I realized something last night, that is slowly seeming less real as the morning is moving on. Satan is real. I know because God loves me, and I have voices of doubt, and fear in my head (not the crazy kind ;)

I've always thought he didn't exist, but I know do believe he does. These feelings of fear, and doubt need to be pushed to the side. Sure things may go wronger then wrong, but I can only work with what is real, and what is real is that I'm heading on a date with a very cute girl today! :)

Going to have fun :)

"Just a little this time, Sweetie."
Miss Hewitt is looking for something. Something very dear, and special to her heart!
Something she will kill for.
God save the soul who stands on the path of her search.
"I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSE TO"
Colin, I good young man, who has been pulled to the cusp of insanity.
Will he cross that line?
"YOU CAN'T LET PEOPLE LIKE THIS WALK OVER YOU. THEY WON'T BE THE LAST, THEY'LL NEVER BE THE LAST. NOT UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR STAND!"
Ethan, strong, handsome, a fighter! He's been a hero for others, when they can't be for themselves.
Can he be an hero for himself?
In 'Honor THY MOTHER' ,older lady, Miss Hewlett, has become a force of pure terror, and carnage. Many have underestimated her. All are dead. With her eyes set upon Ethan, does our young hero stand a chance. Or does his life lay in the hands of Colin. The one who came before?

Now We're Cookin' with Gas

Well, you know what folks?

You try your best to fail in life, and people all around you just keep pushing you towards success ;)

I might as well face facts. I'm going to be successful at the comics game. I may or may not have the fame of Jim Lee or Frank Miller, but I will be fine.

Such is life. :)

See the thing is I had pretty much cleared off my whole plate of projects. I dropped Shootin' Stars due to a lack of interest from the creator (in his defense, I think it was a case of too many irons...)

I had put the whole DC Marvel Darkhorse thing on the side, missing Comic Con took a lot of the wind out of those sails. In short my zest for comics had faltered.

I had decided to work on my own title called Honor Thy Mother. An horror/drama about Miss Hewlett. A older woman who is hunting and terrorizing teenage boys. (I seem to suck at pitches, lol) Just poke at it and see what happened.

Then out of the blue, I'm part of OUT OF MIND studio (so Honor Thy Mother is being written, and drawn with some sort of deadline in mind), a writer I respect is asking to show my art to a studio (don't know what will happen there, I guess) I'm working on a 25 page story due out by Nov.1 (an prequel to Honor Thy Mother for Tales From The Harbor, check their website!), and a 6 page story due in the same book, being written by Kevin Sole of OOM Studio.

I hope it doesn't come off as if I bitching. I'm having the best time of my life! I'm making comics, and working with deadlines (I love deadlines) I have more on my plate then I'm really use to, and if something comes of my writer friend showing off my art, I'll be busier yet!

It wasn't comics that I was having a problem with. I just needed more. More pressure, more projects, more fun!

Thanks to all my friends! I'd be nowhere without you guys. (Enjoy the compliments now. Once I make it, who knows ;)

Writing Challenge

2006-08-03T11:10:00.000-07:00

Writing Challenge One
------------------------
Screams of a Clown

Page One

Panel one
We find ourselves in a small trailer park in North Dakota. We need to focus in on one trailer in particular. Have as much fun with the background as you want (beat up cars, bras from clotheslines, etc.), but the main trailer must be clean, and neat.

Panel Two
This is a shot from inside the trailer. There is a kitchen, and living room joined together, and a hall leading down to the bathroom, and bedroom. Again it's neat. This is the property of an ex-priest. He quit due to personal conflict, but still holds much of what he believed close to heart. He also is a sportsman (hunting not football). His interior should show this. On the kitchen table lay a can of spray paint and some boltcutters. One last note on the trailer, he lives there with his older brother Owen, so if you have a shot down the hall, make sure there's a bedroom for each. (He's not that type of priest
Sitting at the kitchen table we see Jim, the ex-priest, a lean and fit man. Looking through the closet is Sean, a short, but fat Mexican.

