BillNichols
About me: As an EditorFor me right now, my Big Deal is that I'm the editor of Sketch Magazine at http://www.sketchmagazine.net . I like the idea of having some kind of postive influence on a generation of up-and-comers! By tagging some very talented folks, several of whom I've met on my own journey, for articles and such, I get the chance to do that! And we have the Blue Line Art/Afterburn Media Message Board! Check it out at: http://bloodandroses.com/forums Plus, we are starting our blog at: http://www.sketchmagazine.net/, so stay tuned into that! As an InkerI've inked for several companies over the years. Some of my work includes inks on: Spike vs. Dracula #1 (IDW) StormQuest #2, 5, 6 (Caliber/Skyverse) Raven Chronicles #2 and 5 (Caliber) Magus #2 (Caliber) Blood and Roses #2, 3 and Special #1 (Knight Press) Dead Kid Adventures #1, 2 (Sky Comics/Knight Press) Knight's Round Table #1 (Knight Press) LegendLore #3 (Caliber) Hellgirl: Demonseed (Sky Comics) Bill the Bull: Blowtorch Kiss #2 (Boneyard Press) Uncredited pages and inking assists in: LegendLore (Caliber Press) Kill Marvel (Boneyard Press) Scavengers (Triumphant) among others...and I've written some, edited some...all that... Oh, I used to publish my own small press books, like the anthology Amalgam, Jerry Foley's Heath and Clint Hollingworth's Mountainworld...good times... Let's see, I used to be a member (and former CM) of Apa-5 and X-Apa back in my old fan days...oh, I used to be active in ElfQuest fandom, so there... Btw, Here are a couple of things posted elsewhere online that I've done... Spike vs. Dracula #1 from IDW. Here's a preview that's ran on: http://www.newsarama.com/IDW/Spike/Previews/SpikeDoublePreview.htm I inked the middle three pages of the bottom set. and illos for the independent film Zombie Prom http://www.zombiepromthemovie.com/comicartgallery/ . I inked illos #'s 7, 16 and 18 over Joe Corroney's pencils. And I can sometimes be found on a few other message boards (all under the very clever screenname of BillNichols) such as: Ten Ton Studios http://www.tentonstudios.com/forum/index.php Digital Webbing http://www.digitalwebbing.com, penciljack http://www.penciljack.com , Inkers.org http://inkersorg.proboards86.com/index.cgiand Comics Related http://www.comicrelated.com/forumsOh, yeah, Sketch Magazine now has a MySpace page! Check it out at: http://www.myspace.com/sketchmagazineand you can follow me at http://www.twitter.com/billnicholsImportant point:I don't believe that there are enough women in comics, at least out in the open where we can see them creating them or reading them. How can we change that..or maybe just my own...? And I think any place with good comics stuff is a good place to be... Make your days count for something. I'm trying to...

Thanks for the add. Not to be too shameless, but I'd like to point you to my current comic Dusk - http://dusk.ambrosiapublishing.com/. I'm honestly looking for good solid feedback on the story. I'm even willing to make trades for reviews and/or exposure. I'd be willing to do link swaps or even write a script in trade. |

Hi Bill Nichols, thankyou for the watch. :) And as for your comment in your info, I believe there are plenty of women both reading and writing comics. But I don't believe they publicise themselves as widely as men - due to the supposed 'geek' factor, it's not something a lot of women would be owning up to. Of course, many like myself have no such 'problem' with revealing it that others might, especially if our own mothers happened to read comics to start with. My own mother was a big Spiderman / Superman / Fantastic Four fan in the '60s and still loves comic books and movie adaptations now. :) 1 Reply [ Latest posted on May 26th, 2007 9:28 AM ]

Sounds as though your way cool mother started you out right! I'd agree with you about there being plenty of women out there, really, but getting them into the mix more might be a better goal (one I should restate, huh?
Thanks! Bill |
