VIDEO: The man who draws Thor brings art home to mid-Michigan Published: Friday, April 01, 2011 Google http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_DeCaire
This is a story in the Virginia Pilot about an old Bible venture I was working on with Marvel writer Roy Thomas and ex-Marvel editor, Richard Ashford.
School Visitations
If you are an art, math, or biology teacher; you may want me to visit your school and do a presentation on how the core subjects help to create a superhero. You can link to that here or in the navigation bar. By clicking on my hand below, you can see a video showing how I draw Wolverine's head courtesy of The Morning Sun:

News Coverage
Sometimes I get some attention on my little projects and have been featured on television, radio (Joel Alexander WE7-Detroit), and newspapers. I have had blurbs all over the US including 46 of the 50 states, but once in a while I get a huge story that graces the cover of the news with additional page columns like the Virginia Pilot (see at top of page) where I got more space than Tiger Woods and Winona Ryder. I'm not sure how that happened and I've yet to see that topped. I even got the front page of the entertainment section of the Abilene Reporter with a drawing of Wolverine busting a move. I have also been featured in the Dallas Times, Fairborn Herald, Mankato News, and my own hometown stomping grounds which include the Morning Sun, the Midland Daily News, the Saginaw News, and the Bay City Times. I have had stories all over the place and yet I regrettably passed through the cities without collecting them for posterity.
I suppose the most interesting interview would have to be a signing I did for Brownsville Texas. As a community right on the border of Mexico, English was the minority language and my TV interview required a Spanish translator. I felt so...."International."
And talk about 'international', I was interviewed in 2011 by a very popular magazine produced and published in Bejing China; Fantasy Art Magazine. Why they contacted me instead of someone important, I'll never know.
Another newspaper that grandly showcased my art was none other than my university newspaper CMU in Mount Pleasant, Michigan...
As a student at CMU the local university press caught wind of my professional background and thought it interesting that a comic book artist was attending their college. I thought they did a great job plugging my Vampire story and showcasing this pencil illustration...
