atomic tiki studio 2007 skip to main skip to sidebar monday december 17 2007 24 cold warriors here s a peek at what i ve been up to for the past few weeks of course all of the family stuff that goes along with illness and death have seriously affected my productivity and has forced to to drastically alter my working method as well as putting in even crazier hours than usual in some ways i feel a slight sense of disappointment with the work i had set my sights on the way that al williamson did adapted licensed material of course even if none of these crises would have happened i m sure that i would have fallen well short of the williamson bar and would be feeling some of this disappointment but i still get a sen se of what might have been that said however any time that one changes up the way they work is bound to present new insights and create new opportunities to learn and rethink one s methods that s certainly the case on this job i m eager top bring some of these new techniques to other projects down the line and see if they re merely situational solutions or new stuff for the ol bag of tricks posted by steve bryant at 10 34 am 5 comments labels 24 inks samples sunday december 16 2007 paul e bryant 1928 2007 i ve had a significant lack of posts here for a while it started with juggling my work on the forthcoming 24 cold warriors more on that and preview art in the coming days and recently culminated in the death of my dad paul bryant i received a phone call from my mom three weeks ago today my dad had a dizzy spell and was having trouble adjusting afterward i hurried over and was pretty sure that he had indeed had a stroke i carried him to their van and drove him and my mom to the hospital my folks are of that generation of not wanting to be a bother and my dad wouldn t hear of me calling 911 while in the hospital we learned that in addition to the stroke he had lung cancer not quite a newsflash to any of us involved he was 79 and had smoked since he was 16 but it was bracing none the less the plan was that when he was able we would move him to a nursing home to begin the rehabilitation process from the stroke when he was strong enough we would start chemotherapy last saturday night december 8 four days after being moved to the nursing home my dad passed away in his sleep this sort of thing is never easy but none of us make it through life well alive in all honesty it could have been much worse had it been sudden none of would have had the chance to say goodbye had it dragged on for months it could have affected my mom s retirement money our health care system doesn t like to step in until poverty has been achieved by the surviving spouse it sounds silly to think about stuff like that but i know that would have weighed heavily on dad s mind he wasn t in pain in the post stroke days either and the last doctor he saw was his granddaughter dr amanda bryant i talked to him on a daily basis when he was alive i think i talk to him even more now after all i don t have to pick up the phone to call him he may not answer but most of the time i know what he would have said with how much i miss him i find that to be both sad and comforting before all of this came down i had plans for ursula wilde and athena voltaire all pending my completing the 24 job i hope that those plans will be realized in 2008 for now though i m keeping my nose to the grindstone with 24 my dad taught me that when you work for a person you work for them so that s what i m doing on 24 cold warriors working my ass off i hope you re watching dad i think you ll be pleased with the results posted by steve bryant at 9 21 pm 2 comments labels 24 personal wednesday october 3 2007 be a superhero put comics in the classroom donors choose is an incredible website that allows teachers in our underfunded public school systems to appeal directly to citizens for help in funding special projects they have raised 13 500 000 since 2000 the vast majority of which went to schools in low income communities donors choose is a 501c3 organization meaning your gift is tax deductible http www donorschoose org molly my editor and i were browsing through some of these projects today and thought there was an open window for the comics community to help several projects are specifically requesting funds for comics and graphic novels in the classroom knowing that most comics fans are worried about the next generation we felt that this would be an incredible way to improve comic visibility expose a new generation to the medium and most importantly get some kids excited about reading so we ve developed the be a superhero put comics in the classroom challenge http www donorschoose org donors viewchallenge html id 17279 we picked several of the comic related requests and hope you will choose to fund one of them any amount you can spare will help to encourage you we ve got prizes you will receive a receipt from donor s choice

open until october 31 feel free to post it on your blog let s see the comic community give back thankfully molly is handling prize fulfillment for this which is good news to those of you who have dealt with my slow ass feel free to post this on your blog we think we could blow away 1000 if enough fans took a look at the kids in need if you see any more projects you would like added to the challenge let us know posted by steve bryant at 11 56 am 1 comment labels athena voltaire contest inks friday september 14 2007 another commission athena voltaire and wolverine i guess it makes sense
