FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
His latest project is a
graphic novel titled Pariah, Missouri Missouri St Joseph St
Joseph St Joseph
“When I conceived Pariah, I
wanted something that I could tell graphically since comics have been my love
as a kid. It’s much cheaper of course to
generate a comic and this is a good way to build a fanbase,” says Andres. Creating a comic book is not without it’s
challenges, an artist needed to be found so Andres turned to sites such as
Deviantart.com to find affordable and dependable artists.
“That was a challenge. I mean, I could have drawn it myself, but
comic book art takes an incredible amount of time, plus there is value in
adding others creative juices to the mix.
I was lucky to find a great artist like Jose,” says Andres. Jose Luis Pescador is no stranger to the
comic book world. He studied at the
National Autonomous University of Mexico and has worked on a number of
independent graphic novels and has shown fine art in galleries across the
country.
His super-team was assembled,
but Andres still needed funding. Enter
Kickstarter.com Kickstarter is a new
phenomenon in what is dubbed crowdfunding which gives creators a chance realize
their ambitions by asking others to “back” their project. From films, music albums to food, Kickstarter
generates hundreds of projects daily in the hopes that they meet their funding
goal. If the goal is achieved, backers
then receive rewards according to their pledge amount.
Having worked for Howard
Chaykin as an assistant, Andres learned much of the business from his
mentor. Andres also wrote and directed
SAG short film After Cheri and stated , “We are very excited about our
