Sloppy

Okay, in some desperate attempt, I tried to crank out a two page comic in one weekend to shove into my portfolio and this is sadly the result. Did I completely bite off Ted Naifeh? ...Not entirely. But I was sooo inspired by 'How Loathsome' that I just couldn't help myself. And staring at Becky Cloonan and Brian Wood's stuff for two weeks straight didn't help either. So here it is.

Very VERY... loosely based off a personal experience I've had.

Other than that, I'm about to be employed for a money-hungry t-shirt making company that hires cheap labor and will give me 0% creative freedom as I computer-seperate colors for screenprinting machines. ...Shoot me in the face now. This is all because I'm money hungry as well (or plain hungry? I'm not in a bad position being unemployed though..) and I'd like some money while I try and find a new (and better) job.
Cheers.

Holy Cow

Wowee, I have an 8 page, FULLY COLORED comic I just cranked out because of my 3 weeks of unemployment. Or was it 4 weeks? Ah well. Check out the sequential art section of my site to find it! I've uploaded the cover art here as a preview.

San Diego is steadily creeping up on me and I need to print and bind about 50 copies of these for publishers. Phew. The pressure's still steadily pounding down on me but I think I can get it all done. ...Actually there is no 'I think I can' ...I have no real choice but to complete all the work I'm setting up for myself. Yikes...

Other news, I have two interviews lined up for this week. If I get a job, no need to worry so much about having my work published and freelancing gets pushed back a tiny bit. If no job, it's back to cranking out work. 'Til next update.

Cheers.

Red and White together at last

...Still fiddling in Photoshop, as you can see by this new image.




I'll try and submit it into some contests even though the composition is hideous. Bah! ...Gods what was I thinking?! Ah well.

Apparently I had COMPLETELY fogotten about the San Diego ComiCon. Thank you Joe, for reminding me about that. So, come the end of July, I will have created another 8 page comic that has some really rushed story completely inked, and I'll hand those out to... everyone and anything that can help me out in California.

Summer's job opportunities are as brutal as its blistering heat.

I believe summer interns and temps take all the jobs (read that as, college students on summer break) and they cost less than to hire someone with more experience and as a potentially permanent full-time person. This is fine. I could hold out until the end of summer. Heck, I could say I inked a comic and created a new piece about every 3 days for 4 months. I'd feel like that's saying a lot but... being unemployed has given me too much time for my own good.

Cheers.
