lifestyles of the poor and obscure
ever have one of those weekends? i think i just had 2 at the same time. but, life goes on, until it doesn’t. got lots of drawing done, so that’s fun.
decided to add a goal to my patreon account. if you were on the fence, and needed to feel like you were accomplishing more than just chipping in on my beer fund, here’s your chance! i figure if i hit my goal, i can use the money to do a small print of the comic, up until this point. if you weren’t aware, i’ve been bundling them and putting them up on comixology. and while that’s alot of work, it also doesn’t bring in much money. yay. BUT, that means they’re pretty much publish-ready. covers and everything. so, if and when i can hit the goal, i’ll put together whatever i have up to that point in book form, actual paper, and put them out there into the world. and of course, i fully intend to try to give them discounted or free to my patreon peeps. it’s the right thing to do.
so, if that happens, great. if not, well, i’m still drawin it, and it won’t be done for…. wow, years. but the fun is in the doing. and i can’t tell you how good it is for my practicing to have deadlines. haven’t missed one yet!
speakin of drawing, last weekeend’s solos drawin jam was alot of fun. when i have the time to goof around like that, i dig it. doesn’t happen all the time, but i might make it a semi regular thing. and since you’re reading this sentence, let’s hear the suggestions. the next few people that mention something (one thing) i will come up with some sort of drawing incorporating them. let’s hear some nouns people! and all you quiet readers that never say nuffin’, speak up. it won’t kill ya. and you don’t have to log in, or have an account or anything. my whole comment situation is pretty inf0rmal.
don’t have any movies to talk about. i heard the new alien movie wasn’t everything it could have been. i mean, i’ll still see it at some point, but seeing as how prometheus lowered the bar to near jar jar binks levels, how hard could it have been to get a win? anyone got any movie recommendations? it’s been a while since i saw a good one, and i’m hurtin real bad. i need a fix.
Intergalactic Cephalopods!
i’m adding it to the image.
Blame! on Netflix.
now that looks interesting….. i mean, on the youtube. i like anime that looks adult, without looking childish. good call!
It’s got one hell of a premise. It is based on a comic by the same title that can be found with an easy Google search. I was terrified they were going to ruin it…but they changed the perspective of the story and it works surprisingly well.
Cheers! And since I have your attention for a moment, I adore your work and the world you’ve built. It’s like a symphony of catastrophe and I listen with rapt attention.
well thanks very much for saying so. i’m always up for unsolicited compliments, haha. and wow. what a picture you’ve painted! i like the description though. i may use that at some point.
and thanks for the recommendation. i plan to check that out sometime this weekend. schedule permitting.

mr south, you do my head in. but yeah, it’s a challenge. stay tuned.
A movie? Apocalypse Now Redux. Why? Because it makes sense. Yeah, it’s long, and I saw it in a theater with really, really comfy seats. Sat tight through the whole thing. But the thing is, the long version is a continuous story, about going up the river. It holds up well.
Another good movie? The Deer Hunter. One of my friends sent me a cartoon that made me think of it. Citizen Kane is also good, and I saw that in the theater when it was re-released.
A good science fiction movie? Um, those really are few and far between. When Hollywood gets ahold of something, they mash it into their Hollywood template. Sad.
What’s good at the box office? I looked, but nothing is worth the price they’re asking. Really, movies used to be cheap. Now they are expensive, and a lot of that has to do with the new digital projection equipment. Each of those projectors runs $250,000. And they have to be replace every so often with better models. With film projectors, the same equipment would go 50 years or more. (This is from the local theater, that tried to have a fundraiser to upgrade their equipment so they could show first-run movies. They only raised about 10% of what was needed.)
i’ve seen all those, but i like you sensibilities. not to be ‘that guy’, but they just don’t make movies like that anymore.
but, i keep my eyes open!
Sounds like we had the same kind of weekend. All I wanted to do was relax, but the universe had other plans. I don’t know of any good movies to recommend either. I usually get my ideas from you! Kubo and the Two Strings was the last one I watched, and it was surprisingly good, but no grownup movies are thrilling me…especially no new ones. More drawing fun? How about…the absolute sexiest shark you can create? I’m tired, so that’s all I can think of right now.
i liked kubo! it was a fun little romp. i didn’t care for the story as much as i liked the style. taking chances isn’t rewarded. sadly.
ok, sexiest… shark. do sharks have sex? discovery channel!!! you and the school system have let me down! anyways, i’ll hook you up.
