<br />
Good Morning and Happy Superbowl Sunday to all you football fanatics! Myself included of course and rooting for...<br />
<br />
That's my business. ;-)<br />
<br />
As we have moved on to producing Graphic Novels, one of the things that we really like to do are freelance projects. It breaks the tunnel vision of work and allows us to have fun with something fresh and new. Not to mention the $$$ if it should take off on social media.<br />
<br />
After doing some Variant Covers for the Walking Dead, there was further interest with our followers on GOBK Studios. When are ya gonna do more ZOMBIE shit? Well...<br />
<br />
ZOMBIES IN OUTER SPACE 2017. Digital Pencils and Inks by yours truly and Digital Coloring by the legendary King Bola. This was just something I was doing recently while I waited for more pencil pages for the Renegade Rabbi part 2. I really dig the old spooky stuff. Eerie, Creepy, Vampirella...it goes on and of course, Bernie Wrightson and Richard Corben are my heroes in this genre. They are outstanding and I was quite saddened that Bernie has retired due to health issues. Our prayers and well wishes go out to him and his family.<br />
<br />
As for the mission, Scott "Uncle Grumpy" is tearing shit up with a graphic novel in progress, our pages for Renegade Rabbi, doing voice over work and of course building top notch models.<br />
<br />
Mr. Comixnstuff, Jose A. Lopez is kicking ass with his digital coloring and picked up a comic book project and cover. Details will follow.<br />
<br />
So, that will be it for now my peeps. I hope everyone enjoys the Superbowl festivities, don't get too fucked up if you have to drive and eat them wings! Love me some hot wings.<br />
<br />
Until next time...remember...<br />
<br />
Stay Grumpy!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06029059047477523152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870785397192704327.post-81187828352191577512017-01-03T01:56:00.002-08:002017-01-03T01:56:29.063-08:00<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Happy New Year everyone! I know, I know. Its been a minute. But never a minute too late to send salutations to good friends and faithful fans.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Now that the holidays are beyond us, its quite incredible that here we are, our 3rd Anniversary since we started here and very proud of what we have done in so little time.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Awesome.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">As for updates, Work on the second issue of Renegade Rabbi is in the works. The 5th and final issue of SWIIISH has been done for some time and ready for a March release however...</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">The crew had a meeting. It was decided that we will stick to the Graphic Novel mode. Meaning, it gives us more room to be more creative with our work with no deadlines anchoring us down. In addition, some good advice and feedback with our submissions to Los Angeles and back, prompted us to do so. It was a good decision at the behest of various freelance projects that we are working on.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Hey, a brother has to eat and pay the bills. Correctomundo?</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">With that, we will continue to post freelance work, update you on any Media events we are involved in or producing and of course pages from our series that we continue to create.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">I gotta give a big shout out to the crew. While we juggle our personal lives along with this thing of ours, it ain't no walk in the park. But loving what you do is what its all about. Especially when you can run at your own pace.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">We want to wish you a very Happy New Year and thank you so much for your support these last three years. The future holds much to the eye and faithful so stay tuned and remember...</span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Greetings from the Grumpy Old Bastard Komix Bull Pen!</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Still located in my apartment, but hey… the rent is affordable, the company is good and the crew remains to be EPIC. It has been a very busy year for us, and very rewarding as well. Blessed by some well deserved, commissioned projects, as well as keeping up with our deadline schedule, there is no complaining on our end at all.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">But that is not the reason for this announcement. For three years in the making, today we release The Renegade Rabbi on Madefire, at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2F4JnQj3&h=_AQErxvN1AQFKQszgXvtiNaAkvM-vNcosHeJ4gzz7qdtutw&enc=AZMGc7XjL3rR6U7e7eyZLN7fFECxeobtyBai-lxzrfOE8DLGL-A7GyaXFu_64DBvYikm3j0iTNRdJStBhNsiwCs-jeOK0FwjdF791MxOdEkyL4JLrZpgZdkopSEmqk4bALLvj5j8Gs24fWDNVwXH2W9lUF4w_wTV5dunMIgq1Rw0gS4Hd07J1VF60FLT3-AqCkrGGcKndsr-i_FmLqjF9ix3&s=1"><span class="s2">https://goo.gl/4JnQj3</span></a>, for your reading pleasure for free! Dats right, we said it.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">For free.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">For the above link to work on your cell phone, be sure to have Flash Player installed on your phone's Web browser but it's viewable on all platforms.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">This project was a labor of love between me, and my comrades. Everyone involved worked together and diligently to make this happen. The story starts in World War 2 and ends up in the Old West. I must warn thee that it is a mature read and you should be over the age of 18 to read our book. Profanity, Nudity and good ol’ fashioned blood and guts killing go hand in hand so be forewarned. The popcorn? Well, that’s on you.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">While we continue to experiment on different media to present our readers with a more interesting and satisfying experience, we want to thank our peeps for believing and following us for almost three years since we started. Meeting our investments and financial goals as of now, the rest is…time for more investing and setting financial goals. LOL. This is the way of the Indie Comic Warrior. We make comics, spend doe and pray for a break. It is what it is. But there are other areas we are looking at right now that require our attention and well as interest.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Right now, The Renegade Rabbi saga is being looked at in Los Angeles for a possible run on film or Television. A lot of work into this preparation and I want to thank those who are making this happen. Still in review status but in good hands never the less. When we know more, you will be the first to know. But with media there comes other options that we explored and see fit for regime.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Right now we are starting a live radio show with "ComixNstuff" creator and Bossman, Jose Antonio Lopez. Right hand man, friend and just another GRUMPY OLD BASTARD. You can find him on YOUTUBE and catch us at 1 PM est every Saturday at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/c/ComixNstuff"><span class="s2">www.youtube.com/c/ComixNstuff</span></a>. We welcome people to come on our panel and join us in chats about everything and anything affiliated with Comics…and stuff.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">We will also continue on our schedule for comic releases with time forgiving to other freelance projects we have on the table. Promise.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">So enjoy the Renegade Rabbi, let us know what you think on our BLOG or Facebook. On behalf of our staff, SHALOM!!!</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">…and stay GRUMPY!</span></div>

