Progress is great!

Hey everyone! I've been staying busy as hell this week. I caught up on commissions, only to get hired for more. YAY! But I am taking time this weekend to work on things for SECRET PROJECT X. I think today will be more coloring and sketching before I work late tonight. I also have been breaking in my copic markers, which I am now in love with! Thanks to some video tutorials by Adam Hughes, I am really stepping up my commissions game! Just you wait folks!

Been a killer week, despite the worries of the tax return not getting here right away. but all is well in the world and I have no complaints! So back to reality and working hard on stuff! Here's my week:

Tuesday: The wife is at work so I get the bots up around 9 am and give him some medicine. He's reading a 99 temp right now, which is better. He's still coughing really bad though. I spend the morning catching up with emails and doing last minute doodles of Anna in the pre-order books. Most are packed and ready to ship when I can get to the post office. Check the mail, no refund check, which is getting annoying as hell. The wife comes home and so we opt to head to Logans for food (after I take a ten minute nap on the bed). We eat and head to Walmart for random stuff. I score Predator and The Cable Guy BR's. We get home, put bots to bed and we awakens a couple hours later. Still moody. I work on commissions and call into Sabo on talkshoe and stay with them till about 2:30am, where I pass out from exhaustion.

Wednesday: I wake up to the sounds of a crying bots at 8:40am. Check email and package final Anna books that are ready to ship. I attempt some doodling/cleaning but the bots is extremely moody cause of his sickness. He gets so bad that I give him a time out. After that, he's all better and is an angel for the next three hours. The wife comes home and we go to Ponderosa. My head is full of the buzz and excitement from the Ipad2 release info. We dream in the skies about getting one very soon. After eating, we head back and I get dressed for work at the Vu. I get there and spend a 6pm-2am shift there at a VERY dead store and club. Practically no one was there. I was so bored I was cleaning tubs of lubes to pass time. Finally, the shift is over and I drag my tired sore ass home where I check email, watch the 100th AVGN video online and pass out around 3am as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Thursday: The screaming bots wakes us up at 9:00am on the dot and the wife and I both get up. I check online shit, update blog and start working on commissions which I am completely behind on. The goal is to get them inked by late that night. I get a great start on them and then we decide to head to my dayjob to get my check. We also stop in for some food. Then the wife heads to work and I take care of an increasingly sick bots. He even pukes on the floor after a coughing fit. Poor guy! He passes out around 7pm and I get to work. I finish the commissions by 11:30 but then am feeling nauseous as hell. I text Walters to say I am out on BFB livecast tonight and decide to get some decent sleep. I pop some pills and pass out to AVGN.

Friday: I wake up at 7:40 and check email shit. I get hired for more commissions and I do some sketches of them. I set up a new Facebook page for my art and then get the bots up at around 9am. I spend the morning with the kid and then the wife comes home from work at 3. I hang out with the bots till he goes to bed. Then I get my art on. I am working on strips for SECRET PROJECT X tonight. The wife and I decide to get our drink on. We play some Wii bowling, Press Your Luck and Super Mario Bros 3 on Wii. The kid gets up in the middle of the night and we cuddle him till he passes out. Then we pass out around 1am.

Saturday: We get up, check shit and then check the mail. To our surprise/relief, our Tax Refund check comes! We deposit it and go shopping! I score some new art supplies, a couple magazines and a Bloodhound Gang Hits CD. The wife and I go to the mall and have a great time. Bots is really well behaved. We try Findley's for dinner which is bland as hell. Not recommended. Then I draw a bit before Zach and Brandy arrive and we get our games and drink on. I have one hell of a fun night! Pass out around 4am.

Thats all folks! Have a great week! Go live and enjoy!
