Dick Tracy Cartoon

Well I know people have thoughts that everything is just dandy for me. I got some messages on Facebook Last night after the announcement went public with Cries of Fowl and encouragement. But let me Tell ya there are some out there who are Bouncing with Glee I'd name names but I'm a Gentleman! Stick with this Blog we'll continue to see where I head to the Poverty line.

I have made a few Promises to People and the art will continue to Trickle. I hope to finish the Darth Vader Project and hopefully they will be understanding enough to give me some extra time to finish due the Chicken Pox delay.

The Mad Monster Party Project is DEAD, they weren't Interested and the sad thing is I would have damn thing for almost free. So I'm moving Along................maybe

I will Leave you tonight with one of My favourite Cartoons I watched in 5 minute chunks. It was Based on the Comic by Chester Gould and really if it hadn't been for 'Dick Tracy' there may never have been a Batman or Rogues Gallery because Kane ripped that off Tracy.
Anyway The Cartoon show was Okay, I think it would have been better if they had actually Had Dick Tracy in the Show doing the detecting instead of Comic Sidekicks. Maybe one Day someone will pick up on that idea eventually for the REAL cartoon. I remember looking for them in the Movie.... you remember the movie right?? Oi I still have no idea what it was about a few years Ago I picked up some cheap action toys off ebay for 99c of course with postage it balloon to $15 but hey it was Madonna and Dick.
And heres the Stylized Intro.

The Dream is Over!

Thanks for all the mail about my recent health, I've got one more week of contagiousness and Healing to go and will get to see the Doctor later this week but getting better.

Okay so as it goes, I will be Retiring from all artistry at the end of this Week. It's never got me anywhere and I'm just sick of it really I'm tired of Hanging on to stuff that never comes. I want a house, a family and a quiet way of life. I'm getting Old. Its time to admit defeat and that I just don't have what it takes, atleast to get my foot in the door of a studio. I won't get anything either if I continue heading this the way of the DoDo Bird. I'm extremely poor almost destitute all things considered.

The majority of artists are not nice people, Jealous, Spiteful, and full of ego. I can never be one of them I've had enough and do not want to be associated with this Profession any longer!
Mentally I'm exhausted, and for the last couple of years I've tried to sort it out and to some of my closest friends you know there is more to me than meets the eye! As you know I have spent alot of Time and Money following 'The Dream' I will Miss it but I need to make a clean break and the recent health issues have shown that maybe now is the chance to move on. I'll keep this blog open and perhaps keep the website up as a showcase of what I was once capable of in another life and time.

Both my Facebook and Myspace Pages will be Closing at some point in May! Sorry I can no longer pretend that all things are Roses and Green Fields!

The Dream is Over!

How Delightful a Pox, No Its Not!,

Well if you've been on my facebook or my Twitter pages recently you will know I have Adult ChickenPox which is very Painful its in early to mid 'gestation' period (I've always wanted to say that) right now where things are getting kind of messy. It's Highly Contagious and I cannot do anything or see anyone for 2 weeks. Its not like I had much of a social life to begin with but this just really sucks and I don't need this right now.

So anyway I'm gonna have to jump ship on alot of the current stuff I was working on for april, Most likely the Darth Vader Fan Piece and a couple of others besides the nausea and migraines this thing creates I've just got so many spots its really sickening to even think about them Yuck!

If you've used Twitter then you should know what this amazing 5 minute Animated Short is all about its ROTFL Funny and if I had to be negative about one thing the Hands on the characters are AWFUL!! But Check it out!

It's Not A Bird it's a Who!!

Final Countdown!!

As you know I went to supanova a couple of weeks ago in Melbourne just for the Saturday. And to be honest even though it had heaps more stuff than the Armageddon Convention last year, I was Bored!! And since when is Wrestling such a Big Sci Fi thing?? I don't want to see fake stuff to appease all the rednecks not wanting to be there except for their kids and Cosplay Girlfriends. Hayden Pantierre was the main drawcard but who wants to pay $50 for a photo and $40 per autograph. As usual the actors were being surrounded by bodygaurds as to make sure there were no 'Unauthorised' Photos taken but I did finally manage to get a couple of Hayden as I had tried previously to get one at Comic-Con last year which was nigh impossible but back then those were free. The Local Paper even had a write up as to How Rubbish the cost was but the con managers Hamfisted defended it!


Marina Baccarin was supposed to be there also at a much lower price overall and I means shes a a much more gorgeous girl than Hayden. But she pulled out because shes starring in a 'V' Remake. Apparently she will play the Diana part renamed 'Anna' which seems to fit her perfectly I would believe she eats Hamsters. But seriously a V Remake???? It looks like my childhood gets Raped again............ as long as its not Battlestar Galacticrap Reboot I will watch it!

Been Gathering information today on whats out their for employment in Snooze Town but Heres a Final List of What to Look forward too in the next couple of weeks in no particular order,

2 x Female Model Pics
1 x Homemade DvD Cover
1 x Darth Vader Fan Love

Criminal Macabre

Here's some art from a comic I used to get called Criminal Macabre from Steve Niles. I really stopped buying comics when at Seven Dollars per book I realised I was buying Land Fill of no real value (despite the art and writing) and the boxes of all those other books from years of collecting that I do have will have to head out to the garbage soon.
I have given up all hope hearing from Lionsgate on my proposal for doing the Mad Monster Party dvd cover it has nothing to do with the money (apparently the budget was Zero anyway) its just something that would have gone full circle if I had managed to get it. But its one of those things where you just think what the hell are they doing???

Working On It

I Need to Start getting in a Healthy Cashflow so I can move to the States, I would very much love to make it in 2010 but it seems more and more less likely that I will be able to do it since there is no work on the Horizon!
