Feelin' festive bitches!

Hey all!

A hearty thank you to all who have downloaded and read my book: IN THE TRENCHES: HOW TO SURVIVE AS A SMALL PRESS COMIC BOOK PUBLISHER! I've gotten some great notes and emails about how much ya'll appreciate it and I thank you for checking it out. For those that haven't, its still available to download FOR FREE! Just click on the link on the main Idiothead.com website!

2010 Plans are shaping up. I am busy trying to generate funds for the 2010 convention tour. Once tables are bought and hotels registered, then I will announce where I am going for sure. Plan to see me in the usual spots, naturally. Still dunno if I will return to D-town this next year or not. Will try to.

I got maybe 2-3 more pages left on the first issue of Anna. Once completed starts colors. And then work on issues 2-3 of the mini-series. I also jsut got the script to EXPENDABLES #3 (yes, we're doing a third one!) and man is it gonna be alot of fun to draw! So I am trying to keep my head in the game and get work done. Seems this fall has been sorta off for me. Some nights I am just not into it or I am spending more time with the family lately than normal. Which is all fine. But I am still here and getting stuff done as normal. Plus with me slowing down on my pencilling and tightening my work up, I am not at the breakneck speed I used to be. But the work is coming out much nicer and well thought out. No complaints. You'll see it when its done and know why!

The stores are starting to stock Xmas and playing the carols. I for one am getting that giddy excitement of the holidays. I think the wife and I plan to put the tree up this friday, in fact. I already got my xmas cards ready to mail, and xmas lists made up. Looking forward to getting Cody and Scotty's gifts soon, and then seeing what the wife wants (outside of jewelry, natch). Me? We're looking to get a Bluray player finally and then maybe I'll get some new slippers, art supplies and a few DVDs/CDs that I can still get in the stores. (Seems most of the stuff on my "want" list, stores do not carry or are rare, so online is the best bet!)

Anyway, the holidays are here and soon I'll be making thanksgiving turkey! Yum! Plus, every year for thanksgiving we re-watch LORD OF THE RINGS all the way through. Been looking forward to it!

Take care out there folks!
