Enjoy the Journey - Looking forward to 2016

Looking forward to 2016

www.purrett.com

 In the coming year, there are many projects that have peeked my interest. The task of planning out a year is not something new for me, but in the sense of Purrett Productions as a business it definitely lends to a grander scale.
 I will try and keep it succinct by placing the projects already in motion or currently under development on the list.

NOVELS

LAND OF MISTASIA - KRAYLAN'S SPIRIT (BOOK 4)

Land of Mistasia

  Young Readers - After a tremendous response to the Land of Mistasia trilogy this fall, I have begun working on a new installment to the series. When, the short story, Grace's Quest, was released in early 2014 it seemed as though the story line for Mistasia had been completed. I even wrote a blog about it.
 Yet, after Gossamer Pen, in November 2014 a new story began to develop regard said pen and its origin. Since the end of the Mistasia trilogy, I have been receiving questions about a possible fourth book. Well, I am happy to announce that it is finally going to happen. The tentative release date is April this year, but I will post more information, as well as sample chapters closer to the books release!  In the meantime, here is the epilogue from Gossamer Pen which ties into the new Land of Mistasia story. (Kraylan's Love)
  

WORLD OF ANGORA

www.WorldofAngora.com

  Adult Sci-fi - The World of Angora has been a massive undertaken that has spanned three unreleased novels and a decade of plotting, developing, writing and rewriting. This is truly a labor of love at this point.
  2016 will be the year of Angora, no not the rabbit, the World of Angora. Humags, the tentative title for the first release will make its debut in late summer, probably around August. The first draft was completed in 2012, and needs a second draft this spring before final editing.

  A second novel, titled Factors, is also slated for a release at the end of 2016. This is a separate storyline, but ties back to the whole within World of Angora. It will definitely help the readers understand the scope of what I have spent the past decade planning.
  This story dates back quite a bit further in my attempts in writing for this series. I finalized the first draft of Factors back in 2008, and it has a considerable amount of dust. It will need a strong second draft and edit from my beautiful wife before it hits shelves. This one could possible find itself delayed until 2017, but I am optimistically shooting for a November release.

EDDY & CRIC - THE EDIBLES

 At the end of the first ecletic season of Eddy & Cric cartoons we were introduced to Eddy Kit's nemesis for the upcoming season.  The character known currently as Frank Meyer will announce is evil intentions and his villain name. He will also bring about the beginning of a new group of super villains know as The Edibles.
  This season Gossamer Studio plans to release a cartoon each month from Eddy & Cric. It will follow a comic book style story arch and introduce new heroes to help Eddy & Cric!

THE CONFUSED STORYTELLER
  This new parody series will focus on popular movies from 2016 and intersperse other pop culture icons. The first to appear is scheduled to be MUPPET WARS, featuring the lovable Muppets in the Star Wars universe.

SUPER HEROES' WORST FEARS
  Batman will return in his ridiculous parody cartoon. He will team up with sidekick, Robin, as they attempt to determine the worst fears of super heroes that Batman deems dangerous.

COMICS

KILLER'S ARENA

Coming October 2016

  This will be our first "true" comic book intended for more mature audiences. It will be a part of the World of Angora universe, but actually take place on a futuristic Earth. The comic will follow the life of a man known as The Hunter.
  The initial story-arch has been developed, and the first ten issues outlined so there is plenty of work to do on this project which is also slated to hit in the fall of 2016. I will also most likely not be the artist on this project, but will write the scripts.

DESIGNS
My wife and I have been working on a variety of t-shirt ideas for adults. The name ego Impressions was derived after I had developed a few ridiculous and egotistical phrases. My wife said that I should "put that on a shirt" on more than a few occasions. Those particular shirts have yet to arrive in our online store and probably won't until Fall 2016 at the earliest.
  That has not kept this side of our business from creating other designs; however, as our youth shirts for Land of Mistasia and Gossamer Pen are available with more to come.

EVENTS
 I will continue to make appearances through out the Metro Detroit area in 2016 at Schools, Hospitals, Comic cons, Mom 2 Mom sales and Arts & Craft Shows. If you or someone you know is interested in having Purrett Productions attend an event, just contact me directly at christophermpurrett@gmail.com

Purrett.com - A Year In Review

Purrett.com - A Year in Review 2015

  2015 ushered in a wide variety of new adventures at Purrett.com. I personally took a step away from writing novels and ventured out into uncharted territory. Here is a recap of 2015 for Purrett.com...Enjoy the Journey!