Greetings from the GOBK Studio Headquarters smack dab in the middle of Hells Kitchen in Manhattan New York! I know its been a minute since I shot a blog out at 'cha, but its been balls to the walls here in the lair focusing on some projects and commissions. Mad props to Uncle Grumpy himself, Scott Williams, who is currently working on a project from overseas colaberating with Joe Rubenstein of Marvel fame. In addition, he is working on the second issue of the Renegade Rabbi in which the first issue will be released in the fall.<br />
<br />
As promised, this weekend we will be releasing the first issue of the MAN SHARK. No better time to do so with SHARK WEEK upon us. This was a character I created when I was a kid and when we launched Grumpy Old Bastard Komix a year and a half ago, there was no doubt that he would make his debut professionally from here.<br />

Enter Dr. Marcus Mills, Marine Biologist. With a deep interest in the Mako Shark species, he brings his experiments to another level when he stumbles upon the cure for cancer. But when he performs the final stages of his experiment, something goes terribly wrong as he enters the threshold of his fate, never to look back.<br />

<br />
There is a very long, personal journey to this character. When my old man first took me to see JAWS back in 1975, I was hooked just as everyone was. One day I made up this character and drew a comic on type writer paper. It was a gift to my dad and lord knows, he is STILL looking for this comic mixed up in the years of his various moves during his lifetime since then. He helped me copyright this character way back then and he never stopped encouraging me or supporting me to make this happen. I fought him tooth and nail over the years because driving a truck put food on the table, not comic books. But lo and behold, the opportunity came and me and the boys from the High School of Art & Design Class of 1980 decided it was now or never to make this happen and so... here we are.<br />
<br />
My advice to anyone who pursues their dreams of partaking in the INDY COMIC business, it would be this:<br />
<br />
IF your in it for the doe, about face your ass and continue doing whatever you are doing. Its a long and winding road with many good and bad lessons to be learned. Money to lose more than you earn and it is no doubt that I have found in this business, that it is the self content and fruits of your labor that will drive you on. Above all that you gave it a shot and that it was FUN! That is the only reason I continue in this business. Because it is FUN. Without that...sayonara.<br />
<br />
From me and the boyz here at Grumpy Old Bastard Komix, we wish you and your families a blessed and safe summer. And as for you beach goers out there, may that MUSIC in your mind join the beat of your heart as you splash in the ocean on a care free, sun filled day. Beware what lurks beneath...the MAN SHARK COMETH!<br />
<br />

Greetings from the GOBK Universe! It has been a minute since I posted our last blog and that my friends, is a good thing. It means we are BIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZY! So here is an update...<br />
<br />
With the launch of our website gobkstudios.com and the release of SWIIISH 4 in March, things have come around quite nicely. The comics started to pick up momentum on the sales end thanks to the website, we have started releasing a webcomic on The Duck and with the drive and talents of our team, we have picked up a graphic novel that Uncle Grumpy himself is doing from over seas.<br />
<br />
The next of our releases is The MAN SHARK. This mag will be out in July for Shark Week. I have to give a big shout out to our Media Mogul himself, Jose Antonio Lopez. Ever since he took over the responsibilities on the P.R. end of Grumpy Old Bastard Komix, things really started to move for us. In addition, I was quite surprised at his art skills. As you can see above, he did an outstanding job of coloring a splash page of MAN SHARK for promotion. There is no doubt we will be colaberating on future projects to keep up on our schedule. In the meantime, Jose handles our FACEBOOK page as well as our UTUBE channel. Currently, we are working on The DUCK Webcomic site so stay tuned for that.<br />
<br />
As of now, the upcoming COMIC CON's that we will be a part of are Newark Comicon, New York Comicon and possibly, Big Apple Con. However, I am making an attempt to make it to Okinawa, Japan for Okinawa Con. My brother Henry "the legend" Ortega resides out there so we have to talk soon about that. The trip would be outstanding! Having served in the Marine Corps and was stationed at Camp Foster in Oki, this would be a homecoming trip for me as well.<br />
<br />
The schedule is on point and running smooth. We are releasing 3 comics a year. MAN SHARK and The RENEGADE RABBI are ready to go, SWIIISH 5 for 2017 is done and will conclude in that series. Right now, the 2nd comic to the RENEGADE RABBI series is on the drawing board as I write this. While Uncle Grumpy Scott is hard at work on the graphic novel project from Europe, I will have to turn up my drawing skills to turbo. But with other talent being recruited, the production part of our THANG will endure for the best.<br />
<br />
Check out our website. Its pretty Kool and kudo's to James Arnett of AIA Productions who kicked ass on developing it. We do offer web designing and if your interested at some dynamite rates please email us at gobkstudios@gmail.com You can utilize your correspondence from our website gobkstudios.com as well.<br />
<br />
So with that, I hope to post another blog before the release of The MAN SHARK. I hope you all have an incredible Spring Season and I will catch you around somewhere, somehow and remember...<br />
<br />
Stay Grumpy!<br />
<br />

