So, this was supposed to be the super-fast catchup page. If my sinuses hadn't been completely on fire the past three days, It would've been done on Sunday and anything that looked rushed could be excused. It's now Tuesday, and it's all a bit harder to let slide. But let slide I will!

*******************************
In case anyone else was confused, my comic book reality show graphic novel idea was NOT reflective of actual REALITY. Normally, I wouldn't worry about such things, but I think Al's Heimer smacked Marcos upside the head over the weekend.

Congratulations are in order for Mr. Kenneth Belasco, Esq. We're all required to call him that now that he's freakin' ENGAGED! This guy goes from dodgin' fistpunch to bended knee like Formula racers. That's right, I'll make public stinks.

*******************************
Pitchfork does the Top 50 Albums of 2007, and actually manage to make the year seem WORSE than the Tracks List did. That's some ugly shit right there. If I get the chance, I'll make up my Top 10 list sometime soon. I will check out this LCD Soundsytem album first. It better be good!

Many moons ago, I tried reading Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix Vol. 1. I did not make it very far. But, now that I've better learned to appreciate Tezuka, I've given it a second go round. 190 pages in, and it's shaping up to be my favorite comic of the moment. I humbly beg forgiveness to anyone who can't be bothered to work up the proper amount of incredulity at my previous disinterest.

Page 16! For the amount of time this spent on my drawing board, it should really be better. But it's no better than it is. NEXT!

I actually scanned these way back in the ancient days of December 9. I really need to catch up.

PROJECT BYRNE

57-Minute Drawing



I just finished watching the first season of Project Runway and I think I turned into John Byrne. I feel a little Deuce Dirties.

THE VACATION MUST END

Sorry, internet. Sometimes I just don't want to share. Sometimes I don't want to hear how your day was. And sometimes I just want to watch. But there comes time when the vacation must end and we need to renew our vows, internet.

34-Minute Warm Up Drawing, Return to the Fold



I put on Marcos' latest tracklisting for the new album and went to work. It's a surprisingly good list. When I looked at it, I actually thought he was messing with me, but it flows pretty damn well. We've been going back and forth with song orders in an effort to nail it and this is one of the better ones. Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be done for New Years and the seventh anniversary of our first recording session, but it might be done in time for the seventh anniversary of the first album's creation. Maybe. We'll see when he finally thinks the mix is right.
