Another Tuesday... more than half over.


If you ever find yourself sitting at my desk and you look up, say to watch my beta fish, you will see my motivational momento mori. When I need to focus, I just have to remember to keep drawing and that a shark will eat me… someday. There’s no time to lose. What can I say, there’s something to be said for keeping everything simple.

Another gray day in the JC. It looks like autumn arrived a few days early, which makes me extremely happy. The worse the weather, or maybe the more dramatic the weather, the more energized I am. Long, lazy days of sunlight and heat just bore the crap out of me.

So here’s where things stand:

I’m still editing the punk book, but that should be wrapped up in the next week or so.

And then there’s the witch book. I suddenly find myself until the middle of October to prepare my dummy book and finished drawings. Extra time is usually a good thing, but right now, it’s slightly annoying. Of course, it’s only annoying to me and only annoying because I have too much time to think about what I’m doing. Extra time usually leads to second guessing. I keep looking at what I’m doing and wondering if I’m on the right track. Very annoying. Especially, since I’m definitely designing the book I want to make. But oh well, such is life. I’ll keep blundering on, starting and restarting until I run out of time and have to show somebody something.

Right now, looking at the witch book, I sort of have that feeling that I should just start drawing it. It’s a ridiculous notion, as this is a team project and that I only have two or three weeks to pull together a functional proposal, whereas a completed book would take months of effort. But that’s what I’m thinking.

Anyway, I’m off to work on the dummy book in the hope that I can show version 3.0 to Mr. Odone this weekend. Aw man, the stupid sun is coming out.
