Twilight Star Productions, Springfield Ohio's Newest Art Studio Options

[G-Man]

It's official. The first fully functional art studio in Springfield Ohio in nine years, since the death of Darrell Buffington forced Dragonsound Studios to close its doors, is in business.

Twilight Star Studios named after various projects Gary and Derron Church have had in the works for years will open its doors tomorrow evening as studio founders Gary Church, Derron Church, and myself have our first meeting and discuss future projects that will be produced by the studio. Gary just purchased a very nice house and has set up a very nice room that has at the moment three different art tables and he's working on a place to put a fourth. Writers will have access to a computer station as well, equipped with a copier and a scanner.

Tomorrow we will be discussing how often we should meet at the studio and I'm sure a few names will be brought up to add to the group....I'm hoping Scott Riley is one of those names. Possibly Chris Metzger and Frank Raynor as well.

Gary and I met breifly last night as I got the nickel tour. House is very nice and the studio itself is awesome.

The two of us have already discussed a possible semi-annual anthology series called Twilight Star Presents (or something like that). This book will feature small 6 to 7 page stories will various themes from different writers and artists involved with Twilight Star. The very first of these books could end up including a few re-prints from Wicked Tales. (A Matter of Life and Death with art by the Brothers Church), N.I.B. (with Chris Metzger), Tales From the Longbox (with Scott Riley) and a couple of new stories including a story written and illustrated by Derron and a sequel to A Matter of Life and Death (by Gary and myself).

That's just an idea...it is subject to change.

Other titles that will be kicked around will be my ongoing Prodigy series, a book Gary has in the works called G-Code, and Derron and I are discussing the possibilty of ressuracting the Un-Naturals.

If you are a writer, artist, inker, letterer in the Springfield Ohio area we want to hear from you....

Sounds like the plan is moving along. I'm curious to see Jef's work. Of all the times I talked to him, I don't think he ever mentioned writing or drawing.

You never asked man! Lol Jk, I taught cartooning for about 3 years, but other then that I really haven't done anything with it. I tend not to talk about things I'm thinking about or in the middle of. Just those things that are happening or in progress.

Flatworld is a newer idea that moved along very quickly and fits my art ability, Fallen Earth is a project that is being born out of years of research and theories. So other then a few friends I haven't talked to anyone about any of it.

Bill only knew because he was helping me hash out some ideas the other day, then he asked me to put it in the upcoming project and I told him I'd work on it some more. (Thanks Bill) I didn't know he was going to tell anyone Lol Or I still wouldn't be talking about it.
