State of the Rob 08132008
* I'm looking to be really busy for the remainder of the year.
* I just got word that I'll have another gallery show in December featuring my vintage album recreations. This will be at a new gallery opening up in the heart of the Crossroads district and I really couldn't be more excited. More on this as it develops.
* I'm rereading Brubaker's run on Catwoman right now. Man, that's a great book, isn't it? At least, it starts off that way. It sort of lost its steam following the road trip arc. Paul Gulacy got a lot of the blame for that, but I wonder how much of it was Brubaker starting to get worn out with his DC contract? This was his first high-profile book as a 'name' author, and it has that feel to it. It's not as fantastic as his Daredevil or Captain America stuff, but you can see a lot of what was to come in these pages. Either way, I'm tackling Gotham Central next.
* I mean, I gotta do SOMETHING to keep myself sane at the day job, right? Yes, folks, this is what people at call centers do to keep themselves from cussing your ignorant asses out on every single call. Except you, you don't have an ignorant ass.
* My dog poo business is getting launched this week in earnest. Fingers crossed that this crap will get me out of my day job.
* Too Soon continues apace. The book takes some really interesting turns as it goes along and I'm excited for y'all to read it.
* I need to get more Batesville written soon, too.
* I'm also starting to plot out the next graphic novel, tentatively entitled 'Too of a Kind'. Seeing a pattern with the titles yet?
* Actual quote from one of the announcers for Olympic Men's Volleyball: "He should be smothering those balls by now."
* Katy's birthday is Sunday. Wish her a happy one, huh? I'm so excited that she's going to be of legal age now!
* Want to read her nationally covered story about a forgotten underground city? Here it is in its entirety!
* Here's the painting I'm doing for her birthday. I just started it last night:
