Feeling somewhat slightly better... and gettin' stuff done!

Right on, so today hasn't been a complete wash... I've brushed me ol' teeths, drank a pot of coffee, pee'd like an American and sort of completed page 10 of what's going to be my web-comic DEEP SPACE TRAGEDY... I say "sort of" because I have issues with commitment in terms of thing I do... so "sort of" is just gonna have to work for now.

Next order of business is to complete a piece of fan art that I've been threatening to post for some time now... Not sure if any of ya'll are familiar with the Evelyn Evelyn project that was put out by Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley... Well, it's a cool little concept that tells the life story of Evelyn Evenlyn a set of conjoined twins who are orphaned at birth and thus abused throughout their lives until they... uhhh... well, maybe I'll just let you figure that out for yourself (all zero of you who read this). Anyways, it's really a twisted and bittersweet tale and the music in great and imagery is awesome and if you live in a cool city, you've probably had an opportunity to catch it live (I don't live in a cool city and thus haven't had the chance to enjoy it live, so I just draw picture).

Well, that's me for today.

So I made it thru a crap weekend, why not get sick on Monday?


EH! The only reason I'm posting anything at all is because I promised myself that wouldn't fall off of this GD thing... So here goes.

Weekend started out pretty okay... Got to attend a Birthday Zombie Freakfest held in honor of my dear friend Amy Williams. Drank a bunch of that evil evil southern sweet tea flavored vodka had a great time and couldn't go home at the end of it all due to the fact that my AC died (May the owner of Lenox ACs be forced to eat his children in order to make it through the winter). So, the wife and I spent the night at my folks place. Next night we made it back over to the Carroll home where we once again got to burden our loved ones with guests. Got up this morning, came back to the hell pit otherwise known as my home and waited in the heat for the GD AC guy to come and deliver me from my anguish... It never happened because just as I realized the AC was fixxed, I also noticed that I've somehow picked up a bug (and bug that crawled into my body and is systematically shutting down all of my functions and wont stop before he drains my will to live). All that said, I didnt draw or tone a figgin' thing all weekend or today and not only am I feeling like white hot ick, but I also feel behind, worthless and like a bum.

So there you have it, I'm heading out for a Slurpee...

BYE!

7 months and nothing to say... 'til now Ha haaaa


Okay, so yeah... I let this little piece go untouched for a while, but this is only due to the fact that I've been busier that a... uhhhh... something pretty GD busy.

Since Megacon 2010 (which was in March), I've been fueled beyond belief and working my brains out on an upcoming project (a project that I'll be shoving into the faces of any and all who cross my path... be that in person or on this here interwebs)... Be on the lookout!

Being hunkered down with your nose to a laptop can make a man crazy, So I took time to fuel the imagination and burn out the insanity (while at the same time emptying my wallet) by attending two of the worlds most awesome and nerd-centric events to grace the beautiful (and by "beautiful", I mean sickeningly hot and muggy) city of Orlando, These events would be BotCon 2010 (a convention geared towards those who share a creepy love for all cars that transform into lovable and warlike robots) and Star Wars Celebration V (a 4 day love fest for Star Wars fans)... I took several pics and videos and as soon as I find a way to work them into a blog-post, you can bet ur ass I will... so give it 20 minutes or so. Cheers!

Alright... So what I wanna do now is post a couple sketches (unfinished of course because it keeps expectations low). I'm currently focused on putting together a little print that I wanna put out with the upcoming DEEP SPACE TRAGEDY comic that I've been obsessing over since March... so, here's a sneaky little look at a piece of it... Cool?

That sketch didn't layout the way I figured it would.. Dammit! All this technology and NOTHING reads my mind or provides me the interactive 3D holographic images of friends and loved ones from which to take orders while investigating intergalactic criminal activity... off planet... Oh well, hope you like the sketch... Much much more to come.
