Lazy Sunday. On WISE INTELLIGENCE, I am into page 12-14. Pace is going well. I should be done within two weeks or so, if I crack hard at it. I gotta get some grey fade markers so I can fill in some greys. I usually do it on the comp, but I don't have access to a scanner or photoshop! Sucks all around for me.
This move has completely cleaned me out. As a matter of fact, I owe tons of back bills. Two of my credit cards are WAY over limit and are calling daily wanting money. I have no money to give them, which totally sucks. I had to pawn CDs and DVDs to pay rent this month. But the wife has the job now and soon, both our checks will be rolling in to catch us back up. So, I just gotta keep my head sorta near the surface of the water till then.
Dunno whats going on with my job. I guess I am still eligable for that promotion. Not STORE MANAGER, but an assistant. The extra cash will come in handy, and its not any different than what I am doing now. So, I might jump on it. It won't interfere with my day job of comics!
I spend most of my days catching up on sleep/drawing at my table. I've mostly been doing that WISE INTELLIGENCE gig. I am hoping that the writer digs what I am doing. I'm doing the best I can with what I got. I think so far its very solid. It looks like the Pleasant Life style, but only more detailed. Its good experience for me to do it.
BIG NEWS: A long time ago, I wrote out the ending to Pleasant Hymns/Life. That way, I am always running toward that ending. Well, certain events have made me reconsider that original idea and I had another idea come up for the ending. After debating back and forth about which one I wanted to do, I decided on the new one. I wrote out the script. ITS INCREDIBLE! It ties everything up and is very funny/actionpacked and heartfelt. The perfect ending. Don't worry.. its a ways off, but it will come. I like things that end and don't meander along. So many other comics suffer the meandering stigma. Besides, I want to move on to other projects soon. I love the P.L. world and characters, but there are many things I want to do... many stories to tell. Time will tell when and where it will happen, but happen it will. Lets enjoy the ride of it all for now though, okay?
I haven't bought anything new at all in 3 weeks cause of being broke. So, nothing new to report there.
I cannot express enough how much I love my art studio. Its completely impacted me and my work ethic. I only wish I had a partner in here with me to work along side me. One day, I hope to find someone passionate about thier creative endevours to help devote as much time as I do to it. Sometimes, you need people to help you with your dreams. A helping hand. So far, I've not got it. But one day, it will come. Those will be creative times. For now, I'm hoofing it on my own.
Podcasts and tater tots have been keeping me sane. Tater Tots are good.
I'm pretty bummed about my finances. I didn't sell very well at Pittsburgh Con. I cannot afford to buy even some sharpie markers to work on my art. Nor, send out the commissions I was hired to do. (truth, I sold some CDs and they go in the mail tomarrow!) I'm just bummed folks. I don't mean to dump on you. I know things will get better. I just have to be patient.
Good thing is, I haven't had fast food in 3 weeks. I've lost 5 pounds. Truth: Eating fast food makes you fat. Only took me 29 years to realize it. But mark my words: I WILL NEVER GIVE McDONALDS ANY MORE OF MY MONEY! EVER! Not even for a soda. Wendys??? Yes. But not for fast food. A soda, salad and baked potato. But not today.
Okay, bored you enough. Off to your lives. (Please, visit the store at IDIOTHEAD.COM!!)
Luvs, T
