Onward through the fog

NYCC's over, and the paper due in 15 minutes is just barely half-complete. It's a no-sleep night after four long days. It feels like my life's accelerated to the point that Twitter is in fact the right medium to document it. I have so little perspective on what I'm doing that I have to cling to the few flashes of long-view I get and just hope it's all rushing in the right direction. I don't know how I'm going to make it through final-papers time.

Sometimes I just want to punt it all to the curb and Occupy but I'm doing better for myself and for others where I am

I think.

Oh howdy, folks.



My life's been pretty exciting as of late.

( Contained within: relevance. )

Scott Menville is still the only man who ever gets hired to play sidekicks in comic cartoons.

Reply to this post with the phrase 'Findled in the checkout line' and I will free-associate five ityms of varying importance with you. Post about them in your journal when you spread the meme.

1. Traveling.
Can't live without it. I suspect it's partly inherited, this tendency to lead a life between plane flights. The idea that my life IS getting on a plane, going somewhere, and doing insane and interesting things until I get that itchin' in my shoes again (as the lady Kimya likes to say.) If New York gets to be home, and that there is a real hopeful if, it'll be at least part thanks to the way it's so connected to most anywhere else.

2. Success.
Can't happen if I don't shoot for it. I'm starting to think that maybe a good measure of how advantageous the next path will be is how much it utterly terrifies me.

3. Tim.
Is going to have a rough month. His fortunes are inversely related to mIne more often than I like to admit. Sorry, kiddo. We've had a weird sort of mental sublet thing going on for going on two years now. He pays rent in entertainment, and lightening up my universe.

4. Food.
I like it? In spite of the unfortunate habit of forgetting meals. Been raised to believe it's important to obtain & consume good food, and to directly connect various failures of mind and body with failure to do so. Dang, I need lunch.

5. Demon-claws. (art)
The best stuff I do on paper always has a little element of the creepy in it. I try for cute, I do, and it either looks manufactured or vague and blurry. Or it turns out creepy TOO, ref. NYC Heartless.
I still don't remember drawing those demon claws. But now I want to try again.

Attn: lexiphiles! Comment here with an unusual word you happen to know and like, and maybe we'll give each other one we don't know. Today's word from me is polymath: one who dabbles in multiple fields of interest.

Before there was Toon Titans...






( More from The Titans, some old school Green Arrow, and random shit under the cut. )

(you were delicious)

So!

PUSH - Surprisingly not a bad movie!

Actually not that surprising- it did come with the highest recommendation. I could absolutely RP in that premise. And I hear there are comics?

Incoming paneldump: Green Arrow and Black Canary in olden days, + more reasons you should read Blue Beetle. + some Batman of many ages, + misc.




( ps: Batman STILL hates America. )

Just vague, terrible attempts to get coordinated with the pen.

|3 It was on sale. How could I not?


ps ( Also, some ink-brush things. The courtyard of Arkham Asylum, and a gift for Eva. )

Good night.

... So!

Way to go, DC. Very... greek tragic.

no, srsly. What the fuck. Why do I even bother.

Yep. Time for a paneldump.

Say guys, remember the days before this was funny because it was true?

( Sir, market research indicates our readers DON'T enjoy seeing their childhood heroes raped, murdered, or otherwise brutalized. )

Yeah. That's damn right, Bigger than Cheeses. We really oughta go back to the classics, the days when comics were good and wholesome and made you feel okay!



( ... let's try that again. )
