radioTAK I'm closing radiotak - I've really lost interest in trying to maintain it all and in my current condition it's just another stress I don't need. I think a fresh start in the new year might be the way to go, but I need to concentrate on one thing at a time. I gotta say a couple of apologies to everyone: Firstly - I keep voluntering for stuff and then not delivering... I don't mean to, I start with the best of intentions, but my shit just gets fucked up - but that's not YOUR problem, you were relying on me and I've not come through. Your life would have been easier if I'd just done nothing at all! And the same with my own works that people have supported me on - I really appreciated the support, but I haven't delivered on it. Secondly, I've said some stupid things to a number of people I actually like. I think the word's going around that I'm a bit of a fuckhead. That's probably a fair call. I haven't been myself lately. But once again - no excuse. I know a few words ain't gonna fix it - I got to do some soul searching, someone said a while ago I need to decide WHAT I want to before I can do it well - and hopefully make it up to you somehow. Anyway on a brighter note I hope you all have great Christmases and New years and that sort of stuff. Current mood: ...to facebook - but prolly still easier to blig here for now... come join us! ..who me? Well between normal work, pimping up my car, and a bit of paid commission work*, I haven't really had time to stick my head into the usual hangouts. But also - I really wanted a bit of a break from the comics thing - as I mentioned before - so I finally just did it. It's great - I don't feel stressed anymore about the whole comic scene - I'm sure it's getting on fine without me! Anyway not promising anything but should have some new stuff to show you all soon. Reworked my website for a start. Holidays yay - I'm in Brisbane from October 10th - 17th. Would love to catch up for a beer or chat with any of my QLD based comic pals while I'm there - let me know if you're keen! *oh yeah the commission stuff... not 100% sure on sharing what I've been doing there... buts lets just say my long held idea that anything nekkid is the only way to make money on the internet - is proven! *EDIT* Blah blah blah emo emo emo! In short I had a run of depression (that's the official diagnosis!) - I'm coping now - it's all good! Thanks to all for your support and Liz especially for suggesting I see someone - admittedly I only went to the GP (at least now have a referral for more help if needed) - but that was a great help on it's own. Current mood: Meh. heh couldn't help myself....
Listen to our Podcast here where we discuss the pros and cons of Cons, bad press, the upcoming 24 hour Challenge 'Comikaze' and Mark's guide to dating... (oh that bit probably got edited out!) ...it had to happen sooner or later, but I have somehow managed to screw up our latest anthology 'Monkey Bars' by leaving out the last page of Jessica McLeod's comic. #@%&! Xuan Xuan did this to me once and I was pissed - so I imagine I'm getting a lot of angry names coming my way right now. Deservedly so. Now I got to find a why to fix it - recalling all the comics just ain't an option - I'm open to suggestions. In the meantime I'll do what I can to promote the (complete) webcomic version - which you can find here Sorry Jess! Current mood: ...if you don't drive it like one?!!! In what I like to refer to as 'research' for my Driver based comic titles - we took our impressive lineup of performance imports to the AHG driving centre for a day of race driving. Instructed by targa professionals, we got to push our cars to the limit in courses set up to test driver skill vs car handling. All I can say is - life feels very slow in comparison now!! Pics and video ( Here ) and you can check out our 'highlights video' (as shot by my 10 year old on the phone!) here: Current mood: Need to fill some extra pages for the upcoming 'Crouching Hamster, Hidden Squirrel' print comic - so if you're up for rodents with attitude would love to see your version. Gotta have it ready by the end of next week. If you haven't read the Kung Fur series you can pick up the story here: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/tonia/ha Ok so to prove I haven't just been playing World of Warcraft... Went to Evanescence concert last night - I was a bit hesitant but was bloody good. Shehad supported which was pretty awesome. The lighting was amazing - well impressed. A while ago got myself a flash little Japanese sports car (a '98 Series 5 Honda Prelude)... getting a step closer a life-long desire to be one those guys you see with stickers all up thier doors and fart-mufflers... yep i'm one of those :P So yeah the search is on to make it all 'tuner' style - hey it's one of those things you gotta do once in your life. If i had real money I'd go out and buy an old Plymouth Barracuda and do that up - but no bank would finance me for that! (I couldn't by my S15 for that very reason - bastards!) Anyway it's actually a pretty sensible car that looks pretty sweet but wont get me into too much trouble. Pics behind the cut below. And then there's the infamous Karaoke... I've decided that a: No I don't look great as a blonde, and b: For the good of all mankind, I must never be allowed near a microphone again... ( Pictures ) On the comics front Badlands Taxi 1 layouts and roughs are finished, and is being pencilled now. Matt will hopefully be taking care of the inking for us, and fixing up my dodgy pencils! Preview soon. The merger with Local Act has been a big weight off my shoulders, and we got 3 comics coming out in March. Exciting times ahead there. |
