february has come and gone… and boy am i tired. it’s been not-stop here since about october.

my two marvel books are done and will be hitting the shelves this month;  Captain America And The First Thirteen written by Kathryn Immonen and Deadpool Team-up #883 written by Skottie Young. art chores on both are courtesy of lil’ old me. if you are inclined you can pick them up at your local comic shop!

i wrapped the last page of deadpool 883 last week and took a week off. well, when i say a week off i mean caught up on all the things i’d been pushing aside.

i am currently in the beginning stages of my next project for a small publisher. it’s a bit on the super secret side, but i feel it is the opportunity of a lifetime. it’s a graphic novel that is giving me the opportunity to work with one of my creative inspirations growing up. as soon as i can share more i will.

what does this mean overall?

it means that yes i will be busy, but it also means my schedule will not be in a state of chaos. i have the one project on my plate for the next 6 months, along side my small monthly obligation to owl kids magazine. so while my monday to friday will be devoted to contractual obligations, weekends are mine… for my own projects.

so kukuburi will be restarting very very shortly…. give me a week or two to organise my time and my schedule…

i will try and post weekly updates leading up to the stories relaunch.

thank you all for your patience.

best,

ramon.

hello everyone,

i wanted to take a moment a thank you all for your patience in waiting for new kukuburi and take a moment to wish you all a happy holiday season.

life and career have been progressing very well here (knock on wood), which has been a welcome change of pace, however the side affect is that my time is being monopolized by wonderful opportunities. i am currently working on two books and have just signed on to a third for next year. the first two have been announced: Captain America And The First Thirteen written by Kathryn Immonen and Deadpool Team-up #883 written by Skottie Young. I will be handling art on both books, the third book is a much larger project of which i can’t say anything of yet – but it’s a doozy, of which i am very proud to be a part of.

this means things have been delayed on both kukuburi and butternutsquash more than i’d care to admit.

to be honest i don’t know when i will get back to butternut, it’s of a time and an era in my past and i feel i have outgrown it. it’s something i didn’t want to admit and for years dragged on – and as one reader said “we jumped the shark.” i laughed when i read said comment as it hit home. i’d like to bring butternut back in a different form, something more appropriate to the me of now… and i have some ideas, but time will only tell.

kukuburi on the other hand is still alive and well in my heart. despite lack of updates online i am constantly working, when time permits, on the story. whether it’s writing or art. but as i said before it is something i will not rush or pump out for the sake for an update – so hate me as much as you will – but it will be done as my schedule permits. though, i will try and keep you abreast of when new updates will come as best as i can. currently, with the way things are playing out, there will be nothing new posted till february – as at that point i will have a small window between projects that i can utilize. as i get a better grasp of my workload i will post a return date.

if are intrigued you can also keep track of my shenanigans via ramonperez.com or follow me on twitter or facebook.

thank you all again.

a merry christmas and prosperous new year to one and all :)

till next year my friends,

ramón.
