I still need to scan in the pages I completed last week. Ive been a mess all week. Somewhat productive but oh so messy. Lets start with the positive things: I got the next 5 commissions thumb nailed, I would’ve given myself extra credit had I colored them. I also should prolly post pictures of this stuff but that will be easier once my new computer gets here. I successfully outline my new personal comic that will be showing up once a month on the philly art blog. still haven’t signed a contract but whatever. If it some how falls though it wont be my doing. (is that how you say that?)
tonight I inked and toned a lone wolf and cub commission. Check out some footage of me doing that here. And finally I penciled and ink another commission. I still need to paint that and finish tightening up the lone wolf and cub piece as well. writing out everything that needs to be done as helped out tremendously but i seriously fucked up by not writing out what I wanted to accomplish each day this week. yeesh was that bad. so this week I will correct that by focusing on a single task a day with a bonus task attached to that. SO SO much shit to do.
Yesterday I also binged some tv after day drinking for breakfast. (that sounds way worse than it actually is or was) I came home from brunch and watched all of Mare of east town. Its one of my favorite shows on HBO and it was so good to rewatch especially knowing how it ends. I could focus on the cinematography and the writing and the set design and the colors. All top notch shit In my opinion and I do not own the vocab to describe how awesome this show is, but you’ll love it if you’ve spent a ton of time in the philly area. I spent the whole day watching an episode, then bouncing to do some work, then bouncing back to watch another and another until finally I just needed to kill the last two episodes. After that it was about 2 in the morning and I figured I was going to end up sleeping on the couch so I put on the crazies, the 2010 remake which I’ve seen a dozen times. Man this movie starts out so promising and somehow falls flat. It felt like they lost there budget half way through production and what could’ve been an awesome, escape from insanely violent towns people, gets boring as hell and ends on a whimper. I still need to watch the original. After that it was 4 in the morning and I was still up, so I said fuck it, lets see if Day of the dead is streaming and voila it was! I use to own this master piece on dvd and watch it constantly as a kid. Man was it nostalgia overload getting to revisit these characters and the world they live in. and that score. god damn. such an awesome movie filled with characters and actors that really give it there all. In my opinion it might George A romero’s best work. I didnt end up going to sleep until 730 in the morning but it was worth it. I haven’t watched that much tv in ages and I think it helped to refuel my creativity.
