My Chemical Romance singer "attacked" by comic book legend.

While I don't think celebrity can save comics, I do applaud Gerard Way of MCR for writing a comic book. Perhaps more people have been exposed to our little medium due to his efforts with the Umbrella Academy.

With that in mind, this is a funny story: My Chemical Romance star attacked by comic book mentor.

It appears as though Way may have been inspired by one of his fave comic mentors to the point that it could be plagiarism. Whatev. it happens everyday. Methinks this could be a publicity grab.

in other news, I've been superbly busy the past few weeks. I think I'll survive. more soon...

another new comic

So, yeah, I've been bad and haven't posted anything this past week. Been pretty beeswax. Also, I could be just dismayed from the use of the word va-jay-jay emboldened on the cover of this months Cosmopolitan. Wow. Just, wow.

Anyway, yeah, check out transmission-x.com for a new story arc for Kissing Chaos:Til I Die. This one features Eric and Jersey. Should be fun. I've been dosing on Jean Luc Godard lately, so who knows how that will affect my comic book output.

In other news, been working on music, and still messing around with animation. Results may vary, and may be posted here if there is enough of an outcry.

Glad the writer's strike is over, and will gladly welcome back new shows, and hopefully more LOST!!! Also, American Idol would so be on my TIVO list, if I had TIVO. I think that Josiah Leming guy should be in the top 24, but what do I know?

V-day comic!

Okay, so it's not exactly a Valentines day card type of comic, but I did write this particular scene years ago with the intent of releasing it in a valentines day themed issue of Kissing Chaos. So releasing the story online, with the climax on valentines was the next best thing.Read the comic at transmission-x.com, and click the image above to see the comic as a work in progress...

have a good one lads and lasses!

ps- I watched the movie BeoWulf as I created this comic. I expected the worst, and was pleasantly surprised. Good action, and some nicely rendered CG throughout. The hair was particularly cool. Unfortunately, while the mo-cap on the figures was fairly adequate, the faces were sluggish, and reminiscent of Shrek. Which is sad, cuz I hated Shrek's animation. If you want to see some cool action sequences, and don't mind so-so computer animation, check it out!

TV

So, I've had a love hate relationship with network TV. In recent years, love has mostly been nostalgic, and hate has bubbled to the forefront. There are shows that I really want to like, but when seen side by side with cable shows, most network TV pales in comparison.

Last I checked, I'm still part of the major demographic for most mainstream media, but something like Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles just leaves me cold. I get what they are trying to do with the show, and I can seem glimpses of awesomeness. But just how the plots, dialogue and pacing are bootleg concepts of other shows that have done the same thing, and often times better in the past, my enjoyment of the show is somewhat canned. I can stomach the hour of entertainment it provides, and I even sorta look forward to it, but if the show were to be cancelled, I know I wouldn't miss it. So yeah, I like it, but don't like-like it.

I keep thinking if I was 10 years old, T:SCC would be awesome. But I'm not 10. And I love how Summer Glau is really spreading her acting wings playing a role that's so far removed from her character in Firefly.

Another show I'm not in love with, but in the wake of this writer's strike find myself watching all the time is South Of Nowhere. I've been watching entire seasons in one day, and just started the third. Again, if I were a teenager, perhaps this show would be "real", but it's such a simplified slushy compressed version of teen life, that I'm very sure that were I in high school right now, I'd think SON was super lame. There were moments that I found interesting, or at least treading waters not often dealt with in an after school special type of show, mainly the idea of a black child being raised in a white family. During the first season they dabbled on the dude struggling with what it means to be black, and who he is.

Unfortunately by the first episode of the third season, what could've been a really interesting character to follow had deteriorated into every weak stereotype you could think of. Basically, he got his girlfriend pregnant, and died in a drive by shooting, leaving another single black teenager to give birth to another fatherless child. Way to break new ground.

