There is a time for promotion, and a time for creating new material. For the past year and a half, more or less, I’ve been…

Author: Scott Story
Scott Story is a freelance illustrator and cartoonist who lives in the Midwestern USA. He has been involved in the comic industry since 1992, and webcomics since 2004. He has drawn comics for dozens of publishers including Image, Amp, Arrow, Digital Webbing, Arcana, Spinner Rack Comics, and many others.
Scott is known for the rich detail, clever storytelling, and organic quality to his art. As a cartoonist, Scott is an all-purpose creator– he writes, pencils, inks, colors, letters and designs. Scott Story has also done advertising art; covers for books, CDs and tabletop games; movie, event and concert posters; interior art for tabletop games; logos and website graphics; and a wide range of other media. Scott was trained in traditional media, such as acrylics and water colors, but now he divides his time between the traditional and digital art worlds. He is in demand for his digital painting skills, used on covers, posters and prints.
As the creative director of Story Studios LLC., he has published two graphic novels, Johnny Saturn: Synns of the Father, and Johnny Saturn: Homeland Insecurity, with two more in the process of being completed. Story Studios has also published seventeen comics, a sketchbook, and a pinup book. He has written articles for Blueline Pro’s Sketch Magazine, and prose stories for print anthologies and the web. His webcomic, Johnny Saturn, is a past winner of the Webcomics Readers Choice Awards, and Scott was a speaker at the prestigious Graphic Engagement academic conference hosted by the Purdue University Comparative Literature Program.
Scott is a member of the Indy Webcomic Group, and he was the creator and a founding member of the highly successful Collective of Heroes, a juried collective of indie superhero webcomics.
Hi, Folks–Here’s a sneak peek of the as yet uncolored cover to Spire City Noir no. 2. Art by Steve Doty, Inks by Mike Vlasity,…
Good Morning, Friends & Readers! It’s a dark and stormy morning here in the Midwest, and a good time for personal reflection. This is not…
Hello, Brave Readers! It is I, Scott, here with news of heroic publishing and daring do! I just hit the “publish” button on Amazon.com’s Kindle…
Hello, Most Excellent Readers! I’m taking advantage of one of my days off today, and getting a bunch of things finished or (in some cases)…
Hello, Friends! I like to keep you up with my creative pursuits, but this has been a week without much of that. Work has been…
Greetings, my legion of supporters! (I’m feeling optimistic, thus “legion.”)
“Spire City Noir” no. 1 is on the verge of going live on Comixology and Indyplanet, and it already is available on Drivethru Comics. Happy times. My plans for self-published world domination are well underway. Ha ha haa haaaa…
There are three versions of this comic available, being the regular edition, the sketch cover edition, and the black-n-white coloring book version. You can get them in physical or digital formats.
Hi, Folks: Yesterday I got my copies of “Spire City Noir” no. 1 and the coloring book version of the same. The colors came out…
Greetings! What follows is a short list of thoughts that bedevil me:
- I can’t seem to access some of my older reviews on Amazon.com as it relates to my graphic novels. What gives with that? Very frustrating.
- A friend of mine felt the need to defend his use of corporate characters in making fan art. I’ve come down pretty hard on fan art over the years, but if other people want to do it that’s fine. It’s just not for me.
- I watched the first two episodes of Netflix’s “Stranger Things.” It’s suitably creepy and intriguing, but I haven’t decided if I’m going to watch any more episodes.
- Bill Paxton R.I.P. 61 is just way too young to pass away. I like him in everything I’ve seen him in. Godspeed.
- I’ve been catching up with Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I hadn’t seen any of this season, and it’s good to have this back in my life. It’s interesting for me to contrast the difference between Marvel TV shows and the CW’s DC TV shows.
- This has been a tough week for me, because a minor procedure on Tuesday resulted in an extremely painful throat infection. I would almost rather have my foot broken again than go through this.
- I’ve been hearing a lot about the Mandela Effect, where perhaps two timelines have gotten merged, or something has been editing actual history but not people’s memories of the way it used to be pre-edit. While I’m sure there are numerous explanations for this, such as mass faulty memories or some such, a part of me wonders if there could be some validity to it. You can see lots of videos on this on Youtube.
Hello, my fabulous friends and conspicuous confreres!
If any of you would do me the honor of reviewing my by graphic novels on Amazon.com, I will send you the download links free of charge. This way, you can read these books as PDFs, CBZs, or Kindle books (which have the wonderful guided-view function and look great on your tablet computers). Email me at scottstory@yahoo.com, and I’ll get you the links. Amazon reviews are terrifically important to authors, because they increase our author’s ranks and help convince would-be readers to purchase our books. It costs you nothing to write an Amazon review, after all.
Now, on to our regular blog post:
