New year, new chapter for Kissing Chaos: 'Til I die.

So far, the new year is pretty much the same old, same old. I'm trying to break bad work habits, and actually follow schedules and what not. If I was ever to make a new year's resolution, that would be it. But thus far, I've burnt the midnight oil every night of the new year, and lounged around all day. I used to convince myself that I got more work done this way, but here I am, fighting deadlines. The song remains the same.

I am working on a short animation project, so that's new. Totally for personal reasons, but it's something I've always wanted to do. I can't wait to show it to y'all once it's done.

I'm still chugging away on the free art giveaway sketches. I didn't expect that many people to respond, so I'm kinda swamped.

What else. Umm, re-watching I AM LEGEND as I type this. It has it's moments. Sadly, one of the scenes perceived to be really striking, is kinda lame. SPOILER. When Sam dies, yes, it's meant to be moving, and sure, it is. However, it's totally bootleg emotion. It's like the creators needed something to move the audience, and took a look in their pantry of previously tried, tested and true filmic scenes, and tossed in this old yeller moment, rather than inventing something new. Now, I'm not saying I'm not guilty of doing the same. I have done many a time in my writing. I guess it irks me when people are getting paid mad cash to sample other people's work.

I also saw Nancy Drew last week. The most recent Emma Roberts version. Being a huge Drew fan from when I was a kid, I was pumped to see this new movie trash it's legacy. I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it wasn't great, and it felt sorta like one of those stories where you write a sentence, then pass the story on to someone else to write the next sentence, and so on and so forth. But I had some genuine laugh out loud moments, and the acting and Nancy Drew's wardrobe was great!

Enough. Back to drawing. Oh, and there's a new PROTEST THE HERO album coming out on January 29! Cop that shit!
