Egypt

I tried reading up on it last night to see what all the craziness is really coming from to try and get a nice fat worldly opinion of the junk that's going on over there and I fell asleep. I'm now afraid I'll fall asleep if I try looking it up again at all, so I'm just steering clear of the whole affair. Good luck good guys whichever ones you are.

Feeling Good

I don't know what it is, but I just feel this need to create lately. I don't want to create crap, but at the same time I know I'm no where near the level of drawing or writing that I need to be in order to pull that off. But all the same, I do understand I can't get to the good stuff, till I get through the bad stuff. So no more being a wuss about it. I just need to do it, and eventually the shit will start turning to gold. I obviously have been given a talent, and I think to ignore it for the simple fact that its not aesthetically pleasing to my own eyes would be to deny my creator the gift he's given me.

Basically since I've had a kid a lot of stuff on how I look at myself has changed.

Will I ever "make it" as a writer or visual artist? I don't know, but you know what, I'm going to be doing both for the rest of my life anyway, so don't worry about it being good, just make sure it comes into existence in the first place. There's plenty of works by people who have "made it" and I don't particularly like them, but lots of other people do. Do the work for the enjoyment of holding a completed thing in your hands. Enjoy life, and what you do within the confines OF that life. You only have so much time to do anything. And at the end of it you're really only judged on how well you treated those around you, so why rush anything. Don't make the fast food equivalent of something pretty to stare at or read. Make something substantial that leaves viewers or readers changed after.

Damn, do I love me some new fonts

Couple days late in writing this, but I'm just now finally recovering. On January first of every year for awhile now Comicraft over at www.comicbookfonts.com has had a crazy sale. This year every font family in their catalog was $20.11 each. Last year (1/1/2010) their sale was $20.10 and next year if they hold the sale I'm sure the amount will be $20.12each.

I have only owned one style from them before and paid about $59 for it, so I was all over this thing. Below is a list of what I've aquired:

I got all International version if available due to my foolish dream of one day being fluent in French and should the need arise for me to lend my graphic skills in that language I won't be without the ability.

New year is off to a great start. Everyone's healthy and I have lots of work at NTE to keep me busy. Fun stuff all around.