JIM: I know that I'm a ex-Priest, and all, and while I still believe in God, I'm far more open to other religions then before, but you know what Sean? I'm still not sure that witchcraft can really help us. I mean against the common cold...maybe. Against nuclear warfare.....uhh, no. All I want to do is have a simple protest.

Sean: Jim, my friend! We're on the same page. We're not fighting against nukes in particular, We're fighting against the insanity of the human mind! We're tapping into a positive energy that is flowing through the ground we walk upon. An energy, my friend, directly resulting from the aligning of Jupiter's moon, the sun, and this very earth!

Panel Three
Sean raises his arms into the air, and becomes very "big and over the top". A slight look of insanity gleams in his eyes.

Sean: A energy that will only flow for only one night more!

Panel Four
Points to Jim. Jim is looking as if his friend is starting to wear him out. As if he's had to deal with this sort of insanity many times beforehand.

Sean: Will YOU be responsible for the collapse of our only earth! Can you be so passive, knowing that earth could have been saved. Saved of Poverty! Greed! Anger!...

Page Two

Panel One
Jim gets up and walks to the fridge, a look of exasperation on his face. Sean is still standing by the open closet, arms in the air, and a smile across his face.

Jim: Fine! We'll include the witchcraft. But I will not eat gravel.

Panel Two
Close up on Sean. A weird smile across his face. He has grabbed a hammer out of the closet

Sean (whispering): Oh, yes you will my old friend. By the bosom on the Goddess herself, gravel shall pass your lips tonight.

Panel Three
Jim has now got a beer. Sean's head snaps back toward Jim. An innocent look on his face. A door is flying open. A big guy, simple looking, enters with a brown paper bag.

Jim (to Sean): What did you say?

Sean: I was just humming some Ricky Martin.

Jim: But you hate Ricky Marti....

(note to editor, the next word balloon from Owen, the big simple guy entering this scene, should be just overlapping Jim's word balloon. Owen is cutting Jim off.)

Owen: I did it, Brother! I found my way here. First try!

Panel Four
Jim is smiling politely at Owen, but he has that look as if he's have this conversation one too many times as well. Sean has walked over to Owen, hammer in one hand, and pats him on the back with the other. Sean is smirking. Owen is just plain proud of himself.

Jim: Good for you Owen.

Sean:Yeah, that's great. Especially seeing as you kind of live here.

Panel Five
Owen is just standing by the doorway. (door closed now) With bag in hand out in front of him, but still held close to the body. Sean has moved to the kitchen table, and has set the hammer down with the boltcutters and spray paint. Jim has moved to stand in front of Owen. His look continues to be of a man surround by idiots thinking "Why, do I put up with these guys?" (you know the look!)

Owen: We're going to start the fun now?

Jim: Yes, Owen. Although I like to think of it as a serious protest, against a slack government.

Sean: and a global cleansing of epic proportions

Jim: and a global cleansing

Panel Six
Close up on Sean's face. He is looking like a frustrated three year old.

Sean (whispers to himself): of epic proportions.

Page Three

Panel One
We see Jim and Owen facing each other. Owen holding on to the bag with both hands still, big smile on his face. Jim has his hands out to receive it.

Jim: So did you get the disguises?

Owen: Yep

Panel Two
Same as panel one

Panel Three
Almost same as panel one and two but Jim has dropped his arms and has a false smile on his face.

Jim: Hey Owen?

Owen: Yes?

Panel Three
This panel is the final panel of this set up so it is framed the same as the others (same panel shape, and camera angle), but now Jim is ripping the bag out of Owen's hands. Jim is mad, Owen's feelings are hurt.

Jim: CAN WEE SEE THEM!

Panel Four
Jim opens bag, and looks inside. Owen is smiling again.

Jim: Clowns, why would you get... clowns? Why not ski masks, or.....even ninjas would make more sense!

