State of the Rob 06082008

* I gave the site a bit of a new look. Nothing drastic, but you'll notice that new picture at the top of the blog here. That's going to change every day. You know why it's going to change every day?

* My new graphic novel, 'Too Soon', is launching today. It'll run at the top of the blog every day. Sorry, your feed reader won't pick it up, so you'll have to come back each day, or every few days, to keep up on it. I'll be doing more frequent blog posts to remind you, though, so don't worry 'bout that.

* Some posts will expand upon the book, some will annotate certain references, and some will be my normal ramblings and art. Every Tuesday will still be new installments of 'Batesville' as well.

* 'Batesville' and 'Too Soon' are related, by the way. More than you'll realize at first.

* I'll be serializing both 'Batesville' and 'Too Soon' on Wowio as one book, launching my new ongoing series there entitled 'The Unbroken Circle'. You'll get to read both in bigger chunks than when they're serialized here.

* Last night Katy and I went to Dennis Hopeless' birthday party. He's pretty excited now that he's sixteen and old enough to drive. Pretty soon you'll be able to get into an R-Rated movie too, kiddo!

* Kidding aside, we had a great time and Dennis' wife Jessie did a fantastic job decorating their house. It's really awesome. It was also great catching up with the KC comics gang who made it out. I'm sure the folks there who didn't know me too well got tired of hearing me talking about the gallery show, but damn it, I'm super excited about it.

* Speaking of, I spent all day yesterday framing all of the art for the show. I'll have around thirty pieces there, including pages from 'Too Late', some illustrations, and a few of my larger acrylics.

* Five to Eight in the PM on Friday the 13th! Be there!

* I'm getting postcards distributed over the course of this week as well. They look really nice.

* Item! My first piece of press for the show, from Compass Magazine:

* I've heard it's also going to be in the next issue of Ink and will be mentioned on Ink's radio update on Jack FM this Wednesday. More as I come across it.

* My cat Monkey has abandoned me:

* More soon!
