State of the Rob 05142008
* A week late, but there's the first installment of Batesville. It'll be updated every Tuesday from here on out.
* If you don't want to wait, feel free to download the first 17-odd pages from Wowio. The second installment of that should be going up soon.
* The folks at Wowio wanted me to reformat a little, and I'm still tinkering with how I want to do that. I think it came to me in the shower this morning.
* I should install a dry-erase board in the shower for ideas like this.
* Like, I came up with an amazingly great approach to Legion of Superheroes in the shower a couple of months back. I really want to write that book some day. It's really the only superhero/corporate book I have an active desire to write.
* I've been rereading the Five Years Later/Terra Mosaic/New Earth issues of Legion lately, and they still hold up in my estimation as one of the very best superhero comics ever done. Keith Giffen, Jason Pearson, Chris Sprouse, Colleen Doran, Brandon Peterson and Stuart Immonen? Awe.
* I'm nearly done with all of the thumbnails for Too Soon. I know, I know, this thing seems to be moving glacially, but I'm busting my ass on it every day. I've learned A LOT from doing Black Chamber and Too Late and I think all of this pre-production will be paying off in the long run.
* Ideally I'll be launching Too Soon on June 9th to coincide with my gallery show.
* Speaking of the show, I got most of my frames picked up yesterday thanks to an early birthday present from my mom. Thanks lady! Half-off sales at Hobby Lobby are a blessing.
* American Idol is awful. Just thought I'd throw that out there for you.
* I talked with a customer this morning who lives on the same block as the house from The Amityville Horror. That was kinda cool. Those movies freaked my shit out as a youngster.
