Mike Wieringo

The comic world suffered a great loss this week...
It really striked me down, even though I never followed up his marvel stuff or even Tellos, I can say Mike's work always seemed pretty 'affective' or 'cuddly' to me. Like my friend Felipe said, he was the guy that new how to draw super heroes in the most charismatic way... and now he's gone.

Then I got to read some of the testimonials people are posting all over websites, foruns and blogs, and it just put it all in perspective.
Mike was one of the coolest, humblest (thats not a word), simple and affective person and professional in comics, and he will be terribly missed by everybody who ever knew him or his work. Damn, I never got to know the guy and I miss him even.

But like I said, it put things in perspective.

Even though I've been heavy hearted this whole week from the knews about Mike, right now I'm glad because I'm returning home for the weekend with 2 baskets full of wine, sweets and spices and other goodies as a late father's day gift, both for my real dad and my 'adoptive' dad from the kung-fu classes I used to attend, ( and hopefully will return to)

They're both gonna say it's too much, my dad is gonna be pissed because I shouldn't be spending money, yadda yadda yadda but it will be so worth it just seeing their faces the very moment they receive the gifts.

Yeah, I'm really glad about it.

And since I was talking big bosses...

Really cool!

Hope next SDCC I'm rich enough to pay for the trip...

it's madness in every direction!

I think I'm still not quite aware of what's happening here. I've been giving interviews for brazilian and international websites and local newspapapers. I've been receiving so many emails I don't have the time to answer them properly... all about
In Her darkest hour being in stores the next wednesday, August 8!

It's finally happening! I'm kickstarting my carrer in the comic world and I'm not aiming low. I'm being published! By Shadowline of almighty Jim Valentino himself! CHEESUS!


l to r - Jim Valentino, Arvid Nelson,
Jason Rand, Kristen Simon

Those 2 people in the corners are responsible for half the mess my life is in right now. It's the good half!

I'm still to find a picture of Jimmie Robinson, the guy who actually found my page in comicspace. It's a little weird that I have never seen his face :(

It's all so surreal. I wish my life was a little more stable right now. I know I'm not answering mails and blogging and wandering around the foruns much, but that's not because I'm absent or I don't care. I'm having a bunch of technical problems right now which I really wish they could be solved easily, but they're not. And some of them are too personal or to technical to explain...Right now I'm worried about almost all the people who matters most in my life, and I have to focus on my job and not getting sick about it. Bear with me for a while people, please! At least now I have money, I'll get an internet connection at home ASAP. I don't even have a phone there, if my cell dies I die. Almost.

For those who missed it, Ryan Mclelland interviewed me at newsarama.

I wanna thank Ryan again for being a cool dude, doing a great job and supporting me. So thanks Ryan ;)

And Kris and Jim, and all the Shadowline crew if they're reading it. I'll try to say something in the foruns afterwards if I have the time!

And please,

get me some news soon.

that's it for now folks!
