A Step Closer to the Sun 8:32 AM

I do not claim to have any taste. Well, that's not quite true. I am a snob. I'm the bastard who sneers at the trailers for the new Ron Howard movie or the next Adam Sandler comedy. In a world filled with crap we're only offered more and more crap to waste the hours until we die. Crap for consumption. Because the alternative is boredom. God forbid that you find yourself unentertained for a brief moment. So we fill the emptiness of our lives with poorly made movies built on misfired concepts designed will only the idea to seperate you from your money. Properties that you must pay for but you can never own.

With Bruce and Mundee gone to JAFAX I divided up the weekend between checking on the cats and watering Mundee's plants and watching cartoons on Boomerang and Nicktoons....And inking and drawing up comicstuff.

Sunday I ended up going to Asel Art for Pelikin Ink. I ended up buying a pencil sharpener and an electric eraser and some Pro White, too. I should've gotten an extra brush for the Pro White.

Looks like I won another Sima FX Ed/It on eBay on Sunday, too. We'll find out if this one works. I hope it does.

Ms Echo rescued some kittens, too. I'll post the photos soon.

Wool Gathering 12:44 PM

Bob Mould is singing Husker Du songs again according to Punk Planet. This news hits me right after I read about a Replacements reunion for Rhino. And I'm about a hundred and fifty days from turning forty. And the world won't end anytime soon. I can't start talking about life in past tense, not now, not yet.

Reading about Participatory Culture just makes me want to produce more and more. I just wish I could make some money off of it. But it's all a crapshoot out here...

Robert Anton Wilson: Maybe Logic
I found this on the recent releases page on Netflix, so I rented it. I wasn't disappointed.

Watch it in order or randomly pick out a chapter, like I did, and you get alot of thought provoking ideas and ideology straight from the mouth of Robert Anton Wilson to your ear. I had forgotten many of the bits about the limitations of language and our own personal virtuality. But it's all here and I recommend it to anybody and everybody...

HELLswag 8:49 PM

I wonder how many requests I'll get?

The PNG that I whipped together in Illustrator looks really good, too. And no anti-aliasing problems, either. Time to pull out some of my older attempts and try to make them into PNGs...

Rivers of it. I've got stacks of sketches and inks and oddends and I'm still adding to it all. I destroyed alot of my art a couple of years ago. Training wheel stuff. Stuff that wasn't me, at least it wasn't at that point in my curve. Not necessarily embarrassing stuff. But not quite. You know?

Where does it go where it came to?

Never bored, need sleep 1:52 PM

Much to do, much to get done. Now that A-Kon is past I'm working on inking and comix and finishing up inks on Edstuff for publication. Much of the Edstuff has already been started, I just need to do some finishes and it'll be passed on to Bruce to tone and put into format.

And it's all good...
