Well, it is time to write yet another blog, within a dismal existence called Kansas City!
I have 2 comic book shows coming up and a new comic book in the works! So I will go into more detail as to both of those....

[link]Yes, I had been a regular at RockNCon since it's inception. It is a show I feel comfortable and welcome with here in Kansas City. It is a combination and celebration of music and comic book arts.
DoDeca-Con will be a brand new show in the realms of Missouri University. I have to drive a long way to be there.
I will no longer attend a Planet Comicon in this town as a creator, as I haven't for 8 years straight! After dealing with the multiple flashbacks and countless lies relating to it. And plus that, I feel like that show has run it's course for me. They can have their liars and their Freemasonry cults who can't write or draw. But I will ALWAYS remain true to my creativity!
[That show don't make any sense to me. If you don't draw or write for a company but can still kiss a significant amount of ass? You get an artist alley table there anyway!? Other then being some sort of so-called political faction!? And plus the FACT that Planet has supported frauds like Rob Granito instead of true creators like myself a few years back!?! IT DON'T MAKE A DAMN BIT OF SENSE TO ME! I saw so many flaws in the set-up of this show, that it never inspired me to want to go back!] I honestly admit that the line-ups in Planet have been very lackluster the last several years. I know what that money goes to anyway. You pay a artist alley table fee or dealer's badge for them, then these third-rate actors who don't give a fuck for get free room and board!? But then you suffer through the underlying hells that go along with that!? Yeah, I don't get fucked over anymore.
I ain't EVER going to have an ignorant promoter fuck my mind like that again! Standing over my car like he did 11 years ago with a stupid cop. Telling people I drew a vagina in his show, when I NEVER DID! Then he continues to make shit up about me to make me out to be something I am not. Just uncalled for! Y'know!?
I mean, if you going to make up shit about me,
AT LEAVE HAVE THE GALL TO BE ORIGINAL ABOUT IT!? The lies and crap, I get fucking sick and tired of! And with good reason!
I mean, as far as to say, I NEVER WAS A PROFESSIONAL IN COMIC BOOKS!? That is stupid! Everyone knows I was doing freelance for Radio Comix and Antarctic Press not for 1 or 2 issues....BUT FOR 6 YEARS!!!
But I am a consummate professional who has paved the way for those who follow. Despite my flashbacks and pain, I KEEP GOING! Without me, those inaugural events would have never gotten off of the ground! [Including Planet, for which I was a founding creator that they snubbed and brushed underneath the rug.]
I am a cornerstone in this KC comic book scene and I know that. It is a very rough area to even make it here creativity. Unless you decide to sell you soul to Hallmark. For which i'd never do! I got out of the Comics Creator Cults a long time ago, not from my undoing. But because people were ignorant and the art scene in KC was over-saturated.
THE TRUE TALENTS are few and far between here. Sure they still have the talents here and there in patches, but the rest is just Illuminati Cults.
But I know I was a pivoting part of that comic book scene! Whether they want to deny me or not here. I do my best to keep going. I am in my 20th year now of freelancing for comic book and art projects. I know I am at one of my artistic heights again, after the heels of doing art for the Conan O'Brien/TBS folks a few months ago and the generosity of Chicago Wizard World.
[Going on a plane was 25 years in the making for me! But guess what!? I AM GLAD I DID IT!]I am not the proverbial naive sheep in Kansas City. For I know I am something greater now. And the people who think and know me, they know this!
Who knows, one of these days, these sheep here will know this about me!
MICKMO IS A NATIONAL TREASURE! Time and time again, I have proven that.
I have seen how Kansas City treats their national treasures here.
NOT VERY FUCKING WELL! The KC area is 5 to 10 years behind on the news anyway. [Ala, the Pitch, The Kansas City Star and most all of the media news outlet here just to water it all down! It is all the same, really.] They would rather do stories on cooking shows and Cub Scouts then my journey with the Conan art thing. It is a disgrace.
But I am appreciative of those who have stuck true to me and what I have gone through.
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!===============================
MY UPCOMING COMIC BOOK!It is of course going to be called THE MASQUE OF TEN-THOUSAND DEATHS! I am on issue 2. Hopefully when I get them back, I will be out on the road once again to plug a true comic book to the masses.
All I can say about it is this...."BAD THINGS, MAN!!!"
Oh yeah, buddy! Just you wait! It was a crazy hard comic book to do....40 pages and I drew 39.3 of them! I will probably be showing off a page or so in the DA as soon as I can. Then any info about the publishing will also come in due time! HORRAY! It is coming!
