bomb squad españa (The secret street show spanning from detroit, to hamtramck (hatch-Jail cell), through la ciudad de mÉxico y New York city. (s/0 to nathi)

Summer 2024 was a blast. I won’t speak much on the bullshit, but there was a Secret Show stretching from Summer of 2023 into August 2024. Anyone who knows the history of Blank Komix knows it started under the delusion that I was in an avant-garde graffiti crew bombing in PA. Thinking you’re multiple people is pretty cool until you steal your own girlfriend and cheat on yourself with yourself.Any…

DIG THIS SHIT?!?

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this thing. I honestly sometimes forget I still have a WordPress. A lot has happened since I last posted. I’ll keep this shit short and sweet. Before Blank Komix was Blank Komix, I was solely publishing “City Hare”. The first place the floppies were sold was at “They Say” in Detroit, during open mic night. This was during Detroit’s recession (2010-2011 for…

The Sequential Muralist

I haven’t posted on here in a while. You’re about to find out why. When I was an Americorps volunteer, back in 2010-2011, I was looking to do a mural promoting literacy on the Eastside of Detroit. I was so green, I didn’t understand why no one was passionate enough to do the work for free, even though I was in the midst of a semester at the College for Creative Studies. When my term and my…

Blank Komix- A Year in Review

Blank Komix- A Year in Review

I entered 2022 on the heels of an art exhibition at Granny’s Chandelier over in Hamtramck, MI and the completion of my first solo mural, over at See You Tomorrow on Woodward and Chandler (Detroit, MI). To top it all off, I’d just won the Steelkilt Media Festival’s award for Best Graphic Novel script. You better believe I was feeling myself, but the goal was to raise enough money to sustain my…

Fast Times at Lucha Comics

Fast Times at Lucha Comics

i Greetings All! The past year has been full of milestones as I began my first venture outside of entrepreneurship since my initial internship with Marvel Entertainment, Inc. ended (Dec. 2008). As Blank Komix neared its first full year as a legit company, I returned to the work force as an intern employed by Lucha Comics. This was not an easy decision to make, but one thing I try to ensure for…

Action Jackson- The Fox 2 Interview

I hope you all have been well. My apologies for the long span of time between posts. Since my last post, things have gotten very busy. Throughout the months of November and January, I rocked out with We Are Culture Creators. Every Thursday night, I joined artist, Demaciio as a guest live painter at the Red Room, right there in the Hotel St. Regis. Soon after that, I sat down with Amy Lange of Fox…

MAJIC Man

Greetings, Up above you can see what I’ve been up to for the past couple of months. Following the BLK Out Walls mural festival, I got the opportunity to team up with muralist Dennis Orlowski for an apprenticeship on…you guessed it, mural making. The whole experience was very surreal as we closed the generation gap and found common interests. We spent a lot of time laughing and learning. The…

Blank Komix and Environmental Justice

Blank Komix and Environmental Justice

I’m going to tell you a story. It starts back in high school where I met a kid who played in a Livonia garage band known as Gorilla Smith (actually, it was Godzilla Smith, but they were threatened with a lawsuit). We got real tight and stayed friends into college. Through him, I met a couple of other Wayne State students. We did what college kids do, but according to political principles we all…

Notes on City Hare-ish 13-"The Wrath of God"

Notes on City Hare-ish 13-“The Wrath of God”

Have you ever felt like God was punishing you for every time you defied Them? That’s what I felt like as the dust settled upon my return to Detroit, MI. Detroit is where I was born and raised. It is where I began questioning God, challenging God and working to understand Them. It was only fitting that after years of defiance with marriage, divorce, lay offs, terminated employment,…

Diary of a Mad Mofo

Diary of a Mad Mofo

January 2019 saw my release from what amounted to two years of institutionalization. After 10 months in LA County Jail, the Laura Act in the state of California allowed me to bypass a 5 year prison sentence in exchange for 1 year in a behavioral health facility. If you thought the pandemic lockdown was unbearable, imagine only being able to leave your house once a month or for doctor’s visits,…

Blank Komix Goes to Jail

Blank Komix Goes to Jail

It was March 13, 2017. I remember that day exactly, because I’d specifically chosen that day due to it being my area code- “313”. Political tensions were at an all time high as the United States settled in on the reality that Donald Trump had achieved presidency. Each day was a battle with the poor Whites I encountered at BTAC. We were all there for the same things, but some of them had voted for…

An Analysis of “City Hare” vol. 1- “Gentrification”

Well, it appears we’ve arrived at a moment in which enough time has passed where we can start discussing the highly experimental work that is “City Hare” vol. 1. On July 11, 2009, “City Hare” debuted. It was originally published as a weekly strip on a blog (long deleted). After rave reviews from my readers, I decided to turn the weekly “City Hare” strip into a comic book series. From there, we…

STAY TOON’D 4 MORE!

With over 70 days of protests and a global effort to provide political education for those in our masses who are not familiar with the daily struggle between BIPOC and law enforcement, I have been watching. I have been watching, reading, talking, writing and drawing as people cry out for a revolution. Now and then, some of my stuff makes it into the crowd whether it be via a personal narrative,…
