Got laid off at Heavy-Iron today. Finished SpongeBob and that budget constriction of no more Nick money caused another belt tightening. Me and 7 others.
I'm sure I'll find something but it might not be in games. I'm a little long in the tooth for a new hire in games.
I'm thinking about a concept from Chris Hardwicke. Multi Freelanceing, looking for client like recurrence.
Got enough dough to think about the situation for a few weeks.

I mostly got toys- but I got a couple of Harvey Comics with Howie Post in them.
My favorite thing I got was this 1/12th scale model of a Gibson Les Paul! I used to own one, so it fills me with happy nostalgia! Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Sugar Pops Pete are now resting with my soakie toy collection.
with a regular income I probably would have gotten 20 times this, saw a lot I could have bought but held out and kept my buying to the small budget I alotted for. In the days of yor I would have dropped $800 easy....Oh the golden days of yesteryear. "snif...sob"
It's 5:20 am. I couldn't go back to sleep until I had confessed all. I bought mostly used children's books from the "Bud Plant - Hutchison Used Books" booth. Some from "Stuart Ng Fine Art Books", and from the small press, alternative and independent booths. Nothing mainstream this year. I think I kept it under $200. Not bad. Special love for the children's book art of my childhood, the Eisenhower years; soft, comforting, safe style.
Just to let those know who are wondering, I'm at table GG-04 in Artist's Alley. Look for the very last Cafe Express sign on the back wall to the left, I'm in that row.
Here is the link to the publisher's sample (aka: dummy) of "Batter! Broil!! Baste!!! The Comic Creators Cookbook" as uploaded to the Scribd Website. I've never used Scribd before, but so far it appears to do everything as advertised. What you see here is only five of the approximately 95 recipes the finished book will contain and I will use this sample to lure a publisher into working with myself and Jill Duffy to finish, polish, and publish the balance.
If you want to see the book and flip the pages like a book, then go to the link from the title. There is a little pull down menu in the lower left corner that allows you to view as SCROLL, BOOK, or SLIDESHOW. I like BOOK because there is a two page comic originally done by Roger Robinson that is best viewed with both pages on screen at the same time.
Otherwise, explore this cool new technology and have fun with it. BBB Dummy Final Master
Up and running so to speak. Go there now to see a very non-interactive "coming soon" screen. There a new color picture at least, so there. I will get the site fully functional after the Con.
I inked and colored this lovely drawing by John K- for some newsletter. It's gonna be in black in white, but we decided to make it in color for the hell of it! I did draw Bobby Bigloaf's hand holding a limp lightsaber. I told John without it, it's unrecognizable that he's in Luke Skywalker cosplay. It just looks like a bathrobe, haha.
This is where I'll be at the Con (I'm listed as "Pals"):
Another year is upon us and no mention of a possible gathering of the TAG forces. I was thinking of an alternative of going to Dennys or something after the show hours on one of the later days (Frtiday or Saturday). Anyway other suggestions are welcomed too.
Hi everyone. Been running around like a goose with diaretic issues getting ready for the Con. I just okayed the printer in NY for 100 copies of Cork that should get here the DAY of preview night. Today I also bought a domain name for http://www.corkcomic.com/! I've also decided at the last minute to print a bunch of postcards to hand out at the table. Take a look and see if you guys might have any last minute essential additions. Thanks!
Oh, Beata! I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you on the quality of the NY printer. Give me a call and I'll give you the lowdown. I haven't had time to write it!
It's inspiring stuff (The Spirit) listening to all the patter about Eisner, and great filmmakers.
This was a doodle that I did a speed inking job. I'm trying to have fun inking in photoshop. I'm getting there. At least getting to where it's becoming fun.
Thanks again for the feedback. The composition isn't quite as all over the place. Take a look at what about three early morning hours meant to the cover (quite a bit) ...
I intimated earlier about a comic book project I picked up at last year's Con. I'm penciling, coloring, and lettering and my friend, Johnny B. Gerardy is embellishing / inking. Fun it is. I'm up to page seven on the pencils and this is the first page w/colors and letters. I blanked out any identifying marks and figure I can put this page up for views.

Is he in Europe? Is he working on his book? Is he coming to ComicCon? Ellis, have you been in contact with him?
