Wizard World Austin / Texas Comic Con

This weekend, November 12, 13 and 14 I will have a table at Wizard World Austin!  I will be autographing copies of Bela Lugosi's TALES FROM THE GRAVE and I will be doing sketches on blank covers of Uncanny X-Force #1, X-MEN #1 and AVENGERS #1.  I have several prints for sale, all including COAs and free autographs.  And I will be doing $10 sketches and characitures!

 Stop by my artist alley table.  I'll be easy to find with my CyberKat 033 banner behind me.

And while you're there, check out Capstone Comics in the venders area near the ladies room.  John has an amazing mass of statues and comics for sale.  And if you stop by the Capstone Comics table or my table, you'll get a 10% coupon to be used at John's store in North Austin at 2121 W. Parmer Lane!

Check out my artist page at Wizard World Austin at http://www.wizardworld.com/maromega.html

 Enjoy the show!

Back in the Comic Book industry!

About two weeks ago I was given the job of penciller / colorist for the independant Austin comic company, Capstone Comics Publishing.  I was given a stack of scripts and began pencilling a story by Rob Bass called Azrael Steals Home.  Right now I am working on the pencil stage of the production and estimate that the phase will be completed within three weeks.  The story will be published later this year, probably in one of CCP's anthology books.  CCP is slated to attend several large comic conventions this year, including Wizard World Comic Con in Austin, TX this November.  I'll be there to autograph books and do sketches for you.

 Cheers,
Mar Omega

Location, Location, RELOCATION!!! Mar Omega UNLIMITED moves to Austin.

 

July 1, 2009 marks a momentous occasion for Mar Omega UNLIMITED.  Our studio will be pulling up stakes from the New York area and moving to the entertainment capital of the United States, Austin, Texas!

 Like many art / media companies, we want to take advantage of Austin's great incentives.  An artist can either break his back and starve to fight for work in competitive markets like New York, or they can find a booming market with less high-caliber competition.  Austin, TX offers comparable pay rates to the New York tri-state area with a third the cost.  The city offers major breaks to filmmakers and is very helpful with letting them use parts of the city for shooting at very feasible rates.

 Anyone who knows me on a personal level (or who has read my biography) knows that I was raised in the panhandle of Texas.  That is far from the reason I'm making my way back to the state, but for the first time in 12 years, I'll be close to members of my own family.  And many of our friends from New Jersey have either moved down there or are planning to in the near future.

 The plans for Mar Omega UNLIMITED are to start up with an in-home studio and shoot sporting events and do freelance work for the film companies in the area.  With an aggressive saving strategy I will purchase or build a small warehouse in the Austin area for shooting my own films and photography.  Much like our New Jersey studio, we will offer our studio, props, personnel and services to other media companies.

 

 Our friends in New York and New Jersey will be missed.  And we look forward to seeing our sideshow and media friends and family in Austin!

New House Fund

As you may have noticed, there is a NEW BUTTON at the top of many of the pages at MarOmega.com and KyraOmega.com that says NEW HOUSE FUND and it looks like the following: 

Here is what the new button is all about.  

     As you all know Kyra and I have been very busy over the past 2 years. We have been working so hard that we never had the time or money to enjoy a wedding reception, a honeymoon, or even a simple party. The reception we tried to have at my parents house in Texas met a horrible ice storm and only a few relatives and friends were able to make it. We know some of you are still wondering why it is you were never invited to the actual wedding and why it was was kept a secret until after it was said and done. I haven't had the time to explain it before, but I will make the time to explain it now.

 

      Kyra's mom had been ill from a mysterious affliction for a long time and three days after we had become engaged she was committed to the hospital. She had a large growth that wrapped around her intestines and uterus and was cutting off the blood supply to her vital organs. Emergency surgery was performed. The doctors told us they almost lost her on the table 2 times and that she was in critical condition. They allowed us to see her after she had received a few blood transfusions. She didn't look good and doctors told us it was a slim chance she would recover, and an even smaller chance that the growth would not return if she did. In a frantic rush we applied for our marriage license and were married as soon as we could be. Kyra's mom wouldn't have to worry about Kyra's happiness or who would take care of her when she was gone. We think it may have been our wedding that gave her the strength to fight, because soon after she was out of the hospital and the doctors told us that the growth would not return.

 

      You all may wonder why now, two years later we are explaining all of this. Truth is, we are getting ready for yet another exciting turn in our lives and we need your support to complete it. Kyra and I have found a beautiful house that is well within our capabilities to afford... However, we simply don't have the cash on hand for the down payment and so we ask for your help! Most couples have large weddings and are showered with gifts, both large and small, from several family members and friends. We have never asked for anything or had the time to invite anyone to a party for that purpose, and in that, we have missed out on our chance. But with this new milestone, we hope our friends and family will pitch in with a small contribution. Any little bit will help in anyway you can! 

       If you ever wanted to buy any of our artwork or services now is the time! Most of the artwork in MarOmega.com has PayPal links from which you can order prints. If you would rather just give us a small donation, you can click on the NEW HOUSE FUND link. If everyone were to donate $10 (give or take) or buy a print, we would have enough money combined with what we have saved to have the down payment and probably afford a moving truck as well! Please help us out, and if you have any questions please ask! Thank you in advance for any help you might give us on this new venture in life! You can guarantee if we get this house we will throw a giant party to thank you all! Wish us luck!

 

Kyra & Mar

Mar Omega Radio!

The latest update to MarOmega.com is a stand-alone music player courtesy of www.playlist.com. As stated on the page, the lyrics by artists on the playlist do not necessarily express the views of Mar Omega or the company, and the playlist's purpose on Maromega.com is for optional entertainment / background audio.

 The playlist was originally launched for www.MySpace.com/maromega, but MySpace eventually rejected Playlist.com players for "copyright infringement". Playlist.com does not claim copyright to any of the music linked to their players and they do not offer music download. Playlist.com searches the internet for music on several websites. If those websites do not have permission to use the songs, that is that website's problem. Ultimately, websites without permission lose the privilage to use the song anyway, so there is no copyright issue. MySpace simply wants its users to use the MySpace playlist (which is inferior because available songs are limited to music profiles).

So now here is the option to listen to the songs that I like while you view the all-new MarOmega.com 7.0! The link to the player can be found at the top of most pages, just under the navigation bar.

 ENJOY!

Mar Omega.com 7.0 Launch!

Mar Omega UNLIMITED is proud to present the launch of MarOmega.com 7.0! The NEW MarOmega.com is 3 TIMES LARGER than the 6.0 version! And the last version was twice as big as the original 5 versions. All of the links on all of the main pages work. As you can see, we figured out the blog engine for the news page. And on this server, we are paying monthly instead of yearly. That will be much nicer on the taxes!

We are working on several updates to the website and the company. As you can see in the SERVICES page, there are going to be many new services available. MarOmega.com 7.1 is going to have all FLASH main pages for the expanded portfolios!

Stay tuned for casting calls for our upcoming movies and commercials.
