...That line, repeated throughout the Receiving End of Sirens first album, could almost be a slogan or something for Embrace Infection. I've been working quite hard on it lately, with seven pieces roughly done, four in progress, I just penciled a new piece today, and I've got two, maybe three more planned.
I've only shown them to a small handful of people though, so I thought I'd throw together another one of those inane images that's just a montage of small bits of each piece that's on the computer so far. So here you go:
Aw yeah! Though, my only class, the portfolio review/exhibition class, met for the first time Wednesday morning, and while a minimum of ten pieces is needed for the portfolio, we're probably only going to get roughly five pieces in the show. We're not doing solo exhibitions anymore, sadly, and trying to pick five out of these is going to be tough.
Progress goes along smoothly for the comic strips, too. The second strip, about financial aid, was just printed yesterday, the third strip will be printed next week, and from there the paper will go twice a week and you can be damn sure I'm going to have a comic in every one of them, even if it kills me. Unless it does kill me, or they fire me, in which case, um, crap.
I've posted three of the four completed strips to deviantART already. I was told they might put the strips up on the East Tennessean website, but I've not seen that happen. After a few more get printed, I'm going to set up a gallery here on the site to look at them. Like I said, four strips are done so far, one is nearly done, and I penciled a new one today, working at a decent clip.
I haven't been reading a lot of comics lately, which feels weird, but aside from next week's Casanova, there's just nothing I'm really excited about right now. The same can be said for movies and other things, too. And since I can't find anything terribly exciting, I suppose I will just keep making things which excite me and spit them out into the world in the hopes that they'll excite others too.
...Hm. I can't think of anything else to talk about. I've been wanting to write something again, but I can't remember at all what else I wanted to talk about at all. Oh well. Maybe something will come to me later, yeah?
