For this #GiftIndie I am so honored to present an incredible talent that is tireless in his hustle and universe building.
A pencils and inks maestro, he has been building up his RocBottom Universe with franchises that will excite you and keep inspiring those that come behind him.
His comics were the first comic available on an online platform when Lion's Den Revolution (a personal favorite of mine) was published online through legendary The Underwire Online Magazine.

Mentor to many. Creator of worlds. A big artistic and diverse voice in the indie community, he is the creator of the soon to be animated hit Jet Boy (among others), he is Corey "RocBottom" Davis, and he was kind enough to answer a few questions for this series of blogs.
1- What are you currently working on?
Right now we are gearing up for 2022. We will be dropping three webcomics, two animated series, and four new published comics.

The Punch Drunk City , the Babcock series, and Storybook Lane webcomics.

Jet Boy and Shadowclub Karma Animated Series and new issues of all of the above will be on the site and in stores starting in January, along with Lion's Den Revolution.

2- What made you want to create comics?
Lack of representation was a driving force. There wasn't many heroes that looked like me in comics when I was a kid, so I wanted to do more comics for kids that looked like me. 
3- What advantage would you say making an indie comic have over working on a mainstream comic?
More creative freedom, from what I've experienced.
I love the idea of having the ability to create freely without the corporate restraints. I love seeing others have the ability to create at the same capacity.

4- What would you say to anyone that’s on the fence about creating an indie IP?
I'd say go for it. Pull the trigger. The longer u sit on your ideas the longer you rob your potential audience of something fresh and new.
5- What’s your biggest influence?
Jim Lee!
6- What lessons have you learned from creating independently that you wish you had known before you started?
Keep those contracts tight!!! Protect your creative properties and secure your creator owned rights.
7- What do you suggest to indie creators do to make their work stand out on the stands or on virtual stores? Think outside the box. Take a look at what everyone else is doing, and do the opposite.


8- Give us your elevator pitch about your project and why it’d make a great gift!
​Jet Boy is the story of a ten-year-old kid who works for a top-secret government agency that polices alien technology. It will make the perfect gift for viewers of all ages because there's something for everyone in the story. Grab your copy today!

Once again, a huge thank you to Corey "RocBottom" Davis for his time, check out his stuff and spread the word.
Thank you for reading, catch you all tomorrow with another suggestion, and we have a FANTASTIC lineup of indie creators that have been so cool enough to share some insights with us.
So, this Wednesday another interview goes up with the legendary Jimmy Palmiotti. Catch you all next time!
