Standout projects making waves around the web

I’ve been keeping my head low, for a multitude of reasons. One is cause I just moved to a new city, and trying to enjoy “not” living where I was prior. I’ve also been working hard, trying to learn this screenwriting thing, and just getting focused for the next phase of where I thought Trill League was going. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that next phase is coming. I turned in the final scripts in August, and finalized paperwork with Lionsgate in September, and just been waiting to see if the production would be greenlit — only to read numerous articles about Quibi looking to sale or shut down. What we wrote was definitely gonna get some looks for them, but ultimately, that comes down to having time to create it, which I’m not sure we’re gonna get. I know it was a lot of people looking forward to this thing coming to life, and God knows I’ve been pushing for 6+ years to do so, and exhausted every ounce of energy I’ve had to make it happen. I do appreciate those who rode with me on this journey though. With that being said, I’m plotting on the next phase of the hustle. I’ve learned a lot on this Hollywood grind — let’s see where it goes next.

REPOST FROM @jwriterward (Too dope! They included D.Money!) TRILL LEAGUE FAN FILM PART 2 (Finale) First off I would like to send a very special thank you to @ant_piper, creator of Trill League, for creating awesome characters for kids of color to look up to and envision themselves saving the world. Also, I’d like to thank Anthony and @violentcontentvc for sharing part 1 of the fan film my team put together. This project was personal to us, as we all found a set of characters we identified with. We all have a deep appreciation and respect for the Trill League Universe. If you like this fan film please LIKE and REPOST, to help Anthony get the attention of the studios, so hopefully one day we may see these characters on the big screen. Anthony is already working on a cartoon, can’t wait to see that drop.

I know I’ve been grinding, trying to get Trill League off the ground since 2014, so you’d think I’d get somewhat used to this, but I’m still taken aback when I see other artist producing dope material for the series. Got pointed out to this fan film directed by @jwriterward , with @ky_manns as Sparrow (rocking the adidas uniform from Issue 0 — which came out sick. Feel like I might need to bring that back). Appreciative of the love shown to this thing I created 6 years ago. I promise more TL stuff coming soon. Development takes a minute, but I assure y’all, I’ve been in the hyperbolic chamber with my comedy and commentary writing. Shoutout to @violentcontentvc for directing me to this video.

Throwback to when I did some illustrative work for Ibi Zoboi’s My Life As An Ice Cream Sandwich children’s book published through Penguin Young Reader’s imprint. Was a fun project about a young black girl from Huntsville, AL with space exploration dreams, on a mission to save her grandfather, who was one of NASA’s first black engineers. Had a cool vibe with a mixing of Star Trek with NY’s 80’s Hip Hop scene. #bhm

I wake up every morning wondering if this moment we’re in, Earth’s response to America electing the dumbest MFer to lead it. I think everyone is tired at this point of the politics, the lack of empathy, the regression on social & environmental issues — and just the simple denial of common sense amongst people when it comes to how criminal and unqualified this dude is. America, you fucked up.

Some old shit from when I used to make music. Reminiscing. This had club bangers vibes (I was lowkey kinda aite with the drums). I had a few dope conversations this week with some music heads and industry cats that had me remembering what my vision has always been with my art. I always wanted to fuse music and visual art in a multitude of capacities, from cartoons to directing music videos. Sound and rhythm move me more creatively than seeing dope visual pieces, so I get frustrated than a MFer when I can’t channel that shit into anything appropriate artistically. Shit like Trill League and working with music artists is what keeps me sane working in this comic and animation industry. I can’t front...I want to get back into making music, but trying to conquer this writing and illustration game is already taxing and has my full attention at the moment. But music will always be with me in some form on this ride. I’m just grateful my love for it has allowed me to do the things I’ve done in my short time doing this, and connected me with some dope people and music artists. But I got so much more.

Last week on CH, my indie comic work that I did before I created TL came up in the discussion, and one of the series I worked on was called Blaze Brothers, where I did 8 covers for the series. I ain’t gonna front: the project tested the hell out of me cause they were going for this action movie thing, which wasn’t in the wheelhouse at the time (still ain’t). Looking back though, some of these did come out legit, at least for embarking on something different. I really ain’t got shit else I can post right now either, so I figured why not take it back a bit. Soon though (?) I’m gonna have some of my “own” work I can post. Super busy.
