Day 7

Alright, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to work a little harder on this blog layout then I had originally thought.  Not a problem for I have nothing but time.  This is the basic layout thus far.  I'm going to incorporate some of my artwork in the header and various other places.

In other, better news, I've been in correspondence with a published author from the U.K. who is interested in collaborating on a Graphic Novel.  If you're interested (and you should be her work is very, very good) her name is Kay Sexton and has been widely published in various magazines, won numerous awards, and has been chosen for publication in over thirty anthologies.  Last night I was blessed enough to read a piece that has yet to be published - as well as ones that have - and I have to say that I can see her storytelling matching my artwork exquisitely and visa versa.

I've also reacquainted myself with a high school friend who is writing her first novel as we speak and has leaned me towards researching and divulging into the world of Steam Punk as a possible avenue to take my artwork along.  Thanks again, Calista.  You can get to her blog by clicking here.

Till later,
Todd

So far my Day 7 isn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Things are looking up.  Drafting table set, ready, go.

Not To Happy

I'm not too happy with the new layout.  Since I'm new to this whole blogging scene I'm sure I'll find a template that I like, and one that I can actually manipulate myself with having to pay anyone to do it for me. I would like to find one that will allow me to add my own illustrations on headers and whatnot.  If anyone has any suggestions other than me learning HTML, I'd appreciate it.  But for tonight?  It's all I can handle.

Thanks friends,
Todd

November 13, Friday
I have found a blog template that just might suit me.

FaceBook Friends.

Alright, so you might be sick of me asking you to follow my blog.  It does seem a little egotistical.  But, come on.  I read you're crap.  All of it for I'm always bored.  So how about a little tit-for-tat. (I'm blushing ever so slightly).  I don't have a job right now.  I have nothing to do but bother you good people, post to my blog, and draw.  Hey for those of you who only post about their sick kids?  I'll write about my sick kids even when they're healthy and thriving.  If you want to hear about my sick twisted fantasies, I'll tell you about those as well, but, only on the phone and in a real heavy, deeply disturbing voice.  Perhaps some of you want to see me fail at this new endeavor of mine.  To those people I say "Join Now!".

The iceberg cometh...

This is the last shot at doing something that I love so mostly I just want to share it with you all.  If that sounds a little desperate, well...it's because it is.  I can grovel with the best of them.  And besides, I know where most of you live.

Day 1

I was sick for most of the weekend. That churning in my stomach was knowing that I didn't have a job to go to on Monday. So, I played with the kids hard on Saturday then again on Sunday then followed that up by absorbing myself into football until I was in some sort of pig skinned trance. I love football but I was trying not to think about the next morning. (I even watched SNF having spawned a hatred for Chris Collensworth after his abysmal performance on the Madden 10 commentary)

I woke up the next morning actually feeling better about the situation. I'm waiting on calls to be returned to people I called the moment after losing my job and I'm actually not feeling as bad as I thought I would be.

Alright, this is day one, but still there is a feeling of optimism that I haven't felt in a good long while.

I'm going to clean the house, or most of it. And, then if time allows I'm going to relax and start on a new piece.

What I want to get out of this blog is to stop all the procrastinating that I've done over the years with my art work, and most other things that I've tried to accomplish. I always think that there is a tomorrow, but perhaps, thinking back what's happened to me this past year...perhaps I'm running out of tomorrows to look upon.
