I got mixed emotions all around lately.
First of all, I had a REAL good cry the other day kinda alone. I haven't cried in about 5 months, but the other night I really let it go. I don't want to explain why, but I've slowly realized a failing of mine and its something I intend to correct immediately. Its kind of something I knew, but I didn't KNOW what it was until I experienced its effect on me. So, there's that.
Two, I am sorta jaded on another thing in my life. Don't really know what the deal is with it. Don't know how to solve it or if its even my place to solve it. (OR even if it is a problem at all!) I guess its not my place to decide if it i. All I can do is sit back and not be effected by it. Sorry to be so cryptic on these things, but its necessary.
Also one of my favorite, personal TOP 10 comic artists, Mike Wieringo passed away suddenly. Heart attack. He was one of the good guys. Never vain, never hurt anyone...a vegetarian. and here I am a fat nobody and why do I deserve to live? It just bums me out. I never met him, nor knew him, but I cannot help but be effected by it. When an artist dies, I feel like I lost a brother or sister. Doesn't matter who they are. Cause we are artists who get the eternal "it." The feeling of overcomng pop culture and media attention to carve our niche or cult status in the world. When you lose someone who has that good head on their shoulders, it truly is a loss... in the greatest sense. You owe it to yourself to get off your ass and make your art (whatever it is) count. Cause in a flash, it all can be gone. So quit wasting your time on crap. Make art. No excuses.
Speaking of art: I heard back from Ryan on Wise #1 and he said he thought the art was killer. Major "WHEW" on my end! I'm on page 18-19 of Issue #2 right now.
At Wizard World Chicago, I ran into Brett P. and we ironed out this thing we are doing. Cannot say too much yet, but I am doing a one shot project with him and his company. The concept is something I am totally for. I have not read a script yet, but once I do and WISE is done done DONE, I will get to work on that. Then perhaps my piddly books in there as well!
Wizard World was sooooooooo damn crowded. And I mean this: This is the last con I'll go to as a fan... EVER! If I am not involved, I will not be there. Nuff said.
Well, I got a shit ton to catch up on and I just thought I'd pop on here with a quick update. Don't worry folks. While I do have alot of stuff on my mind, I'm not letting that hinder me or my efforts at all.
Back to your lives.