<br />
Good morning everyone! Bloggin' from the GOBK HQ in NYC, the crew at GOBK Studios is proud to announce the fourth installment of SWIIISH!<br />
<br />
It has been a long journey with this nasty, sword swinging bitch. 10 years in fact. Done for shits and giggles, her story laid in the back of my closet for the same amount of time between Florida and NYC when I returned. One day I opened a folder and...BOOM! There she was. All 20 raw ass pages.<br />
<br />
So with the help of an associate, with all the powers photoshop made possible, we re-hashed and formatted what was and SWIIISH issue 1 was born. It is with that concept that we launched our first comic for Grumpy Old Bastard Komix and so...the rest is history.<br />
<br />
There is a nice easter egg in issue 4 but I am afraid you would have to get the other comics to find out what the hell is going on. The stories all have a purpose and will intertwine the upcoming issues of other characters. Check out our Website at gobkstudios.com Our store and various other things are there to check out. You can see our Artwork, Facebook, UTUBE channel, Bloggs and much more!<br />
<br />
I have to give a big shout out to who made this issue happen...<br />
<br />
Mario Gully of OMG and King Bola for an EPIC cover! They are leaders in their craft and I thank them so much for hookin' it up! We will see them again on GOBK so stay tuned.<br />
<br />
Bobby Penafiel for helping me color this mag. He came in and took the reigns and did a hell of a job! Another star on the rise and I am proud to say he is the ONLY one to own a GRUMPY Scooter! LOL. He will be back no doubt as well.<br />
<br />
Our schedule is way ahead and since putting up our Website, we acquired a substantial job out of the United Kingdom this year. While the contract is being finalized, I am proud to say that Uncle Grumpy himself, Scott Williams, will be handling this project. A 50 page graphic novel at a well deserved page rate so BRAVO to my man! He deserves it! But no fret, I will be in the wings to help if need be. We are working on the 2017 schedule as we speak.<br />
<br />
With that, MAN-SHARK will be our next release. Look out for him on SHARK WEEK in July of course! So, remember to check out our Website, LIKE us on Facebook and all that other good shit!<br />
<br />
Thank you for all your support and as always, the crew encourages you to always...<br />
<br />
STAY GRUMPY!<br />

<br />
Greetings from the GOBK universe! I hope everyone is enjoying this frigid air in NYC. I am sure as hell not. Cabin fever grips the headquarters here but no fret! Much work has been accomplished at a fast and maddening pace.<br />
<br />
With 2 weeks to go on our release for SWIIISH 4, a lot has transpired on the positive side as the staff has grown, the work on our last comic, The Renegade Rabbi is almost done and the work for 2017 has been on the drawing board for the last 2 weeks. With all that said...<br />
<br />
gobkstudios.com...Our NEW Website went live today. It has been an intense ping pong session with the Web Master himself, James Arnett, but we got her done. It has various pages to check out and NOW if you wish to purchase our books, you can do so by clicking on our STORE tab. I am very happy to have James on board with us. Along with his company AIA Productions, we have a couple of projects on the table for full length animated films. We will keep you updated.<br />
<br />
Speaking of movies, we want to welcome Jose Antonio Lopez of ComixNstuff on board. He is now our SEO/Media Coordinator. He has re-constructed our NEW youtube channel and has put together some dynamite trailers for us with our SWIIISH 4 release. You can also click our VIDEO tab to get there, so don't be shy! He has done an incredible job and we applaud and welcome him aboard as well.<br />
<br />
As always, I want to thank all our supporters for the love and attention you give us. Its been an intense journey since we started Grumpy Old Bastard Komix last year, but with hard work, it is worth every drop of blood, sweat and beers!<br />
<br />
Until next blog my peeps, remember...<br />

