- STEEL RAIN: This is easily my most difficult accomplishment as an artist, writer and businessman to date. Not only did
I create, write, pencil, ink, letter and apply the hand-cut dot screens in this 40-page graphic novel, but after painting
the cover and designing the title logos, I set out to publish the work myself. This entailed marketing to distributors and
advertisers, working up consignment agreements and proposals, advertising, and of course walk-in sales and telemarketing.
The final stroke was to print the limited 500-copy publication myself and premiere at a book-signing/sneak-preview on February
28, 1998 at Dragon's Lair Comics. All in all, an inspiring accomplishment of seeing a complicated project like this all the
way through.
