How did I ever live without this? And why would anyone want to? Moonshine page count: 65 and an half

Moonshine Page Count: 64, working on 65

So it’s 2:00 in the morning, and I take a break from Page 63 to go check out the Engine… I love Warren Ellis. It’s not just his books–although I love PLANETARY and TRANSMETROPOLITAN and DESOLATION JONES and all kinds of projects that he does. It’s that he THINKS about making comics. He doesn’t just think about the business of comics, or the plotlines, or the characters–he thinks about MAKING comics. And he wants other [...]

A couple of good friends now have blogs up, which they actually update: Josh, Writer of Stories Queenie, Knitress of Frilly Things Moonshine Page Count: 63

The reveal towards the end of the movie is supposedly one of those “twist” endings [...]

It’s been a crazy, eventful couple of weeks since we got back from APE. Chock-full of real-life dreariness. Pleasantly, life-threatening medical issues are now behind us, as well as legal lawsuit issues. It’s nice to feel like I’ve suddenly got a normal life back again. Natalie and I enjoyed a wonderfully tasty celebratory dinner at the very recommendable Cucina Toscana. With said garbage behinf us, I’m now starting on the second half of MOONSHINE. IT’s [...]
