Rex Lively, the Small Press Traveler!

It’s been a LONG time, y’all! Almost seven years since I abandoned my post(ing) on the magic of the mixed tape. But while I wasn’t up for writing about all those songs anymore, the blog has never been far from my mind, especially when I need to just sit back and indulge in a few tunes from back in the day.

And now, finally, I’ve figured out a way to combine two of my greatest loves (besides my wife and dog, that is): comic books and mixed tapes! For the last couple years I’ve rediscovered my absolute love of writing comic books and have been diving into it headfirst. I even recently got interviewed about it on the radio! How cool is that?!?!? Everything’s coming full circle!

And for the last couple months, I’ve been working on a new open source character called Rex Lively, the Small Press Traveler, whose adventures are inspired by all these songs I recorded! So I’ll be posting again here from time to time when I finish a new story (I’m working my way through all the songs, starting with the very first song I posted about). If you’re intrigued, head on over to the Rex Lively page and take a look! And if you happen to be an artist who takes a shine to Rex, I’d love to see any stories that arise!
