Cinemacomics!

Jay Carvajal started out writing screenplays over ten years ago and continues to do so today. He is a lifelong comic book reader and is currently adapting several of his screenplays into comic book format.

His company, Cinemacomics, publishes quality comic books with a cinematic feel to them. The stories are self contained and run for as many issues as needed to tell the tale. Jay collaborates with truly talented artists and his several titles are accomplished with style, originality and great passion for the graphic medium.

"A sequel will always be a possibility if there is fan interest and a story to be told that will be as entertaining as the first," says Jay.

During the coming years, Westerns, Sci-fi, and everything in between will be published at Cinemacomics and all will have a beginning, middle, and an end to each story.

Flatland

Full of dry wit and wry satire worthy of Monty Python, Flatland is the imaginative creation of independent filmmaker Ladd P. Ehlinger Jr., who directed, animated and edited the entire feature film. You can find him on MySpace, as I did.

Adapted from the 1884 novel by Edwin A. Abbott, the story follows its hero A Square, who inhabits a world that is completely flat and two-dimensional. A mysterious visitor from the third dimension arrives, bent on spreading the gossip about another dimension called height. A Square is taken out of Flatland and transported to the 3D universe. In so doing, the very fabric of space-time itself is placed at risks, potentially destroying all of creation.



Widely reviewed, Ladd has earned critical acclaim from Film Threat, Scifi.com, and Aintitcool, among others. Flatland clips have been frequently viewed on Youtube.

Ladd has a Special Collector's Limited Edition DVD, signed and personally numbered, now available at www.flatlandthefilm.com

Johnny Saturn

Scott Story, one of the many friends I've made on MySpace, is the talent responsible for sending a superhero to hell.

Johnny Saturn is his long-running, full-color webcomic currently at home on Graphic Smash. This site is intended as your resource for all-thing Johnny Saturn, especially the many characters who pass through the strip.

Scott and his wife began the comic with a basic question: Which is superior? Super powers or martial arts? Martial arts or great intellect? Great intellect or the will to succeed at any cost? "Though we have gone on to explore other questions, this theme is still central to the story," he says on his website.

Scott Story is a freelance illustrator and cartoonist who lives in the Midwest. He's done album covers for bands, covers and interior illustrations for table-top role-playing games, advertising illustrations for large corporations, logos for individuals and businesses, graphics for websites, illustrations for magazines, and private commissions of all types.

You've got to love a writer with the last name "Story".

Vote and put a roof on a school in Africa, you’re money not required

myFRIENDS

My friend John "apuuli" does community development work in Africa through an organization he started World Community Development Programme.

One of the communities he works with is trying to raise money through a website called givemeaning. This community, Bulaga, has raised thousands of dollars to build a school using local fundraisers, marathons, and selling crafts created by the kids. Bulaga just needs $1600 to complete construction of the roof so the kids can use the school. At present, they are barred from using the school by the government inspectors.

“The way givemeaning.com works is they post a proposed project and then individuals, like you, must review it and vote on it to see if it is worth funding,” says apuuli. “WE NEED YOUR VOTES!!!”

What you're "voting" on is whether you feel the proposed project is worthwhile. When you vote, you're NOT making a financial commitment of any kind; you're simply indicating that you think it's a good idea and should go ahead.

Voting takes less than a minute, and it's easy - so please VOTE NOW, by clicking here:
http://www.givemeaning.com/proposal/littleangelsskul2 to review the project profile (and then just click on the Vote icon to cast your vote).

With enough votes, the Project's founder can work towards making the idea a reality.
