Day 847 of 365 Again. My name is Chris Maverick, and I am the internet. At least it feels like it. Outside of my 365 Project here where I talk about my life, I have this blog where I talk about culture and politics and news and just whatever else is on my mind. Only…

Day 749 of 365 Again. Mickey and her boyfriend were still here today, so of course I took the opportunity to shoot pics of them in the studio for the Tarot Card deck. Once we were done and they were changing so we could go out to dinner, I decided it might be cool to…

Day 731 of 365 More. I couldn’t really think of a good way to finish the second year of 365. Close that chapter of my life, so to speak. Finally I decided, why not, close the chapter. And so that’s what i did. Now to start year 3 365 days

Day 725 of 365 More. So I’ve been seriously slacking off with my workouts lately, and I’ve paid for it. When I weighed in last week I was a full ten pounds over where I was last Jammy Jam. And Jammy Jam is all about being sexy. That’s the impetus I needed to get back…

Day 723 of 365 More. This is the best time of year. It’s driving me crazy, but its great. We’re less than a week away from Jammy Jam, my annual birthday party. The comic is going great (in fact, I put a new episode up today so go check it out). On top of that,…

Day 712 of 365 More.

Today was the most modelriffic day in a long time.

First, I got mail in the middle of the day that my zivity.com set with Sarah had gone live. This is something the two of us had been waiting for for several weeks. Go us. So if you’re a zivity member, please go on over and check it out.

After work, I got to work with a new model, Virginia, for the first time. Met her at a party the other day and she was impressed with my photography and wanted to try. I’m still behind on posting photos. Haven’t started the set with Steph and Mandie from the other day, but here’s a little teaser until I get to them.

Then I got a new episode of Cosmic Hellcats posted, which is of course based on models, so head over there to read that.

Then I fell asleep on my couch til 6am. Which has nothing to do with models or photography, but I need to note it to myself because I really need to stop doing that.

Day 711 of 365 More.

All the way back on Day 32 I mentioned that a place called La Feria was one of Steph and my favorite restaurants. They make Peruvian food. The price is reasonable and its really tasty.

One of the best things about it is the appetizer. Sweet Potato Chips. Nice, fresh, home made potato chips, made out of sweet potatoes. If you’ve never had them you don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Tomorrow, Steph heads off to DC for a business trip and I won’t see her til Saturday when I meet up with her in New York for a wedding. It was definitely nice to have one last dinner together.

Bachelor days start tomorrow…maybe I’ll take a picture of me eating a TV dinner in my underwear. Won’t that be sexy?

Day 656 of 365 More.

First of all, I want to wish a very special happy birthday to one of my most favorite models in the whole wide world, Sarah. I love you, babe. Remind me to take you out for a drink when you get back from vacation. I decided to celebrate Sarah’s birthday by posting the last of her photoshoot with Starr earlier this evening, so all the rest of you can celebrate too.

Speaking of Sarah, I spent the rest of the evening getting the most recent episode of Cosmic Hellcats. Pretty happy with this one, as it is the first time all four girls have appeared in the webcomic together. I also added fan art from Stephen yesterday, and I have one to add from ☼ Helder that I’ll probably put up tomorrow, so check back often. And if you have Hellcats fan art, we’d love to post it as well, so send it to us at feedback@cosmichellcats.com.

And now about this picture. I’m still not happy with my own current drawing skills, so I’ve been brushing up on Manga techniques. My natural style was never really Manga influenced, although I am a fan. Hopefully reading a bunch of technique books will help me brush up to where I feel confident drawing an issue. We’ll see.

Only I didn’t get around to actually drawing anything tonight because I was too busy coloring and lettering the comic, editting the Sarah and Starr pics and watching the Penguins finally win a Stanley Cup game. Series is now 1-2, with the Pens having scored 3 points. 3 more straight wins with only 8 points, and I win the office pool.

Go Pens!

Day 652 of 365 More.

It’s a hockey night in Pittsburgh!

Tonight was the first day of the Stanley Cup championships. I’m not nearly as big a hocky fan as I am of football, but on a night like this, I have to support the team.

Fat lot of good it did us.

We got blown out 4-0. Luckily, its a long series, so hopefully we’ll get them next time.

Actually, I had kind of predicted the blow out. I’m in a pool at work for the cup. I predicted that the Pens would win the series in 6 games with a total score of 11 points. When Steph asked me how they were only going to have 11 points after 6 games, I told her they were going to get blown out in at least one game, and win another 1-0, so really its only about scoring 10 points in 3 games. Much more reasonable.

Also filmed the podcast today. In a total surprise, 2 min. into the show, Stephen introduced my mom. Apparently he was in the area, so they filmed the episode from her house. It was a total surprise to me, and pretty much the whole show is just about embarrassing me. Still, it was a fun time. I can’t wait to see how the final broadcast turns out.

GO PENS!

Day 636 of 365 More. One of the nice things about the 365 project when I started was that it gave me time to practice a photoshop technique here or there that I had been wanting to play with. Over time, I kind of got away from that. In fact, I don’t even remember the…

Day 626 of 365 More. Yep. Just like I thought. I really don’t know what to do with myself. I had been thinking, as much as I loved the Hellcat project it would be nice when I could get away from it. Today was my first day where I didn’t have to do Hellcats stuff…

Day 602 of 365 More. So, I had a great idea for a self-portrait today. I had everything set up in my studio to do a great shot of me having a an orgy with seven hot lesbians covered in choclate syrup. It was going to be very tasteful of course, but still undeniably erotic.…

Day 576 of 365 More. Today’s podcast was chaotic. Our original interview fell through, and since we only had Stephen’s very brief tutorial prepared, we didn’t really have much for a show. However, when we first started, we had talked about reviewing Blurb books at some point. Tapped for content, today became that point. I…
