I have gone four straight days without writing. It sucks. I find myself questioning my skills, my motivation, my lot in life. I also find myself reflecting on a very nice long weekend away. I try not to stress. I’ll write again. Won’t we all…?
Tonight I sit down, there’s a million distractions, but there’s also [...]

I bought some art. I don’t think I’ve ever bought art before. I’ve bought posters, plenty of posters, but never any art, and especially not real art.
I’ve mentioned Mitch Breitweiser before. He’s just a guy, you know, a guy drawing Captain America: The Chosen and getting himself listed on the Wizard Top Ten Artists List, [...]

Marko Djurdjevic is a genius, there is no other way to put it. I first noticed his work on the covers for Daredevil. His cover of DD and Gladiator wrestling on the ground just blew me away. It was the sort of picture you just wanted to sit close to and really look at for [...]

Marvel is behind him, NY Comic-Con is behind him. I’m behind him…no, not like that, he has a girlfriend. And a cat.

I spent my afternoon rocking out Excel, which means I was slaving on a laptop, not writing, and secretly hating all things to do with reports, even those of the TPS variety. Copying a cell, for its specific Validation, and then pasting it into a different file. Once in that file I have to spread [...]

I’m wondering if an Australian comic, one set in Australia, will ever sell in the real world, which is code for the States? My series that I am working on pitching soon, Ego, is set in Australia, and I really want that because I want another view of the superhero genre. Australia is a very [...]

I was thinking today about comic writers as I walked down the road to get my lunch, as I am want to do. What else would I be thinking about? Work? Pfft!
I was thinking about Matt Fraction, as I was listening to his latest Word Balloon interview on my ride to work this morning, and [...]

I was reading Resurrection, issue two I think, not issue three with my sweet letter printed, and there was a preview for a comic called North World. It’s about some guy getting about, and he looks like he is just some dude rocking it, but then he pulls out a sword and attacks some giant [...]

I’ve gone through the notes, now it is time for the creation to come alive. I like a story when it is noted down, but I fucking love it when it’s talking to me. I have to get a feel of how all the characters talk, how they interact, and I only get that through [...]

Everything seems to be whizzing by so fast, it’s insane. Work is keeping me busy, I have just finished one English unit to teach, about expositions, and now I have to finish another one based around comprehension, this is because I have now ‘volunteered’ to be on a special literacy committee at school.
I have about [...]
