double penetration
i realized i haven't updated for 10 or 11 days, which is kind of irregular of me (i think?)
and i don't even have many photos
i've been busy pulling out all the last minute stops to finish me and nick aoki's comic DOUBLE PENETRATION (also with a comic from edgar - a star wars *starring daft punk* version of the ARISTOCRATS... haha)
i think it ended up being 40 or so pages... so many problems... oh... so... many problems
nick's stuff looks really nice, my stuff looks totally shitty, and after we made it i wanted to rip it to shreds, but that's ok. i actually ended up barfing the night before i was so anxious. one day i'll look back on it, with a ... grimace. i keep going back and forth on the "oh god people are going to think i'm the hugest loser, i can't believe i wrote that" vs "i don't care what anyone thinks, i'll write and draw what i want, how i want, i rule, and they can all suckit" front.
TCAF: we sold out today, so we had to print more tonight (but instead of using the nice glossy paper nicks dad gave him we had to use regular printer paper... bleh), which kaboshed my plans of all-night party celebrations.
i saw some awesome comics today, but am waiting til tomorrow to buy anything. i like chris kuzma's work a lot, so i'll buy his, not sure who elses. money and me aren't so friendly with each other these days.
i'll upload some (good quality!!!!) scans of the comic this week
i'm really excited to do our next issue (triple penetration?), i want to start working out some things tomorrow, and draw some ones i had wanted finished for this issue. i don't know how many people will end up reading it, but i'm kind of more doing it for myself anyway.
i also embarassed myself really badly in front of chester brown, which was kind of a bummer. he was standing at our table and i yelled at him that i loved him, and he just kind of stared at me with disinterested fright (and possibly recoiled when i touched his hand to shake it). i was going to go get my copy of the little man signed (which also has "the little man" comic in it, which is the fucking funniest thing ever) and my friend joe's ed the happy clown which i never gave back to him from like 2 and a half years ago (and i thought it would be cool to get it signed to him and then give it back) but now i'm too embarassed. i might go get one signed by joe matt though. me and laura talked about getting stuff signed together, but we're both worried they'll be all "oh, well THAT's in good condition... NEWBIE" or "jesus christ, they obviously don't respect my work, check out the shit they put this book through"... even though we both know that's fucking ridiculous and they don't give a shit.
that whole scene makes me really uncomfortable. i think because half of the comics i like to read are autobiographical, or thinly veiled autobiographical, you feel as though you KNOW the artist/author... i don't know... and so many of the people are awkward, and even having people look at this stuff you put all this energy into and either just put it down or pay you for it... it's werid... this is really just late-night rambling.
photos.
work in progress... nick has better photos on his phone, but can't figure out how to upload them
laura's bday at unit
TCAF
(only one of those things are mine - the rest are from steven and jacob and nick, it was really nice of them to let me sit at their table)
i'm going to take photos tomorrow
i think the FULL THROTTLE effect has finally worn off and i can now pass out
and i don't even have many photos
