is wrapping up the letters as we speak, so the preview will be up and running here in the next week or two.

But just to give you a little info on this big project: "SUPER BREAK POP CREW" is about the world's greatest Breakdancing, Pop Star, Superheroes. There are five members to this all-star squad: SUPER ACTION OPTICAL, PANDA BONG BONG, BBOY FOREVER LIFE, GUMSHOE ROBO, and the cutest/toughest girl the world has ever seen- BOY DON'T CRY! 

Our story follows the Super Break Pop Crew as they face their greatest challenge yet! What is this challenge you ask? Well, I guess you're going to have read Issue One to find out! Rest assured, this is comic is going to knock your socks off!

Now that I've hyped this damn thing up to the gills, I've got to be nice and show you at least Page One right? Okay, you've twisted my arm. Here it is folks, PAGE ONE OF SUPER BREAK POP CREW!!!! MORE TO COME!

When in doubt, give them art. - 2

Happy 2010! Oh 10, oh yea! Welcome to the new year everyone!

The holidays were very kind to me and busy. I have started a new shoot that takes me around the city and involves specific objects. So far I've completed 2 locations. I still have 5 more areas to shoot in. But thats all I can share with you on that. In the near future I will share the product of that shoot.

There is also a new project that will be starting soon. It involves human subjects...no I'm afraid it will not feature Jeremy Morgan, but he is a subject you will see again. My newest work in this shoot will involve a female. I've come up with some concepts and she and I are excited to see them come to fruition. I must apologize again, for that is all I can share on the matter...for now.

Lets get to the goods. The shot you see below is part of a series I did here in downtown San Francisco. The shoot itself was indeed skate photography. However I decided to take skating into the still life realm. The light on this day was fantastic! The sunset was cracking between buildings and bouncing everywhere. I was very fortunate to have it assist me the way it did. 

The wonderful thing about this photograph was of course the woman on the left side of the frame. She just happened to be walking by and I did not intend for her to be in the shot. In fact I didn't notice her until I took the photo into editing. Her reaction makes the picture. This is the beautiful thing about photography. Often things like this will happen when you go out on shoots in the public. You can't predict what will come into the frame when you shoot and if it so happens to work out like it did in this shot then you may end up with one hell of a picture.

This shot along with the others in the series will go on sale in several different forms. I will have regular prints as well as large canvas prints. There will be more details on that in the coming months. For now I'd like to know what you think so please leave comments. Til next time..keep it 100. Peace.

P.S. This one is for MLK.

When in doubt, give them art.

So I wrote this really deep intellectual post about becoming 30. There I was, baring my soul on my site, talking all about growing up and what it is to be a young man standing on the brink of losing the word young and just being simply a "man." 

And I deleted it. I felt like I lacked the proper verbage to explain what I meant. So I let it go. Perhaps another day.

Either way, it feels really good to get older. I enjoy it. Can I just say that? I often feel like Neo from the Matrix. The older I become, the easier it is to read between the lines.

Since that is about all I have to say, I thought I would give you some stuff to chew on. Ladies and Gentlemen:

MORE ART FROM MY NEW COMIC! I chose these two pages because the final panel you will see describes how I feel about getting older perfectly...

Kel is currently working on the letters. As soon as we get them done, I will go into so much more detail about this comic! Word is bond!

Final Note: These pages come from Issue 1. The page from the post below comes from Issue 2. Yes out of order. Yes to confuse you. Glad you noticed.

I got a preview. So you do too.

William just sent me an inked version Page 5 of Issue 2. It seemed only fair that I shared it with you guys as well. Check. Study. Discuss amongst yourselves.
