Young People for Creative Arts program.

I would like to announce I am running a program for the Nemesis the Hunter's Mark project for youth between 14-24 to become part of a collaborative effort to develop brand products for the comic book. I am looking for creative writers, graffiti artists, actors, graphic designers, music producers, singers/vocalists, voice-actors, rappers, lyricists, hair/make-up artists, costume designers, filmmakers, runners, editors, bloggers, promoters, researchers and web designers to contribute. I will be visiting people in schools, colleges and universities to talk about this. I will be giving more details next week, keep visiting this blog to look out for the information.

Ciao for now,

What's Happening Now?

Hope you liked the music, in my post last week on Youtube. I'm hoping to get the music video done soon. My exams have officially finished and all I have got at the moment is course work. I will be having another meeting sometime next week about certain papers I have to fill and other libel that I may need to be aware of. I have nearly finished colour notes that I intend to send to Kieron for colour and Rommel has nearly finished the pages and should be done by tomorrow or maybe on the weekend. When I receive the pages, I will post them on Facebook and Deviant Art. So far, I have sent Julio my script and layouts for issue 2 and he should be getting on with that soon. The search for animators for my trailer is in progress, I'm having a script reading by the end of May with two actors. The auditions for Maria Francisco and Uncle Phil Jackson are still going on plus the script is being worked on by my editor.

For Hardest to Survive, I plan to do test shoots during the bank holidays, I have to inform the Director of Photography and Film Editor soon. After this, shooting of the whole film will take place most likely in July-August. I'm not sure what is going on with The New Kid, Jstaarz, the director is trying to make agreements with the actor for the main role but I'm helping out with that. He may not be able to assist with my short film as he is busy sorting out his own projects. I will be sorting out the test shoots as well.

Take Care,

Website is launched.

Hope you okay with everything surrounding the bombshell I put on you about the problems with Hardest to Survive, but sometimes these problems arise. Its really how well you deal with them. Anyway, Rommel has done a rough first draft of letters he has done and they are looking good. I sent him some more pages yesterday, but I'm still waiting for Julio to pass me the other half of the pages for me to ink. I should get it this weekend. After that, it should take some time for me to ink but not too long. Got issue 2 of my layouts to send him too and I'm reformatting the script so that he can get a clear idea on what he is working with. Kieron is off duty busy with his own stuff at the moment, but hopefully by the time I finish the inks and send it to Rommel to go over the letters, he should be finished on time so that I can send him a fully inked and lettered comic book issue for him to wash in technicolour.

Anyway, enough about that. This is not what I came here to talk about, the website for the Nemesis is now ready. There are services for different creative media handled by my company LD Studios, F-ENT and Ezee Media like I spoke to you about the other day. This is so that people who express themselves in the Arts like writers, illustrators, musicians, directors, dancers and more could go in the forefront and provide them a service they need assisting on. At the moment, we can only handle writers, rappers, singers, actors for video production and editing or creative writing and illustration but there will soon be more services available. I cannot provide an obligation quote but there is a contact for more information. The site is on the links page and is as follows http://www.nemesisthehunter.co.uk/.

Laters everyone,

What's New?!

Hey fans,

This is your entertainer, Lil Dre, coming back with some more stuff. I am trying to sort out the next audition for my short film and I'm just going to have to wait until they get back to me. I just came to give you a synopsis of Nemesis Dawn of a Legend#6, coming out this Friday. I am going to start the art for that pretty soon, but the story is sorted. I hope you all like #5 though as this is when things really start to pick up. In this issue you found Henry under attack by assassins who were after him and his own uncle getting caught in the crossfire. Wait till the next issue, though, you'll be shocked.

Anyway, this is not just what I came here to discuss about. It's about some animation I'm doing for a media studio. As I said to you last time, I'm working on something called Aggro, I am not going to spoil anything for you but I will tell you the basic idea around it. I am working for some really good people at the publishing house and we are trying to bring to you some really cool stuff. At the moment, we are sorting out the animators. You can expect separate parts of the plots put together in one storyline and this will be a teenage drama. I'm not given anything else, you just have to wait.

Nemesis Dawn of a Legend#6

A Blank Slate part 2 of 6: Criminal Minds

"After the raid in his own home, Henry immerses himself in the world of murder and deception, he intends to put his whole powers to the test. In response to it, he prepares to don the mantle of his father's alias, "The Shadow Man", a legendary warrior of New York. To do this, he is willing to do anything in order to get his revenge. Now that he has learned about his origins he now has an understanding of what he is capable of and that within his genes holds a crave, "Berserker Instinct", a sense which ties with all of his amazing feats, but with both good and bad aspects. The search for the other assassins continues with the second part of "A Blank Slate". Can he overcome the temptations his powers bring him or totally lose himself?"

Later everyone,
