I'm alive, I swear!

A recent bout with collecting the Transformers Combiner Wars figures (along with the comparable Power of the Primes figures) has left me with a staggering sense of optimism, hope, and happiness.  It's a strange thing to be so eager ( Read more... )

One of the dangers of writing a thinly-veiled Transformers ripoff is that I really want to see these characters as toys!  I'm building up to the big reveal of a combiner and holy crap is going to be cool.  Plus, I feel like I've done some interesting things with the team that the kids at Hasbro and IDW haven't even touched ( Read more... )

I've seriously run out of steam for today.  Not in a bad way; I just worked hard all week and I've got very little brain left.  It's honestly not a bad feeling (although I wish what I had written was more substantial).  Sometimes, especially artistically, the best success I can get is that I created bad stuff.  Bad work can be made good.  Nothing ( Read more... )

Lots to say and not a lot of time.

Hang in there!

I want to see some crossovers.  A Thanksgiving or two ago, I caught on cable one of the WWE's crossovers with Scooby-Doo and it was far more fun than it had any right to be.  Marvel and DC have crossovers every so often (I think at least once a decade, if not more frequently) and with Marvel and Star Wars both owned by The Mouse, let's be honest, ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what to call it.  Workout ADD?  A bad case of the borings?  I dunno.  A bunch of people praised the results of my hardwork at the convention last weekend, and yet I still feel compelled to re-evaluate what I'm doing.  Undoubtedly the seriously jacked-up shoulder is part of it (turns out what I feared was a rotator cuff tear is actually ( Read more... )
