It’s sad to say, that this memorial day weekend, will have been the first time, and hopefully last time, that I will be late for a strip.

The panels are drawn, and inked, but right now, sitting at home, waiting to be edited and uploaded.  However, it’s been a fight all week to get some time to put in the finishing touches, and upload the finished product to the servers.

Lucky for you, true believers, I will do my best to make sure the comic gets to you by Monday afternoon.  The issue I’m having is true, high speed internet, is fairly difficult to find at this point.  But I’ve managed to secure something somewhat reliable, and will be transferring it from my home PC to my notebook.

Thanks for following my attempts at artistry, and keeping up with the strip.

Is there a movie you’re curious about watching, but don’t know if it’s worth the money?

Don’t trust Internet review sites because of all the spoilers, and all you want to know is, “Is this a piece of crap, or is it worth my time and money?”

Well, donate one dollar to me (or euros, for my European cousins) and I will tell you without spoilers, if the film is worth seeing.

Wolverine showing off his new claws

OK fanboys, enhance your calm.  There will be some spoilers here, but I’ve kept them to a minimum, and they’re near the end.  So those of you who prefer to live in a media blackout for geek flicks are somewhat safe.

In short, the movie was as enjoyable as the first X-Men movie.  Jackman and Schrieber owned the movie, and by all rights, they deserved it.  Ryan Reynolds IS Wade Wilson, and I wish he got more screen time. OK, if you’re on the fence about this movie, buy your tickets and watch it.

If you’re a nitpicking fanboy, who is still pissed that Jackman never wore the blue and gold tights, stay home and play with your action figures, you’ll be sorely upset.

Now. Spoilers to follow.  You’ve been warned.

Let’s face it, some of us can’t make it to the gym for various reasons. Whether we’re too lazy, not motivated enough, or just can’t afford those monthly membership fees, it doesn’t mean we can’t get out of our chairs and into a better body. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

OK, so, in my last article, I explained how to scann in your artwork into a high resolution photoshop file. In case you’ve forgotten, scan in your art as 600 dpi if you plan on working with print or web, higher still if you want the picture for something larger. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Just found out that two nerds on reddit think my comic sucks.

Now, after having survived bullies, psycho ex-girlfriends, crazed cats and gang bangers, what breaks through my thick skin are the words of a bunch of nerds on the Internet. It’s something I knew I’d have to face when I started posting my artwork online, and it’s the biggest killer of creativity in all forms; dealing with critics.

No matter what you do in life, what you create or what you pour your soul into, someone out there will try to take a piss on it.  Mostly, I take it in stride, but I find that in this moment, I’m somewhat saddened.

However, their opinion carries the most weight with me, because they are my kin.  They are like me.

I’m going to have to deal with schmucks like these as long as I write or draw, I’m aware of this.  I’ve even heard from those I look up to in the industry, that this kind of crap never goes away.  So, I guess, in my own way, I have arrived.

I finally have haters!

Live your m’fing life. Get your hustle on. Understand people are gonna hate you regardless. Get that out of your head, that fantasy world where people ain’t hating on you. You gotta be grateful. You need haters. WTF you complaining about. WTF do you think a haters job is? To f’ing hate. So let them do their damn job. – KATT WILLIAMS

You should always think of any image, as a collection of dots. On the web, these are called pixels, which is a single unit of color, or a colored dot. In the print world, these dots are also called pixels, or dots. A screen can only display 72 pixels, per inch, whereas in the print world, you can put as many in as you can fit. The standard tends to be 300 pixels per inch, or dpi (dots per inch) for textbook quality. However, the more dots, the better the picture, and the bigger you can stretch it out.

Ok, so I’m trying out some ads, both on my site and on other web sites. Right now, it’s the best way to monetize my work, until I can get enough of a readership to warrant useful crap like shirts and stuff.

Feel free to drop me a line, and tell me how you found my little slice of the Internet.

Hope you enjoy my work, and I’m pleased to meet ya!

They say the shoemaker’s son doesn’t have shoes. I’m not sure who this guy is, but Child Services needs to get involved with that.

I make this corny joke for a reason; the site is going through changes. As a new blogger, I need to tell you about every thought that passes through my mind, and every movement that travels through my bowels.

Therefore, you have been warned. I am making changes. If you’d like to contribute, let me know. If you have suggestions, pass them along.

If you don’t like something I’m doing…well, you should tell me, shouldn’t you?

I just got back from checking out a co-working space around Varick Street. This is an interesting concept for me, as it makes me feel like I’m going somewhere with my business, and lets me balance freelance work, with social interaction.

Ever since I left the 9 to 5 days behind, the hardest thing to deal with was the lack of social interaction with my peers, outside of the party scene that is.

I think a co-work space, with other creative entrepreneurs would do good for someone like me, and I highly recommend it for anyone else looking to break out of the cubicle.

New Work City, I like the cut of your jib!
