HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey Inkbots,


I apologize for missing yesterday's update. I promise to keep with my daily blog schedule once it resumes this Sunday.


I want to take this moment and thank you all for supporting this website and making all of our dreams a success. I promise 2011 will be an even better year for us, as we will post more quality titles and deliver a few surprises along the way ;)


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

few hours late, but what the hell

Hey Inkbots,


I had a crazy Tuesday, but I'm still alive to tell about it. 


On Monday I was supposed to post an update on everything that is going on with the site, so here we go...


Zomboy will now be posted on Thursday morning. We had a few last minute issues with the coloring, so Jan is taking some time to correct them.


I really thinK you guys are going to like the third issue of Zomboy. It is extremely action pack, and of course, it reveals another piece to the puzzle ;)


So far the reception for Odessa #5 has been very positive. I had a hell of a time writing the first arc, and I can't wait for you guys to read the second (which will hopefully be up in a few months). 


If you guys haven't already checked out "K," our first online novel, I strongly suggest that you do. K is a witty steam punk narrative which features a few illustrations from Revolvers' artist Clay Graham, and, ITS TOTALLY KICK ASS!!!


Speaking of Kick Ass, I hope you guys check out some of the items in our new Inkbot store. We have something for everyone, including you....yeah you....what...you don't believe me...THEN CHECK IT OUT!!! ;)


Although Zomboy will not be posted till Thursday, American Ambition and Allen Shrugged will still be posted on time (which means that your Wednesdays will continue to be AWESOME). 


Lastly, I will post another blog later on today. I just came home really, REALLY, LATE, (which is why I'm just posting my Tuesday blog). 


;P

snow day

Hey Inkbots


If it wasn't for the debut of Odessa #5, today would have totally sucked. I spent five hours digging out my car that was buried by both mother nature AND my neighbors. I also spent a few minutes nursing my hurt knee, which was banged against the icy pavement Still, there is one other thing that made the day bearable...I WAS SNOWED IN WITH MY WIFE! Yup, although my day was filled with pain and exhaustion, it was nice to go inside and see my wife's beautiful smiling face (my fall made her laugh). 


I got a chance to see The Black Swan on Saturday and it was amazing. Natalie Portman did a hell of a job as the lead, and Aranofsky, as always, did a great job of bringing the viewer inside the life of the character. 


It's official, Manny Pac-man is going to fight Shane Mosley, and of course I couldn't care less. I mean if Shane didn't look like an old man versus Mayweather and Mora, I would be singing a different tune, but he did. 


;P 

The poison

Hey Inkbots,


I got a chance to see Joaquin Phoenix's mocumentary "I'm still here"and I have to say that I'm impressed. I believe the film touched on a lot of issues that we as a fame loving society tend to ignore, such as what happens when everything isn't enough? The film also does a good job highlighting the polarized relationship between celebrities and the media. Interestingly, I read several reviews which criticized the film, calling it tasteless and cheap. I even read an Ebert review where he goes on to call Joaquin's actions in the film selfish and delusional. Now, I'm not going to sit here and try to defend Joaquin's stance on making the film, because I honestly don't know what it is, but I do have to say that I've seen worse real documentaries, and the fact that Ebert states that he would be pissed if it were hoax should speak volumes of just how believable, and in my opinion powerful, the subject matter is.


On another note, I'm extremely excited about this week. On Monday we will debut the final issue of Odessa Arc One, and on Wednesday we will post the third issue of Zomboy. We will also post updates to all of our fabulous weeklies (Revolvers, Allen Shrugged, American Ambiton) along with my daily blog. So, see you tomorrow inkbots ;)

happy x mas!

Hey Inkbots,


I've been wrapping so many gifts in the last few hours that I almost forgot to post (the nerve of me). Still, with nothing but curses and the longing for sleep on mind, I really don't know what to write. So, in the spirit of things, I hope you guys have a hell of a holiday weekend, and I hope you guys check back on Sunday when I resume my daily blog (again, the nerve of me). ;P

a little down but still kicking

Hey Inkbots,


Last night, the wife and I found our apartment flooded with water. Only a small fraction of our electronics were damaged, but the clean up was substantial and we lost a few irreplaceable items. Still, what hurts worse than losing anything material is the loss of security that we once had. We will never really be able to sleep as peacefully as we once did knowing that we are just another pipe burst from losing everything. With that, I recognize that in the large scope things this is just another small bump in the road. So, don't expect me to be too much of a party killer in the days to come. I just wanted to get this off my chest ;)

A throw back piece

Hey Inkbots,

I'm in a wierd mood tonight, so I figured that this would be a good time to share one of my first pieces with all of you.

YOUR HELL IS MY HEAVEN

The piano plays in my head,
while blood is filling my brain,
I tip my hat off to life,
for death has taken my name,
but I can never complain,
for death has given me fame
and a frame to hang up pictures of the thoughts that remain,
but then my mother's picture fades and blows up from the grenades
that rebels threw in a daze, and I can no longer say
that I recognize this world, so go on, take me away
to where the monsters look like monsters and everything isn't grey.