Anyway, that's my rant on TV for now. Thankfully this writer's strike looks about over. Bring on more LOST!!! (plus, some of my other media projects that have been on hold will hopefully get the greenlight soon!)

new comic up

Originally published at www.mydestroyer.com. You can comment there.

For those of you who don't know, I'm currently producing new, weekly strips for my comic series KISSING CHAOS, available free to read at transmission-x.com. I upload a new strip every Thursday, and endeavor to post something of a commentary on this blog.

The art for the comic is entirely digitally created. Here is this weeks strip as a work in progress:

There's one more week left for this particular story arc. It was fun working totally in black and white, with very little rendering other than solid blacks, photos and some ink like textures. But I'm itching to do something altogether different artwise. I guess that's one of the benefits of doing a comic weekly, and online. I can experiment with art week to week, and if one week the particular experiment fails, I can bust out a new style. So look for something that looks totally different in about two weeks. Who knows what I'll end up doing...

I watch AVP:Requiem, and a documentary about youth revolutions in Azerbaijan during the creation of this comic. Good times.

UPS is not there.

Currently watching I'm Not There, while waiting for a call from UPS.

I've been waiting for a week. They made one attempt to deliver a package to me last Wednesday, but I was in the shower. I spent the next day chilling at home waiting for the second delivery attempt, which was fruitless. I made some calls last friday, and was assured that my shipment was on route for delivery, so again, I waited. A sinking suspicion that this was a lost cause was creeping over me.

Monday, more calls to UPS were met with apologies, and more false promises that a request for the shipment to be resent or something or other.

Tuesday (yesterday), nothing. I was told to call first thing Wednesday morning to get things straightened out for my shipment to be delivered today. A call was made as soon as the UPS offices opened, at which point I got more apologies, and was told I would be contacted once they figure out where my shipment is. Where?!

If I was just awaiting some kind of eBay purchase, or an order from Amazon, I'd be like, whatever. It will come when it comes. Or if it was the Xbox replacement cord that is on it's why, I could care less. But I'm currently waiting for contracts for some important freelance work that has been on hold for a few months. I kinda need these documents last month, let alone last week when they were sent to me.

Note to self. Fuck UPS.

I'm sorry you're not a winner.

So, this local highschool student, 3 credits away from graduating ,was expelled because he wrote a story about a female student brutally killing one of her teachers. He wrote the fictional account for his CREATIVE WRITING CLASS. Um, I'm no law expert, but I'm fairly sure this violates the guy's charter rights of freedom of speech. And besides, if we are to view this story as a cry for help, or a red flag that this guy is a bit of a nutter, shouldn't he be kept in school to undergo counseling or something, rather than kicking him out to do nothing all day?

In other news, I got an email from this pub I frequent. They emailed to inform me that I had won an evening of VIP treatment for a group of my friends. We would get a private room and free appetizers. At first I thought, wow, I never win anything! Then my mind began contemplating which of my friends I would invite out for such an event. Immediately I began gloating to my buddies who had laughed at me the pub when I dropped my business card off in the fishbowl in the hopes of winning a free entree or something. Well, it seems my other friend who also dropped off a business card had also "won" this evening of fun at the pub.

Now we're thinking they just tell everyone that they've won. Why not? The "free apps" amount to a couple of nacho platters, and all evening the party will be buying drinks, so really, the house wins! Not only do they make mad money of drinks, the pub always looks crowded with all the parties.

Anyway, I highly doubt I'll claim my "prize". Though the fish and chips was tight!

On the kissing chaos/art side of things, I've got to apologize for the tardiness of my "free art giveaway drawings". I definitely got more requests for sketches than I had anticipated, and it's been rough juggling work and the free drawings. The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight, and everything should get mailed off this week. I'll let all of y'all know when the art is in the mail!

Over the weekend I did some hanging out at a skate park, and checked out a good ol' punk rawk show. It was good fun. I felt like a kid again. I'm sure I was the "old guy" in the pit, but whatever. Twas awesome.
