State of the Union

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 22, 2008, 9:41 AM
I am totally addicted to those CBR pro studio tours. Todd Nanuck's went up a while ago ([link]) and I finally took half an hour and went through it. I am pretty nerdy about that stuff. Pretty extremely nerdy.

I'm gearing up for a busy weekend, as I didn't intersperse *quite* enough homework through all the sketching I've been doing this week off. I have a problem with getting ahead of myself, where I get all anxious to see what I can draw illustration-wise with stuff I've learned at school (the first year here is visual arts literacy, no comic booky stuff) and I have to keep it at the front of my mind constantly that if I don't throw myself into the sometimes less fun school assignments I won't have as much new to apply to my personal work. It's a... delicate balance.

The good news is the life-goal of a career in some sort of illustration seems less and less absurd every day. Working at Marvel, DC and Darkhorse... well, we'll see? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sort of ridiculously ambitious about it. I'm trying to stay realistic (really) but the notion that maybe possibly somehow possibly one of those companies would want me to work with them in 3 years keeps creeping in. Which is good on some level, it's good motivation for sure, but it's pretty damned unlikely given the size of the industry and the number of people always trying to break in. Most of my friends are more "Well, I'll be very happy to one day work in comics, any comics" about it, which is probably a better way to be. But in my private moments I'm usually making shopping lists of books I'd like to work on, writers I'd love to work with, and my own stuff I'd like to see produced (and even more outrageously, find an audience).

So that is that. Radio silence for the next few weeks probably while I get school back in order. Stay classy, San Diego!

Thanks for the comment on my picture "GJ Juno"! ^.^ I'm still trying to get coloring down. I look at a lot of tutorials online and see if I can use them. Maybe you could try that if you wanted to improve your coloring. ^.^ Anyway, best of luck!
