I’ve been named the next chair of the Sequential Art Department here at SCAD. Somehow I’m going to do it even though I told everyone that I never want to do, I don’t want to climb the corporate ladder, I hate paperwork, etc. So that’s happening.
The Sequential Art department was fortunate enough to have Brian Ralph come visit and do a guest lecture. It was a blast even though so many kids were at the job fair instead (hard to blame them). Brian was great with the students and I hope that we'll be seeing him again soon. Here I am introducing him as best I could - photo by Burkhalter.
We got to travel home to Alabama to see my Grandparents.
Here's one of a few pics I took on the trip home. It's some backroad close to my parents house.
I’ve decided to serialize the Moonshine Murders as a series of mini-comics.
I went to Fluke in Athens (either my 3rd or 4th time). It was a good time. Kristie came this time to hang out with her friend Amanda. It’s always cool to see people: Eleanor, Drew, Joey Weiser, Dean Trippe, Schweizer, Hunter… and of course the home team was there in full force: Isaac, Lynnette, Bullet, Greenstone, Falynn Coleman, Sorese, Jarrett, Burkhalter, Kathy, Tyler, Pranas, Mary, Jon, Brett, Josh, Matt, Julie, Sweetwater, Heck, I’m sure I’ve missed someone—the point is that there were lots of folk there. I managed to not take pictures, but there are lots of other people who have cool photo sets from Fluke that approximate what I would have come up with.
I resolve to start taking more pictures.
I had the first ‘chapter’ of the Moonshine story at Fluke. I’ll admit that the choice of the term ‘chapter’ indicated a false sense of order since I’m not really drawing the book in the order that I intend for its final form—but I’m going to put these mini-comics out in the order that I draw them. How about that, huh? Whatever. I also ran a new cover on the Rural Invasion mini. I've got a few of those two plus the Nephology book left over if anyone wants one. Moonshine-3, Rural-2, Nephology-1. plus postage.
I’ll be running the Mini-Comics class in Atlanta this summer. Kristie and I will be living large in the SCAD-ATL dorm. I should make up a poster to send down there.
I've also been putting a thesis exhibition together of the Graduating MFA students. It's going to be great show, but I'll be glad once it's up.
I suppose I should get back to all the cruddy paperwork I have to do instead of drawing or enjoying my life in any way. Ever.
