Day 1299 of 365 4 lyf. I’ve been doing the photography thing pretty hardcore every day since I lost my job. Shooting or editting. It hasn’t left much time for me to work on my self-portraits. Cobblers kids go without shoes. Ah well. 365 days
Day 1147 of 365 4 lyf. So I dropped my car off at the shop and then my laptop off at the other shop. Car should hopefully be fixed tomorrow. But I got the computer back today. Yay! Working laptop. Funny story. So I was at the Apple Store dropping my laptop off and I…
Day 1144 of 365 4 lyf. Nope, today still sucks. Fan in my laptop is buzzing like a lawn mower. My truck still needs breaks and 4×4 service. The Steelers are still losers. Oh well, I guess it was worth a try anyway. 365 days
Day 1090 of 365 Again. Haven’t talked about my webcomic lately. But yeah, it’s still going strong. In fact, I’m pretty happy with the current storyline. Do you like ninjas? This comic is for you. Do you like pirates? This comic is for you. Do you like shipwrecks? The comic is especially for you. Some…
Day 1003 of 365 Again. The problem with spending Saturday night getting wasted is that it means I have to work twice as hard on Sunday to get the Cosmic Hellcats done, and working so much was why I needed a break in the first place. Still, I got it done. And I’m happy with…
Day 911 of 365 Again. Today was my grandmother’s funeral. I skipped it, as I always do. I’m told the service was nice. After the funeral, the rest of the family came back to the hotel and we watched a video slideshow I put together at my mother’s request. What I didn’t know is that…
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 835 of 365 Again. Wheee! It’s lazy photo day. Exciting, isn’t it? Was too tired to do much of anything today. Didn’t even leave the house. Spent the morning working on photos from yesterdays ubermegashoot and then in the evening I switched over to working on the comic. Didn’t get around to taking a…
Day 751 of 365 Again. It’s Labor Day weekend. A time of relaxing. That’s what I tried to do today. Spent the day at home hanging out with Steph. Something we don’t get enough time to do lately. We had a little BBQ (again) and hung out outside and talked. When I wasn’t doing that,…
Day 746 of 365 Again. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a nice day-in-the-life B&W but I was so busy today that I figured bow would be a good time to throw one in. Photoshoot planned for tomorrow, as well as a new Hellcats due, and I’m still trying to catch up on…
Day 702 of 365 More.
Long day. You know, my weekends are just as busy as my weekdays.
Got satellite radio installed in the new truck. That was a priority, Sirius has spoiled me. I just can’t deal with terrestrial radio anymore.
After that I spent the whole night getting the next episode of Cosmic Hellcats up. Please check it out. I’m not as sure about this one as I have been with previous ones. I mean, I think it’s funny, but it was much more an episode about moving the story along, so I’d really like to know how it reads to everyone else. We haven’t been getting much feedback on the comic lately, which kinda sucks. I hate feeling like I’m just sending it out into the void and no one is paying attention.
Day 697 of 365 More.
Where does the time go?
Lately, I’ve been waiting later and later to start even thinking about 365. And a lot of the time I am so busy I really can’t come up with anything interesting.
Especially on days which I’m working on the comic, which is really a minimum of about four nights a week. I just end up coming home from work and drawing, writing or coloring all day. Next thing i know, it’s like a quarter to 11 and I haven’t even thought about my shot. So I take something quick and get back to work and the next thin I know its quarter after two and I haven’t posted yet.
Honestly, I’m loving it. I have wanted to do a comic since I was seven years old, and even though Hellcats isn’t as popular as I’d like it to be, its still been a blast and pretty rewarding.
I just wish other parts of my life didn’t have to suffer so much to make it happen. Seriously, if I could just sell more copies of the book or get like a few hundred daily viewers looking at the banner ads, then maybe someday I could make enough money that that could be my day job.
And I wouldn’t end up with 365 photos like this.
*sigh*
Day 653 of 365 More.
Long long long day. And yet I don’t really have an interesting story. Memorial Day means I got a much needed three day weekend. Celebrated it in the traditional American memorial day celebration technique. I slept in til almost noon. Thank God too, I needed it.
After that, I got things together to do barbecue for a bunch of friends. First BBQ of the year, and it always reminds me, "wow, I really am a great cook." Sometimes, when I don’t have time that often, what with the hustle and bustle of life, I kinda forget that.
People hung out for a while and then left so Steph and I settled in for some quality TV watching. The second game of the Stanley Cup was tonight and, well, moving on…
New podcast is up. Check it out. It’s the exciting episode of Stephen and my mother trying to embarass me by showing kid pictures of me. Luckily I was a damn cute child. Enjoy.
Day 598 of 365 More. You know, producing a comic book is more work that I ever dreamed. After spending all day yesterday on a shoot, I spent all day today coloring the artwork inside. Since I hadn’t really done anything else, I thought I’d give everyone a sneakpeak at one of the pages. Hopefully…
Day 583 of 365 More. I said my self-portraits would be suffering for the near future, and I wasn’t kidding. I spent the entire day glued to my laptop. I was up til 7am last night working on the comic, and started again as soon as I woke up. I took a couple breaks. One…
