Let Latter-day Saints Decide If They Want High-Quality Family Media</h2>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
A couple of weeks ago I launched the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/394943856/from-the-dust-the-book-of-mormon-comic">From the Dust Kickstarter Crowdfunding Campaign</a>. The campaign is all-or-nothing. If I do not reach $14,000 by Christmas Day I will get none of the money that has been pledged and From the Dust may not be able to accomplish its ambitious goals.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
For a broad view of what I am trying to accomplish, please read <a href="http://mormonartist.net/interviews/michael-mercer/">this interview by Ben Crowder of MormonArtist.net</a>. The nutshell of the interview says that the LDS industry doesn’t create family media, but rather creates targeted media for independent demographics (teen books for teens, Mom books for mom, dad books for dad, kids books for kids, virtually nothing that we can share together like a Disney film.) It also states that I am capable of providing that family media and that it is needed now more than ever - especially internationally. My work is different, it’s innovative, and it requires the opening of the minds of Latter-day Saints to a new medium for family media besides TV series and movies. This “new” medium is the comic book series, reinvented for the next generation of Latter-day Saints. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
Why Comic Books are the Answer</h2>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The comic book allows me to provide Disney-quality entertainment at a fraction of the cost. In addition, unlike TV and movies, this entertainment can be translated inexpensively and distributed to families all over the world via the Internet. Comics are the <i>most effective </i>medium to accomplish this. I already have my first issue in Spanish and Portuguese, which covers 85% of LDS Church membership. It will be published for free online in January as a service to the 8.5 million Latter-day Saints that don’t speak English and the over 18,000 international fans of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bookofmormoncomic">my Facebook page</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
From the Dust is Self-Sustaining and Financially Viable</h2>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Aside from the artwork, the project is founded upon sound and sustainable business practices, but I do not have the funds in its early stages to get it off the ground. Ultimately, I will need about 4-6 issues published before it become self-sustaining. Until then, I have to get creative to make the project a reality.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
International Latter-day Saints Need Media in their Own Language</h2>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
In the words of Monalisa Cavalcante Buarque of Brazil, who has opened <a href="http://jeitosud.com.br/">this impressive LDS retail store</a> (the second one in Brazil) just last month:</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<i>"We needed LDS media in our own language <b>yesterday</b>. Not in two years. Not in one year. We need it NOW! We're starving out here for quality material and America isn't producing anything that we can use!"</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

Sorry guys but the old Fan Friday system where we chose a winner from an email list wasn't working as well as I'd hoped. It wasn't <i>personal enough</i>. There was no back and forth between us, I just had an email and we'd pick randomly from the email list. It wasn't any fun. And who wants a contest that is impersonal and not fun? NOBODY!

I dropped a few balls while trying to juggle this crazy "Salt Lake Comic Con" and "From the Dust #2" and Inktober sketches and client work and more. Sorry about that. Here's what's up:<br />
<h2>
The Good</h2>
I like starting with good news, don't you?<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I've got interns now at BYU helping me out. They're all trained. That took some time. They help with inking and painting my drawings. I will introduce them if they stick around, which I hope they do!</li>
<li>I'm starting to get the business financials in order. That may not be a big deal to you, but it is if I want to survive my first year! 90% of small businesses fail in their first year. I'm not going to be one of them! If I make it to February 1, 2014 (and I WILL!) then I'll officially have gotten through my first year! Feb 1 is when I published From the Dust #1. At that time From the Dust had just 250 likes on Facebook! Now she has over 18,000!!</li>
<li>I'm hard at work on #2 and it's looking great! See?</li>
</ul>
<br />

The Bad</h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I failed on Fan Friday. We haven't had a winner in weeks! But I'm fixing it with the next post!</li>
<li>I failed on Inktober. I have about 5 more sketches to do and others to scan and post. Will do so soon! I finish what I start! Just late sometimes.</li>
</ul>

The Ugly</h2>
There is no ugly! Except this guy.<br />

Mosey on over to our new Tumblr and see more Inktober sketches!</h2>

No erasing. No color. No digital editing of any kind. Pure ink! I feel this kind of drawing is the "true test of manhood" for an artist.<br />

<h2>
From Mic Shelton:</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"I wanted to take a minute to tell you how I have felt since talking to you. Libby and I stopped and looked out over the room one last time on our way out and we are just so impressed at the glorious creativity mankind has inherited from our Creator. There was such an amazing positive feeling throughout the entire gathering that even the things that might have seemed vulgar or morbid just seemed like another expression of the miraculous power of the human mind and the human spirit. I was amazed, delighted, touched, and soothed by much of what I saw yesterday, but I wanted to let you know that none of it was more inspired or inspirational to me as your little booth and the spirit you carried as you genuinely try to bless the lives of your customers. I have seen many LDS media projects from Living Scriptures to BYU Television over the years, and I find your approach to be carefully considered and carefully executed. I predict we will see it's effects far and wide. To be honest, it felt almost like your project was the whole reason the first SLC Comic Con happened when it did. I predict this Comic Con is a step towards a new age of LDS media and the public's view of the Church in the media..."<br />

