Oh golly, it's been forever and a half since I've made a post. I apologize, everyone. I have been busy with a few things, and if you like, I will tell you about these things.
- I'm working on a comic with my friend Keith. It's been a pretty slow-moving process so far, with partial fault falling on both of us, but I think the idea has a lot of potential. Because the U.S. economy is in shambles and the comic book industry is even worse off, we'll be publishing it online, at least at first. My distant hope is that we can pick up a publisher for a trade paperback eventually, once we have a few solid story arcs completed. Fingers crossed.
- At the same time, I am also working on developing a completely different comic on my own. Also intended for web publication. It's based on a character who's been wandering around in my head for several years, and the story will probably be extremely weird and surreal. Sort of a dark children's-fantasy-style serial adventure for grown-ups. Yes, I realize this concept has no audience. I want to do it anyway.
- The Gargoyle's centennial issue is coming up, and I have paid them money to give me a black-and-white page to fill with the subject matter of my choosing. I've been brainstorming, but I still have no idea what to put on it. I may just wind up drawing girlie pictures of monsters. Or having them rerun the original "HELLO I AM A PITBULL" comic, which I don't have posted online for some reason. I don't have it saved anywhere, either. If they can find it and/or re-scan the original, I'll post it here.
- I've been doodling and writing bad fanfiction when I am feeling intimidated by all my projects. I will never ever show anyone my bad fanfiction, so do not even ask. My shame remains hidden forever.
- So I saw Watchmen last Thursday at midnight
because I am a nerd. The short of it is: It's a flawed movie, but I really liked it. I find that I like it more as time goes by. At some point I intend to write a real review (because that is what blogs are for: telling the Internet your opinions), but I don't feel like I'm fit to do so until I see the movie again. Sometime this weekend. I think I'll have a better idea of what to say about it then. - I thought of writing reviews of all the movies I see, but then it occurred to me that, as a general rule, my taste in movies does not interest people.
- I also thought of starting a "Daily Doodle" feature on this blog, to give me an excuse to post a drawing every day (even if it's a crappy one). Anybody into that?
- My birthday is coming up on March 23. In other news, I'm old.
I'll try to post some new sketches or something by the end of the week. I know I've got you all on the edge of your collective seat waiting for drawings or any other update that is not an awful wall of words.
