Productive? Me?

Always.

Always busy with the clients and the whirlwind world of commissioned work. Yep. That's the stuff that I do when I do stuff. Which I'm always doing.

Also, yesterday I went to Cory's going-away-to-become-better-than-everyone-else party and wrote part of a comic script in between geeking out on comic books and being beaten by a small child in Super Mario World. I thought that was the most fun I was going to have this week, but today I shot a photocomic with Cory and some of the other 757 comic creators.

I even roped Mike into shooting some of the photos. At first, I just used him to take photos I was in, and therefor couldn't see. But he turned out to have a real creative eye for it, and made the photos super awesome. I should've assumed he'd be great, him being an artist and all, but I sometimes forget he's an artist since I so rarely see him doing art. Mostly he's just helping everyone else be awesome and lurking in the background. Lurker.

Also, Vince was there (always a fun event!) and he posed for the comic too. At first he was all shy and whatever, but as soon as I asked him to pose, he put on the most badass expressions and got into it instantly. I just hope the comic turns out as awesome as the photos.

Hypothetical fingers crossed!

It's a Small Internet After All

I was just looking over some of my photos from the Renewal show, and I remembered this close-up of Mallory Jarrell's piece:



When I first saw the piece at the show, I was like... no way. I KNOW that caterpillar. Or its identical twin:



See him in the bottom corner, with the tie? That's from my collage at the same show. Ever since I started doing collages with images from Google image searches, I've noticed other people using 'my' images. That caterpillar is like the 3rd picture you see if you Google 'caterpillar.' Which means he's probably been featured in a ton of other artworks - but maybe Renewal was the first show he was featured in two separate works at the same show.

It's a small internet.

Sekret Updaite

I got a little carried away with the funky spelling. Anyway, someone wanted an update on my sekret prejekt. Here it is.



Yeah, I'm still not very far along. I've been focusing on other things. For the last couple of weeks I've been backing up all my online files, which I've neglected to do for... six years. So that's taking awhile.

Also anytime it's sunny I run outside to take pictures. Which leaves me with more files to back up. Fun.

Oh, I mean, I love being busy. I'm doing art and stuff. Constantly. For people who commission me on my webpage: www.wix.com/crushkill/art
It's awesome.
