Gift Revolver comic grayscale pages (download)

Ayo, peace and blessings. Hey, if you enjoy my work and would like to have these grayscale pages for yourself, you can go ahead and download them. For whatever reason, I have always enjoyed grayscale and black and white work. I converted the pages because I thought it would be cool to have as a seperate collection, kind of like a bonus or hidden song on a cd. Right now I just keep them in a folder on my desktop. Its just a second part of the collection. So if your interested, you can do the same. Ill be posting other pages in this format as I go. Here is a sample page and the download link at the bottom.You will get both covers and pages 1-3. Okay, peeeeaaccceeeee.....

Gift Revolver comic OFFICIAL covers/page 1 preview

Quick addition. Found a host site, so the book should be up within the week. Okay, after a more concentrated look at what me and my brother Steve were putting together, we decided to start off new. The first pages I put together were more of a style and color feel.They will not be used. Just an Idea of what a page of my art would look like with the tools and limited experience I have. Im still not sure what style the art will morph into, but I now have a better idea. Now that we both understand what range the art will cover, we began to start the story from a different time and location. So from here on out, Ill be doing single pages at a time and posting them as time passes.This is merely a page preview for the time being. Currently chopping it up with graphic designer Brian Clark about a website for this book so any reader can navigate the pages and view the art better as well as other cool stuff like character bios, sketches of characters, non color black and white pages, and music from the creators and well as music from real underground up and coming artists that will be featured in the story. All for download. Want to have fun with this, so keep your ear and eyes out for this if you love art, fantasy and music. Drawing, inking, coloring, editing as well as story direction is a pretty hefty task, so im spreading myself pretty thin. Progress may be slow but it will happen. Im also hype to see my brother Steve Gutierrez putting himself out there as the writer of this project. Hes already wrote mad dope shit for me to draw!Hes super talented!We got some cool ideas were throwing around. This is just a page preview, but I do encourage everyone to download the jpeg of this page with the link below. It will give you the opportunity to enlarge the page to view the art and read the opening scene where our story begins!
Feel free to download the page to get a better look. Gift Revolver pg1 download

Jerome Dickens Profiled


I don't call myself a writer. I prefers the term, Realist. I find myself putting a magnifying glass on the issues that most people forget about. I use a brash, direct and blunt approach to highlight the realities of life. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NYC. I now reside in Atlanta, Georgia. Brooklyn taught me how to live, the techniques of independence and survival, and the necessity of being true to myself. Writing is my outlet, my truth, and a way of putting claim to what should be read. I've been told that my writing will pierce your ego, attack your emotions, and drive your intellect.



In April 2010, I release my first publication entitled, Wasted Talent "Wasted Talent" on Amazon.com



Wasted Talent is a statement. It is a vessel for freedom of speech: saying what needs to be said, putting emotions on the forefront, and solidifying truth on paper. Wasted Talent is a culmination of pieces that have been collecting dust over the past seven years. It is a wake up call and a push pass mediocrity.
No longer held hostage by other peoples ideas, style, censorship of truth, or twisting perspective, Wasted Talent is everything that it should be. It is an ode to release oneself from conformity and limitations.
Wasted Talent is a tool to help others. To let them know that there’s somebody out there that thinks just like them and isn’t scared to speak his mind. It is a home for that void some feel when they restrict themselves from the truth. It is a catalyst. It is a pivotal point for reflection and change. Wasted Talent is a vow to never linger in the now.

I'm also apart of a project entitled, Love Taps: Mynes w/ my partner JoVonna Rodriguez: "Love Taps" Tumblr or @Love_Taps. Love Taps is going to be released on February 14th, 2012.

Love Taps: Mynes is our upcoming book. It explores four main stages of any relationship: trying, exploring, building, and creating. It takes you on a journey through our love for writing and each other. The book includes #LoveTaps, or advice/tips from the public, along the footer to show you how limitless love can be.

Also, we started Literacy Lives, which provides Low Cost Editing & Proofreading services to authors, @Literacy_Lives. Literacy Lives is a safe haven for writers looking to learn more about publishing options.

Thank You,


Jerome Dickens

New comic coming soon

I have been a comic book geek since a kid, it was only natural that eventually I would get the idea to do my own. This book will be self titled as "Gift Revolver". The idea is to infuse all of my passions in this book. Those include the supernatural, spirituality, religion, hip hop and art. Ill be inking and coloring this project while my brother has taken over as the writer and co creator. We are jumping in this head first with no experience in this arena. Sure I draw as a hobbie, but I havent taken on this kind of load before. We are currently two pages in on our opening issue and the art looks great, along with a great direction in the story line and writing. We are devoloping as we go. Its pretty much on the fly with ideas that have been sitting around for awhile in the dusty attic of my mind. Below is a concept art piece I did of our main character "Gift". I wont divulge too much about the story. Plan on just having a good time creating and seeing what it becomes. Its already been fun. Super cool going in on this with my brother.

It is drawn on a thick sturdy poster board, the piece stands at 20 inches tall by 12 inches wide.There is some wear around the edges, but it still maintains its beauty. Will look incredible when framed! Next, is my Biggie Smalls portrait. This is a reprint. It looks exactly the same as the original. Since it is a reprint, i can produce several of them. If interested in the original, let me know. This piece comes in a see through frame. The frame stands at 14 inches tall by 11 inches wide.
