Got to keep it up

I had to take a break today while working on a page from issue 2, & try to remember why I'm even doing this. I have all this debt from college loans, I don't have the job I would like, etc. I just took a break from drawing and dwelled in self-pity for about a half an hour. 


And then I looked back at my drawing board, and I thought well I'm not where I want to be, but I've never pushed myself this hard before. Coming home from work & then drawing for 4 or 5 hours until you go to bed it taxing. Giving up your free time, not hanging with friends is frustrating, but if I continue to work like this hopefully later this year... I'll see some sort of progress. 

Tell Em' Charles

There is no greater burden than great potential.- Charles Schulz. I agree, & that's why I'm busting my butt until April, laters.

What I Need To Do Next

Well, I have the 'Art Jamboree' coming up soon on April 7th, but what I realized is that is only the start. I need to get more connections on the Milwaukee Art scene. I just read about an illustration show in UWM's school paper. There is so much going on, & I need to be a part of it. April 7th is the start, & then it takes off from there.


Time to start making some moves.

Grade 5 got its 1st review!

Well the book got its 1st review from Comic Book Resources for their 'Indy Comics Month' which took place in February. Grade 5 was reviewed on my brother's b-day, Feb. 28th. That's pretty cool. It was a positive review & also pointed out some flaws from issue 1. Check out the link!

A few new pages

Here are pages 4 & 7. These were def. fun to work on & pretty much the bulk of the 'D-Day' dodge ball war. Page 4 in the start of the war & page 7 is basically the end. After I'm knocked out & come to with a bite mark on my face, things pretty much take off from there!

The cool part is I'll have the lettered pages soon. I'll post them as soon as I get them!

A few new pages

Here are a few unlettered pages from issue 2. I'll have more to post next week! I'll be a little over half way done at that point, which is awesome, except for the fact that it feels like some one is ripping my shoulder out of the socket. Gotta love tendonitis!

Some times life is way too complicated

Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending. 

Some one had this posted on their facebook status, & it made me think. I spend way too much worrying & working. But the key to that work is to be free, enjoy it, love it. I'm here, and working toward a very cool goal. I need to take it in. Live it, love it, listen to what I want to do with, I don't need to defend my project. And speak with confidence about it, humbly. 

With that being said, I'll be posting new images very soon.
