I saw some of your illustrations for the Skechers Kewl Breeze comics. I was wondering, are those real comics? If so, do you know where I could purchase them? I cant seem to find them anywhere.

They are indeed real! Β No joke! Β They were given away for "free" with the purchase of Skechers Shoes. Β I don't know if you can get back issues via ebay, or from the Skechers Shoes web site; but I got mine by going to the Skechers Shoes' store and asking if they have any extras.
The Kewl Breeze ones may not have seen the light of day as by the time the comic was ready, my freelance boss forgot to send it in to be created. Β At least that's what he told me. Β Maybe it stunk and he got someone else to do it the right way. Β
In all, I did (I think) 10 comics for them. Β They're now still given in Skechers Shoes' boxes, but in compilations titled "Ka-Pow Comics", with 3 stories in each. Β All written by the Skelly's, and if you're lucky, you might get a story from the Grand Poobah (the creator of the comics and characters) John Masse.
The projects were all lots of fun, but I think either they have stopped making them, or my services are no longer needed by them. Β Either way, it was a great deal of fun to do.

Oh, ok. But nice work. Any idea what the Kewl Breeze comics were about? I think I've seen some of the commercials for it. Something about a villain withΒ stinky feet that tries to make kids feet just as smelly as his or something? hahaha, and thanks for the quick reply

Wow. Β The honor would be mine. Β Thanks again for your kind words.
I'm up to my neck in projects right now (never a bad thing), but perhaps in a month or two I can take a break and try to live up to your lofty bar!
