Hey y'all,
Something a little off topic. I've been featured over at Twin City Beats website as one of their top 20 artists. Check it out.

Just a quick blurb: with all of the holiday crap going on and James and I personally grascaling the book, QUANTUM #5 won't hit until January. For all of you group members who just can't wait until next year to catch up on things, drop me an email. We'll see what Santa can do ;-)
Best,
Philip

For those of you wondering WHERE THE HELL IS QUANTUM #5:
I've posted 3 pages of preview in the photos section of the QUANTUM Yahoo Group. What it's come down to is that Jennifer Kwon had a death in the family and has had other personal obligations that prevent her from doing the book at this time. It's uncertain as to what her future on the book is, and in the interim I've had to take up the slack. So what you see in the preview section is actually the first Clark/Rodriguez grayscale collaboration. James has been kind enough to lend his photoshop talents to the book, and together we are both coloring issue #5.
(Quick technical aside for all you comic geeks: I am "flatting" pages--filling in solids--and then passing them off to James, who does gradients, effects, highlights and shading. We're both very happy with the results, and we hope you are, too.)
AS A RESULT, I have a clearer idea of what QUANTUM'S schedule is going to be at this point.
**QUANTUM #5 will probably hit NEW YORK RETAILERS and the DREAMCHILDE PRESS ONLINE STORE the week before Christmas** It will then be available through our distributors subsequently.
Your best bet to find it in NY:
MIDTOWN COMICS (online, too)
JIM HANLEY'S UNIVERSE
COSMIC COMICS
SILVER AGE COMICS, ASTORIA NY
I was hoping to have issue #6 done before New Year's, but that's just not going to happen. So, this book will be coming out QUARTERLY beginning in January. Until Jennifer comes back, James and I will more than likely be coloring the book. Bottom line here: I've gone through 3 colorists in 4 issues to no avail. I can't really afford the extra body right now so the art team is gradually getting scaled back.
Anyway, this may be leading up to more staff shake-ups here at Dreamchilde Press. Don't ever let them tell you that making comic books is boring!
More later,
Philip
