DK: Any chance fans and potential readers might see "Power Hour" in print at the local comic shop or Barnes and Noble?

JO: That's up to the fans and readers, I think. If there is enough demand, I'd have to be stupid and or brain dead not to put some stuff on the shelves. Now, before Matt says anything, fair enough, I've been accused of both - but never at the same time, playa!

BUT - If we were to put out a collection, or a trade paperback, or anything, it'd have to be special, you know? I love me some dvd special features, so that'd be a real big thing in any Power hour print material. Special features style material.

Sometimes we do things a lil differently in creating Power Hour than most comic creators - or say, even differently from what we do making the Raven! More than half of what we do here is digital, and I'd like to let people see that so they can say. "This looks easy. I can do that, and probably better."

DK: What do you have in store for "Power Hour"?

JO: I think what we have seen so far, and I'm not sure when this interview will go live, but up until now, it's mostly been set up - introducing characters and kinda letting people acclimate themselves with this world and it's inhabitants. Letting em see that this isn't the type of superhero stuff we are used to seeing.

Now that we've done that, it's time to start having some fun! If these are the heroes...what would a "villain" be like in the Power Hour universe? So we start seeing these superpowered people thrown into situations that "superheroes" usually find themselves in and see how they handle it.

DK: Also, Jay can you bring us up to speed with what is happening with "The Raven"?

JO: Yeah, for sure. The Raven...was originally a mini-series that I was self publishing AND self distributing...a LOT of work. So, what we have done is, we have moved the series over to a more accomplished, more established publisher - we signed a deal with Arcana Studios, the Shuster Award winner as Canadian Comics Publisher Of The Year and we will be relaunching the series with an all new #1 issue this year. 36 pages - full color.

The Raven is what brought me to the dance - my baby. You want to make sure your baby has all the advantages other kids have. Want to make sure he's well taken care of and grows up in a good environment, so that's what we have tried to do.

DK: 2006 is here, what plans do you have for this upcoming year creatively and project wise?

JO: DWP is essentially a fully functioning studio in it's own right, and as such we are available to handle illustration contracts - so we have a few of those we are working on in conjunction with the comics stuff. If you need pencils, inks, letters, colors - you name it, we're your hookup.

So, we're doing some contract work on a few graphic design projects, gearing up for the relaunch of the Raven thru Arcana and getting a few other comics related projects set up!

DK: What are the tools or experiences that you put to use as a creator/artist/illustrator (books, sites, education, etc.) and how has this allowed you to develop/evolve as an artist/illustrator and creator?
