Long time, no blog. I'm past apologizing, deal with it!
But, because its been forever long I finally have news, I have a reason for it! I have been working with the fine folks at 70/30 Studios designing cartoons! Pretty awesome, and sorry for not sharing sooner, but I gotta play by the rules! So yea, I'm going to be helping them out and will be moving to the ATL in May, which is pretty exciting. For those of you who are still saying, "Um, that's kinda cool but who is 70/30?" ----Well, I'm glad you asked! 70/30 is a swell animation studio that brought you such great cartoons as Sea Lab 2021
And currently the greatly funny Frisky Dingo;
(who's first season is now on DVD, and is worth every penny, so go pick it up!)
But this is why art has slowed down a tad, and I am still taking on commissions, but they just haven't been posted as regularly. I'm pretty pumped to be apart of the team, during my visit everyone seemed super awesome, so moving day in May can't come soon enough. I'll still keep on top of comics, it's my love, but it will be nice to collaborate on something this big with other artists. Gonna be a great ride!
The trip to Atlanta itself was alright, I live in Maine, and flew out of Boston, but dropped my car off in New Hampshire, so it was a lot of travel. 4hrs to NH, Hour and a half into Boston, then the 2 hour flight into ATL. Pretty exhausting, but well worth it to meet Neal (art director of 70/30 and writer and toner for Giant Killer Turtle) and his super great friends, and co workers. Finding an apartment itself while in Atlanta was kinda exhausting. Saw one real shit hole in particular. In a part of town I wasn't to keen on, we saw a 3 bedroom with piss stained carpet, a wall that had been chewed through by a dog and a bedroom with an old stained chair in the middle of walls covered floor to ceiling in maxim magazine covers.... But, thankfully I was told the paint underneath the Maxim 'wallpaper' could be removed and had fresh paint underneath. Yea, I don't think the rank semen stains could be removed from that floor no matter how hard it was scrubbed. No thanks....
On top of this I had another Land Lady tell me if I asked if the neighborhood was safe she would bitch-slap me. No thanks...
But by monday I had signed a lease and am now the proud renter of what should be a cool apt. And, their is a good chance I'll be able to hit up Dragon-Con! WOOP!
But that is what is new with me, Next blog should happen fairly soon, and have some important news on Giant Killer Turtle, and Rex O'Bannon, that I just can't tell you yet (sorrrrr'ay!) I've also got a slew of LOTR cards and some Marvel Masterpiece cards that I NEED to get commissioned before I move, I posted them, so please make me an offer!!!