Owen: I like clowns.

Panel Five
Sean has walked over to Jim, and placed a hand on this shoulder. Jim looks into the bag in disbelief.

Sean: You know clowns is not a bad choice.
Sean: You see clowns can...well, clowns are...I've got nothing here, my friend.

Sean: Sorry

Panel Six
Owen is now talking to a dumbfounded Jim and Sean.

Owen: Traditionally clowns, or Jesters of yesteryears, have been symbols of humor and levity throughout society. Perhaps dressed as clowns we can tap into that spirit, and help show the world that what we really need to do is take a good hard laugh at our own expense. With laughter in our hearts, can fear, and anger really exist?

Panel Seven
Jim and Sean are frozen in their place. Dumbfounded. (as I had said before

Jim: And that's why you picked clowns?

Owen (off panel): Nope.

Owen: I just like clowns.

Panel Eight
Close up on Jim

Jim: I'm still not wearing a clown outfit!

Page Four

Panel One
Jim is hitting the ground in a clown costume. It's a tight shot but we can see part of a soldier's boot and maybe the tip of his rifle. Jim is quite sour at this point.

Jim:I'm wearing a clown outfit.... with a high-powered rifle to my head.

Sean: It could be worst.

Panel Two:
This is a wide shot at a nuclear silo area. A news crew has arrived, and there are military personal all around. Jim and Sean are flat on their stomachs with soldiers watching over. Owen is being escorted to a large truck. A news reporter is in his face.

Jim: How is that?

Sean: Well there could be...we might have...

Sean: I've got nothing.

Sean: Sorry

Panel Three
Were back to ground level with Jim and Sean. Soldier's feet are walking in the background.
Jim: I know you wanted "ritual drumming" but was Owen beating on a "NUCLEAR" missiles silo, really the smartest idea?

Sean: ......well nooo, but at least he was helping. You wouldn't even spill any of your blood.

Panel Four
We see the look of sourgrapes upon Jim's face. Sean is smiling the smile of victory.

Jim: Oh stuff it. ...I ate your stupid gravel.

Sean: Yes, yes you did. Humanity thanks you.

Panel Five
A nice over overhead shot of Sean and Jim. We can see the soldiers all around them.

Jim: Gravel wasn't part of the ceremony, was it?

Sean: No, no it wasn't.

Sean: Poker next Wednesday?

Jim: *sigh* Yeah.

This is a writing excersie that was done on MIC. A news clip was pulled off the net, and your challenge was to create a backstory for it.

Here is the news clipping I had to work from.

Clowns Attack US Nuclear Missile Silo
Krusty versus Minuteman III
By Lester Haines
Published Wednesday 28th June 2006 09:43 GMT

Three anti-nuke activists dressed as clowns broke into a Minuteman III facility close to the White Shield, North Dakota, earlier this week and set about a missile silo's cover with hammers, daubed a suitably pacifist slogan on said lid and then began to eat gravel when confronted by security operatives, Defensetech.org reports.

The trio of Nukewatch members - including a retired Catholic priest and two "veterans" - launched their assault as part of "a call for national repentance" for the 1945 nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

After making short work of the perimeter fence with bolt cutters, the three Krustys broke open the personnel entry hatch providing access to the warhead and "hammered on the silo lid that covers the 300 kiloton nuclear warhead", according to a Nukewatch statement.

The statement continues: "The activists painted 'It's a sin to build a nuclear weapon' on the face of the 110-ton hardened silo cover and the peace activists poured their blood on the missile lid." All of this was done "while wearing face paint, dunce caps, misfitting overalls, and bright yellow wigs".

The merriment soon ended, however, since guards "responded within minutes". When they arrived, the protesters "ate a lot of gravel", Defensetech notes.

