Elebit Soup!

this is what i wanna be when i grow up!

Once upon a time, there was a very ambitious man. It was his goal to become the greatest comiker in the world. He worked hard, and eventually reached a point where...

...well, that's where I am now, yes? Not quite the best, no longer the worst.

So how have you been?

The past few months have been incredibly busy. Attended Springcon and made some awesome friends. Sold some T-Shirts and Mini-Comics. Then, my part time job scored a print of Iron Man 2. We had an incredible midnight show, with a sold out crowd, pre-show trivia, games, and entertainment, and free Iron Man comics. It was phenomenal. If any of you ever have the chance, go check out the Fargo Theatre. Built in 1926, it is one of the few remaining Art Deco theaters in the world. With a working Wurlitzer that plays before the evening shows on Friday and Saturday, the Fargo Theatre is one of the last remaining vestiges of Old Hollywood, where films were events. It is truly an experience to behold!

Anyways, between work and freelance, things have been busy. Here is a logo commission I did for an interior designer. The butterfly was an instant sell, but eventually, they subcontracted the typeface to an outsider. I enjoy how the negative space of the "o" doubles as the dot of the "i" in the middle option, however the one on the bottom is my favorite:





As the work is completed, however, I find myself lacking direction. Lately, I've been feeling fairly aimless. All of the major plans over the past few months went of with little or no problems, which is splendid, but now...there really isn't much coming up, and the adrenaline from previous events has left me with the aforementioned feeling of aimlessness.

So, as many people my age do, I've turned to video games.

It starts with Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I finally pass the Air Castle, which, admittedly, has taken far longer than I am comfortable with. Yet, beating the boss felt incredibly simple.

So, since my local Hollywood Video was going out of business, I hit up their liquidation and picked up a couple other games which I have been meaning to play.

First one I tried was No More Heroes.



It is FANTASTIC! That's all I will say.

The other game is called Elebits.

This one is amusing, though the concept is difficult to explain (as I discovered when my bro and roommate both ask at differing points what the game is about.) Admittedly, I was hoping to score Katamari Damacy instead, but since they didn't have that, I figured I would try out the game with the second craziest cover -




Regardless, it inspired me to create some fan art -


how could the comparison NOT be made?

All this time, however, I have also been creating comics. Here is the thumb stage for an upcoming page over at World of Rando -



Then a page from the con exclusive mini -



And finally, a page from a project that I started a LOOOOOONG time ago, but never finished, that I just rediscovered today. Since all the pages were scanned and labeled, I may even be able to go back and finish it -



Mk...that is enough for now. I hope you are all happy and well, and until next time -
