Confused Plants

Seeing a lot of plants with buds after that week of 60+ weather

November's halfway gone.

What has happened. Well, the mini-con went fine. I would have liked more people. I'm set up to go to a Con in March. MomoCon- it's at GA Tech- of all places. I think Tech has become more like the place I would have liked it to been when I went there. Geez- they even have the tech buses stop off at the midtown marta station! In my days, Tech ignored Marta. You would've gotten sticks and stones, if you had suggested that the tech buses should stop by a marta train station- ah well, things change. Anyway, I'm looking forwad to the Con. Though, I've got lots of work to do before then. All the print files and the craft stuff I need to do. Well, that just means I'll be ready for AWA next year.

Working On The Side Again

First off- it looks like the rss feed for hazy daisy jam is down. I'll get that fixed.
Second off- we decided to stop waiting and get on with things. this being one.

On October 17th, 2010 (Sunday), we’ll be holding a mini-con at Oxford Comics 2855 Piedmont RD, Atlanta Ga 30305. We’ll be holding it outside underneath the enclosed parking of Oxford Comics.

At this moment, we have the following people listed.

Meg- meghasissues

Angela and Nick Mizgala- Think Weasel

Gina Biggs – Red String

Hopefully, it'll all work out. It's been a good 10 years since I had to do something like this. It's been a long time since I've had that nervous gnawing in my stomach as opposed to gaseous grumbling that arrives from dealing with work.

this and that

Took down the Xmas tree. While the cat ignored me putting it up. She sure enjoyed me taking it down. had to rescue several garlands and geegaws from the cat. worked on the hartscomics website. I've decided i want to keep my friends stuff separate from my comic stuff. also i have all these different stories i'm doing. it'll be a whole lot easier to just give someone a card that says harts comics, instead of 3 or 4 addies. Also i found this incredible rate for dreamhost (less than $10- expired today unfortunately) so i can test them.

tripped a bit last week..

well, let's see the working straight thru two weeks at work work hit me on wednesday finally. i got DAT done for wednesday, but missed HDJ. got thursday's HDJ done and totally crashed on friday. so what needs to be done is i need a weeks worth of stand alone comic strips for HDJ if i have to work straight thru again. so that's on schedule for next sunday. This Sunday i cleaned some more and put up my xmas tree. I've got to switch website companies for HDJ before jan 15th- that's on the agenda- luckily that'll be around 50 or so strips. and we'll see how easy it'll be to migrate a wordpress site. ow i coughed and scared the cat in my lap. why do cats like traction when they move quickly. little holes in my legs. I also need to start thinking of house of other worlds. sigh- maybe i'll win the lottery or at least the runnerup prize.

updates

Okay, i posted a new page on DAT as i was working on it, i realized i was out of a lot of my basic tones. i still lay my tones by hand. however sometimes i'll print them out on adhesive film. I have a few pattern tones i created for myself. and actually i do have a couple of tone programs. it just still quicker for me to do by hand, but my "new" tablet pc is much quicker than the old one. i should try doing the basic dot ones and see how it works. HDJ keeps chugging along. I can feel the momentum behind me. i"ve gotten used to getting up at 4 am. I really am a morning person- i get my best work done in the first four hours. before getting up at 6, i'd be just getting into the steam of it and have to quit to get ready for work. Well, let me go finish up the character page for HDJ - that still needs to be done before i can start advertising it.

Hazy Daisy Jam

Okay, a bit more fine tuning and hazy daisy jam will be finally up and running. You can check it out there. I've placed it on comicssherpa too. It's a bit moe mainstream then most of my other stuff and it's a strip too. so I'll see how it does there. Switching DAT to wordpress will probably get pushed back to next year but the comic will be updating again starting december 2009. The House of Other Worlds will start up again jan 2010. We're working on more print files. So it's all looking good. And my apt is starting to look inhabitable again. I work on the art, then i work on the apt,- the apt feels more friendlier so i feel like working on the art again. the cat is happy, i'm happy. work sux but we're building a wall so we can block it out. not easy. but it's going again. once i get the momentum going, everything will be fine- the problem is the getting the momentum going.
