I was talking to Mike Hickey yesterday at BLP, about Sketch Magazine, et al,  and there are several things coming up for sale on the Blue Line art supply store site that I thought I’d pass along! There’s an Alvin Techliner pen set I’m trying out, Strathmore 400 series 3-ply pack, etc. Check it out.

What are you doing with your life?

I know that there are soooo many things that you have to fit in that a lot of the time it all becomes just so much white noise, right? Hmmm, or is that just me?

Right now, I’m inking, being an administrator of the message board, editor of Sketch Magazine, inking some other stuff, writing when I can about my Sparta Bay projects…you know, the usual…and all the other goings on in my life are in there, too…

BUT, I really have to be mindful of not being so selfish with my time and attention. Sometimes I get a little tunnel vision and my family suffers for it. I have to be mindful of not taking them for granted…

What lessons are there for you to take a note from…?

Make your days count. I say that a lot. Make them ALL count.

Have a good one!

You can see all the entries for yourself as several of our artists on the message board took the script for the Blood and Roses online comic and did the next two pages from the point where the story left off. You can take a gander and view it as a guest ( OR you can register and get in on the fun yourself!).
