behold, the prospects


okay everything is running smoothly on the comic. this is a picture of my desk as it is right now, seriously i just took this picture this morning. the pages at the top of the desk are the penciled pages awaiting inking, the page taped down in the middle is the current one i'm working on, and the ones on the left are the completely inked pages (still need some erasing though).
I'm getting excited to finish this and so far so good, everything is looking pretty much how i imagined it would.
I decided after looking at the old pages of the other comic i was gonna print, that only like 2 of the stories are up to snuff, so this is the new plan: i will publish the 3 stories i like most, including this one i'm working. Since they were each done at a different time of the year and there's 3 different seasons taking place in the stories i decided to call it (this is great) "Three Seasons In A Year". i like the title but if you think i could call it something else lemme know cuz i suck at that kind of thing.
I splurged on a copy of Flight Volume 4 yesterday and so far i've not been disappointed. These guys do a grrrrreat job of making comics and each volume has been worth the investment (the newest one will set you back 32 bucks!). I see them as text books, litererary and artistic tools i hope to be able to learn from, and i think so far i have. they're even just great inspiration to make comics.
That's all for now, i'd better get back to that desk and get to work if i ever wanna finish this thing.

If your looking for a cowboy, you've found one

ok so my next comic is now in the making. i can hear your silent shouts of joy.
If all goes according to plan (mwa ha ha ha ha ha!!!) it'll be out before the end of the summer... if i ever get the motivation to go upstairs and actually work on it.
i wont tell you what's it about cuz that way you'll get all excited with anticipation and such, and in theory, want to read it more.
also i'll be making copies of that other comic i made last summer/winter that i never actually printed. it's got some short stories in it.
so oh my god now you have two comics to get excited about paying money for!! yes that's right (a kid's gotta eat!). they'll be dead cheap though, i promise.
i'll be posting the cover to the next book in the next few days or so.... i'm still thinking for a title for it.
