wow, I don’t know if my life is stuck
in a proverbial and sort of mystical projection of a game of chutes and
ladders the last 2 weeks or not, but it sure does feel like I’m on a
huge game board right now, and the Universe keeps letting me climb up
one of those ladders only to find myself sliding down a chute a day or
two ...
Been a pretty shitty week. The digital canvas prints I had done arrived this week, and turned out TERRIBLE, so I got in touch with the printer and they made excuses about this or that, and are reprinting but I won't hold my breath. I'll have to just suck it up, crack out the tubes of paint and my brushes and touch up the canvas ...
so yesterday I had a REAL sore back, still sore today, but I realized it was likely a combination of having slept on it wrong the previous night, and also the height at which I was working with my new Cintiq. So after getting some things done, I HAD to rearrange my entire studio so I could work on the Cintiq in a more comfortable way. ...
going to attempt to find that artistic zone again today. there's a
lot of stuff going on this week here, kids are home from school for a
few days I think, and have a couple half days as well. I'm on the

woke up laughing out LOUD this morning. Forget it was only about quarter after 9 and WAY too early for me, I'm dragging now. But what does my wife do? Comes into the bedroom with a camera behind her back. heads into the bathroom asking what was so funny, and as I'm lying there relating the dream to her, proceeding to laugh all over again, ...

2008 is here, and I’ve gotten
caught up enough with work, and taken enough time off to enjoy family
and relaxation here, that I can look back on the great things that 2007
brought to me, and look forward to what this year has in store. I’m not
a big list guy, but there will be lists in this post just to make it
shorter. ...
this morning I took in a copy of
the new Hero By Night hardcover trade, a new issue 1 of the ongoing HBN
series, and a KISS 4K Kissmas special book into my local retailer. The
guys there were impressed with the hardcover for sure. They were also
super surprised to find out there was so much more HBN content online
for ...
So yesterday I got 4 boxes worth of comp copies in here, 2 boxes of
the hardcover collected trade of the original Hero By Night
mini-series, a box of the first issue of the new ongoing Hero By Night
comic, and a box of the KISS 4K KISSmas special one-shot. I'm going to
run through my thoughts on them real quick here.
Hardcover HBN ...

Today, is a short day, probably only around 6 hours worth of work time when all is said and done. 2:45 need to head up to the school for basketball practice, which goes until 4:30. then it’s time to hurry home, eat and get changed to head back up the high ...