There is, of course, a symbolic meaning to the clown SWAT outfits. Nukewatch explains: "We dress as clowns to show that humour and laughter are key elements in the struggle to transform the structures of destruction and death. Saint Paul said that we are 'fools for God's sake', and we say that we are 'fools for God and humanity'. Clowns as court jesters were sometimes the only ones able to survive after speaking truth to authorities in power."

Quite what Saint Paul would make of it all is anyone's guess, but the powers that be are in no doubt as to the seriousness of the matter, as AP reports: "The individuals were taken from the area and brought to the McLean County Jail. The three are being charged with criminal trespass and criminal mischief, both Class A misdemeanours, and bond was set at $500 each. The FBI is involved in the case and federal charges are pending." ®

The other day my Mom was having a pretty bad day. For those of you who don't know my Mom and Dad split up. He left her $50,000 dollars to live off for the rest of her life, and have not heard from him since.

But as I was saying, she was having a pretty bad day, and I was off to work, hating Dad a bit more then normal. I pulled up to an one way intersection, checked for traffic, but did not check the passenger window. I pulled out and their was the jogger.

I hit her.

She seems like she will be okay, I mean she got up and walked away from it, but I still fucking hit her. Had she fallen the wrong way, I might have crippled her, or killed her.

I'm such a stupid shit. I very sad stupid shit.

WHY NOT?

Here's the first sketch of the day. I asked him joking "Do you want the flash laying on the couch watching TV."

He said with a big grin "Yeah!"

I was having an off day (compared to the Pop Culture Fair) I paniced, and my game was off the rest of the day. I'll be better next time. Got a game play in mind if I panic.

This one was a bit better. I kind of like it.

Good olde Wolvie. Or maybe it's Merv. Hmmmm

Spider-man, Spider-man. Does whatever a spider can! There are a lot of webs on this costume! Yes, there is. Worth it though. :)

A sketch of a cute girl. Not liking what I did with the black though.

My fearless (and pretty cute) leader Sylvia the Great!!

Another one of the Flash not running fast. Why? Why not.

A very nice and cute girl, drawn as an elf. Your picture is a little off. If I see you in the store sometime, I'll redo it. ; )

Jay the man as Captain Marvel. Funny thing is I never heard him cry "SHAZAM!!" Me thinks it's just a costume. Will I ever know for sure?

This vision, when not moved by the spirit of Catwoman, is a very interesting lady, who is a Stone Mason. No, not the secret society of the Freemason. ; ) Hope to run into her again.

Later Folks!

Tortured Love on the Move

2006-04-23T00:07:00.000-07:00

Here's the next step on the Wolvie/Mariko pic. Her head and body don't match. Haveto see if I can fix at this junction. May not be able to.

Hey! My First Con of the Year

2006-03-13T04:57:00.000-08:00

This be my table, minus me. It was much more impressive with the artist
sitting behind it. (I was looking sharp that day!)

This young chap is Chris Peterson, out of Calgary. Check out his comic DollSteak.

This is a cool guy! His name is Rudi, and his web comic "Death World" came be found here.

Got to goto work, I'll post more later!

A Little Lost

2006-03-07T22:27:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling a little lost right at this moment. A friend of mine just pointed out some stuff on my last picture which has got me down in a big way. His suggestion is to try a simpler style. I tried it, and I'm going to contiune, but I really have no fucking idea where to start! How loose, how tight, is this my real path?

Fucked if I know!!!

Bri

Storm Finished, Not Perfect, But Finished : )

2006-03-07T11:07:00.000-08:00

Well here it is. Done.

What I like about it...

It's finished

The compostion is a little different from other things I've seen.

It 'feels' like Storm to me.

What I don't like...

The line weight is off.

The inking

The background is not as round as I'd like.

Any other thoughts?

Bri

Storm in the Making

2006-03-04T13:36:00.000-08:00

Thanks to alot of people, I'm moving forward on my pic! Thanks all! Don't be afraid to make mistakes, OR ASK FOR HELP. : ) Unless your a freakin' prodigy, you need to learn somehow.

