Just a quick update of sorts and some news (PLUS A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!):
1-I’m on page 8 on EXPENDABLES. I’ve thumbnailed up to page #12. Looks like there will be a HUGE SUPERHERO FIGHT scene in the book, taking up lots of pages. My chance to draw some dynamic shit. You all will love it.
2-I got the SUPERMAN ANIMATED SERIES DVD Vol. 1 the other day for dirt cheap. Haven’t watched it yet. I also scored the new HIM CD. Again, haven’t had the chance to dissect it. Tonight at work maybe.
3-Finally took the copies of WISE INTELLIGENCE to the mail today for Ryan. Being so broke I couldn’t do 50 copies and mail them out sucks. But finally, I did it. HUGE – ME.
4-Wife’s parents came up and we had a good visit. They took us to Chilli’s. That was awesome.
5-Shane and I are uploading at least 1-2 podcasts a week. We’re really enjoying it all. Loving it as a matter of fact. It feels good to be productive with our collaborative ventures. This is a start of something great!
And finally, my biggest news:
Some of you will recall in the past that I was once offered a promotion to assistant manager at my porn store job. I turned it down because they wanted me to work any shift they wanted and plus I had 30 commissions, WISE 1-3 and Expendables all on my plate. Now I am just 1/3 done with Expendables and that’s all I got outside my own work. After hiring and firing 2 other possible candidates for the position, they offered it to me again.
I realized that I could do it this time around and I accepted for these reasons:
--Instead of working midnight-8am and using my days off sleeping all the time, and not seeing my wife, I will be working a consistant noon-8pm shift. This allows me to sleep in till 11am, and work on my art from 9pm-4am. I work more productively at night anyway. I was always sketching/writing at work so this helps me.
--It’s more pay. It will be nice to get cash to actually get food in the house for a change.
--The people I work with are easy to get along with. At the time the first promotion was offered, I had some people I wasn’t so interested in dealing with. But now, its all good and so I feel more confident that it will succeed and not turn me into a bonkers zombie.
--It will NOT AT ALL interfere with my comics/art making. In fact, it will enhance it.
--And lastly, I work a normal schedule so Shane and I can get together more often and possibly start recording on the next Idiothead Album project.
Okay, so good news for once. I’ll let you know how things are going after another week or so. Take care everyone! Thanks for continuing to check back. Also, check my MYSPACE BLOG for another blog… of funny goodness. Its great.
