Progress, as it is

So... things that have been happening. The new job so far is going well, we will see how it goes. Still having issues that are keeping number six from being ordered, that's pretty aggravating.

I have begun issue seven, it is written and sketched out, and I have pencilled the first three and a half pages. I have the schedule set for this one, and as of right now I am ahead of that.

I did not make an appearance at the last Charlotte Comicon like i was scheduled to. Some bad weather the night before (and a nervous wife) kept me home. I know it was a wise choice, but I still hated having to make it. But I will be back there in the future.

So, that's where things are right now. i hope to get a schedule from the new day job that will allow me to set my schedule for this years cons.

hopefully a BIG change

I am starting a new job today. One that is a 40 hour a week, not as much physical activity and no nights and only a little on the weekends. This is a HUGE change from where I have been working. I am excited and calm at the same time.

This will mean more time for Intermezzo, more time for my wife, more time for my life in general. What i hope this will mean will be more frequent issues of Intermezzo, which is difficult to do when you do it all yourself.

Issue 6 is still ready to scan and send to Ka-Blam, I hope to do so soon. I am working on the script for issue 7, and hope to begin that soon as well.

Denied!

I have finished issue 6 and the Fanaticon card, but I am having problems with my scanner. Well crap.

#6 is almost finished!

I just finished inking the last page of issue #6 last night. I still have to color/paint the cover and the interior cover work, but it is very close. I am very excited about this issue, and I am anxious to finish it.



The NCComicon last weekend was lots of fun, i hope they do another soon.

Hopefully i will be posting soon that #6 is off to the printer. Right now the next project is finishing a trading card for Fanaticon.

Busy Busy

Been working away on Issue #6, as of tonight I have 3 1/2 pages left to ink and the cover to color. Been working away at work, as of tonight i have been busy for months with nowhere near as much time to work on Intermezzo as I would like.

NCComicon in Morrisville is next weekend; I am definitely looking forward to it. I haven't been to a show in a few months and I miss it. I hope to have issue 6 done before then, not that I could have it printed by then I just want to have it done. I also hope to have time to work on some artwork for the show; don't know if that will happen.

So here's the deal, if you read this and come up to me at the show and say the phrase "the funk of forty thousand years" you will get a free prize. If you name who said it and where I will give you 2 free prizes.

Stuff... just stuff

Not much is happening. dragoncon at the beginning of the month, that was cool. Makes me think about setting up there one year, maybe... one year.

NCComicon is coming up in Nov. looking forward to that one.

Been working on issue 6 as much as i can. Work has been brutal lately, my body is trying to shut down on me. Unfortunately my schedule doesn't have time to slow down and take it easy until I feel better. I've finished inking through page 9, not bad but no where near where i want to be. Same old story.

dragoncon

I made it back from Dragoncon. Flying really made the trip a lot easier. Instead of spending 8 hours on the road, I spent 1 hour in the air. It cost more but was worth it.

While in Atlanta I met Stan Lee, got a couple of autographs (Avengers #4 and Avengers #63 (the second comic book story I ever read, this copy was signed by Roy Thomas- the writer, and Gene Colan- the artist). My best friend Jeff and i also got a picture made with Stan.

I took almost 400 pictures. I plan to post some of them on my Flickr page soon. I also plan on posting a lot of pictures on Facebook, so look for me there. This is my first weekend home in a month, so it will be nice to get some things done (but more importantly to spend some time with Wendy).

Back, tired, busy, and happy.
