Better

Been in this wicked art slump, lately, feeling all kinds of awful things about me being without skill and having a stupid, unmarketable style, and how I shall die a poor failure, and thus a shame to my father the engineer who is very concerned with my finances even though I otherwise wouldn't really care all that much about it, honestly, and that my stories are idiotic and probably will get everyone in the world hating me.

Anyway, I've gotten over it, and I am back to my usual and preferred state of feeling like I could play checkers against a Bengal tiger and punch out the Sun. This is because, well, heck, getting people all riled up is what I should be doing. In the right way, of course. But boy howdy, I ought'a be unconcerned with that. All I've gotta be concerned with is my relationship with Jesus Christ, dig? Everything else will just work itself out one way or another, and who cares.

On the subject of my newly scaled-back hours at the day job, in order to have more time for comics, commissions, and other art, I was thinking about signing up as a provider on Elance. Have any of you had experience with this site? Was it awesome or heinous? Did you get swell results? Is it totally legit-ass?

Anyway, here's a groovy-as-buttons collaboration I did with Juno Blair B. as a poster for Absinthe Junk's recent Chicago show.

So, uh...CafePress is selling things to benefit Unicef's relief efforts to Haiti. I submitted a design to them for the purpose, but I don't know if they're gonna use it. I'll let you know if that happens. But please think about making a purchase (all proceeds go to the cause) or making a donation directly to Unicef (which is what I did.) Even a small donation will make a big difference to all the people who were affected by this terrible event. :(

~Peace