Just a picture in the works. Joker is still on the way. ; )

I think her ass end needs to move up along the arm line a bit, I'm going to sit on in for a day to see.

Sketch from Ocean's Eleven

2006-02-12T22:45:00.000-08:00

Not a very witty title, I know.

God I need to work on hands.

New Joker Sketch

2006-02-10T15:50:00.000-08:00

After receiving some great advice I decided to try my Joker again. It's just at the sketch stage so far. I'm looking to make sure the essence of the character is better. I still think I could do more to amp this one up a bit. Maybe a wallpaper of bullet hole smiley faces?

This is the second pass at this picture. Upon some more good advice I changed Joker's face a little. My original idea was to have a split face where the one side was evil and the other was welcoming Batman to have some cake. I still like that idea so I kept it to a certain extent. However, the Joker would never really expect such a ploy to really work, so it needed to be more dishonest (like Tim Curry). I did like the idea of pulling the evil out of his face more, so I dropped both eyebrows, and to add an amount of "fakness" to the smile I squared off the bottom of it. I still have to work on the hair. It's close but not wild enough. I still also have to work on adding some more structure into his body, and the cake. That whole part is still 'drifting'.

Stay tuned : )

Well I'm back to show a HUGE mistake that I have made. I started inking before the whole picture was mapped out, and refined. Now the trouble is I'm not too sure about the sizing of his body to his head. I know better then this but being impatient, I went ahead anyway, and will either talk myself into this version, or have to redo it.

Shit!

I think I'll follow though on this picture at this point, if nothing else, to give me more practice.

Keep tuning in for further details, and art.

Bri

p.s I just looked at this again and I think the body is two dimensional compared to the cake or his face. I'll have to use some reference to find out how I might draw this with a little more roundness.

Bacon Anyone?

2006-02-08T05:59:00.000-08:00

This is a picture I did last night at work. It was a study of how I might work out a scene. The idea is that the customer returns his bacon, asking that it be crispy. The cook takes a butane torch and cooks it right on his plate, burning the plate, eggs, ect. The cook says he'll take the bacon to the guy. This panel was an study of how I'd make that work. I closed the panel around the cook to make him larger. Used a WEV, and blacked in the face. I left the body white to help make the face stand out.

Thoughts?

Here's my new logo for Glacier Studios

Okay I'm NOT doing this once a week, but are you reading this once a week?

Going to start doing this once a week

2006-01-03T05:54:00.000-08:00

This drawing I did at work on my lunch break. I like a few things about it. The line work feels nice, and...and...well that's it really. She didn't really end up looking like the picture I was using for ref, and there are problems with proportion, and things don't line up quite. Oh well. Practice! Practice!

This is the first attempt I made during first coffee

Here is just a page out of my sketchbook from Monday : )

This is a head I created for a comic.

This Booger deciding to visit as I'm trying to take pictures of my artwork.

Silly cat!

Well, tune in next week. Same Bat-time...Same Bat-Channel

Who knows? I might have something interesting to say with my little pictures ; )

A Couple More Pages

2005-12-31T17:41:00.000-08:00

Just a few teaser pages from one of the new comic I'm working on.

New Faster Style?

2005-12-31T15:32:00.000-08:00

These are a couple shots of a looser style I'm working on to help me keep up with the deadlines I'm trying to keep with the new mini comic I'm drawing "Missiles Sold Separately"

What do you think?

Great Day!

2005-11-15T19:29:00.000-08:00

Today I finished a page in one day! Well 5 hours. I worked the whole way through, keeping my head down. This is not my best piece. This is my best piece!

Elvis has left the galaxy

These are pictures of Comic Con. I've been trying to send these to friends, but there are just too many to send in a single e-mail (I even tried splitting it into three at one time).

