I really like how the butterfly macro images turned out, but I kind of wish I could get even closer somehow.

I’ll have to get another lens and a macro lens adapter, or whatever it’s called.

I really like this lomo thing.

Some new photos are up on the flickr site.

I will be submitting some stuff to National Geographic - hopefully it will get selected!

so I am totally linking up my photograph junk on flickr in the sidebar.

hooray flickr!

It’s a been a while since I’ve used this.

Originally this was meant to be, first, a blog to replace the LJ, and then as a placeholder for comic book work I was slowly chiselling away at.

Now this is just the front for the not quite eponymous PUMP forums.

For a while I figured this place would just sit and fester, maybe die off, but that really isn’t wholly a reflection of what has been going on lately - I haven’t quite given up on writing comics, etc. Things I’ve tried to collaborate with other people on just haven’t gone very well - at least in so far as getting the other person in the collab to pony up their page. I suppose I should just do everything myself, but I really just don’t have the kind of time to do that anymore.

I think I know a little more how Andy feels working on Griggs when he can - the major hurdle being that he has a real 9-5/365 job like the rest of us slobs; and when it comes to brass tacks, he gets work done - but when you’ve worked a really long 10-12 hour day you don’t really have the energy to devote to drawing or scripting, or what have you, and frankly that is a drag because you have something that you really want to tell people storywise, and the crushing relaity is that until you’re independently wealthy or able to make a living off what you dream about, there really isn’t a whole lot you can do to get around the necessity of that 9-5er.

I guess I will simply post up bits and such from the script and maybe some dabbling of character designs if I get the chance, but for now I’m focusing on only one story and just trying to write the hell out of it when I get the chance.

I’ll probably keep scripting the Worst Comic Book Ever if only because I still chuckle at it when I read the horrible script I wrote so long ago, and I may just submit it to some horrible little publisher for kicks because I like the idea that someone somewhere is so depraved as to think it’s a good idea to publish it. For now, though, I’ll just stick to this industrial revolution/nouveau-scientific comic book story thing I have been musing for a long time. I had a longish script for it, but then deleted it all after re-reading it. It was horrible and the writing was hackneyed.

Maybe if I think it’s good enough, I’ll post up some snippets here and there.

Still getting spam-bots flooding the site.

I need to figure out a way to permablock  bots selectively without blocking people.  the built-in spam filter works well, but only keeps spam from being posted.  I still have to manually mark it all as spam and go from there.

So it’s coming soon.

Please ready yourselves for quite possibly the worst thing you have ever read in the world of comics.  I promise you it will totally be horrible.

I am curious if anyone knows if there is a wordpress mod that will filter things based on IP.  I was digging through and honestly all I want is for wordpress to check where a message is from and if I list an IP that is known for shooting spam (ie - 82.146.98.106) then I get to nuke all incoming messages from that IP.

So the site hasn’t been up for that long at all, and I am already getting SPAM.

I wish Wordpress had an IP blocking filter native to the blog-ware that I could flip on and start using immedaitely.

Hopefully that is what the “mark as spam” option is doing.

So I can’t seem to find a place where it will display the author for each of the posts.

Puke.
