This one came from a question i got on Panel and Pixel from Kevin Mellon & Jason Copland. I'm thinking this is fun stuff, so I'm probably going to start making vodcasts part of the regular CH 0 feed.

Any who, starting to get going, here's some stuff from the last few nights whittling.

Well, i had wanted to be further along with the book than this by now, but a cool 7 page story came across my desk that i could not pass up - it will be in a very very big, high profile book this summer, just had to do it. But just the same, progress on Dream Life, while slowed a bit the last two weeks, has been very gratifying.

Was out for lots of walking today, brunch at a diner then off to exchange the scanner.
After that spent a few hours working on a short story gig that's popped up. It's top secret but very cool! Made a lot of progress visualizing the story and imagining the characters. Going to be a pretty one i think, like what i came up with. The hits have slowed a bit, but I'm happy to welcome a bunch of new regular readers to my new Solo project, Dream Life. about 700 of you have visited this site in the last few days, 3800 of you at flickr, and i have a lot of new friends on live journal and flickr.

Tracked it back to the guys at Drawn!, posted about the new project - thanks Johnny!
Hopefully it doesn't present any server problems, never had one before so reason to hope. But there's been 100+ of you since 7pm! :) Wow, well, hey there, hi to you all visiting from Drawn!, Have a look see around. As well as the new project, Dream Life, maybe take a peek at my most recent book, Therefore Repent! - it's just come out in the US and has been available for a while now in Canada - you can take a 60 page tour of the book here to see what that's about. And I love feed back so please do feel free to drop me a line, say hi, all that. Ok, got pages to draw and a short trip to pack for, talk soon? cheers Labels: "Dream Life", News, press posted by max at 1/24/2008 03:02:00 AM 2 comments links to this post 19-Jan-2008Dream Life on Livejournal I've had a fallow blog on Live Journal for a few years, but i never found a good use for it, other than cross posting from my home page here. That's not so great so really i just didn't use it. But as i considered how to distribute my new book online, i thought about how groups i've been admiring such as Act-i-vate and Transmission X have been doing things and hit on making use of the old LJ blog. So I've cleaned out the old crap and started posting it there. I'll continue to post work in progress for the book on flickr, and the book will have a page on Comic Space too. But LJ will be it's full time residence from now on. The XML feed is here!

So, started posting the new story over here on ComicSpace.
Also, if all went as planed, then the IDW edition of Therefore Repent! hit the stands today! Officially yesterday, but most places get new books Wednesdays. But in any case, go check it out! and if they don't have the coolest book of the new year in yet, ask them why the hell not!

Nothing against the last project at all, but it's so nice to be doing something i wrote myself right now. Primarily because of things like this: this was NOT in the script for these two pages, was just going to have a big panorama of the landscape. But the idea hit and i ran with it. No one to check with, i could strike while the irons were hot and it came out lovely, and will add a nice bit of layering to the story with this figure showing up in Charlie's dream here.

I was ranting about methodology today in between fits of working on this, kind of messy, but that's what i was talking about.
