R.I.P. Mike Wieringo
"the comics industry lost a luminary this weekend - Mike Wieringo passed away Sunday of a sudden heart attack. Details are still sketchy as of this time, but according to close sources, the acclaimed artist had chest pains at some point during the day and called 911, but the responders did not make it in time.
Wieringo was 44 years old. He was a vegetarian, and "one of the healthiest ones of us in the bunch," as his longtime friend and collaborator Todd Dezago described him. Currently, there are no details about services or a funeral.
Wieringo worked every day, updating his blog and website with a constant stream of sketches at MikeWieringo.com. His last sketch was posted on Friday."
Excerpts taken from www.newsarama.com
How do you begin to write a Blog when you are sadden and in shook. Mike Wieringo passed away suddenly taking with him his love of life and art. Leaving behind a legacy of pencil lines brought together to form drawings which touched the imaginations of thousands of people who looked upon it. I for one was a big fan of Mike's work, his Tellos series...and his daily BLOG that he posted on at www.mikewieringo.com...
If anything, this gives me a greater determination to push Tezlon forward...having always been inspired by Mike's work and his own determination to put out page upon page, sketch upon sketch...
rest in piece buddy

Beginning work on the First Tezlon Novel
So i've begun the process of laying out the first Tezlon Novel. I had always hoped that the Comics of Tezlon would weave the stories i have locked inside. I now believe that the Comics serve as a visual reference of the story in my mind, but i now know i must delve deeper and begin construction of the first Book in the Epic series. I never imagined how vast and gigantic a task writing a novel was untill i had listened to some podcasts of different writers, also taking in alot of books as of late. Starting from the beginning is always hard, like i've said before i know how the story begins and ends...but it is the journey the characters take that must be told...stay tuned for details on the Novel.
