Even as a boy, Kyrun Silva couldn't stop creating.
His earliest memories are of drawing characters in his room while watching cartoons on TV. He recalls being "fascinated with everything geeky," but the compelling storytelling and beautiful artwork he found in comics gave root to his enduring creative passion and his current project, Big Tree Comics.
Kyrun founded Big Tree Comics in the spring of 2014, with its flagship title, Shaman's Destiny. Written, drawn and inked by Kyrun, the series portrays the adventures of Malik, a young man chosen by Gaea, the spirit of the Earth, to protect humankind from supernatural beings, demons, and other creatures that mean them harm. The first three issues are available now, both digitally and here at Empire's.
Kyrun is busy expanding his comic enterprise, with a goal to "make Big Tree Comics and its stable of fun and entertaining titles, household names." To that end, he recently launched the webcomic, "Vocabularious," and is hard at work developing two new series for debut in 2015.
Meet Kyrun at Empire's Comics Vault's FCBD Mini-Con
We're thrilled that this busy and multi-talented creator and artist will be on hand to meet fans and showcase his series. Check out his work at bigtreecomics.com and then head down to Empires on May 2 to meet Kyrun in person.
We had such a great time hanging out in the store with Sacramento artist Eric Nguyen. Here’s a photo collage of the event and a link to the replay of our online interview.
I'm excited to share the completion of many years of work. Also, I'd like you to know, that I''ve started a new email newsletter to talk about all my creative work. If you're a fan or just curious, please check it out on Substack.
The year is quickly coming to its end, but the fun is not! Here’s a look at the Black Friday deals, some upcoming events, and our holiday hours for November.
