What is Micro Brew Studios?

Micro Brew Studios originally began around 1997-98 as Micro Brew Comics, a group of friends gathering together for the first time in order to create comics of our very own.

It was just three of us (Steve Hartley, James Taylor, and I; our friend JD Green joined us a bit later) at the time, trying to make a couple of comics under our own banner. We never published those books, with the exception of a couple of mini-comics called The Forgotten Gods and Beer Gardens, but it was a definite learning experience. Micro Brew Comics was where we first cut our teeth on how to create and publish our own comics.

After a couple of years, Micro Brew Comics evolved into Micro Brew Studios. No longer a small press publisher, it became more of a collaboration of like-minded creators and friends who supported and aided one another with their own works. Besides concentrating on our own projects, we also offered our services on a work-for-hire basis.

This continued for a few more years until we evolved again. We became old hands, so to speak, and our interests moved us in different directions. JD now operates under the Dead Man Press banner, creating artwork for RPGs and commissions. Steve is now a full-time caricature artist, one of the best in the Seattle area. James became a professional inker and the publisher of Rorschach Entertainment. Even I moved past the name, concentrating on my own imprint of comics, Modern Pulp. Micro Brew Studios essentially dissolved, becoming nothing more than a hub site.

Now, Micro Brew Studios has evolved once more. Taking the helm, I've changed the focus of the site to that of an umbrella company, under which everything else I do falls under. Also, it serves as a hub for my other sites and as a spotlight on my own personal works, ranging from design to comics to whatever else I do.
