My sister moved back out after one week. I work overnight so I sleep during the after noon usually. I was alseep when it happened, but my sisters got into some kind of arguement and Elise said fk this I'm not going to take your shit and just moved back in with her "boyfriend?" I still see them everyday because GIGI, her daughter, goes to a daycare that is five minutes from here so we pick her up and then later in the evening Elise picks her up.
I am working on a project that deals with the Iraqi war. My friend Carlos came back from Iraq a couple months ago and he had a few stories. I interviewed him with a tape recorder and now I'm going to try to put it into some kind of story format with artwork. I thought about making it into a comic book styled book only with his narration instead of dialogue. Another idea is a Children's book format, where his story is printed out like a normal book with sections left black for art work that describes certain paragraphs. I don't want to dramatize his story or make it like Saving Private Ryan where its a tale based on actual events. I want his words to be the narration with my artwork simply reenforcing his words. I am goin to type out the interview soon.
I finished my work on the Indiana Jones project over at Pencil Jack
All the actual artwork is done we just need colorists and letterers to finish it up. I drew pages 3 and 8 and inked pages 1 and 3. I have offered to color a page because right now no one has offered to. I don't want the project to be scrapped just because its not colored. I suck at colors tho :/
I also joined the Iron Man vs the Zombie Jedi project. They have been having trouble getting artists to join up. They had a deadline for a page yesterday that wasn't met and today they have a deadline for 2 pages to be handed in. One artist has said he'll be able to hand in his page today, but there has been no word from the other 2 artists. Now the project is in danger of being scrapped.

My Sister is back !! WOOHOO!
My sister had moved out with her 2 daughters to live with her boyfriend's family but she's back. They are split up. My younger sis's one of my best friends and her kids are practically my own so its cool they are back home. She said she went out over the weekend with him and he was burping and farting in public. She asked him to relax or something and he was like "Look this is me". She said "Is this the kind of person I want to spend the rest of my life with?"
Its crowded here now and there is always a little kid crying or screaming. Personally I don't mind it but my mom freaks out and so do my sisters and I find the way they react more annoying than the actual kids. They start screaming "get me a bottle!, don't touch that!, there's no more pampers!" Every fucking thing they feel they have to scream louder than the kid.
I am inking my Indiana Jones page right now. Inking sucks. I don't have the patience for it. Also you have to be very careful and be able to hold your hand steady. I am very energetic when I draw and its like hitt'n the breaks when I have to ink. O well. I want to see this project completed already so I have to get it done. Hopefully by this weekend. I have to be careful because of the babies running around. I can't leave markers, pens or pencils out in the open or they'll grab 'em and write up on anything they find.
My job messed up on the payroll so I didn't get a check this week. No biggie, I'm just scrounging up change so I can eat at work. Luckily I filled up my gas tank at the end of last week. I'm surviving on Ramen noodle.
ok goin to hit the drawing table. For a great game check out http://natural-selection.org
I play that at least once a day. Very Addicting.

Jack Kirby = Wow!
My local comic shop has a 50% off back issue sale going on. I was flipping through alot of back issues, not sure what I should get, when I decided I'll check out the silver age section. Not this section has like the first issue of Avengers, Fantastic Four, Spidey etc. On the top of a stack of comics under a table there were some big oversized comics that looked kind of old. I picked them up to check them out and they were Treasury Editions of alot of comics. I thought they were going to be worth alot of money but when I asked the guy how much they were he said $2.50 with the discount. I picked up 6 of them.
1. Conan #15 art by Barry Windsor Smith, Jon Buscema, Gil Kane, Neal Adams
2. Fantastic Four #2 reprints Galactus' first appearence as well as the Silver Surfer
3. Fantastic Four #11 More reprints with Frightful Four also more amazing Kirby art.
4. Thor #3 reprints Thor versus Hercules More Kirby art. That is the main reason I picked up alot of these.
5. Avengers #7 reprints first appearence of Vision. Jon Buscema art!!
6. Batman #1 Its Batman, Robin, and Joker's first appearence reprinted, I had to get it.
I have a newfound respect for these artists. Their art looks amazing in this oversized format. I wish more of todays comics could be reprinted in a similar format. Ultimates is something I'd like to see done this way.
On a side note, I passed by the comic shop today. They had put out some more of these oversized books and I was going to buy more. I was going to pick up one that reprinted JLA stories from the silver age as well as another one that reprinted the first appearence of the first FLASH! One of my favorite characters! But there was a different guy at the register today. As soon as I put them on the counter he said "You know those are ten bucks each?" to which I said "oh yea so with the discount they're $5 right?" He said "NO. Regular price is $20" I was kind of pissed but didn't say anything. I just put them back. I'm goin to keep passing by the store tho hoping that same guy who was at the register that other time will be there.

....continued.....(Comics)
2 X-Statix #24
Wow. You have to see this issue to believe it. Mr. Sensitive vs. Iron Man. The battle begins like a normal superhero fight. Basically 2 super strong types destroying their surroundings while brawling. They are both after a piece of Doop's brain. (Long story). The piece of brain just happens to be in the possesion of "The Church of the Naked Truth", and by naked they mean NAKED. The leader will only discuss the matter if our heroes are unclothed. So now they fight but instead of trading fists they tap each other. Without his suit, a tap is like a punch to Mr. Sensitive. But he is so sensititive he can pinpoint pressure points on Tony Stark's body. This issue is like nothing I've seen before and really fun. The art is handled by Mike Allred who is a master.
3 Ultimate X-men #48
I have to start by talking about how the book feels. It feels heavier and thicker than the other comics. I think this goes for all the Ultimate books. Really slick.
This issue is what I've been waiting for. When Brian K. Vaughan jumped onboard this book I really had no idea how it was going to be. The first couple issues where kind o f just beginning this tale with nothing really big happening except for the introduction of Sinister. This issue is where the shit happens. I don't want to ruin it too much for anyone who hasn't read it. The action was great and the play between the X-men was very well done. "Apocalypse" also makes an appearence. Sinister has become a whole lot more interesting with this issue. He kind of reminds me of the Red Dragon from the Hannibal prequel. Another great "OH SHIT" cliffhanger ending from BKV.
Brando's art was perfect. Can't wait for the next issue.
I also picked up a Wizard which is just wizard ya know. It hasn't been the Magazine I really hunt down anymore. With the internet all the current events is published right away. I wish it came with some unique stuff like exclusive preview pages or sketch book sections.
okokok 'nuff typ'n
It was cooh

Second!Comics that I picked up this week.
1. Green Lantern #178 I jumped back onboard as soon as Ron Marz started writing this book again. I had a few Hal Jordan GL issues but I really got into it right around the time Hal went bonkers killing the entire corps. I welcomed Kyle Ryner and followed his adventures through many issues. When Marz left the book originally I dropped it. This storyline he has going now is leading up to the reintroduction of Hal Jordan as GL. Kyle is getting shit on in it tho. I like the way Marz is writing it (dialoge and pacing) but it really sux to have all these negative things happen to Kyle within the last couple issues.
The art great in this book. I remember when Luke Ross was just a J. Scott Campbell imitator. He has a really clean yet detailed style. When I was skimming through his first issue on GL I thought it was Jeff Johnson at first. Also in this particular issue, #178, the detail on the Naval Carrier and fighter jets is insane. Right up there with Hitch's Ultimates stuff. I think if I would have read that in the script I would have shit myself. If only the story was more positive. Hopefully Ross will be the regular artist when GL relaunches with Hal if DC goes that route.
