Today we’d like to introduce you to Martheus Wade.
Hi Martheus, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My name is Martheus Wade and I am a graphic designer and comic book creator based in Tn. My company, MAW Productions LLC, started in 2021 by producing comic books, graphic novels, brand identity and advertising for comic book companies, entertainment and nonprofit organizations. I got started by showing my portfolio at conventions as well as, once I graduated from the University of Memphis, working for a number of ad agencies and sports organizations around the mid south.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth ride. I don’t think anything is. For us, we have had to constantly evolve while navigating the hurdles of a small business seeking to do big things. We have probably heard “no” more than we have heard “yes”. However, that “no never means, “never”.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I create comic books and art with my wife and son who, together, we make up MAW Productions, LLC. It is a graphic design and comic book production company. Our most popular book has been Shinobi: Ninja Princess which was published by Scholastic. We are currently continuing that book while branching into the story’s future in our new book Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa. Jetta: Tales of Toshigawa will be making its animated debut on Youtube in the form of a motion comic December 12. I’m most proud of our work with those two books and I’m looking forward to working with my son on ideas we are cultivating for our next series.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I listen to a lot of behind the scenes podcasts of different industries. However, I think my favorite is Comic Geek Speak as well as Beyond the Trailer. I also love audio books. I’ve been listening to Creep by Jennifer Hillier and a ton of Stephen King books.