<br />
Greetings from the GOBK Studio headquarters! These GRUMPY OLD BASTARDS hope that your Christmas was Merry and that your New Year will be better than ever! 2015 flew by like an Eagle in heat on the snowy plains of what was. It was truly amazing how time flew this year...for GOBK especially.<br />
<br />
If I ever thought that I would embark in fulfilling a dream with some dynamite old friends, I would have told you...yeah, I thought about it for years. Well, that dream came true...for some of us.<br />
<br />
I have to give mad props to all that made this happen. Some who remain in the mix and others that needed to go. Despite whatever transpired to have us pissing in the wind at times while on this journey, well, there is always a shelter of assurance while you take a well deserved piss with the wind upon your back. Always.<br />
<br />
Me and my partners in crime have learned so much this year in the business. Dreams of becoming a comic book artist is one thing. The reality of when it comes down to the wire and your really DOING it...it ain't nuthin that you ever imagined as a kid. It is HARD work my friends. Real hard work. You wear many hats as an Indy Comic Company and if you are going to make it happen, have an open mind, learn and absorb what is best for you to move ahead with your goals, put the right individuals in place and last but not least, treat your partners as you wish to be treated. I am very proud to say, with my financial advantages, everyone on the payroll has been paid promptly. Even some before hand where they really needed the doe. Lessons learned in that area this year with a loss of 900 bucks with work paid for and never received. But some handouts are not even worth chasing. The reputation of such nonsense catches up to them one day. Leave your losses to Karma. If you are going to run a business and get pissed over 900 bucks compared to 9000, then you are on a losing mission already. With loss comes lessons learned, knowledge obtained and strength when it comes to making a just decision in business on the next level. Moving on...<br />
<br />
If I told you that I would have ever dreamed of making two COMICONs in our first year, I would say "whatcha been smokin' playah?" Well, we did.<br />
If I ever told you that I would have never dreamed that I would be holding a comic in my hand created by GOBK...well, we sure did that too. Not to mention, the DVDs and other merchandise that we put out there. It is truly mind boggling.<br />
<br />
The greatest thing that I hold in accord are the friends and alliances I have made through GOBK. The collaborations, advice and good ol' geek talk about what we love, truly a blessing beyond. Indy Comic people rule and we all share the same dream which makes us quite special. Personally, it is not about the money. It will come, maybe not. The fact that you TRIED is the real reward for all of us and within the journey, it opens other doors to many other wonderful things you never imagined.<br />
<br />
There are so many to thank for believing, contributing and showing the love. To our fans and family, there are no words. Truly blessed we are to have you in our lives.<br />
<br />
GOBK Studio role call...<br />
<br />
Uncle Grumpy Scott Williams. My partner on this mission from the beginning and a man of many talents. There is never a day that I am not amazed by something else he pops outta his hat. He is an artist supreme and a childhood friend. Here we are 40 years later making it happen. Blessed we are.<br />
<br />
Henry "the legend" Ortega and Titus Thomas. High School of Art & Design Alumni and childhood friends as well. Their contributions and dedication to GOBK is most welcome and are truly the rocks of the foundation we continue to build. Their knowledge and talents have helped us shine and continue to do so. Blessed we are.<br />
<br />
Fred Davidowitz, Samantha Davidowitz and Mildred Tracy.<br />
My son took over the business part of GOBK. He did so in addition to his own busy schedule to help the old man out leaving me to the creative process of the business. I love and thank him for becoming the answer to the questions of business. I love him and I am very proud of him.<br />
My daughter Samantha who took over the technical part of formatting our work and handling all the merchandising...an angel sent to me 28 years ago. She has taken a huge burden off the old man's shoulders along with her brother and I love and thank her as well.<br />
Last but not least, my wife Mildred. She has put up with the madness since day one. Above the fact that she handles the media end with our DVD's, she has supported this Grumpy Old Bastard unconditionally. With all the sleepless nights I endure upon my workaholic ethic, the vacations and personal time lost, the alcohol consumption, the hostess duties she loves when the meetings at our apartment commence...it goes on. Without her, I would have never made this happen. I love and thank her for being my rock. I ain't an easy man to live with...Amen.<br />
<br />
I want to thank as well...Mario Gully and King Bola for helping us out professionally with our projects. Amazing guys as well as artists.<br />
<br />
Bobby Penafiel, our new colorist to the crew via the Phillipines. He makes every deadline, talented and we are looking forward to much more work with him in the future.<br />
<br />
A big thanks to Mark Boulding and the Alumni Association of Art & Design for hosting us at Newark Comicon and New York Comicon.<br />
<br />
<b>A long time ago, in a lunchroom far, far away...</b><br />
A lunch table fell home to a bunch of high school kids who dreamed of creating comics like their heroes. Kirby, Addams, Colon, Byrne, Steranko, Ditko and much more to mention...Well, here we are. Those kids who grew up to be Grumpy Old Bastards and making a dream come true. Amen.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year from GOBK Studios and remember my friends...<br />
<br />
Stay Grumpy!<br />

Greetings from the GOBK Universe! Today we add the third installment of the SWIIISH saga. A game of Kat and Mouse.With the contract set for the assassination of Damien Komatsu, Angela Mitsuko aka SWIIISH, embarks on her voyage from the United States to the United Kingdom to meet the head of Her Majesty’s Secret Service for instructions. However, it is never that simple when you’re aboard a plane with a killer, an agent and innocent passengers to contend with in mid flight. With the briefing she receives from “The Director”, more surprises come as she goes deeper into her mission and into her long life sustained by the Bio-Cryptic Key.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its been quite a journey since we first started in January of this year. A lot of work and heart to make it happen has no doubt paid off. We are right on schedule with our other projects and have made some room for even more. I intend to make a year end blog for 2015. Much to tell about this journey...but I will leave that to another "secret meeting" between the "BASTARDS" whether I should run it to the REAL. With success comes lessons learned as you go on. Fortunately for us, GOBK recovers quickly and moves ahead with no problem. We have some talented peeps in the bullpen and GOBK will only keep getting better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We hope that your Thanksgiving was blessed and that the Holiday Seasons will bring you and your loved ones everything they deserve. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can purchase our comic at https://gum.co/SWIIISH-3 along with our other issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With that I say PEACE from the GOBK Crew, keep it real and remember...</div>

