Latest developments

Good day all Arroyocus here with the latest info on whats going on .First off ,the biggest show of the year and perhaps in the country,is right around the corner,yes it is time once again for the SanDiego Comic-Con. It is scheduled for about a month away in July. For anyone who has never been to one before,I will tell you it is trully a fanboys dream come true. I had the pleasure of actually working one as a vendor a few years back. It is wall to wall everything you can imagine,from comic books to action figures ,to the latest in video game technology and movie entertainment.This year our own Jorge Medina will be working the show ,along side Crazeecomics' creator Sam Vera. Jorge will be working the crowd and making connections while promoting his creator owned title Russ5377, and the co-produced title with creator Jonathan Syphax ,Street Journal,of which I so happen to be the artist on. We look forward to a very productive and successful outcome. In further developments ,my own freelance commissions operation is going very well. I have completed another design, with coloring and digital assists from Mr. Medina. We have yet another logo design job lined up ,as well as a cover design for indie comicbook creator and friend Jemir Johnson. The cover will be for issue three of his soon to be released title,Vigilance, more on that as it developes. As for my own projects I am continuing work on a children's book I have been developing, planned release date is tenatively fall 2010 at the NY Comic-Con. We are collectively also working on other projects related to promoting ourselves further and enabeling us to reach a broader audience,also more on that as it developes. We continue to strive towards our goals, it is at times very challenging yet it always ends up very rewarding. Till next time ,,in the words of the great Porky pig da da da dats all folks.

New Logo! New Member!

Hey guys!

I know it's been a while since our last update on the site. Please forgive us, but there are perfectly good explanations for that... One: We've been working hard putting together the next installment of our flagship title Street Journal! Anibal is killing the pages and they are looking great! The cover for issue three should be making its way to the internet within the next couple of days. Stay tuned and log on to our myspace or our brand new facebook pages for those developments.

Plus, I'm sure by now you have noticed that there's a new MAS Media Studios logo on the site! That's right, we have decided to go with a new look this year. You likes? The new logo belongs to the creative mind of Mr. Robert Nuñez, who has also become the newest member to the ever-growing MAS Media family! We have known Rob for a while and it's a pleasure to officially welcome him here on the website!

What's also in the works is a brand new MAS Media Studios site! And guess who's designing that? That's right, Mr. Nuñez himself! He's a busy bee these days and we expect to see the new design of the site sometime before the end of the year!

Robert also has a secret project in the works that we will unveil when the time is right. I can't tell you much, but I can say this... IT IS HOT!! BLAZING! FLAVORS! OFF THE HOOK!! Or whatever term you kids are using these days to describe amazing work!

I told you we've been busy! But no worries, we will continue to keep you updated and hopefully this time, it won't take close to two months! Aight familia, I'm out!

Paz!
Medinamus!

Comic-Con09 recap

Well the New York Comic-con has come and gone again, all the preparation, the stress, the drama, the behind the scenes last minute shuffling finally all over, whew,,,,time to start getting ready for it all again next year. The show was a major success by all accounts, it was the second for us as a company and with each passing year we step it up a notch. Last year we had a six ft table which we shared, this year we did it a little better and managed to lock down a booth. The booth and the accomplishment of actually lockin' it down was a feat, that while being a symbolic representation of our lil ole company moving up, was not reached without many obstacles to over come. First of all there were many phone calls made missed and returned, messages via email, a lot of going back and forth. Many, many arguments amongst ourselves, and of course, the economy had to throw its wrench at us. At one time even after having been told the booth would be ours it was allegedly up for bidding,,,going to whoever had the money first. With all this we managed to stay focused, our goal being getting in and selling out. We enlisted the aid of some indie friends, Skygraphx (their tees are hot), and Darkvision comics, ( you guys are awesome), and getting in with a booth secured became a reality. Once we were in we did what we set out to do ,,,we sold out. Personally it was a great achievement for myself, I work full time I have a family, and at times I feel I spread myself way too thin, but all the positivity and great feedback from the public made it all worth while. Jon and Jorge I just want to say thank you for reaching out to me and letting me be a part of all this you guys did an awesome job setting up, you both did an amazing job as salesmen and lets keep on doing it,,,,Cant wait for next year,,,also I want to thank the guys sharing the booth with us, lets do it again next year, and to all who support us and our movements thanx a billion,,,,good bye,,,and God bless,,,,,,

RUSS x 4

Hey guys!
The weekend of the biggest comic book extravaganza in New York draws near. Everyone here at MAS Media is excited! Why? Well there are a few reasons! Personally guys, I can't wait for all of you to see what we have in store for you! Just so that you know, when you come to Booth 1901A, you will be able to pick up issues 1 and 2 of Street Journal. What you will also be able to get your hands on is Russ 5377 Project:Prototype. I'm hoping you guys enjoy this first issue of a story that I have been working on for a very long time.

For all of those comic fans who understand the idea behind the alternate cover, (and if you do, come next weekend can someone explain it to me please? heh heh). Just kidding, well in the spirit of "the alternate cover", we have decided to give you four different versions for the Russ 5377 book. Below you will see four covers labeled A-D, tell us which one is your favorite by answering the poll on the right.

We here at MAS have our favorites but we'd like to know what you guys think! See you at the con!

Welcome to MAS News!

Hello all! So as you might have noticed, (or maybe not) the NEWS section has changed a bit. We hope that this makes it easier for all of you to post comments 'cause we love to hear what you all out there have to say. We plan or should I say "I", 'cause I don't want to speak for my fellow "MASonians" when I say this, but I plan to keep these blogs nice and light. That doesn't mean that you will not get some serious information about what we're doing at MAS Media Studios, it just means that when I say "NEWS", I don't mean CNN style stuff. Well that's what you'll get from me. What you get from Syphaxius and Arroyocus is totally up to them! Hahaha.

What you will get from all of us, is the latest and greatest info about upcoming projects as well as developments within our young company. The info will range from what Anibal had for lunch to what conventions we're going to hit next! Jon tells me he has some really important info to share with u all so I will let him tell you about the fact that we will be at the Jacob Javitz center on February 6-8th for the New York Comic con! There you go Jon I got them nice and warmed up for you!

Medinamus signing out ya'll!

Oh and check out the new masmedia store for all your MAS Media Studio needs!
