[comix] DAVID HEDGECOCK ILLUSTRATES KAMEELMAN
ALTERNATE ENDING
Portland, Ore. - May 2, 2003 - A1 Oregon Publishing announces David Hedgecock is the newest guest artist brought on-board to illustrate the
Kameelman comic book alternate ending. For each
Kameelman printed edition, A1 Oregon publishes a fully-illustrated alternate ending and makes it available to fans for free on the Internet! The digital alternate ending is available for viewing at no charge by entering a password protected area of the
Kameelman web site at
www.kameelman.com. A caption box containing the "Easter egg" password is "found" inside the printed version. Hedgecock's pencil illustrations for issue #2 were inked by James Taylor. James is the regular inker on Ron Randall's pencils in the print edition.
Rick Legleiter, President of A1 Oregon Publishing, says, "We are very pleased to have David working with our team. He has potential to score the 'big break' and is currently doing the right things early in his career to build for future success. He just needs the exposure. Overall we are proud to showcase and promote new artists such as David by providing illustrators a break to get more published work under their belts."
As for working on the alternate ending Hedgecock says, "It's a nice concept. It gives people a reason to thumb through the book and take a second look at that great Randall/Taylor artwork. It doesn't hurt to give the audience a little something extra for their $$ either. My main goal was not to screw up."
Hedgecock's other recently published works include two issues of
Rabbit which he wrote, illustrated and lettered for Sharkbait Press, a one shot assignment penciling
Frankenstein Rising for Hominid Press, and
Furrlough short stories from Radio Comix which he also wrote and illustrated. David reports, "I've just completed pencils on a three issue series called
15Minutes which we hope will be out soon and I'm putting the finishing touches on a new Rabbit graphic novel for next January."
On the personal side, David, who resides in San Diego, claims to be an eyewitness to the first landing of the space shuttle, swimming bare-skinned with a school of newborn squid, hiking down and back up the Grand Canyon in a single day, and declaring his U.S. citizenship at the Mexican border on more than one occasion. When asked what he most wants to be known for he says, "As the guy who revived
Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew."
