Jessica is going to Gordo, Al for a week to print like a madwoman, and she’s taking the train down there leaving early tommorow morning out of Greenville, SC, so we are heading down for a day of fun today. It’s funny all the cities we’ve been too all across this country and there is a whole lot in South Carolina that we have never explored. It’s always exciting to go on these little one day road trips. You get just enough of a taste of a place to lean one way or the other on your like or dislike, but you don’t usually exhaust your exploratory appetite for the city on such a short stint. It may look like all strips malls, downtowns, and sidewalks to some of you, but each city to me, has it’s own unique life, it’s own vibe. And for me, collecting that feeling, and enjoying it for the few hours your there is the only way to live.

Photo History #7 Jeanne Soriano

This is my friend Jeanne Soriano and her Lil Zombie Creature. I’ve only known Jeanne for less than a year, but she’s been a good friend during this time, and a huge supporter of all things Lucky Creature. And shes a terrific cook as well which always scores points with my belly.

Jenny the Sailor Thief

Jenny the Sailor Thief, the nicest thief I know, now up on etsy. I wanted to do her after seeing someone in a blue and white shirt. After I painted her I bumped into three other people wearing this same design. Who had a sale? She’s available at my ETSY SHOP

Peas page 156, 3 years!
Today’s Peas marks 3 years of weekly Peas online. Some weeks have been stronger than others, while some weeks were a nonsensical mess, but 3 years is still a long time to do something on a consistent basis, so I’m proud of that small fact. And I encourage everyone to try to do something weekly. It’s helped me so much in my creative life, to the point where I now try to accomplish something ‘creative’ everyday no matter how busy I get with the job, life, etc. It’s to the point where if I’m not writing, painting creatures, or working on something for one of my various projects, even if for only ten minutes during the day, then I’m actually grumpy about not doing it.
Todays Peas mixes a little Star Wars, with a little Brazil, and fanciful thoughts of flight, which seem to be a recurring theme these last couple months. Anyway, enjoy and hopefully I’ll get to write another one of these posts in 3 more years. Peas Page 156
Comic Work.
Part of the reason I cancelled Lucky Creature Attacks this year was I wanted to start putting that energy into my own work, some of which is my desire to write comics. 6 months later, here’s where the various comic projects stand.
Project A: Summer Nights. I wrote this series before this year and Jessica has been working on it as time allows. The first issue is nearing completion and we hope to have it out this fall at the latest.
Project B: The first issue of this is with the artist, and is moving along nicely. I’m already writing part 2. I think this has real potential and can’t wait to share some of it with you.
Project C: Has an artist attached but theres not much movement on it currently. Hoping to see some soon.
Project D: Is out for script review from an tremendous artist, who I hope will work with me. If this one happens it could see the light of day before any of the other projects.
As always, I’m willing to work with all artists, in all styles so shoot me an email if you feel the need to tell stories sequentially.
