I'm, me...?

Hmm. I notice that other people who blog routinely do an informative post explaining who they are and what they do for any possible new readers. I thought I'd give it a go.

Well, I'm Arthur Dela Cruz, a freelance creative person. At one time I may have referred to myself as an illustrator, which is true. Then for a while I was a graphic designer, and then I was a comic artist, then a writer, and an art director type. Then I would've said I did some work in film, and advertising. Basically, in terms of work, I'm all of the above. So, I think "creative" is kind of a blanket label that covers all the bases. ;)

I live in just outside of Toronto, in a suburb that is slowly killing me from without. I play piano and guitar and have a nintendo wii which I never play because I like games where I get to kill people.

Back to work related stuff, I'm currently developing a comic for OWL Magazine, which I'm finding quite the challenge, as it'sa mystery comic for tweens, and I normally work in mature reader formats.

I'm also developing some newer projects that will hopefully appear in both film and comics. Sadly, these new projects are on hold due to the writer's strike, which totally sucks. I support the writer's by the by.

On a sidebar, I read an article where someone representing the producers/studios stated that "I don't pay my plumber every time I flush the toilet." I think he needs to hire a writer for his sound bytes. Ha Ha.

I try to be funny sometimes.

If I am known for anything, it's for KISSING CHAOS. I created this graphic novel series a number of years ago, and it has done pretty well for itself. The books have gone into multiple printings, and has been translated into another language, and sold all over the world. I was nominated for an Eisner award for the work. There has been interest from hollywood in the series, but I'm keeping a tight rein on my baby.

Currently, you can read new tidbits of KISSING CHAOS in weekly comic strip form on TRANSMISSION-X.

This blog is my space to talk about all kinds of crap, and give running commentary on KC and other projects I got going on...

I love to get feedback on my work and other musings, so feel free to email, facebook/myspace or comment here!
