JUST CREATE BABY!

Before getting into issue 2, I want to give a special Raider thank you to everyone who has taken the time to support the development of Raiders Legacy 51.

For those who don’t know, there was a lot of hard work put into issue 1 and the Raiders Legacy 51 website off the ground. In order to make this Raider project happen, I had to pre-write all my blog material three months in advance before the Raiders season even started just in case there were any headaches or setbacks that come with sending mail from THE REAL BLACK HOLE.

First off, all mail sent from a prison facility is like crossing the border, “anything goes.” Not only does all the outgoing mail get re-read and checked for any terrorist threats and contraband, but imagine a 49er fan who is a correctional officer reading, your Raider mail, and all your hard work magically disappear’s “POOF” just like magic.

I’m not saying that’s what happens in the Real Black Hole, where everything is done by the rule book. I’m just saying to imagine, what if? So sending material 3 months in advance is a must just in case I have to re-do a painting or re-write some material for the blog. In the end, my main goal is to get everything out ahead of time so my social media manager can be prepared in advance and ready to publish whatever is necessary from new storyline material to new blog content.

I mention this, so “you” the reader can get a clear picture of why my blog writings are not in real-time. Most blogs publish in real-time where the publisher could respond back to the comments and post being made by their audience. For me, I won’t know or hear how my website or social media is doing until weeks later because of my situation.

The only way for me to see a comment or post from someone supporting me is if the comments or posts are copied and sent to me through the mail via: horseback, snail mail, or a bit of good luck with that. So this is where a big Raider thank you comes in because without all of you supporting me I would still be staring at these concrete walls trying to turn these cracks into masterpieces.

With that said, there has been a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes and it’s all your hard work this is inspiring me to JUST CREATE BABY! Thank you for all your support and I can’t wait to get into issue 2. As for the painting I created for this publishing, it’s dedicated to all men and women who served and are currently serving to protect this great country. It’s called; ONE NATION ONE TEAM

When I created this painting I was just thinking about how we would all be better off if we all took the time to work with each other because at the end of the day it’s all about helping each other out. I know these things are not easy to understand, but if you have a special gift, talent, and have the means to inspire someone, share that talent and help someone shine like that star in the painting I created.

Everyone has a place and responsibility in this great country.

Be a service to your community.

Who is Disecto?

Now, here comes the fun part about doing all this. This is why I enjoy giving you all the behind-the-scenes action, because to create something you have to go through the processes and learn how to enjoy all the ups and downs.

In this case; I’m still learning how to create a comic book.

I did not realize I was painting a bunch of storyboard scenes when I first started. But after reading a book called; MARVEL UNIVERSE by Stan Lee, I was able to get a better understanding of what it takes to make a real comic book.

You will see more of a comic book format coming in one of our TOP SECRET projects called; “RISE OF THE RILLA.”

But for now, let’s get into the creation of issue 2, Who is Disecto?

JUST CREATE BABY!

How Did I Come Up with the Name Disecto?

It was the Raiders VS. Chicago Bears game when ex-Raider K. Mack was tearing apart the Raiders offense. I had just finished creating issue 1, “The Chosen One,” and I was trying to figure out a name for my next character. I already knew my next character was going to be in charge of AREA 51, but what was his role, name, and superpower going to be?

It was the 4th quarter and on the sidelines, you could see the Raiders offensive coordinator looking at his iPad with a punch of papers in his hand trying to figure out how to stop the MACK truck. As I was in the prison day room watching the game, I kept hearing Raider fans say, “stop running the ball to Mack’s side”; “the Mack attack is out of control, he’s just dissecting things out..”

Next thing you know, I’m saying dissect in my head over and over then I finally said; ohhhh… DISECTO…

That’s it… DISECTO, was the perfect name for my next character because I needed a character from AREA 51 and his superpower was going to be able to handle TOP SECRET situations and dissect things out.

So “BOOM” (J.M.) the name DISECTO was created.
