In a nerd cave above ground, there lived an artist nerd...

Yes folks. I am here. and busy as all hell. (what else be new right?)

I'm working on commissions galore right now and thats a great thing. I'm dead broke and struggling for funds for DALLAS CON coming up. The wife and I are committed to get out from the credit card debt we've been whittling away at on the last few years. I mentioned this before. We used to have a ton of cards and now we have only a couple. But still, I want them OUT OF MY LIFE FOR GOOD!!!!!!!!!!! Folks, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER get a credit card. For ANY reason. Don't. Don't. Don't.

But anyway, we'll be out probably the end of this year. To see that ending in sight is a great feeling. I cannot wait for it to be off my chest for good. We were young and stupid. But as you know for the last few months (well, year in fact) I've been waking up to ideas and things and deciding that I don't need to do certain things anymore. And staying in debt is one of them. I'm cutting off all those things from me that cause me to stumble. And thats a major one. If I control that as I am controlling my weight gain, I will be unstoppable. those are the days worth living for.

In other news, my new and improved podcast, STUDIO CHATTER is getting alot of buzz. I've got a lot of messages, emails, etc of people LOVING this new format and a return to talking the craft of artists. I humbly appreciate all the kind words my friends and I will strive to keep the show rockin' and rollin' as we move forward. Tonights' show is going to be awesome! I can feel it. I got some listener questions and a great subject to chat about. (thanks to Jarmo for the video link and the idea) I appreciate all you folks caring and listening in. Also if you haven't done so, download past episodes of my other podcast: IDIOTHEAD.com PODCAST right HERE or search for it on ITUNES. Its converstations with me and other artists, writers - My best friend Shane Logan (Officer Logan from PLEASANT LIFE) and the mega popular DRUNKEN DVD COMMENTARIES that I do with my wife. So far we've done "THE ROOM," "BATMAN AND ROBIN" and "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE." Up next is "THE RUNNING MAN" I think. We'll record that very soon.

I moved my dvds and blurays to my office and its a daily exercise to keep my two year old out of them. He loves to take them off the shelves, stack em and take the discs out and throw em. So yeah... Maybe I made a mistake in moving them in here. I was hoping it would motivate me to watch them more, but its really just pissing me off! :) Ah, like with a toddler. I smell a new "things my two year old does" coming on....

I am in the twenties of pages on ANNA II. Nowhere near a good dent on what I got planned but shit is started! Its all set up for the hell that is to come in the story. I get to draw some nudity soon, so that will be fun. WHA??? Who is nude??? Is Anna getting nude??? You'll have to buy it to find out! ;)

Well, thats all I know. Be sure to check out my various podcasts I mentioned, plus my appearances on the BIGFANBOY LIVECAST and MIGHTY SABO & SON as we wind down our 5th year of doing podcasts!!!! Yes, its been that long.

Cheers, T
