To understand the artist all the reader has to do is listening to the voice behind the work. But to understand Jonathan’s particular voice, one only needs to find the truth resting beneath the art. Growing up in the South Bronx, the challenge of finding interesting conflicts was only a few blocks away, but placing that conflict on paper was a longer road Jonathan was willing to thread.

But, as all things, life’s many roads eventually diverged and the themes, emotions and ideas focused in to form his first graphic novel. “Street Journal” was born!

This book is the story of one young man’s fight to change an already turbulent life! Locked in the brutal world of drugs and violence, we are introduced to our two characters in  his six book story arch.

The lead character, Tyreke Miles is an eighteen year old kid who, having virtually no other family of his own,
(other than his mother Sonia, a woman at the center of an abusive relationship), his 2 year old daughter, Melody, and Trish, (the mother of his child), he finds solace in, and leans on his closest family member, his cousin, “Fernando "Fuzz" Cortez , a 21 year plunged deep into the drug game. Still,  there is a moral code to Fuzz! Tyreke, in truth, is all Fuzz feels he has, truly has, and hence, will protect him at all cost, even if he has to give his life to do it! 

As startling as their two lives are, in this tale, Jonathan hopes to show that no character is beyond redemption. In the end, we are all trying to find our way through. Yes, the truth of the inner city is that the shrew could turn at any point, and that the same choices that traps you are the same choices that can free you. As an story-teller, much like his characters, he is constantly in search of truth, constantly growing and learning about the world around him. In that, lies that piece of the world he creates, a world which cries out to the masses that, he hopes, will be look upon with sincerity and love.

MAS BRINGS IN NEW ARTIST FOR UPCOMING, END OF SUMMER RELEASE!




In MAS five year history, there has been a wide assortment of new, impactful artist to come through its doors. From Anibal Arroyo's groundbreaking work on the MAS flagship title, Street Journal,” to Benjamin Keller-Niemen’s preview pages for this upcoming Summers, Action, Hero release, “Lords Of Nevada(Lon);” MAS has been lucky enough to work with some of the independent world's best upcoming creators, but none has raised the bar higher than the work of Luca Cicchitti; a talented artist whose work is now opening up our new Anthology book, “Hot Tales: Bad Asses,” also scheduled for the End of the Summer release. This book consist of eight stories, highlighting tough, kick butt Heroines; but the book is not the only  thing under the spotlight. In this editorial piece, Luca is the guest of honor!

But to find him, MAS had to do something different.  For such professional talent that will knock you out of your seat, we had to look outside of the United States (at least on this project) as far west as Luciano, Italy to find him. Interestingly enough, we first found out about him through the Facebook chat. Luca saw our work and quickly inquired into whether we we're looking for an artist right at the time "Hot Tale: Bad Asses" was in conception. Now, this is a professional artist who have done work for various publications in Italy; so he is no stranger to the field; but how would that translate to an American, comic  audeince where dynamic art and fast action, fixes are the adrenaline shot of the  gendra! Answer: incredibly well!

The beauty in his art is that, each panel tells a story and although, traditional in nature, it’s clean, free flowing style makes it easy for the reader to get immediately swept away into the world, he has created with each image.

Hot tales: Bad Asses,” at the least is a daring action ride from start to finish, creating classic characters, but what I think will happen,  it will showcase a classic artist in Luca Cicchitti. The miracle of it is, MAS was fortunate enough to be one of the independent companies working with him!

So keep an eye out for this artist and look for “Hot tales: Bad Asses,” sold at the MAS Booth debuted at the upcoming NY Comic Convention on October 11-14th. In the meantime, here is some art from “Hot Tales: Bad Asses,” courtesy of Luca Cicchitti.

MAS CHARGES INTO DAY #4

MAS Charges forward for a final day #4

And here we are, day four at The 2011, New York Comic Convention and, what is, the final sales and networking push for our Independent Comic Creators. Sure, we managed to inch in a bit of fun here and there. We took a picture with Optimus, Styled in Bumble Bee and caught a camera shot with Cat Girl(Anibal, you are right. I definitely had to get closer...Holla;)

(To see what i'm talking about, go to the Masmediastudios Facebook to see the pic!)

But the three man team at MAS were well aware that the opening bell was closing in and the rush would begin, so, we raced back to our table and prepare ourselves for the oncoming rush, and boy, did it come!

Within minutes, it looked like a Saturday! The convention packed in and soon, the sales push was on, but one thing became crystal clear. One of MAS'S unsung heros would raise from the ashes yet again. Yep, you guessed it; It's ours Futuristic, butt kicking bad butt(I know...that'a alot of butts in the same sentence, but we can't say the other word. Sorry, this is a family title)leading the sales charge for a second day in a row. True, MAS was on deck, still, it was Russ 5377 that was the headliner, captivating the audience and leading sales and with the final issue right around the corner for release, I dear to say that this rear(didn't say butt, ha, ha) stomper of evil doers is going to become one of Independent Comics greatest Hero's!

But don't forget about the Street Journal Graphic Novel either. Sales did continue for our Young, inner-city writer, Tyreke, as more Street Journal Graphic Novels continued to move. With a brand new cover for the first Graphic Novel, along with the development and launch of the final three stories, that will be compiled into the second Graphic Novel, we anticipate a true Indepedeant Classic!

So, what will become of MAS? Well, we can't let any more secrets out. You have to keep coming back for further developments, but what ever it is, it will be ground breaking!

Also, MAS would like to thank everyone at The New York Comic Con for having us yet another year and supporting us and, on behalf of Jonathan Syphax, Anibal Arroyo and Jorge Medina, we would like to say Thank you. We can't wait until next year, and in addition, we would like to thank, you, the fans, for your continued support and love. We are blessed to have it. Until next time, keep tuned in and to all you New York Convention heads, we'll see ya next year.
