Saturday, August 19th, 2017Who Else Remembers This Classic Video From SHOT Show 2010?
Tuesday, August 15th, 2017Back in 2010 video parodies of the Hitler biopic “Downfall” were all the rage, lampooning various situations with fake subtitles. When the commercial ACR hit the market, it too, got the treatment and became the hit of SHOT Show 2010. Be careful who’s reading over your shoulder. There are a few adult words thrown in for good measure.

Training Cell on SOFREP TV
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2017A friend of mine, 75th Ranger Veteran Drew Wallace, is producing Training Cell for SOFREP TV. Below is a trailer to give you a feel.
The premise of the show is documenting various training the military, or SOF, does across the country; driving, shooting, climbing, etc. They don’t give away any secrets or anything like that, but just a very high level capability overview, focusing on the location, instructors, the gear, and guys.
Check out Chapter 1 of their Shaw Shooting episode.

Black Powder Red Earth Yemen
Thursday, March 30th, 2017That’s right. The Black Powder Red Earth story is transitioning to Yemen. Current mock ups have it at around 340 pages and in the past, the creative team of Jon Chang and Josh Taylor have consistently added an additional 5-10% of content during execution.
The creation of these comics has been/is a labor of love. They never signed a publisher deal in part because of the lead times involved (typically 12-16 months before the title goes live) but also in part because of editorial concerns. Consequently, they are crowdfunding the graphic novel via Patreon.
BPRE has always tried to depict things as they are or will be. The character voices are based on the ground truth as conveyed to Jon Chang in countless interviews by people who work/worked there. The story isn’t “rah, rah war”, but conversely, BPRE has also never been an anti-war narrative either. What they have always done is to depict conflicts with multiple competing/overlapping interests across multiple interested parties without the need for Russian separatists with nukes behind it all.
They’ve come a long way both as a writer and artist and they think that BPRE Yemen is their most mature story to date.
