Some pics to share and general how yeh doings.

First up, a pic of the inside of the freezer I took when kelly bought all the cheap food from Wallgreens. At least we got that covered for a while!



Up next, I am busy touching up OUTCAST pages in my spare time. Here's what was on my desk a couple days ago. Appetite wet now?



Lastly, a preview page from WISE INTELLIGENCE #1 with word balloons. Click on it to make it bigger and get a read preview. Dig?


All in all, I'm trying to stay productive and not feel "land locked." Actually, I am quite enjoying what I am doing. I do have worries, such as how bills are gonna get paid, how my comic con travel plans are gonna pan out, but overall I am confident that things will fall into place. I applied for unemployment, so I should hear back from that soon. I'm gonna step up my submissions for actual DRAWING work. I think after I do some more WISE stuff today, I will work on sketch card submission stuff. I gotta break into that. I want it!

For now, we got food on the table, bills are squeaking by and the wife and I are not at each other's throats. She's being incredibly understanding and supportive. A lesser person would toss it in my face that she's the "breadwinner" of the family. I guess we've both come to realize this is an opportunity, more than anything else. It is not as though I didn't try to get a job. I dropped off a crapload of applications. Bottom line: the economy sucks and jobs are getting trimmed and dropped left and right. At my old job at the paper, there's only about 5 artists left. I mean, they fired all artists and my three old bosses. Had we never moved and I stayed there, I would likely have been one of them to go. Then I would be competing with every college fucker in town to get a job at a pizza parlor or something. A few of my friends and their family have lost thier jobs as well. It just sucks all around.

Thanks Mr. Bush.

And yes, its his fault. By the way, recent documents released saying Bush condoned torture and loss of 4th amendment rights and wiretapping. So, awesome. Just saying folks. We knew it was happening, but we didn't stop it. So now we are dealing with it. Woe is us.

Anyway, I'll keep you all updated about projects and things I do. Check my deviantart page often cause I will be doing lots more sketching and posting.

And please... I'm accepting commissions and pre-orders for PLEASANT LIFE TRADEBOOK. See my website for details. If you need artwork done, I'm your man!

Cheers, T

Regarding the economy, I believe it was the democratic controlled congress who basically "forced" the banks to hand out loans to people who had no intention of paying them back (help everyone get a home - right). Now everything goes south, and they want to blame Bush - WRONG! Granted, Bush spent like a drunken sailor, but Obama has gone clinically insane with spending. Over a trillion in less than 100 days - We all are going to be paying for that for longer than 4 years, and Obama is just getting started. I've already given up on the guy, and looking forward to 2012 elections (Obama won't politically survive this).
