Sorry for the long delay between updates but things have been busy! Just got back from 10 days in LA where I was meeting with a few Agencies about representation and production companies interested in The Hardballers as a live action feature film.

Saw a lot of bikes on the road and caught up with a few tattoo artists I have been chatting with.

Trip was VERY interesting and hopefully I can let you all in on the news soon!

Lots happening in The Hardballers camp. Just completed our first two six-page teaser episodes and will be showcasing them soon. We are now working on our first full length issue and revving that engine just a little more.

Hollywood keeps knockin so we might have some news for you there soon. I hate to say anything until the money is in the bank and the contracts are signed, so when I am 100% certain I'll fill you in.

Here's a couple of early bike samples I was playing with when I first started to develop the concept for The Hardballers. I spent a lot of time talking to various builders during the development of a new magazine I have been working on called Forge. The Hardballers actually developed out of that publication as I started to think of ways to further target my demographic. Forge magazine will be launching soon.

We've added this cool little Hardballers trailer to add a bit of OOOMPH to the page... this was sent in by a fan and we want to thank Saul for all the hard work.

We received a few photos of a beautiful Toronto model named Leia who thought she would suit our Hardballer Girls gallery. If you or someone you know thinks they might be just the model to emulate one of our lovely Hardballers, please send in your photos. Click on the thumbnail of Leia to view her images.

Just completing a relaunching of The Hardballers website. As we have developed the project, we have changed much of the art and finally settled on an outstanding team. You can read more about our talented group of artists on our about the hardballers page.

I am new to comic book publishing but my background in music and magazine publishing and I have built my career on creating something out of nothing, yet I am constantly amazed at the work these artists continue to provide.

Here is the development of page #1 from The Hardballer 6-page teaser...