Accepting Me

2005-08-31T02:14:00.000-07:00

I was recently reading a blog of a friend that gave me thought. It's funny how God works sometimes. I took a job out at the local mill as a means to make money. It's done far more then that. In the long run it has been much more like reliving my school experience. There is a fairly large number of people out there, and they cliche. At first I didn't fit in anywhere. It was just like being in school. I was not invited into the fold at all. I told myself for years that I didn't care, but I did. Then a funny thing started to happen over the years. I really stopped caring about fitting in anywhere. Not in the "me against the world type way". Just in the "stopped giving a shit whether people liked me or not" kind of way. See for years I thought that everyone in the world was better then me. So therefore if someone didn't like me then there must have been something wrong with me. The only thing wrong with me was that I was too concerned with what others thought of me. I'd try to act the way I thought I was suppose to, and of course I'd fuck it up. Well after awhile I really did get the hang of acting the way a certain group would want me to. It didn't take long to see that it didn't work. They were very accepting of me, but I wasn't.
The truth is that I'm the only one in the world who needs to like me. After that happened I've noticed it's been a lot easier to relax, and be myself. This has given people at the mill, and everywhere, a chance to get to know me, and like or dislike me. I don't instantly think that someone giving me a funny look, or the such, is a sign that I need to change, (but I do consider it. Everyone is up for improvement). I've found that the more I mold myself into the person I'd like to be, the easier it is to just be myself, and being yourself is the easiest way to find friends, and let others find you. We all can see people who put on fronts, and most of us don't really take to those people. Do we?

As always there is lots more to say on this topic, feel free to chime in:)

Trip to Jasper

2005-08-20T22:55:00.000-07:00

My friend Roger came to visit this weekend. About 6 years ago Roger and I took a trip to Jasper. We went up the Tram-way. It takes you up the side of a mountain. When you reach the top chateau, you have a 1-2 hour hike to reach the summit. All very cool. A tradtion is to build a rock stack.

This one isn't ours, but very cool.

This one is ours. It's meant to be a wishing well. Feel feel to toss in twenties. lol

Roger (the crazy shit that he is decided to run down the face of the mountain.

There he goes. Go hard retard!!! :)

Here's me and my big head!

All in all it was a great day!

Disbelieve and Still Achieve

2005-08-09T23:05:00.000-07:00

I've been doing some thinking lately about success. I heard many people talk about the path to success, and more often then not the idea that one must believe in one's self comes up. I've come to the conclusion that this is a load of crap. Success is taking action, and having that action work to your benefit. Believing in yourself is not necessary. I realized this the other day when I was thinking about my own state of mind. I've rarely believed in myself. I've almost always thought that I'd never be able to do anything I started. The reasons for this will have to wait for another time, but the fact is there. About nine years ago I started a job in a lumber mill. When I started I didn't know a thing about machines or wood. I didn't think I would survive, but I have. In fact I'm pretty damn good at any of the jobs I do out there. When I first started drawing comics some 15 years ago my work looked like crap. Now it is starting to show real promise. (When I find my first submission to Marvel I'll post it) Still to this day, everytime I go to draw something I have yet to tackle, I'm not sure if it'll work. So what is the magic factor that is allowing me to move ahead in my endeavors, even without an unshakable belief in myself. I think it has more to do with just walking the path. 10% of success is just showing up. 80% has to do with doing the work. 10% has to do with luck, or if your like me you believe more in God's grace, but I won't split hairs here. If your out there and don't relate to people who accredit their success to believing in themselves, know this. You don't need to have an "believe and achieve" attitude to make your dreams come true. You do need a whole lot of hard work, steady hard work, and a little help from above. If you find yourself not pursuing something you want because you don't think you can do it, ask yourself this question. Is laying on the couch and watching the latest series of "Survivor" really going to fill that little hole that's deep within you? Would your time not be better spent running after your dreams? Now don't get me wrong, if your an believer in yourself, I think it's the way to go. This is just a blog for those who maybe, like me, are still learning how to.
This is a complicated topic, for which I don't have all the answers. If you wish to add on, feel free to comment.
