Kneel Before the iPhone!

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

So, did I get one? No. Do I want one? Hells, yes! Will I buy it? No. From everything I’ve been reading about the iPhone, it’s living up to its expectations. I really think that the iPhone will raise the bar for cell phones in general. There’s a lot of slickness and ease of use [...]

Drivin' Like the Demon the Drives Your Dreams

Friday, June 29th, 2007

My friend Mike Horkan surprised me with some pictures this week. I don’t know much about video games. Tetris was probably the last one I played regularly. But Mike’s big into them, and recently got Forza Motorsports 2 for the XBox 360. You can customize the cars in the game, but you can’t import graphics. [...]

So What Do You Do For an Encore?

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

You start the next one. Well, not really "start" so much as do the cover. This lets me advertise it in the back of #5, and I have to have it done soon anyway, as it’ll be time to send it into Diamond for the solicitation. The story for #6 actually came as I was [...]

Doneish!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

The big hurdle has been, well, hurdled. I finished page 24 of Love and Capes, so the brunt of the book is done. I still need to write my author’s page, and maybe do the cover of #6 so I can toss that in the back of the issue. But with this finish, hopefully my [...]

She Makes That Outfit Work

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

One page until the big finale. Heck, I’m so jazzed about being this close that I almost want to stay up and finish it. Of course, I’m typing this at 1:00am with a rerun of Star Trek: The Next Generation ("Hide and Q" if you’re interested, which is also one of the first scripts I [...]

So Close I Can Almost Smell It

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

I don’t know that the finish of a book has a smell, but if it did, that scent would be wafting through the studio today. Page 22 is done! There are only eleven panels left to draw, color and script now. Mark’s trying to make Abby feel better, and offers up a trip to San [...]

Blackjack time

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Almost done now. Three pages left, and I think I can do a page a day from here on in. In this page, Abby’s bad day continues and she calls Mark for a little support. This page also features a reappearance by my friend, fellow Councilman, and mailman, Robin, playing the part of, well, the [...]

Talkin' 'Bout My Reputation

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

With Love and Capes #4–the retail edition in stores, reviews are starting to filter in. And they’re good! ..let’s look at the indie publication Love and Capes. It’s a fairly simple light comedy about a superhero who reveals his identity to his girlfriend. The main character is a Superman analog, and there are analogs of [...]

My First, Best Destiny

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

I’m back from the Licensing Show, and will hopefully write much more about it tomorrow. Really quick, though, it was a good show and I think good things will come from it. One of the coolest parts, though, was that the CBS/Paramount booth had a replica of the bridge and command chair. And I, um, [...]
