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
verge of having that "feeling" that you get sometimes as an artist,
where you think you're about to get a ...

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. ...
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 ...
seems like there is a dichotomy between working long days and working short days. 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 ...
I seriously doubt that I'm throwing too many spoilers out there for
this, but I did an interview recently that will be appearing in the
Platinum Studios releases for the month of December. Here's the
special edition, EXPANDED interview from that for all the rabid fans
(probably mostly friends and family actually) that read my ...
in the zone. I had pinched a nerve or something in my lower back,
hip area, last week raking leaves and stuff outside. Bugged me a
little bit while I was in Texas this past weekend, and again yesterday
REAL bad, today wasn’t going much better until probably about an hour
ago. Things all of a sudden got like 1000% ...
