The State of The Union: October 15th, 2003.
As much for my benefit as it is for yours, really. I have to get everything straight. Writing it out helps.
Current Projects
Lucas and Odessa, for Girlamatic. Once a week, every week, until it's done.
Sparkneedle, for Girlamatic. Already finished, in a holding pattern.
Gazelle. Stupid fucking comic for this site that I refuse to take responsibility for. Coming along, should be finished before the weekend. There, I've ruined the surprise.
Templar, another comic for this site. Weekly, like Sparkneedle. Multichaptered and drawn as we go, like Lucas and Odessa. Black and white, like Gazelle. A personal comic I've been needing to do for ages and ages. I plan on uploading each chapter page by page, then BitPassing completed past chapters. It's safely out of "idle talk" phase, with a handful of pages already finished. But I'll like to get a nice, two-month buffer in before I post anything. Since this comic will be (initially) free, it'll be the first to suffer if I ever fall behind. But rest assured, It won't be abandoned. It's too personal. This comic stars those notorious "had-em-since-I-was-twelve!" characters most cartoonists maintain.
Holiday card, for whoever wants one. Sketched out. I'll probably do the final next week. Then, I've got to find a printer. (Currently taking suggestions...?) I'd like to get this done before the rush.
Second Tier Stuff
I'll be illustrating a chapter or two for another BadAzzMoFo project for m'buddy Dave Walker. Not sure how much I can say about it, so we'll leave it at that. Can't do much until I get the scripts in January or thereabouts, though.
RPG book illustrations. Former side job, active again without warning, really ought to get on top of it. Actively ashamed how long this is taking me, especially considering the people involved are actually paying decent rates.
Collaboration with a really nice guy, Charles, on a really freaky comic book. Again, waiting on script completion before this goes ahead. Charles worked on the first draft of Brazil, so you can kind of imagine what this thing is like.
Fan Art for Dirk, Derek, Zack, and Lisa. I will get to this, I will get to this, I WILL.
The Exquisite Corpse. Round-robin comic project. Slow moving, but beautiful results. Think I might have to sit out the next round, though, or at the very least, go last. It'll all eventually be a book or BitPassed webcomic.
Backburner Territory
BLIKADA, The Atrocity Buddies, Ordinary, Al & Gideon, Wreckers, Anything, Inc., Creation Myth, and the other goddamn ideas I've had for other comics. I'm not saying they'll never get done, but no one should go on a hunger strike, mmkay?
The Freak Portfolio. I've just got too much going on right now. It can wait, other things can't. You know how it is.
Learning to paint. Slowly. Slooooowly. And finally...
Re-opening freelance. Maybe, when things slow down. But again, not anytime soon.
Sorry. Had to do this. MY HEAD IS VERY FULL.

Hope: You should try it. It really helps in the organization department.
Oh hey, an' Lisa, I don't think you emailed this to me, ut you definitely mentioned 'em before. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I've been distributing my copies of the Naturalist's Guide to Art School to art-school grads and dropouts I know, and they've all died gruesome, blood-spitting deaths as a result of laughing until their internal organs ruptured.
Not a pretty picture. I blame you.
...is it terrible of me to look longingly at your Blikada stuff? I was raised on Stalingrad stories (odd childhood) and it makes me pant.

I always knew my bitterness was lethal...
And I look longingly at my Blikada stuff, too, damn it.... I wanna draw all of the ugly farm animals and explain the casts system and tech levels and crap... But argh, NO TIME.
PS: Hi, Dylan!

Anyway, the thing you should really all be looking forward to is GAZELLE.