WEB COMICS - GOSSAMER PEN 

Gossamer Pen #1

 This year actually began with the completion of Gossamer Pen (the novel) in November of 2014. After releasing the novel, I found myself working on character sketches. At that time, I had not worked on any comics, but decided to test out my hand at the medium. Since I was in middle school, I had been in art classes and loved sketching and creating different characters. All the artwork in my novels and on Purrett.com came from my own hand (sometimes with assistance from my youngest daughter), so that played a big roll in my decision to start on the comic version of Gossamer Pen.  On February 10, 2015, Gossamer Pen Comic #1 was released on Purrett.com.  This digital comic was originally only available on the website. It consisted of just 6 pages and told the story from chapter 1 in the original novel. That became the overall premise of the comics; each digital issue would be a chapter from the novel, Gossamer Pen.

Gossamer Pen Vol 1

 During the next seven months, five more digital comics were completed. On September 29, those web-comics were combined into a single print comic (which is more like a short graphic novel), Gossamer Pen Comic Vol. 1. That completed the first third of the original novel and introduced most of the creatures that were freed from Kyra's notebook.

PURRETT PRODUCTIONS, LLC. 

In August, Purrett Productions, LLC was formed. It is a small company, basically just myself; however, it is intended to become a family business in the future. My wife, Misty, acts as my editor. My oldest daughter, Lea, is a tremendous writer, mostly of poetry. My youngest daughter, Kyra, is probably the most talented of us all. She is an artist and storyteller. My dream is to one day have all four of us working together within the company, hence the name...Purrett Productions.

There is, however, more to the name than that. I am one of two brothers born to John Purrett and at this time, we will sadly be the last of the Purretts in our line. Both my brother and I have had two daughters, so that played a large part in me titling the company.

  My brother, David, also works with me, mostly behind the scenes assisting in technical areas that are out of my realm of expertise.

  

PURRETT.COM (VERSION 3)

 In August, the new website launched at Purrett.com. As Purrett Productions. LLC became a company, the website moved from ChristopherMPurrett.com to its new home.  It featured an all new color scheme, new logo and streamlined layout. The main focus was the company instead of me as an author. That change in philosophy was largely in part to the broadening scope from solely novels to adding comics, design and animation.  In September, an online store was also added.

GOSSAMER STUDIO

Since I was a child, I loved cartoons. I loved to draw too! I had even spent the past decade writing stories. It was inevitable, with today's technology, that animation would become an integral part of this new company. I began referring to this part of the company as Gossamer Studio. Our YouTube Channel - Purrett, launched in September.

  On October 8, the very first Eddy & Cric animated cartoon was released titled "Meet The Kits". 

Eddy & Cric - The Cosplay (episode 6)

   By the end of the year, Gossamer Studio released 8 cartoons featuring Eddy & Cric, a Batman parody titled Super Heroes' Worst Fears, and 4 kids cartoons.

ego Impressions Designs

Along with Gossamer Studio, we developed another subsidiary of Purrett Productions, LLC. titled ego Impressions. It is the design side of the company that handles logos, websites and creation of any print media that is needed for adversiting, marketing or retail.

  During the year, ego Impressions was responsible for many designs; however, it will play a much larger role in development in the coming year with regards to t-shirt creation for our online store.

Land of Mistasia Heroes T-Shirt Design

2015 held a pretty large scope, most of which happened in the last 5 months. It has been an amazing journey so far, and I can't wait to see what 2016 brings!

Eddy & Cric - The Cosplay

EDDY & CRIC KIT - THE COSPLAY (episode 6)

 Eddy & Cric attend the SUPER MEGA COMIC CON so Eddy can enter into the cosplay contest.  WATCH CARTOON

 This cartoon has been a little while in the making. It serves two purposes for the character Eddy Kit. First, it gives us a look at his sidekick in future episodes, Abby Horance.
 Abby was actually supposed to be his nemesis

Wash Your Hands!

in the original comic strip version (seen at left), but much has changed since that incarnation of Eddy earlier in 2015. Obviously, Eddy now has a wife and the Abby character became more comical during writing...therefore he was relegated to a sidekick in the cartoons. Abby actually made one other appearance; He is visible through the den window walking past the Kit's home in episode 2 - The Costume

   Secondly, it reveals Eddy's true nemesis. Why not villain? Well, I find it hard to call a man dressed in a wiener costume a villain. Frank Meyer is his name, however, we still do not have a name for his costumed character. That is where I am hoping for some help! I am looking for the viewers to name this guy. Check out our facebook and twitter pages to join in on the fun over the next few weeks.

Eddy Kit & Frank Meyer

  An interesting side note about Frank is that the idea for this character came from a comic con that my daughter and I attended a few months back. As we walked through the event we came upon a man dressed like a wiener...no joke! The best part was that he was at the concession stand and WAS PURCHASING A HOT DOG!!! Can you believe that?

 The next few episodes from Eddy & Cric are going to focus on Eddy and his new nemesis.  Abby and Cric will be there too!