Good morning from the GRUMPY OLD BASTARD KOMIX headquarters! Still in my apartment but hey, we are still producing at a mad pace.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As we wind down to the finish line for 2015 and with the third installment of SWIIISH 3 being released December 1st, we thought we would give you the triple threat for 2016.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I want to thank the DYNAMIC DUO of Mario Gully of O.M.G. Studios and King Bola for submitting a dynamite cover for SWIIISH 4. We are proud to have had them on board for this project and no doubt, they really delivered. Bravo! Right now the coloring for this issue will be finished off by my buddy Bobby Penafiel and out for March 2016. So Stay tuned!</div>

<br />
<br />
Greetings from the GOBK Universe! You must excuse me while I keep pinching my cheeks because if you were ever with us from the start of this THANG, and even had a thought that we would make COMICON NY 2015 in a matter of mere months...<br />
<br />
INCREDIBLE!<br />
<br />
There is so many to thanks for this opportunity and thanks will be appropriately given once we know all the names. But first hand, GOBK has to give a BIG shout out to The High School of Art & Design and its Alumni Association for this shot! Thinking that 39 years ago when I sat in a lunchroom with the boys and dreamt about this adventure ever coming true in life...WOW! I speak for ALL of them!<br />
<br />
Proving that Art & Design's Alumni really looks out is the topping on this cake and us Grumpy Old Bastards will be forever thankful. Yes sir!<br />
<br />
As we come to the close of the year soon, so much has happened. Changes for the better have been made, the production is going way ahead of schedule and 2016 will be even more promising. We here in the GOBK lair have a juicy announcement coming, but the powers that be have decided to wait until December...so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
So far, SWIIISH 1 and 2 can be found on GUMROAD.COM<br />
<br />
Much thanks to everyone for making that happen.<br />
<br />
I wanna give thanks to UNCLE GRUMPY himself, Scott Williams, for representing GOBK at the H.S. of Art & Design today. He told me he had a blast talking with the new generation of artists that will someday take over the helm and a big shout out to George Alonso of the A&D Alumni Association who arranged to have us down for the day. Awesome!<br />
<br />
So, as another day goes and another begins, we hope that you can make COMICON NY 2015 and come down for a chat. God Bless, be kool and remember...<br />
<br />

<br />
Good afternoon from the GOBK Universe! The BASTARDS hope that your summer was fulfilling, fun and frolicking. As for OUR summer...OH BOY!<br />
<br />
Lots have transpired since our last blog in so short a time.<br />
<br />
As we have made some changes for the positive concerning the business aspect of Grumpy Old Bastard Komix, the fruits of our labor have bloomed and bared a good harvest unexpectedly.<br />
<br />
Our business goal was to work on our comics for 2 years, invest and see where it would take us. Failure was not an option so the latter was the decision concerning the outcome...<br />
<br />
GOBK would become an agency. Representing artists in all aspects and farming in and out work on behalf of our company to various clients in the art and media field.<br />
<br />
That was our latter goal if...<br />
<br />
However, LOL, about a month ago, freelance worked started trickling in from nowhere. What was amazing friends...these jobs had nothing to do with COMICS. Graphics mind you. All inquired on behalf of our page on FACEBOOK.<br />
<br />
Interesting.<br />
<br />
Batting down the hatches and commencing with this voyage, me and Uncle Grumpy Scott turned to our life long friend, GOBK bro and fellow alumni from the High School of Art & Design, Titus Thomas for guidance on the graphic tip. With an extensive career of more than 20 years, Titus set the guidelines and we took it from there.<br />
<br />
Well...Comicon Newark comes and we meet many and major contacts. Major props to Mark Boulding and Titus for the invite and liking our "thang". Again, a major thanks to them both for giving us love. The business cards went to nothing left on the table, merchandise moves, we pack up and call it a day.<br />
<br />
Well, my friends, the cell and opportunities were off the hook this week. Though I am busting at the seems to reveal these projects...I cant. But let me tell ya...All good and the BASTARDS are so overwhelmed and thankful for this exposure and gift from lots of hard work.<br />
<br />
So as this all transpired, the powers that be had a sit down and have decided to move on to the next phase of our vision. GOBK STUDIOS.<br />
<br />
Our intent was to announce this in January but because of the nature of our employment for various clients we have obtained, we decided to expand NOW and accomodate other ventures for Grumpy Old Bastard Komix.<br /><br />
Grumpy Old Bastard Komix will be a branch of GOBK STUDIOS, but our main focus until 2017.<br />
<br />
So there you have it...another day, another op and another step towards the dream. There is much more to announce, but we will keep it under our hats for now. We are very excited about 2016 and you will not be disappointed dear readers!<br />
<br />
With that, enjoy the fall, the colors and crisp air that carries us to Halloween! My favorite holiday! God's blessing and remember...<br />
<br />
Stay GRUMPY!<br />

