Obsession vs Depression.  Guess who's winning.

What I have been doing

I had a few days off of work around the weekend and holiday, which was very nice.  I have been getting some artwork ready for NCComiccon.  Aside from just getting so fed up with Staples, nothing has been happening.  The copy choices in Wilson, NC are extremely limited.  Also finished some one of a kind pieces.


A mental tangent has started, so a few friends and I are starting a geek equivalent of fantasy football, we are starting a FANTASY LAFF A LYMPICS LEAGUE.  Which will be a Facebook creative story telling exercise.


All in all, a great weekend.  Now back to work for a few days until NCComiccon this weekend.

NCComiccon

Been working to get some things ready for NC Comiccon, always one of the biggest shows I do.  It is in Durham, which is not far away from me.  I have several fun ideas for prints, as well as a couple of other unique paintings and crafts.


This show has consistently been good to me, so I want to bring the best of my work.  Unfortunately I have been putting off working on issue #12 because of that (and other shows).  I have the story written, and blocked out, and the first 11 pages penciled.  I have some vacation time coming soon.  I am looking forward to sitting and working on the other projects, but especially issue 12.

Charlotte Pop Swap

Saturday Oct 25th I will be set up at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find's store for their Pop Swap event.  As many times as I have been to Heroescon since the late 80s, I have never been inside their store.  Kinda weird.  As always looking forward to having a fun day.  Hope to see lots of people. 


Anyone who says the secret phrase "The Funk of Forty Thousand Years" will get a prize.

Roanoke trip

I had a great show at Roanoke followed by a nice visit with my Mom and cousin this weekend.  A little tired, but a good comic book show always keeps me going for a while.  Roanoke has consistently been one of my best one day shows.  Its a long trip but always worth it.

creative, somewhat productive, but a bit down

That describes me as well as anything right now.  I have done some pages, some single pics that I may make prints of, and I have a con in Roanoke VA on Oct 18th.  Still a bit down.  I'm not getting as much done as I would like, and I am having some rough times at work (the day job).  I really treasure the time working on Intermezzo, or any art, but I've never been able to do it full time.  Think how much I could do with 8 hours a day of drawing time.  I think I could actually have a monthly book.  Wow, that boggles the mind.

Greenville

Had a big day at Nostalgia Newsstand's comic convention in Greenville, NC today.  One of my biggest 1 day shows ever.  Lots of fun, lots of people.
