I came to a decision this morning. If I want to be a great webcomic artist, I have to stop trying to emulate other people. Fuck Piro. Fuck Poe. They are no longer my yardstick. From now on, the only person I have to be better than is myself. Every single, goddamned day. This also means that I have to start using what I know rather than trying to ( Read more... )

I'm watching "Sabrina" for the 278th time (the Julia Ormand version; my Audrey Hepburn version is long since dead, and I've not yet replaced it). This movie gets to me in a way that I really wished it did not. Julia Ormand very well should have, could have, almost did, replace Audrey Hepburn as the most beautiful, most elegant woman in cinema, but ( Read more... )

Meant to be up at 6, didn't get up until 8. Since it take me an hour to go through my email, check the forums, read comics, etc., it is now 9.

Wow. Big friggin' day for me over 'ere. I started the morning by finishing up my "Priest Hunter J" digital painting, then painted half of next week's filler art. Then drew the panels for Monday's Comic, went to Phoenix Cafe with Misha and pounded out a rough and ready side project schedule for Cheshire Grin.( Read more... )

Here's a preview of tomorrow's filler strip. It's the first painting I've made with my new Aiptek HyperPen 12000U digitizer tablet. I kinda like it.

We're going to ACEN!!! W00T!
Yep yep yep, Cheshire Grin will be at ACEN along with Edge of the World and Anime Retropolis. Major coolness. I need to get at least 4 or 5 print ideas going (then choose the best 1 or 2 of those), at least think about a t-shirt design, aside from Weapon of Choice... boingy boingy boingy ( Read more... )
