2011 Plans/Thoughts...

Hey folks. So far, GREAT response on the ANNA POCALYPSE graphic novel pre-order. I am humbled by the interest by ya'll. If you haven't ordered yet, place yer pre-order right now by clicking here

I've been doing a lot of thinking about 2011 and what goals I want to set for my family and myself. Personal, professional and otherwise. Some of it I won't go into here publicaly. But some I can talk about. I got a sort of new goal and game plan when it comes to my work. The idea right now is that I am only gonna exhibit at one or two shows next year. Motor City definitely being one of them. The other? Maybe WWChicago or something in the fall. No idea yet. Its a tad too early. I will also do a few store signings and really take the books to the people.

My main goal is one that I won't reveal yet. And I got a couple other side goals that I am working on achieving. All of which is my 2011 goal idea: "Throw Enough Shit at the Wall and See What Sticks!" I do plan on continuing to work on LINGERIE PARTY MASSACRE, as I have plans for that. I do plan on doing the art book as well. So far, online sales of my books far outweigh con sales of them. The things I sell most at cons are art and prints. Which is nice but I want to shift focus a bit to keep me and my products in the green.

This said, I've decided that I do want to hit one convention as a "fan" and have fun. The idea it being either HEROES CON or SAN DIEGO again. Both have definite benefits and drawbacks. I am gonna take the holiday season to decide ultimately which one I want to do. If you all have opinions, fill me in. Maybe it will help me decide.

The other goals I've thought about are things I will not share publicaly, as they are personal and even delve into the professional and sometimes I hang my dick out there too much. Learned that lesson, I have. So I guess you can wish me luck that I sort all these thoughts out. I'll take all the luck I can get right now.

Basically I can say that I am somewhat scared as much as I am excited. Its quite likely that I am going to be unemployed for a while and I will be focusing on freelancing to not only pay for my work, printing and convnetions, but also to feed my family. Paid work has been increasing HARDCORE for me lately, and I certainly appreciate it. But I also know it can dry up in an instant. So it is scary. I am trying to get myself into a position where I can make regular income with my ideas that I haven't started yet. So I need all the support and luck there is.

I thank you all for the continued interest and thoughts for me. I am humbled by it. Truly, I am. You guys rock. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. Thanks for a great life. And in return, I hope to give you all my best.

I thought about each blog maybe stating some factoid about me and discussing it. Maybe an opinion or a memory. Let me start with this one: I hate the term "TREKKIE". It sounds completely playful and childish. Almost demeaning in a way. In fact, I don't really like any term for fans of a Tv show. Even Browncoats I don't like. Can't you just be a fan of something without useless labels? And no, I don't prefer "TREKKER" cause it sounds more manly or the like. All of those words and labels are rubbish. I'm just a fan of a thing. I enjoy it. Maybe sometimes a bit more intense than others, sure. But I am just a fan. and even that word is short for FANATIC, and those people are crazy! So I enjoy certain things. Simply that. Bascially I am saying, call me a "TREKKIE" and I'll jam my tricorder up your ass.

Great! Thanks for listening! PREORDER ANNA POCALYPSE NOW!!!!!!!
