SLIDESHOW

MY THOUGHTS AS I LISTENED, it started at 5:00pm eastern standard time

5:18
i say 10 is in what the medals represent, they are proven rebel leaders

5:26
haha, yes i bought the rod sterling/richard matheson/charles beaumont  scripts for twilight zone to learn

5:27
many people don't have people in their personal lives who allow them to fail  

5:29
write for you. if you like what you write you aren't failing, and keep writing till you like what you write 

5:31 
what does it mean to be human? you need to know what it means to be human. 

5:34
and also extend the human comprehension to all characters. the hero isn't the only character to approach holistically 

5:36
you did say it before , the writerjapanese anime called "black clover" said he wanted to do that in his anime

5:42
exactly alot of boring science fiction or horror or adventure is in books/movies where the plot isn't existent, it is merely, experiencing someone doing stuff 

5:46
I don't usually write the other. Definitely need to push that forward to learn about myself more 

5:55
are the immortal villains in horror or scifi films , witness characters? 

5:56 
all writers get into habits and regular forms

6:04
I make storyboards that helps this 
writing without dialog in screenplays is vital, so that you can tell a story absent text

6:07
of course, you never know when the doors of imagination open 

6:09
i am on lifewriting, anyone else on the group from facebook? lets create together

6:09
exactly tananarive, the immortal villains in horror are witness characters:) 

6:13
I watched the twilight zone marathon while reading the scripts i had:) 

6:26 
screenplay elements for structure, remember just a template

6:45 beat sheet for danger word
I see, thank you,I felt it was a coming of age thanks for confirming

6:47 they funded the movie with a visual storytelling element

6:48 great story behind the scenes of danger word and crews influence

6:50 danger word was crowd funded for 30,000 dollars

QUESTIONS 7:09

black leadership in the usa will become stronger

@ProfD well 

A = quantity of human beings that want to help other human beings

B = quantity of human beings that don't want to help other human beings

C= quantity of human beings that follow the leader

G1= fiscal effectiveness ( A)

G2 fiscal  effectiveness(C) 

G3= fiscal effectiveness (B) 

G1 > G2> G3 

(A-(B1(G1)-B2(G2)-B3(G3)) )<D

thus, again, the algorithm is simple. Those who don't want to help are more effective. Which again, goes to the nature of fiscal capitolism, which is the core of the usa. 

@Pioneer1 well over 95% of black people were once enslaved which is a pure combination of being incarcerated plus homeless at the same time, so I argue your assertion is wrong that black percentages to either are higher than ever. 

@ProfD well the arithmetic is simple,

A= USA revenue+ wealth in total

B= USA revenue+ wealth owned by: the one percent, the billionaires, the millionaires,  or various other controlling interest like members of the federal government which includes the military

C=A-B= the amount USA revenue + wealth available to the rest. 

D= need to the rest. 

B has always been large enough to make C<D. 

And B being large is fair, the usa is a fiscal capitalistic country. Fiscal capitalism is not socialism or communism. In fiscal capitalism one has the freedom to obtain huge amounts of wealth thus the attraction of fiscal capitalism. China's fiscal capitalism , born from their own socialism, essentially disallows a private sector one percent while maintains a public sector one percent. The government of china is not only has the government share like the usa federal government has, but also the one percent. 

But greed is acceptable in fiscal capitalism and sequentially, Fiscal Greed  which is completely legal in the usa makes (A-B)<D

To rephrase in pure arithmetic terms

(A-B(greed) )<D

case closed. You can not criminalize fiscal greed in the usa. So, the need is honest. Now, if fiscal greed becomes illegal in the usa then .... a different algorithm

@ProfD i oppose the need for the question of why, the british colonies that became the usa and the usa itself throughout its entire history was and is always mostly filled with financially poor people. You seem to suggest that once the usa became the militaristic empire , circa commonly called world war II , most people in the usa should not had been fiscally poor then and after. Militaristic power does not equal spreading of wealth, it never has. No need for the question of why poor . They were poor before and will be after. It is beyond design, it is the way of the country. 

@Dee Miller  no problem. You are  not alone in initial dificulty, I can tell you this for sure:) 

haha! yes, I am glad you liked my use of robert e howard's styling from the introduction to conan to use on the artwork from Rayseb, a black artist. Did you click the deviantart link under the text you like? Did I get a good description based on the image?

thank you again. 

Bill Moyers recalled from LBJ

We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. "I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

The land of opportunity myth is one of the great tragedies of the usa. It's always been  even when british colonies mostly filled with the impoverished. A 1% ofrom each : whites/women/indigenous/blacsk/males/many more

September 1, 2023

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jason Reeves a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jason, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
When you grow up using the change from food stamp purchases as your weekly comic shop money, you learn to make do with a little. You can become very calculating. You learn to save up money, time, and even energy to overcome obstacles. Quiet as its kept, coming up poor builds a kind of conservativeness and a savvy that can navigate you around any ‘No’ response.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
It’s crazy looking back on it. For real, I just wanted to draw superheroes. I just wanted to draw fight scenes and folks that launched themselves into the air and jumped off roofs. I wanted to draw people that saved people…and strangely enough, they saved me. I’m Jason Reeves and 133art is my publishing company. It started out as a freelance illustration business and I’m proud to say we’ve had some distinguished clientele over the years: HASBRO | Esquire Magazine | USA Today | Upper Deck | Wizards of the Coast | Heavy Metal Magazine | Frontline Detroit Coalition | MV Media | Scholastic (…just some friendly flexin’). But I’m most proud of what it is now: 133art Publishing is A Black owned imprint enlisting and co-creating with comic folks who have a passion for storytelling and are dedicated to showcasing the depth and complexity of the Black comics experience. Fresh and unique storytelling, that’s the real flex.

Myself and a growing community of Black creators have grown our own corner of the comics industry affectionately thought of as Black Comix. I get to watch as it becomes fruitful and see my peers come into their own as their own work blows up. We’re having fun and I still feel like the grind has just started.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Building a business from scratch is no easy feat. As a self-taught artist, I’ve had to navigate the worlds of sales, marketing, and printing to establish my comic book brand, 133art.

Collecting clients for freelance or printing jobs doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a continuous effort to put yourself and your work out there, network, and pivot when things aren’t working in your favor. One of the biggest struggles in the indie comics industry, and for 133art specifically, is finding your audience. When I started out, I knew I wanted to create content with Black leads and heroes, but I had to figure out who would be interested in buying that content and where to find them.

Social media has been a key marketing tool for me, with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Peep Game Comics, and my website 133art.com being my go-to places. But in-person events like Black Indie Comic Conventions have been even more effective at drawing in potential customers. MECCA Con in Detroit, Black Comix Day in San Diego, Black Comics Arts Festival in San Francisco, Sol-Con in Ohio, the Black Comics Fest and the Black Comics Collective in New York are just a few of the events where I’ve been able to showcase my work and connect with fans.

But there’s still more work to be done. Wider distribution into bookstores and comic shops is the next step, and it will take time and effort to crack that nut. Building something up from scratch takes perseverance, patience, and a willingness to take things one step at a time. And as I continue to learn and grow, I’m excited to see where the next steps will take me and my brand.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?
Black Comix: African American Independent Comics, Art and Culture.

By John Jennings and Damian Duffy. It was my introduction to the wider Black Comix community when I was starting out. If the amazing art inside doesn’t hook you the bios of some of the best comic creators and artists on the planet will stoke the fires of your creativity.

Many of the luminaries within its pages, who still inspire me today have become cherished friends and peers. Its one of those books that I can crack open to reinvigorate me and remind myself why I’ve taken this journey.
