Hey! I'm Not Dead!
I've just been kicking my own ass lately between the dayjob and the Black Chamber stuff. I've clocked in over a hundred hours in the last couple of weeks at said day job, and on top of that plugging away at the book in my off time (what exists of it). Did five pages on Sunday alone. Machine!
So, until I get some art up in this mug, here's some of my patented random thoughts:
* I miss watercolored coloring for comix. For reals.
* Brendan McCarthy is amazing.
* Outside of Solo #12, this is my most looked-forward-to comic of the year.
* The new Ray LaMontagne album is incredblamazing.
* Not only did I do my first termination today as a manager, I let two go at the same time. Afterwards, I had a meeting with that department, which went verbatim like this: "As I'm sure you overheard, I sent them home. I'm looking into ways of filling those positions, but in the meantime, I'm expecting all of you to continue the exemplary work you're doing. Well, that's all I had for you." They all stand there a bit dumbfounded. Then, I stand up, slam my fist on the desk, and yell, "BACK TO WORK OR YOU'RE NEXT!" Got some amazing productivity today from all of them.
* I've got until Friday of next week to complete eight paintings. What, me workaholic?
* Jaime Hernandez is amazing.
* I've killed enough time here. Off to work!
* Oh! Check out Sequential Shop Talk, a new group blog I'm associated with. So far it's just myself and Grand Mellon Sexay, but we've got some invites out as well. There's bound to be some quality reading to be found there, if you're into making comix or just interested in the creation side of things.