"I wanted to say how nice it was to meet you and how impressed I was with your Comic. I read it all the way through on the way back home to Idaho Falls and the only disappointment I had was that it ended!! So get busy buddy cuz I can't wait for the next one!! It's worse than waiting for a movie I'm dying to see.<br />I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!<br />I really loved all the extra education you add. It's such an informative and fun way to educate about the scriptures and I'm so enthralled with the history. I love history and the scriptures but to see it from your unique, fun way, it made it so much more enjoyable.<br />I'm showing it to all my friends!!<br />I love the animals and your art. One thing I can't figure out is what animal Lehi and Laman are. I can see that the rest of the family are cats but maybe you can enlighten me. (We've had family discussions on this one).<br />So, thank you Michael for sharing your amazing talent for art, and writing, and for giving people such a delightful way to read these incredible powerful stories. (At times, Scriptures can be boring all by themselves you know).<br />I'm so grateful for people like you in this world!"<br />

From Dustin Orgill of Digital Hippos:</h2>
<br />
<br />
The stunning art work of Mike Mercer from Spider Comics was one of the most attractive booths out there. From bright colors and amazing design, From the Dust is more than impressive, regardless of the genre or subject. Seriously, even if you don't care about religion or Biblical topics, Mike's talent is a force that has to be seen to believed. Debuting in both print form and iPad app, this series is a breakthrough in more ways than one. Plus, Mike is a super cool guy running a one man show!<br />

Just a few prints left!</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've had requests about my Comic Con prints and because I left out of town and haven't fulfilled some requests, I'm EXTENDING THE TIME YOU CAN ORDER PRINTS TO OCT 8. That gives me a week after I get back to get your order fulfilled if for some reason you missed the prints at Salt Lake Comic Con</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After that any remaining prints will be burned! I only have about 40 prints left, so just a few of each image. </div>

<h2>
Who was Baruch ben Neriah?</h2>
For those that don't know, From the Dust uses seals inspired by <a href="http://ancientroadpublications.com/Studies/BiblicalStudies/SealofBaruch.html">a real artifact found in Israel</a> - the Seal of Baruch ben Neriah, the scribe of Jeremiah the prophet.<br />
<br />
Baruch (BAH-rook, rhymes with Luke) is one of the many unsung heroes of the scriptures. It was his faith and determination that helped Jeremiah's prophecies be heard in the temple, in the throne room, and elsewhere in Jerusalem at the time of Lehi. I would not be surprised if, when the full story is told (after this life when we die), he contributed much to the writing of the Book of Jeremiah as well as other books of the Old Testament.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/jer/45?lang=eng">In an Old Testament chapter strikingly similar to many sections of the modern Doctrine & Covenants</a>, Baruch is both chastised and promised special blessings by Jeremiah, who is clearly the mouthpiece of the Lord to all the true believers of that time.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Comic Con Booth Update</h2>
<div>
I have over 50 fine art prints that I have never offered before. All of these will have the special Seal of Baruch on them. To accommodate this multiplication of artwork, I've had to custom-design towers and furniture that can be transported in your average vehicle but assembled to look very professional.</div>

Spiders are gross!! Part 2 of 2 <!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?-->

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
My best friend, <a href="http://yoursfor8eyes.blogspot.com/2012/09/spotlight-on-genus-phidippus.html">Matt</a>, studies spiders. He specializes in a common but unique spider called the jumping spider (genus <i>salticidae</i> for you science nerds). He's taught me a lot about this cute little oddball of the arachnid world.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<strong>They have style.</strong></h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
When I say cute, I mean it. They're <em>adorable</em>.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4405668173_8a5c6679e3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4405668173_8a5c6679e3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
Yes those big black things are its <em>real</em> <em>eyes.</em> It sports 6 additional, smaller eyes as well. Their vision is unusually keen for arachnids, and I'm pretty sure it makes them better artists. Just look at their fashion sense:
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">

<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
You don't see that kind of pizazz pulled off very often.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<strong>They have honor.</strong></h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
Rather than being gutless sissies that set traps (typical spiders) the jumping spider is a noble warrior that hunts down his prey honorably, and then -- you guessed it -- jumps on them! A dual to the death commences, just like a lion and its prey.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Pmystaceus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Pmystaceus.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<strong>They have strength.</strong></h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
One of the chief characteristics of the jumping spider is his tiny size -barely the size of your fingernail (and that's the big ones). And yet packed in him is remarkable speed, agility, and strength. They set a high standard for their counterparts to compete with.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<b>To sum it up:</b></h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<i>In a world full of trap-setting, blood-sucking assassins, jumping spiders are the little guys that fight fair and pack a lot of punch.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
As a new addition to the comic book industry, we kind of identified with that.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">
You see? Not <em>all</em> spiders are gross. </div>
