two weeks, huh?

so much for keeping up on a weekly basis... but lucky for you, dear readers (all 3 of you) i've just been so busy working on the 'haps to post...

okay, i've also been doing other stuff, like the piece above for the heroes con program book (superman themed... and seriously, what's cooler than beppo the super-monkey?), designs for a neat little choopie sculpture, trying not to get too wrapped up in the sox this early in the season (as he says every year)...

i have managed to watch 2 dvds that've been sitting here forever .. blade 3 (not horrible...kinda dug it, actually) and fantastic four (um, well... the effects weren't ... that bad... but ... yikes.)

well, back to work.

what i'm listening to as i type this ... fast man raider man - frank black (got our tickets to see him down at the beachcomber on cape cod later this summer... wooohooo!)

at least they didn't get swept...

...great outing by schilling tonight for the sox (even with giving up three home runs)...

been working hard on the first issue of the next 'haps mini, but i've also had some time to get to other things -

- 'haps promo stuff for the summer conventions and beyond
- redesigning the 'haps site (including the guest artist pin-up gallery)
- updating my site
- doing a few canson sketches (i was planning on just bringin' 'm to charlotte, but figured why not post'm on the site in the art for sale section as well for all the folks who aren't going ... so head on over to see what's new) ... i'll be getting to do a few more of these, so if there's something you've been itching to get, drop me a line and get on the list!
- building some bookcases to use as built-ins under the eaves in the studio room...

okay, back to work...

really enjoying this season of "rescue me" on fx (always love me a good denis leary show... man, i miss "the job") and looking forward to this week's return of "deadwood" on hbo...

yikes...

that was a ROUGH ball game to watch tonight... i get the feeling it's gonna be a loooooong season with both the sox and yankees neck and neck for the next few months...

besides that, work is moving along on the first issue of the "second chances" series of the 'haps... and i'm dangerously close to finishing my new studio space so i can finally get outta the basement and see out a window (and finally using the surround sound we put in won't hurt, either)...

hope to get a few canson sketches done before the charlotte show in a few weeks (it's not too convenient to bring all that stuff with me)... as you can see above, i did get to one that's been in the queue for a while... invincible (and if ya don't read that book, do yerself a favor and pick up the first trade and see what you're missing)...

back to work.
