Whoops, sorry for the late update… for some reason I though I had updated the comic already. But the new page is up.
SDCC, A-kon, My Muse yada yadah ya… internet hate
Well, I’m finally done with all conventions and back home and I’ve mostly dug myself out of my pure hate for all things internet like. Although I’m still avoiding my friend’s list proper so if you’ve posted about cool things on LJ, DA, or the web I’ve probably missed them all. I think I read maybe 6 journals at best right now. =[
It sort of sucks to feel shitty when looking at net stuff. It’s like the most dysfunctional brain disease ever. Apparently other people’s joy makes my skin inch. I’m trying to apply sun block in the hopes that I’ll stop being a giant baby. Could take awhile.
Went to San Diego Comic con out in California and that was pretty cool other then the hotel nut crushing fee… I swear it’s like a curse with us. But I got to wander the floor for once and talk to people stuck at booths and give out the tiny “My Muse” minis that I made for giving away. So the con was a lot of fun and I spent way too much money buying things but I have a stack of new comics and books to look at. I meet up with some people at the show although I totally missed hanging out in front of the art show on Sunday cause we were sort of burned out by then and mostly just wanted to get on the highway before everyone else got on the highway.
Spent a lot of time hanging around and talking with John Kantz and Chris Reids about art, comics, and the various fun and joy all of that is. It was fun times and I drew Kantz a picture… I should ask him to send it to me maybe. Me and Mike also had a chance to eat with E.T and Liz the fine folks who helped us put out Saiko and Lavender as a comic, oh so long ago. Also got to poke at Carla Speed McNeil a little. She does this awesome comic called Finder that I love… she has been posting it on-line recently so you can read it here: Finder, Five crazy women, page 1. Briefly talked to Chris Sanders who I didn’t realized was the guy from Lilo and Stitch… I suspected but I wasn’t sure. I also hung out with Cliff for a bit which is always nice. Thanks for the neat puzzle by the way. I’ve been having fun making my friends figure out where all the little pieces go.
There were more people I meet up with including Rikki and Tavi but I’m already hating life so I think I will keep this post short.
Still haven’t talked about the fun that was A-kon. Sorry, I think I forgot in the mad rush of cons. Went with Chad, Shawnna and Sterling. Talked to Chris and John there as well cause they live close to the con. That was also super awesome. Barely left the con table at A-kon. Friday was the best day sells wise which made me think either the con was going to be REALLY good for the money. Or what actually happened, that everyone spent all their money Friday and that Saturday and Sunday would make up for Friday with low sells. Snort. I meet up with Shirotsuki from Deviant art by complete and total luck. She is a truly awesome artist and all around friendly sweet person. We traded sketches and it was cool.
Also, I got asked out by a girl at A-kon which was pretty cool. Went on two dates, one good, one so-so before she moved to another state. LOL, strike out. All and all, A-kon went pretty well.
Other then the constant string of cons, life has been really boring. I draw art for the day job and work on my comics at the slowest pace possible while still making pages. Right now I have 6 new My Muse pages but the story chunk won’t end and needs another 2 pages at least before it can be posted. I’m hoping to really crank more pages out here as I want 300 My Muse pages. 300! So far I have 24, including the unposted pages. Need to work harder. Need to work. Work work work. Should stop reading what little internet I do read and work on the comic. Or at least get enough of the day job out of the way that comics can happen faster. Argh.
I also need a new computer and now that I actually have money (day job) I’m going to start looking. I want a tablet PC so I can draw on the screen and have a laptop, that’ll be awesome.
Urgh, I think I will escape the net again. I need though to update LJ and DA a bit so I’ll be back.
