i'm still here
sorry for no updates in a while. i've actually been busy.
1. put together the first 12 pages of thom for an ashcan teaser. printed up only 50 copies at 8.5x11. they look nice but i'm noticing some things i want to change.
2. had an artist group meeting last week in sept and incorporated some suggestions from the group.
3. got a call thursday oct 4th from a local bank asking if i could set up a show for the local artwalk on FRIDAY, oct 5. i said yes and hung it that next morning. only 18 ppl showed but that's only because it was the first time the bank participated and there was no marketing. the website is sorely outdated. i got a free shirt.
4. oct 5-6 i had a table at shimakon on south padre island. it went ok. mostly broke kids into anime. no one was really into indie comics. they liked my chibi version of vegeta though. i got to meet some nice ppl though. the anime con got about 500 or so ppl, but i couldn't really tell. they still need some work with organization. i sold a few things but nothing to offset the costs. . . eh, me and my wife enjoyed ourselves a wee honeymoon.
4a. went to cyber comics in edinburg and met with the owner and "manager." talked about shimakon and maybe getting a sketch group together. the manager liked my work and commissioned me to draw the juggernaut. when i get it done, it'll be a cool $75. i go over every so often to work on it.
5. this past weekend i recorded a guitar part and some vocals for a re-formed indie band named murphy jr. it was fun and i had to get used to the shotgun recording style really fast. :0
6. i recorded again with my wife! i laid down some recorder and whistling sounds for her. she does musique concrete.
7. then we cleaned the house.
what did you do?
