Music and Comics?
Recently I have been speaking with and getting to know a dude who goes by “The Import” down here in New Orleans. Originally from France, he has lived all over Europe and now resides right here in New Orleans.
“Import” or Frenchy, as I was instructed to call him, is a man with many visions. Too many? I dont think there is such thing. He is a producer, artist, journalist, designer and Grinder extraordinaire. His latest projects include several print materials ranging from magazines to comics.
The Print – He is currently working on finalizing the first Issue of D@T magazine will features Louisiana music, artists, restaurants and retail as well as some from Mississippi given his trip for Gustav. The Comic Book (which interests me most) is extremely impressive. He has written a comic book specifically geared to gaining indie artists exposure through drawing them into this comic book world/story that he hopes will take off like the Boondocks did.
I think it ties into the video game and music combo thats becoming more and more popular. I have seen a few drafts and they look fantastic and hopefully will be able to assimilate into a more mainstream market for easier cultural absorption. I wish I had some material I could post but unfortunately I dont. When I do I will throw it up here and maybe some of you indie artists out there can hit me up to talk to him about getting your own character.
So until the final note,
