Hi, Folks!
I’ve got lots of stuff on my mind.
First up, we received our ISSN numbers from the Library of Congress today. That means we can make barcodes and get our comics back into brick & mortar comic shops. I’m quite happy about this.
Benita and I have been working really hard at reclaiming our house. We’ve always been clutter bugs, but in the wake of fixing up rooms and moving stuff around the situation got worse. Now, the den and the laundry room are both painted, and we have to order new floors. Then, everything can go back into place. If a cluttered environment is a reflection of a cluttered mind, then Benita and I are out to change our minds. You can see more about this at Basically Benita.
Bill Nicholls, Editor of Sketch Magazine, has a new website called Comics Mentor. He’s been quite prolific so far in writing inspirational blog posts for artists and life, and his words have spurred even an old cynic like me to try harder. Check it out.
I’ve spent the last two days writing the next scene in “Johnny Saturn,” and I’m still not done. I think it’s safe to say I’m not the fastest writer in town. Still, this part of the script covers ten pages, aka twenty episodes, so it’s a pretty sizable chunk of writing. After I’m done with it, it goes to Benita for editing.
As I understand it, Warren Ellis’ “Nextwave: Agents of Hate” is coming out in an ultimate edition. Clearly, I’m thrilled with this news. Ellis has long been among my top favorite writers,* up there with Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison. It should also be noted that I am waiting for the fourth and final volume of “Planetary” to come out.
Scott.
*If you don’t know, the first twelve issues of the “Authority” had a huge impact on me.
