Another thing why I´m very excited about working on a new children´s adaptation of the Wizard of Oz is because my dear mother is a huge fan of the story, so there is alot of feelings being used in the creation of this book.<br /><br />Fighting Spirit.- Jackie Robinson and Jim Thorpe: These are two different books from a series called Fighting Spirit illustrated by canadian talent Claude Saint Aubin. These are not biographical books but instead stories of regular people struggling in life but inspired by these two great sportmen.<br /><br />Also Jason and the Golden Fleece is already being sold all across of the United States, you can find them at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or Books-A-Million by using the ISBN 978-1-4342-1172-9 , here I´ll share some of my favorite panels from the book.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtmDk-te79b1tndlZysIj30rKCHW6H9m33KJUskPzJESAyEgHouX8kqtX0QQgEUmWKN-VhOqnEDWjYNmKpwOsrZzp038VdXHDPEk651h9YRNDaBcba8kELdSUxDo8i3Pb2gQ2HYHs3QkA/s1600-h/JASON_stonearchbooks_panels.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 68px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtmDk-te79b1tndlZysIj30rKCHW6H9m33KJUskPzJESAyEgHouX8kqtX0QQgEUmWKN-VhOqnEDWjYNmKpwOsrZzp038VdXHDPEk651h9YRNDaBcba8kELdSUxDo8i3Pb2gQ2HYHs3QkA/s400/JASON_stonearchbooks_panels.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292437483372994754" /></a><br /><br />I think this is all for now, but more news and previews are on the way, cheers !!!Benny Fuenteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511500612337547585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925815399360095645.post-61637143980213206082008-09-07T21:57:00.000-07:002008-09-07T22:02:37.758-07:00Jason and the Golden Fleece<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6h0ogd4hfRR3WipUmqVVxyFsrC9yirECog2-XQoLIYbYqpdgqI_BskaqHXb60su3EGVV2Kb8arFdE-jVWqPmUWOxEfGlhaDU3peGbMH0O3bJo_ZdfS2FY5IQAuqBT-gci7r1kRlmfFaI/s1600-h/Cover_blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6h0ogd4hfRR3WipUmqVVxyFsrC9yirECog2-XQoLIYbYqpdgqI_BskaqHXb60su3EGVV2Kb8arFdE-jVWqPmUWOxEfGlhaDU3peGbMH0O3bJo_ZdfS2FY5IQAuqBT-gci7r1kRlmfFaI/s400/Cover_blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243510443648716930" border="0" /></a>Right now I´ve began production on Jason and the Golden Fleece graphic novel for <a href="http://www.stonearchbooks.com/">Stonearch Books</a>, my pal <a href="http://gordotote.deviantart.com">Gerardo Sandoval</a> is doing such a great work on the pencils, here you can see a preview on the cover, sorry for the watermarks but they´re there to prevent art theft, once the book is published (in a couple of months) I´ll update with a better resolution and watermark free file.<br /><br />En este momento comencé la producción de la novela gráfica Jason and the Golden Fleece para <a href="http://www.stonearchbooks.com/">Stonearch Books</a>, mi compa <a href="http://gordotote.deviantart.com">Gerardo Sandoval</a> está haciendo un increible trabajo con los trazos, aquí les tengo un previo de lo que será la portada, aunque espero me disculpen por las marcas de agua, pero son para prevenir robo de arte, una vez que se publique el libro ( en un par de meses ) actualizaré el archivo en una versión sin marca de agua y mayor resolución.Benny Fuenteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06511500612337547585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925815399360095645.post-67665344802944066892008-08-18T06:56:00.001-07:002008-08-18T07:02:19.421-07:00Fire in the Sky: A Tale of the Hindenburg Explosion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpkgYQqdS0gerQH3_vCt4WORIYwDYagy_fiVnjOYo4gH3KR7iQrnmOnogtEAbBZbXyZlCJxF2MWMti9oduLH3Z_RjKksL27pxap9UrDFpwoFdOyqCIFMw42NDb4P4ejGlPtDz-lpRWQw/s1600-h/hindenburgcover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEpkgYQqdS0gerQH3_vCt4WORIYwDYagy_fiVnjOYo4gH3KR7iQrnmOnogtEAbBZbXyZlCJxF2MWMti9oduLH3Z_RjKksL27pxap9UrDFpwoFdOyqCIFMw42NDb4P4ejGlPtDz-lpRWQw/s400/hindenburgcover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235856851273688418" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Right now I´m working on some illustrations for a new children´s book called Fire in the Sky: A Tale of the Hindenburg Explosion, that will be published by <a href="http://www.stonearchbooks.com">Stonearch Books</a> in the fall, here is a preview of the cover art, the story is by J.