Greetings from the GOBK Universe! Lots of things going on now that we have come down to the wire. Newark Comicon in two weeks, some changes in the GOBK organization and the release of SWIIISH 2.<br />
<br />
This will be our first CON and as always, we give big thanks to Mark Boulding for the invite and Grumpy Old Bastard Komix pahtna, Titus V. Thomas for the hook up. For the past two months, we have been working every weekend to prepare for this and I must give my applause to our peeps because it would never have been done without them.<br />
<br />
Because of the hectic work schedule, we have decided to make some changes for the better...and for us grumpy old bastards who don't have the stamina to keep up. LOL. But realistically, its really hard work and things have grown so fast for us, it was apparent that we wanted to pursue the more creative end and keep it focused on producing the stories and the artwork.<br />
<br />
Freddy D. has taken over as CEO for GOBK. With his vast business sense in many projects he has been involved with not to mention the success with his own businesses, there was no question that he was the perfect candidate to help GOBK out. He has given me good advice over the past year and I thank him for offering to help and take over the reigns. Also...he is my son. And I am very proud of that boy. No better person to handle the business for dad.<br />
<br />
Taking over on the technical side of things concerning PDF conversions, editing, as well as the franchise items such as shirts, mugs and anything else, is Samantha Marie Davidowitz. She has always helped GOBK when in a jam and of course I offered her this position because when it comes to technical s(*&, this grumpy old bastard just ain't into it. Owning her own business as well, and growing at an incredible rate, I am very proud of her too. An artist like her dad, she makes it happen when it comes to the deadlines.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, we have to thank Mildred Roque Tracy. She puts up with all the madness of this grumpy old bastard, cooks for the crew when we have our meetings and does an outstanding job putting together our DVD presentations. My wife...yes. My rock and partner. She remains to be the mother hen in this GOBK world and we love her so.<br />
<br />
Now...<br />
<br />
SWIIISH 2.<br />
<br />
In our last ish, Angela Mitsuko a.k.a. SWIIISH had the BIO-Cryptic key in her possession retrieving it from her Master and Lords enemy. Only to discover that she was betrayed and to be killed by her Master, and have had a hefty reward for her head, she begins a bloody game of cat and mouse over the years with the clans and assassins who are ready and willing to claim it.<br />
<br />
Eventually, she escapes to America. But as the years go by, the BIO-cryptic key has an intense affect on her. The aging process for her has stopped and the gift of longevity brings also a curse. Even though her body remains forever young, that is not the case with her mind.<br />
<br />
But we will learn more about that dear reader as we go on...<br />
<br />
Being that Angela has no better skill than to be an assassin, she becomes a hired mercenary and hit woman over the years in order to make a living, satisfy her expensive tastes and sexual pleasures.<br />
<br />
As 1964 comes, she is approached with a contract by Her Majesty's Secret Service. Her target...Damien Komatsu. Great, great grandson to her former Master and Lord and now head of the Komatsu Clan. The Komatsu Clan has now grown to be a major criminal empire that has affected the world economy in many ways and it is up to Mitsuko to take them out.<br />
<br />
And so there you have it. This second part of the series will be released August 31st 2015 and you can purchase it on GUMROAD for $2.99... Stay tuned for details.<br />
<br />
Find GRUMPY OLD BASTARD KOMIX on facebook and like our page. Until our next blog, we hope to see you at COMICON NEWARK and remember...<br />

Officially STILL in my apartment, but as we move on...bigger and better things are always a possibility in COMICDOM.<br />
<br />
The summer is almost at an end. A mild one in fact for NYC. But things have been HOT on the drawing boards with the boyz however.<span id="goog_1939873148"></span><span id="goog_1939873149"></span><br />
<br />

<br />
The MAN SHARK cometh as promised. Slowly but surely for a 2016 release. The crew decided to slow it down a bit and take a break for the summer. With the SWIIISH series done with only 1 more story to tie in to finish the saga, I have been pounding the script out and getting the artwork done at a creative pace for the MAN SHARK. So many decisions are still to be made as I continue to put it together. Its a personal project on my behalf and I am quite pleased so far...but never satisfied.<br />
<br />
What artist is?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnhdS3TnCHIXxDXs4mxL92yO-4mK3fjst_FVYLLZZUUz4XGzx6fvBsfy8VgIAvborazqlIb0sYqr9m0ZtDvbPWvOMGNQZWyr8FBL3dxtYtR_WZM1PEW-e8S1vID5uth23kW22_Io94tdE/s1600/RR+1+Page+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnhdS3TnCHIXxDXs4mxL92yO-4mK3fjst_FVYLLZZUUz4XGzx6fvBsfy8VgIAvborazqlIb0sYqr9m0ZtDvbPWvOMGNQZWyr8FBL3dxtYtR_WZM1PEW-e8S1vID5uth23kW22_Io94tdE/s640/RR+1+Page+3.jpg" width="414" /></a></div>
<br />
On the other side of the city, deep in the heart of Queens, Grumpy Old Bastard Scott is whittling away at HIS drawing board on the Renegade Rabbi. The script complete, Scott is also taking his time and handing the pages in as we fit both projects within our schedules, so it is working out quite nicely with good results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And last but not least, down in the heart of Times Square in HIZ studio, Eddie Torres is working on 2 covers and issue 4 of SWIIISH. His coloring skills compliment GOBK since day 1 and he definitely hits a home run every time.<br />
<br />
With Newark Comicon around the corner and New York Comicon still lingering on the back burner, I am very proud of the accomplishments we have made since we started in January of this year. The business and production part of our adventure has expanded and we give a big thanks to them as well as they remain in the shadows until our next blog.<br />
<br />
Until the next time my friends, we hope to see you at the CONS and thank you for your support always and remember...<br />
<br />
Stay Grumpy!<br />

