State of the Rob 08072008
* I'm sad Jack Kamen has passed away. Pretty much any time you picture an EC comic like Tales From the Crypt you picture one of his macabre drawings. Another one of our culture's icons has passed away.
* I'm reading through the whole run of Starman right now and I've got something outrageous to say: I like Snejbjerg's storytelling art better than Tony Harris'. I like Harris' illustrations better, but I think Snjebjerg's storytelling is so much stronger. Either way, this was a great book, wasn't it? I haven't sat down to enjoy the run in one big dose and I'm picking up on a lot of little gems that I didn't notice while reading the 80+ issues as they came out.
* I get wore out just by thinking about how much I have on my plate right now. At first I was overwhelmed by the idea that I'm working three careers until it hit me I'm actually doing four: the horrific day job, the graphic novels, the upcoming new day job (more on that in a moment), and my gallery paintings.
* I'm going to start cleaning up dog crap for a living. Seriously. I've been doing the research into it and you can make a serious living at it for about twice what I'm making now and have no boss and no coworkers. Seriously.
