rejected!
I finished a festival poster using this illustration and at the very last minute the sponsors nixed the whole drawing since it looked too drug-oriented (?) or something? Anyway, I still like it. |

This is the solicitation text:
"The all-new continuing Tick series continues with a second smash issue! A new super-villainess is giving The Tick a 'run for his money' across the length and breadth of The City after stealing a super-powered 'mystery object.'
Plus, Chairface attempts to escape from the 'prison with prison' in which he has been incarcerated, due to his many previous escape attempts!"
Yeah, I'm not sure what some of that means either.
Story by me, art by Les McClaine.
Available for pre-order here among other places.
Issue one is at the printer now and should be out by the end of the month. Can't wait! Woo! |

| So I'm considering yet another writing project... |
[Nov. 4th, 2009|11:00 pm] |
...but this one will be a blog.
The idea came to me out of the blue while at work today, possibly while I was thinking of different work-outs and Pickle Press projects I need to finish or start.
It is tentatively called Planning for the End: Living Like the World Will End in 2012. I plan to journal this project on a separate blog. I will probably make reference to it here from time to time (and vice versa). Mandy suggested I make it collaborative and encourage others to follow suit.
The project is essentially this: Let's say for a moment that all these Mayan calendar theorists are right and the world will blow up or something on December 21 (or the 23rd, depending on which researcher you believe), 2012. If that were the case, how would you live the next two years and one month? What would you make sure to get done? What bridges would you rebuild? What unsaid things would you finally say? What unfulfilled dreams would you complete?
The list can, of course, be endless. I plan on making out one soon and seeing how much I can check off it in 25 months. If you'd like to try this with me, feel free to e-mail me with your stories, lists, and anything else you find interesting.
I've already assumed this has high potential to be an expensive endeavor. I'd like to visit Australia, but I don't know if that will happen due to financial constraints. I'd like to drive Route 66, but I have no idea how much such a trip would cost or how long I should take for that journey. There are a couple martial arts certifications I'd like to achieve, and those will also cost money.
So I'll have to keep working. I can't quit my job to go on some two-year dreamquest. Sure it would be an interesting experience, but probably not a completely pleasant one. Work means time constraints, so those will also factor into choosing what to do on the list.
I haven't created the new blog for this yet, but I soon will. I think it will be a fun time. Feel free to join me.

| The Unwatched DVD Project part 24 - The Stranger and the Gunfighter (1974) |
[Nov. 4th, 2009|10:24 pm] |
This is an interesting spaghetti western that was a co-production with Shaw Brothers Studios from China. The reliable Lee Van Cleef plays Dakota, a safe cracker and bandit who cracks a bank safe only to find four photos of prostitutes and a stale fortune cookie. It turns out the four women have clues to a hidden fortune tattooed on their backsides by a local Chinese merchant. After the merchant dies and Dakota is blamed for his death, he's sprung from the noose by Ho Chiang (played by famous kung fu star Lo Lieh), who has to find the fortune or his family will die. It turns out Ho's uncle was given money by a warlord to invest in America and the warlord has seen no return on his investment.
It's a fun movie that combines western and kun fu elements. Sadly, the kung fu fights are average to below average. The interactions between Van Cleef and Lieh are good, however, and it seems the two were having fun making the movie. Van Cleef gets to play a bit of a rascal and Lieh isn't just used for comic relief. In fact, Van Cleef's character is usually the butt of the jokes (even though he deals with the film's villain with brutal efficiency).
It's begging for a remake with Donnie Yen and Sam Elliott.

Lose #1 back cover homage
I always liked these CBS ads, so that's what I based the back cover for Lose on! Here's a side by side. The panel layout was actually taken directly from another CBS ad that I couldn't find a jpeg of. |

| Egomaniac: Hail Hail |
[Nov. 2nd, 2009|06:38 pm] |
I think this is the first Egomaniac I've done that I'm not in...Although I narrate it, so that counts for something!
And for the record, the only bottle is mine all the way on the left, the red one. It's body wash, in case anyone was keeping score. |

| The Fourth Horseman... |
[Oct. 30th, 2009|07:05 pm] |
And the Fourth Horseman is....
Paul Roma!
No, just kidding. Could you imagine? Fuck Paul Roma, he sucks.
(Awful drawing, I know. Awful wrestler, too, so I didn't take a lot of time on it, haha.)
No, the fourth Horseman is one Barry Windham!
No offense towards Ole or any of the others, I just felt that Barry fit the best.
And with this, I finish my October with a new art post every single weekday! Go, me! I'll probably keep drawing wrestlers, but I dunno if I'll do them every single day still. Time will tell. |

| Arn Anderson |
[Oct. 29th, 2009|08:11 pm] |
While I already drew Arn before too, you simply can not draw the best Horsemen without Arn. Out of everyone that was ever a Horseman, no one exemplified what they were better than Arn, to me. You got the feeling that no one was more interested in being a Horseman than Arn.
Last of the series tomorrow. I'll tell ya right now, it's not Ole Anderson!
