Day 1042 of 365 Again. I’ve been shooting a lot on my high key backop lately, but I hadn’t gotten aound to to using that myself. Welll, I guess that’s another of these issues taken care of. 365 days
Sarah and I put together a shoot for Zivity. We’re their special Christmas feature. Go us!
The full set will be up on Zivity on Christmas day (you’ll have to join their site to see it), but there’s no way I couldn’t share at least a few teasers with my loyal flickr fans.

Day 842 of 365 Again. I’m doing better today. But still not great. It’s not often that after a 4 day vacation I can’t wait to get back to work. But sometimes you just need that daily routine to remind you that your days have purpose. Tomorrow is another day. 365 days
Day 840 of 365 Again. Black Friday! It’s funny. Black Friday isn’t nearly as scary as it used to be. Steph refused to go out shopping with me, because she believes the hype that you hear on the news. People being trampled to death or shooting each other at a toy store. But really, these…
Day 776 of 365 Again. You know, honestly I’m just kind of lazy. This would be the third time this week that I’ve done a standby "quick photo with a model you’re shooting with" picture for a 365. I mean sure it works and sure it’s a lot hotter than I’d be by myself, but…
Day 750 of 365 Again. Huh… check it out. Day 750. I really have to pay more attention to the big milestones. I didn’t even think about it until I was editing the pic. Oh well. Not much up today. Tried to catch up on a lot of photo editing. Had full intents of getting…
Still trying to catch up on photoshoots. This is from a week ago, my very first shoot with Virginia, and her first time modeling. I couldn’t be happier with what we came up with, and can’t wait to work with her again.
More to come…

Day 710 of 365 More.
I’ve been saying that I needed to work out more for weeks. But I’ve put it off. Now Jammy Jam is fast approaching and I feel like a disgusting slob. I was telling myself tonight that I had to work out but then I had a lot of comic strip stuff to do, and I’m going to have a hella busy week so I didn’t want to not do that.
But I needed to do a 365 for tonight too. So I combined. It wasn’t a big workout, maybe 10-15 min of weight lifting, but i figure it’s better than nothing.
Still, I really need to pick things up.
Day 705 of 365 More.
Usually on Wednesday nights I plug Cosmic Hellcats, because new ones come out every Monday and Thursday. But today something else important happened that made me want to talk about it and not even mention the killer new episode of Cosmic Hellcats that I just posted at midnight.
Today, after 17 long years of waiting, Zot! came out in compiled trade paperback form.
In a lot of ways Zot! is probably responsible for Cosmic Hellcats. Zot! was written by Scott McCloud who some of you might remember I met a couple years ago when I saw him speak.
Anyway, Scott wrote the well received, but relatively unknown indy comic, Zot! After Zot was cancelled, he went on to write a well known book called Understanding Comics, which is one of the most influential books in the medium (and one every artist, comic book or no, should read). He also wrote two sequels and ended up becoming something of an authority on the changing nature of the industry and an advocate of webcomics. Understanding Comics renewed my childhood desire to one day publish a comic of my own. That desire grew and eventally became Cosmic Hellcats.
At the talk I saw Scott speak at, everyone asked him tons of questions about his well known texts. But I was the crazy guy in the back who raised his hand to ask when the 4th volume of Zot! would be collected into a trade paperback volume. You see, the first three volumes had been collected soon after Zot! ceased publication, but the company who published those books went out of business before the final volume ever came out.
Scott, seemed amused and answered me something like "I swear, before I die." Well, I sincerely hope Scott isn’t planning on dying tomorrow. Because that would be a tragedy. But if he did, I will be happy to know that he did manage to keep his promise to me.
So for that, I thank you, Scott. And I thank you for writing Understanding, and Reinventing Comics and Making Comics and inspiring the seven year old boy inside of me to follow his dream.
Of course Scott doesn’t read this, but maybe one day he will. After all he did eventually get to see my initial pic about him. So, If you ever do read this Scott, thank you. Without you there would be no Cosmic Hellcats, and I wouldn’t even have something to not pimp here.
