About The Hero Initiative:
The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strict to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterday’s creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.

CURRENT WORK & PROJECTS
________________________
Working On Writing/drawing “Tin Star Tex” comics got a few Sketch card sets in the works. Pin-ups for friends books are also in the works (love helping out friends with pin-ups, fun to play with their characters)

Tin Star Tex is gaining momentum like nothing I've ever done before creatively AND commercially and I couldn't be happier. And i gotta say i have some of the best Art Friends around because a whole bunch of them are doing Tin Star Tex pin-ups for me and getting the word out and I cant thank them enough! Check out just a few of the Spectacular TST pin-ups...







With many more on the way!!!
