The Re-Return

Hello, all my 3 dear readers. Here's an UPDATE!


I failed at NaNoWriMo for personal reasons. With the exception of a stomach virus that took me out for a day, the holidays were awesome. My lovely fiancee Lauren and I got to spend a couple of days with our families up in the Florida panhandle. It was an absolute joy to see my sisters, mom, and dad - I love them all so so much.

Also Lauren bought me a Bamboo Pen for christmas, so expect my art output to increase a billion times over. I've only had the pen for a few hours now, but I've already become pretty accustomed to it and I am super stoked to experiment with it. I even made a brand spankin' new deviantart profile.

I pulled something in my back or pinched a nerve from puking so hard on xmas, and thus I am currently a little loopy on pain meds and done with this post.

ART TO COME SOON.

Tis The Season


It's Nanowrimo time again! Expect many updates with word counts, really terrible first draft samples, and many frustrations starting tomorrow. I'm retooling a couple of ideas into one for my book this year, with the intention of eventually turning two ideas into a trilogy of epic proportions (we'll see how well that works out). This concept was pretty last minute, so I'm still a bit behind figuring out exactly how several elements are going to play, but hey, I've got until tomorrow.


Additionally, this year I'm using Liquid Story Binder XE, and so far it is awesome. It's the first "novelist" software I've found that I've liked, so I'm pretty happy about it, and recommend anyone looking to write anything check it out.

I don't even know

Here's a thing.



I just finished reading I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura.





It was incredible.



Links & Supplies

I put up a new page with links to some stuff that I find inspiring. You should check them out!

This week I picked up some watercolors and a couple of new art pads, so this coming week should full of new posts.

Also, I sometimes have a hard time coming up with ideas or what to draw about! I know like two people read this, but give me your suggestions and/or requests! It would be much appreciated.

A Difference of Opinion, or I'm Back!

Here's a little comic I did today.

Drawings today soundtracked by Tetrastar.

In other news I got all my hair off, as evidenced here:



More stuff to come later today, I think.

A Couple Of Things



I haven't drawn anything yet this week! Boo on me. I will remedy this tomorrow with vigor.

I would however like to share some things! Sharing is caring.

I have been absolutely devouring the manga series Bakuman.


The book is written by the same mysterious Tsugumi Ohba of Death Note fame. The writing is just amazing, and balances all the elements of a story I wouldn't be interested in otherwise incredibly well. The book is about two 9th graders who want to become famous manga creators, which sounds pretty boring - but it is executed by someone with a clear mastery of storytelling. It's the bomb, is my point.




Additionally, this is my favorite cover song of all time:

Sad Fish

Aw, what's wrong fish? Is it because I drew you so badly? I'm sorry.