Happy Summer tidings from the GOBK Crew! It's been a very mild summer in NYC, but the creative juices have been bubbling over as we get ready for Newark Comicon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our current DVD that we have posted on our YOUTUBE channel with SWIIISH issue 1 has been getting some great feedback. If was fun (and nerve racking) to make, but the finished product was agreed amongst the BASTARDS that it was FYAH and well done. </div>

I have to applaud my pahtnas. Eddie Torres remains to be ON the covers and coloring duties for GOBK so we will not disturb him for quite awhile. Scott Williams slowly but surely is continuing his great pencils on The Renegade Rabbi saga and as for me...Producing the MAN SHARK by my lonesome and inking/writing the story for The Renegade Rabbi as well. SO yes, we are very busy bees. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are other business ideas on the back burner for now. But we will reveal such as we go on. Until next post, we thank you so much for your support and remember...</div>

As you know by now, we have been invited to Newark Comicon on September 12, 2015. This was a gift to what we have been trying to do since we started. January 2015 has been our launch date and man...it's been rollin' and blowin' up rapidly ever since.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
But there is no doubt that we must thank all our fans and supporters since the begining. Yes sir! Without an audience, there would be no GOBK and thank god that we do. An incredible one. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we gear up for September, the boyz, in addition to working on our current projects, have stepped it up a bit. We have ordered supplies, shirts, high quality prints of SWIIISH 1 and 2, a kick ass banner so that you can spot us immediately at a CON near you, and cards containing our issues and art that we will be more than happy to sign for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that is the tip of the iceberg. May I continue?...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been no doubt that our videos have been giving us quite a boost. We have had MAD fun doing them and we thought you would enjoy the bizzare and krazy shit that goes along with being a bastard in this crew. We hope you feel more at home and a part of the GOBK universe as we grow and expand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With that, we will be filming at Newark Comicon and continue the kraziness with interviews of key players for this event, artists, celebs and anyone else who wants to be a part of the madness. We encourage you to come on down and have a good time. </div>

Now that we are on the map and selling our comic on Drive Thru Comics, we now have some breathing room to add other titles to our "THANG" at GOBK. As of current, Scott "GRUMPY OLD BASTARD" Williams is working on THE RENEGADE RABBI and I am working on THE MAN SHARK. As mentioned before, the release will be in 2016. We incorporated these characters in the SWIIISH series. The 3rd and 4th issue introduces them so watch out for these issues when we release it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
THE MAN SHARK will be a good story and the art... I will keep it as tight as God allows me to do so. This will be an issue from the heart because the history behind this character means so much to me. If it was not for my pops...well, I hope you enjoy it. With our Editor in Chief/ Colorist Eddie Torres on board, he undoubtedly has our back and we have mad love for him. He is the anchor in this crew and has our respect no doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for THE RENEGADE RABBI, this project has been on the drawing table for 2 years now and with a great cry from those in the circle and outside, it had to be done. You can catch RR's origin in SWIIISH 3 which will be released in August. Pretty intense and as we said, this is an 18 and over MAG kiddies, with a touch of 70's grit, blood and guts. We aint holdin back in our publication so don't hate my peoples. We said this from the begining so hold on to your hats or your skirts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The summer will be upon us soon so stay kool and keep hydrated...with booze!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And remember...STAY GRUMPY!</div>

I was a Marine Biologist...at 16. A prodigy amongst the masses most would say but my life was miserable. The media, the papers and interviews...my god damn parents with their constant pushing to satisfy their appetites to fulfill their arrogance.<br />
<br />
Miserable.<br />
<br />
But my misery was nothing compared to what I had become upon an unfortunate accident...<br />
<br />
The summer of 1975 was epic. JAWS came into theatre's throughout the world and we never went into the water again at any beach without that fucking music playing in our minds. It was a masterpiece done by a young Steven Spielberg and he never looked back.<br />
<br />
The Man Shark.<br />
<br />
I was 13 years old. My dad was off to college as we use to say but in reality, he was in Danbury CT. serving a 5 year stint. I use to draw comics on type writer paper and mail them to him. My old man always supported me in the arts. We joke now that it took me 50 years to take this shit seriously and make something of it and so...here we are. I loved JAWS and sat our kitchen table one day with typewriter paper I asked my mom for and went to town.<br />
<br />
Now of course, you want to hear more but, if I did so, you would'nt enjoy what is to come in upcoming issues we are working on. Tsk Tsk Tsk...be faithful fans and await what is coming your way.<br />
<br />
We have news coming your way. Good news. Be patient as we are. Our editor in chief, Eddie Torres is a perfectionist and has the undertaking of making our project the best it can be. So stay tuned.<br />
<br />
The weather is fabulous, the winter is over and the spring and summer...enjoy. The best from our crazy crew and remember...<br />
<br />
Stay GRUMPY!<br />

