YOU BASTARDS
Hngh, have been having a rough time lately. Anxious and paranoid and in kind of a fog since finals week. It occurred to me today that my college experience has run parallel to the Bush administration: begun under disingenuous circumstances, marked by stupidity and poor decision-making, influenced by unsavory outside powers, culminating in a miserable quagmire and general fucking embarrassment all around. And it's gone on way more years than it should've. Heyo, look at me being all topical.
So now that I've got some time off, I'm going to take a moment to regroup, and then I am going to set about the task of eating, sleeping, and breathing comics. Here's a non-exhaustive list of my current projects, highest priority first:
EMISSARY(working title)- my goal is to get the first issue published within the year. This is the big project I've been working on with John, the full-length series about a post-plague America. I have high hopes for it (and hope my baby skills are up to the challenge).
LONG NIGHT- a one-shot comic I'm hoping to publish via lulu.com. A little more on the artsy side. I'm hoping to do it in color, but I'm going to have to figure out how to color comics in CS3 first.
CYANIDE MILKSHAKE #2- I guess none of you would know about Cyanide Milkshake #1, which I drew up and printed out at Office Depot last year. It's just a crass little comics zine full of masturbation jokes. If I'm happy with how #2 comes out I might reprint #1 (I only made 15 copies last time) and sell them through Paypal for like a buck, if anyone's interested.
There's also BLEEDER, A YEAR ON THE GALLOWS, that porno series, and DEAD CITY LOVE, but those are all older ideas that need some tweaking and are on the back burner for now. This is going to take some discipline, eek. Wish me luck.
MUST BE FUNNIER
A comic. They're not all gems, guys.
To make a long story short, a few years ago I told ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) esyla I would draw her some pictures and mail them her way. They never reached her- partly my fault, partly my crappy campus mailroom's- and I have been feeling like a jerk about it ever since. I drew this as a small gesture of apology. Hey Sarah, one of these days I'll make it up to you.
IN OTHER NEWS
Hamburglar = "Beef Thief". This has been cracking me up most of the afternoon. Happy Obligatory Family Season, kiddos.
