I've heard heroes have good dental

I feel like I have neglected my blog a bit. I mean SURE, its never really going to be that interesting, but I guess for some people, maybe someone who is a bit slow-witted (the larger portion of the internet, in other words) or maybe if people are bored, or want to get to know people a little better, or maybe just people who want to feel better about their own problems by listening to other peoples. Like a soap opera but good.

Anyway, the point is, I love to blog, and I love to read other peoples blogs. Its something to get away to, to look forward to, a release from aloneness and from the people who you might not want to open up to. Your own little post-it note on the billboard of the world.

Good, so with that over, I will begin to ramble on about shit that makes no sense or is pointless for a length of time which is slightly longer than everyone elses, just because I'm a competitive little bitch like that.

I guess something which is new is a strong urge to know about everything nerdy. Before, I will be honest, I enjoyed the idea of superhero films, but I never really watched them much, or took any kind of active interest in the genre. But these days thats changed quite a lot. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it was something to do with last years incredible superhero-summer, where they released some great superhero flicks, maybe even the most in one summer EVER?

Whatever, I enjoyed it, and then WATCHMEN comes out, and I think 'okay this is probably something I'd be interested in', so I research it, and I was right. I had heard of Watchmen before now, in fact I almost bought it way back when, then again when the re-print it came into stores whenever that was, maybe '08? And on Film4 they seem to have some kind of nerdfest going on, which I have been tuning into quite a bit.

Well then I got thinking, what is the fascination with heroes? I mean, thinking about it, its escapism isn't it, but I mean, why the balls do I enjoy watching the same generic hero film structure over and over? Ordinary guy, maybe he gets bullied at school, something happens with radiation, he gets superpowers, he beats the crap outta a bunch of people and gets the girl of his dreams.

I don't actually know, so don't expect a solution from me, but if YOU know, then please, feel free.

I also got thinking about why it hasn't happened yet. Like, why haven't people taken shit into their own hands if they like the idea of it so much. Although thinking a little further, the people who enjoy superhero flicks are pasty nerds who wouldn't know sunlight from a bowl of fruit.

So thats why.

In conclusion, I don't know what's wrong with the world. Nothing really. But maybe it'd be a little more awesome if there were some heroes in it, know what I'm saying?

good cop bad comic

Needs moar project

Another project arose.

Well, an existing one was given light, more like. I now have an artist to replace the previous talentless douche (me) to work on the comic project 'Happy Deathday!'. I'm pretty chuffed about that really, because it means I've releived the stress of having such a huge untouched project on my conscience, which leads to my hideous blocks of inspiration.

Cue FMP.

Anyway, the artist is not someone found through the internet (cheating perhaps?) but it is a recently discovered friend of a friend. He does amazing manga. Like, amazing.

I'll translate the script into comic language for him tonight, then I'll pack before I'm leaving on a jetplane, don't know when I'll be back again. I think its Thursday. Yeah its Thursday.

Finally (finally) got the contracts sorted, and the first few pages through for this colouring job. I'm ill, and took off key skills to do various things, such as watch Pocoyo and blow chunks.

Second Born

Sometimes I feel I have a lot to live up to, being a second born child. I'm not blaming my sibling, I'm just saying, its kind of interesting really, and it probably has a lot to do with the... interesting mental psychology I have today.

It's a lot to live up to, she's made all the right choices, threaded all the right strings into her rope, and eminates power and success. I only hope I can match that, or maybe even exceed it. Are the choices I have made thus far the right ones? Is the path I see myself headed towards more and more with each choice, a stable one?

If it is then this'll be easy, hell - destiny's setting it all up for me. If it isn't though, then it'll be hard. I'll have to start from scratch, do what I don't know, do what I don't want to know.


It's just interesting, I guess.

**EDIT** It's not that interesting, I guess. **EDIT**

Lots of people seem very happy

Its weird.

People aren't usually happy. But now most of the people I know seems to have their own personal victories and fresh starts. Which is very nice.

I would appreciate it so much if any of my readers could find me something to colour for practice =]

(Yeah I know I've talked about it about a million times and everyone knows and it was boring news to start with, but I just want to put it here as a diary kind of thing.)

Also its quite exciting to me... My first contracted art job :S not to mention the first published thing I've worked on, and the first thing thats had a huge fanbase, and not just like 2 readers hah!

I just feel like writing in really small paragraphs.

Here is a Socrates for you all because I feel nice.

Escape from Monkey Island IV

Will I ever be too old for chocolate milk?

I'm doing some awful nice things, and I'm not even trying to

I've got to say though, doing nice things has actually improved my life quite a bit! In fact, the first 2 nice things I've done gained me opportunities, and a sense ... what is this? Feeling? Hot? Cold? Sick? No...

No, I think I'm... happy!

Funny how the simple things like having a chat to or helping people you don't know can lead to things, real life things! Like Being a colourist! Or being in charge of a few hundred artists and projects!

Exclamation point!