WAY back. SWIIISH is a mere part of the Grumpy universe. It evolves around Connie Quasar. Four bio-cyptic keys that fell to earth. If you followed our blog, and you should, you would know the origin of this affair. So get busy!<br />
<br />
This was a brainchild of Scott Williams. Not of the Jim Lee team. An alumni of Art and Design High School here in NYC. The illustration presented for you was done in 1989. When Scott brought this to my office today, I was floored! Our THANG at Grumpy is about the 60's and 70's flavor. It was raw back then on many levels. When I saw this piece, it took me back to the 70's when my room was littered with fluorescent posters and a big old black light to enhance the mood.<br />
<br />
What intrigued me most was the peaceful look on Connie's face while Barry White sang his lullaby to put her to sleep. What better maestro of the 70's to do so?<br />
<br />
So while we continue to get the bugs in order so to speak on our issue of SWIIISH 1 through 4, stay tuned. It's coming soon to a website near you!<br />
<br />
We thank you for your support and interest and remember...<br />
<br />
Stay GRUMPY!<br />

Spring is finally upon us. The leaves have started to sprout on the trees, the weather is finally allowing the sun to warm us up slowly...and the grumpy old bastards have finally come out of hibernation from a cold, heartless winter with some incredible work done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We apologize to our peeps for being off the radar for a spell, but we have been VERY busy making it happen for our SWIIISH series for Grumpy Old Bastard Komix. As of now, one out of two major submissions have been approved for distribution. However, we were not satisfied with our proofs and decided we ain't gonna make our move until it's right. Time is on our side so...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What the hay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As we wrap up issue 4 of SWIIISH, we are...well, all will be disclosed soon. More news and updates are on the way via a video and our FACEBOOK page. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until then, and that will be very soon, please keep the faith and hold on to your pistol irons and remember...</div>

Greetings from the GRUMPY OLD BASTARD KOMIX universe!<br />
<br />
As our brother Henry Ortega has touched down in NYC from Japan, we are excited that our meeting this Sunday will include our brother and get down to business concerning many projects, events, merchandising and of course the SWIIISH series.<br />
<br />
As mentioned in our last blog, the Renegade Rabbi will be the topic. The SWIIISH series is on the verge of completion in May and much has to be discussed on the graphic novel we are preparing for concerning the Renegade Rabbi.<br />
<br />
We are taking a different approach on the art and story line concerning the Rabbi. We are keeping it<br />
OLD SCHOOL and since time is on our side for the time being, we will handle this story creatively and responsibly. So stay tuned.<br />
<br />
Lance Tooks of GRUMPY OLD BASTARD KOMIX Europe is well informed in the loop and Titus Thomas is as well. My conversation with Titus was very productive concerning our website and animation goals. Unfortunately, they will not be present for our meeting this Sunday but they are well informed and will be kept in the loop as we move forward.<br />
<br />
With that, a video of our meeting will be taped and downloaded this Sunday.<br />
<br />
Until our next post and blog, thank you from myself and the crew and remember my peeps!<br />
<br />
Stay GRUMPY!<br />

Greetings from the Grumpy Old Bastard Komix Universe. Alot has happened for us so fast and the news gets better and better as we keep on top of our project. The dedication of our crew deserves a big bravo as we move further to our dream.</div>

As we speak, Henry "the legend" Ortega is on a jet coming to stateside from Okinawa, Japan. He is our man out in the far east and he will be a part of a corporate meeting we have next Friday concerning some decisions we need to take to go forward in our 'THANG". Also joining us is our man Titus V. Thomas who will present some options in the animation presentation of our ideas. Of course, the GOBK crew of NYC will be present as well.</div>

As we work on issues 3 and 4 of SWIIISH, the response to the Renegade Rabbi has been quite overwhelming. Many have asked when we are we deciding to launch this character. Well, he HAS been launched and introduced in the SWIIISH prologues. You of course have no idea of this because the other issues of SWIIISH have not been posted. But stay tuned. Our first issue was free. All other issues on a time sensitive basis will be up for purchase for a small fee on...</div>

Well...stay tuned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is so much in the works my friends. Be patient as we MUST be and soon, sooner than you think, all will be disclosed...soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The winter has been cruel yes, but the cabin fever left the GRUMPY OLD BASTARDS inside our fortress of solitude to create and remain ahead of schedule so props to Old Man Winter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again, we thank you for all of your support. And of course...</div>

Stay GRUMPY!</div>

Good evening my peeps! Lots happening in the Grumpy Old Bastard Universe for sure. We launched our video last week on Facebook and UTUBE with much success. Lots of feedback on that and we thank all of you for checking us out. We have to allow SOME craziness to our project because if it ain't fun...see ya!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just got off the horn with Japan where the legend resides with his lovely bride and cat, Henry Ortega. He will grace us with his presence and have a sit down with the familia to discuss our upcoming events and business decisions. Some very positive questions have raised our eyebrows to the future and we of course have to make some positive decisions concerning our "thang".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once we kick the rest of the issues of SWIIISH into play where it will be available for purchase at a VERY reasonable fee, we look on to the horizon or rather the sunset to start his own title...The Renegade Rabbi. He has been introduced in the prologue parts of SWIIISH so you will see some origin to this character and get a taste. The character is very different from most western approaches in comics. The story is very interesting...stay tuned. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With that, keep your eye out pahdna! Looking forward to seeing our brother Henry and having another outstanding and fun meeting. Until then, remember...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stay Grumpy!</div>
