State of the Rob 06302009
* Busy, busy, busy.
* I've only got about ten pages of Too Soon left to draw. I'm hoping to rock those out over the next couple of weeks.
* The last scene is going to be fully painted, because I'm obviously a masochist.
* We've nearly got the loft all settled in. I hung art all day yesterday after going through a bazillion hoops to get my drivers license renewed.
* I took the worst picture yet for a license, by the way. I looked like Baron Harkonnen, even though I'm in about the best shape of my life. Being a foot taller than the average man gets me every time.
* I turn 29 tomorrow. I got engaged when I was 28. I'm getting married when I'm 30. I'm getting old right now.
* LINKS!
* Lee Bermejo's work has always captivated me.
* A gorgeous Alex Nino portfolio. GORGEOUS.
* Can I draw like JH Williams III when I grow up? No? Oh, alright.
* Swoon.
* Can I be Fred Ludekens when I grow up, then? Still no? Shucks.

* I've got under twenty pages left to draw on Too Soon. Ooowee, that feels good to type.
* I'm really happy with how this current scene has come together. I'm getting closer to having my final piece look like what I see in my mind.
* Over the weekend I read Greg Rucka's latest novel 'Walking Dead' and loved the hell out of it. I've loved the hell out of all of his novels, actually. It was a real struggle Saturday to not put my pencil and brush down and just read the book cover to cover. I did end up doing that Sunday, though.
* Sunday night we watched Wall-E after having my folks over for Minsky's pizza, making for a great all-around day.
* That's about it for this week, y'all. Expect the regular sketchbook stuff along with some process work for Too Soon.

* After this current scene, I've only got three more and 'Too Soon' is done. I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride with it and getting the visuals to match what I have in my head.
* I'm proud of the story I've got here. I think it's the best-written of the three. I think 'Too Late' had the best art of them, but the story here works better.
* I'm going to do a shorter chapter to end the story of 'The Unbroken Circle' and then take a little time off to get the next book together and fully planned out.
* Got good news at the day job that will be making my life a lot easier in the near future.
* Beer floats are awesome.
* LINKS!
* Here's a nice write-up on my last show at artkc365.com by Steve Brisendine. Unfortunately the show's down at that location now, but expect some news shortly on where you can see them next. Hopefully.
* Evidence that we may be living in the RIGHT future.
