Hello neighbor. Its been close to 2 months since I've actually taken time to sit down and fill you guys in with whats going on with me. Well sit back, grab something to drink and lets go.
Soon I should be started back to rig work. Yes its the same kind of work I was doing in Oklahoma. I'm excited for it and excited for the pay that comes along with it. I guess when I first get back I'll be doing some training and would soon be going to a second rig after that so I'm estimating and hoping to be gone close to two months.
Unfortunately with this work, as we all know, I will be missing out on a lot of things like the premier of the new Batman movie, Prometheus, and various other movies. Also I'm gonna miss out on a lot of time back home with my friends and family. It was a hard decision to make but knowing that I will still be in Kansas helps. Unfortunately this also means that my time home will be more precious to me as it once was.
Artistically I haven't been doing too much.
I got around to using my WACOM tablet again. This is gonna play a big role in my artwork while I'm gone. The plan is to do everything on pencil and paper while I'm home and work digitally while I am on a rig. Its a good plan because it will allow me to travel a little more lightly.
Speaking of how I'm splitting up my work loads I've sorted what I want to finish before I go to the rig this first time and I really only have two projects I'm working on . One is a picture for a friend with the characters of the Devil May Cry franchise and the other is the first few pages of my own works.
I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the TMNT Michael Bay relaunch into the movies. I plan to release... kind of a fan tribute comic for that franchise that I loved as a child and still keep i my heart today. I'll admit that some of the ideas I have are radical as well but not quite like Michael Bays. I plan to begin writing it soon but you guys will not see it till I have my own website and when Michael Bays movie is released. Expect that to be Christmas 2013.
Yet another fan fiction idea was kind of dropped on me. Not sure it was intentional but I was simply tagged in a posting on facebook and told I should make it happen. When I asked "why me" I was simply told "why not me". I'm taking that on as a challenge and for anyone who knows what I'm taking about, be sure to be on the look out for this one too.
So I have another blog for those who are not in the know that really explores my nerdy side and its informational for things that I find interesting. The blog is www.nurdgasmic.blogger.com . I don't update it alot but when I do its a good look at my nerdy side and collection. If your interested and didn't know about it, check it out.
And that's pretty much it, all wrapped up in a nutshell.
I'm hoping this isn't the last blog for a while. I'll probably be more ..."bloggy" ...is that even a word? Bloggy? Well, you guys get it. I'll be more bloggy when I'm gone and away from you guys.
_Pat!
