You know, when I first signed up to be a starving artist, I never really realized how much the starving part sucks.

Anyway, what with the new job and everything, I make about as much as a guy who breaks rocks with other rocks for a living. Yes, I know I'm quoting Scrubs. Fuck off. The good news is, the no-stress factor of the job leaves me with ample time to work on a few projects:

1) Deus Ex Machina - I'm currently looking for an artist around my area who can illustrate a mini-graphic novel based on my micro-series. If there's no luck on that front, I'm gonna have to look online. I'd illustrate it myself, but I don't wanna make people's heads explode with how awesome my drawing skillz are.

2) Sam's Town/ Strange Aeons/ Dog Years/ LXP ch. 2 - Four all-new short stories. Well, three short stories and one narrative poem. Actually, it's more like two short stories, one narrative (read: long) poem, and one literary equivalent of projectile vomiting. All four are done, but I'm just waiting till I get my laptop at home hooked up to the web to post them.

3) Getting Laid - Self-explanatory. Must be young, hot, able to financially support me, know how to cook a mean bolognese, love Iggy and the Stooges more than life itself, willing to call me Daddy, and have the spine to dish out as much verbal abuse as she'll be taking.

Well, I really am looking forward to the next piece, so take my threat as a compliment. But, I respect the fact that, at this given moment, you do not waste your life on a website...

Peace is just two fingers now
Peace was just a phase
When someone put it on a shirt
you knew to count the days
So take those fingers tape 'em up and shove 'em up your ass and carry on
but don't try it now cause peace is gone...

What?!? How dare you attempt to rush genius? Do you realize how many years it took Michaelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel? Do you think anybody was bugging him then? Do you? Huh? HUH?!?!?

Actually, I don't have my own computer right now. *hangs head in shame* Plus I've been real busy with work and making ends meet and other fun little stress-inducing activities. I actually haven't eaten in the past 48 hours. C'est la vie. Rest assured that once I get the Intarwebs hooked back up I'll be wasting most of my fleeting youth on this site once more.

Thank you. I toddled over to your gallery as well. You have a very raw and distinctive style, I have to say. I love abstract art.

Take care, fellow Buckeye (although I actually can't stand Ohio State).

I've only read a few of your works, but they have a haunting quality to them. I'll be keeping tabs.

Look, all writers are fucked in their own way, but that is exactly why they are brilliant.

English isn't my first language either, but you said it yourself, language is entirely beside the point of creating art.

I will continue to loyally read everything you post and to endlessly orgasm over each piece of your work. :D Ergo, expect more kind words. :P
*ConcreteSins:iconConcreteSins: Feb 26, 2008, 9:08:57 AM
Wow. That's some pretty lofty praise. :hug:

But believe me when I say that it's not skill at all. English isn't my first language, and I haven't taken an Englash class since I was in grade school. Spellcheck constantly kicks my ass, and everything I know about the rules of grammar you could fit on the back of a matchbook.

Simply put, I can't write right. =p

I'm not saying this to sound all falsely modest or anything. I'm really not. I guess I'm saying that writing is maybe 10% skill and technique and 90% desire to tell tales and pure bugfuck craziness.

Okay, throw in a god complex and a drug and alcohol habit. =)

Thanks again for the kind words.

You are very welcome. I don't comment that much, but I admire you to the sky and back, I love your work. I'm a young writer myself, even though not nearly with that much skill. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to reading more from you.

I could (and will) easily say the same thing about you.=D

Thanks for the comment. The best part about it was that it led me to your page, which, apart from making me jealous as hell, is incredibly beautiful.

Yep, and as awesome as the film was, the comic was infinitely better. It's not only my favorite graphic novel, but ranks in the top 3 of my favorite written works, period.

Thanks for the kind words and the watch, dude.

Thank you. Although, to be honest, I'd rather my stuff didn't get compared to his. =p It's kinda intimidating.
