WAX

WAX (Wilson Artist Expo) is tomorrow in Wilson, NC.  I am looking forward to doing a con, because I have not done one since May.  This one is also in my town so there isn't any long drive.  Also looking to do some "Geek Olympic" events that may be fun, so look out for that.

Anyone who says the phrase "The Bear Butt has landed" gets a prize.

I am revealing some new things that I am excited about, a new backdrop that looks way cool and shows a LOT of iNTERMEZZO characters and a new print that i just love.

Newspaper article about me.

FUN IDEA

ISSUE 7

Issue 7 arrived in the mail and I am blown away with how good it looks!  The new scanner that allows me to scan directly from my 11x17 art instead of xeroxing it down and then scanning from that makes a huge improvement.  So much so that I plan on rescanning all issues when I can so that all of them will look this good.

ISSUE 7 IS AVAILABLE NOW!

Issue 7 is FINALLY available on Indyplanet (my delays, not theirs.  I'm not blaming them).  Go check it out (and order lots of copies).  YAY!

Myrtle beach has come and gone, a couple of ok days and 1 bad one, but a fun time meating a lot of good people.  Hoping to add some shows soon, we'll see how that goes.

AT LAST!

Issue 7 is off to Ka-Blam (the printer)!  After a new computer, a new scanner, a new computer program, and 7 hours with Geek Squad getting all of them to work together it is finished and ordered!  Exhale...

One of my favorite covers.

So I obviously feel a lot better about this, and just about all of it in general.  My last post was very pessimistic and I needed to bolow off some steam.

I also have a spot at XCon in Myrtle Beach Fl for a three day show in May.  Since I can't be at Heroescon this year because of my work schedule, this is a welcome addition.  Its a new area for me and I've heard a lot of good things about this show.

Disappointment

I have needed to post for quite a while, but haven't because I wanted to be able to post that issue 7 had been sent to Ka-Blam for printing. The reason I can't say that is that it is not true. Once again I cannot get this done and I am royally pissed! I bought a new scanner and photoshop program to work with the new computer and once again I can't get it together! They won't work together or talk to each other, and it will freeze entirely. One problem always leads to another.

I am feeling about as low as I have in the three years since I started publishing Bear Butt Comics. I wonder if I should just give up. I am obviously not good at this, nobody fucking cares about this but me. Its not like anyone even reads this anyway.

All I wanted to to tell my little stories, draw some pictures, and put it into a format that I have loved my entire life. The fact that I am unable to do what should be a simple thing is just screaming at me that I need to just quit.

Who am I kidding?
