So I’ve been in the continual process of proofreading CALL OF THE SCREAMING WICKED. It is frustrating, but on the other hand it definitely has improved my grammar to a solid 8th grade level, so I am making personal gains. Initially today I wanted to type out some rant about the economy, the downgrading of the middle class, and deregulation but… FUCK that! There are better and more knowledgeable essayists out there that can present an educated and researched report on such things.
I’m always overwhelmed with writing these posits. Then while perusing certain blogs I realized there are many artists in this World that don’t write anything, they just show off pictures from their sketchbook. Therefore, I will do the same. Here’s a concept sketch for Sailor Mick from HOW TO BE BULLETPROOF.
I changed the image for CALL OF THE SCREAMING WICKED #20, ‘Unwholesome erotica’, to be a bit more form fitting. Here is a comparison between the two images:
In other news, I finally got a semi-structured job, it’s not in x-ray but it is a job with guaranteed hours so I’m happy. I’m going to arrange my schedule around the new job so I’m hoping it will mean that I will get a lot of artwork done outside of work hours. We will see what happens, hopefully everything will work out.
Anyways, I think I’m finally completely finished with the literary abomination that is called CALL OF THE SCREAMING WICKED. At this point I’m going to put it down and start on my next project, which shall be entitled HOW TO BE BULLETPROOF. I understand that I have already done a comic with this title, so, this will be THE NEW HOW TO BE BULLETPROOF.
Here is a great painting a friend of mine, Julian Meyers, did of one of the main characters in my crime story HOW TO BE BULLETPROOF. I really like it, especially the thought balloon and the pie because that’s all Mick wants, a piece of it. If you’re wondering what I’ll be doing after CALL OF THE SCREAMING WICKED is over, I will be returning to HOW TO BE BULLETPROOF.
It may be done in a totally different style than the original, or it may be done in the exact same style. It all depends on my mood I guess, the only thing I can guarantee is that it will definitely be my next project. I’m excited about it, it’s going to be good, I think. Anyways, check out Julian’s blog. It is called A DISASSOCIATION OF IDEAS.
