I’ve watched almost an hour of coverage so far this time, I probably wouldn’t have seen any of it, but then I found out that BADMITTEN (Badminton) IS AN OLYMPIC SPORT!!! Also, we found out last week that we have cable and didn’t know it.

But now I think I’m done this time around. I got sucked into the badmitten and ended up watching swimming for a while and volleyball and women’s softball (which was actually kind of cool, but the commercials just kill my attention span for it).

So for the rest of these games I’m going to following what’s going on by how loudly the neighbors in the house behind our place clap and yell at the TV when someone does something good.

I’ve started making some Dark Tower related Photoshop art. Right now I’m working on a few pieces for it, and I have 25-30 more that I’d like to do. Its another one of those long term project. I gotta find models to take pics of and find some nice looking fake 6-shooters.

The Drawing of the Three: The Doors

They still need tweaking. I might have to use different doors for all of them, and the text needs to show through more, but they’re in a place now that I don’t mind showing them to other people.

More to follow.

Tony sent over a couple more polished images for the San Diego book. They are both rather sweet, one has a sort of Tarzan kind of feeling, and the other kind of reminds me of something from the Dark Tower, if Roland had been a caveman. San Diego is rapidly approaching. I’m hopefully going to make the little handout books this weekend. Woot!

Rhet is coming…

Tony sent over a few more images today!

There is still a lot of fine tuning and writing that need to be done before Comic Con. It looks like now if we do show anything to anyone at Con it will be just concept and some writing. My feeling is that we should self publish it or put it online for free.

Rhet is coming…

So my tape deck came in the mail today!!! I can finally listen to some of the tapes I’ve picked up over the last couple of years.

I haven’t owned/listened to anything on casette in a few years, but it sounds much better than I remember. The first thing I popped in was Tsuskimono’s Bat Heads Roll which I picked up around the time it was released. It has been sitting on my shelf for a while.

First off I want to say how good the sound is even when its really loud. So warm. So So So warm. I have the tape deck cranked right now as I’m listening to it and it is amazing.

Those familiar with Tsukimono might find this release a bit of a departure from some of his more mellow releases (his Fukkgod output speccifically), Bat Heads Rolls is much more noise oriented than I had expected. It still sounds like Tsukimono, but it wants to drill a hole in your brain. The sounds aren’t total chaos and their are some great beats after about 30 min. on side A. Side B is a huge synthy drone, like the sound a hive-mind would make or something.

Anyway, great job and now that I’ve got a tape deck again I can listen to it whenever I want!

I finished the script for the first Rhet sequential about a week ago. Tony just sent over the first page of pencils for me to look at.

I had a couple of minor suggestions, but overall I think they look amazing!

Those of us that have land that can grow will be the ones who survive… most of us are fucked.

The two of us are putting together a little promo book for San Diego Comic Con this year. It will contain some of Tony’s art and some of my writing about Rhet. If we have the time it will also have the first sequential Rhet story ever!!!
