Hi guys, just a quick little journal to clear up a little misconception I've seen floating around dA today. deviantART's staff has a 3 day weekend starting today in observance of Independence Day. The CEA has also had one of its staffers on vacation for the past week. Understandably there's been some delay in deviation reports being handled because of this. There isn't any "slacking off", just some delay due to a well deserved break. We'll be back up and running on our normal hours on Monday.

Alrighty, happy early 4th of July! And I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Be deviant. Be good!

I don't know why I fuss that I'm 28 years old today and that much closer to being the big 3-0. I'm still carded when I buy rated-R DVDs if someone isn't with me, for Pete's sake. Thank you sooo much to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday. You guys are sweet. $chix0r totally spoiled me with three awesome dA goodies.



I'm super busy with post work for the horror anthology Torn is working on. The mini comics are horrifically fantastic. I can't wait for this book to be completely put together. It's goin to be awesome. The pace Project Volunteer is moving at is amazing. We're 55 pages into the script and the story just hasn't slowed down at all. It's a great ride so far. As soon as the horror book is done and off to the printer I'll be starting prelim work on my first 100 page book. =jaster0001 wrote this one as well. I love the characters and adore the story. I'm sooooo excited to start working on it. And we're hopin to have some good news about Stranger Danger to throw your way soon!

I don't want to write up a long bit about how TV seems less entertaining now... but I miss Billy Mays.

Alllllrighty, I have to get back to work! You guys have a lovely Wednesday!

I was wrong in my last journal. I'm apparently very capable of being MUCH GIDDIER.

Alright. So there's a couple of ya who will undoubtedly roll your eyes at me and cast blank stares in my general direction. But I need a moment to completely geek out.

LOOK AT THIS!!! It's so freakin beautiful! I really, really cannot wait for this movie. I've tried so hard not to be excited about it and to go into it like I do every other comic/cartoon related movie... expecting absolutely nothing. I just can't fight it anymore.


And might I just add that if there was ANY doubt that James Newton Howard could pull off Avatar's rich soundtrack it should be completely extinguished after listening to that incredible score in the teaser. That's Mr. Howard's music there. If the rest of the film's score is anything like this fans surely can't be disappointed. That man is absolutely brilliant.

Ahhh. I feel better. That was a geekery moment that HAD to be had.

How are you muffins doin today?

UPDATE: The project is officially closed to volunteers! This is amazing. We have enough deviants involved for a 135 page graphic novel. Thank you so, so, so much for your support!

While I've got your attention please have a look over our Emoticon Legend Refresh. The new and revamped emotes look fantastic. "" cracks me up.

You muffins have a lovely weekend! And an early happy father's day to you deviant daddies out there! </update>

The response to Project Volunteer has been incredible. Torn has such high hops for this and it's turning out to be everything we wanted for it so far. Pages 11-20 are being written as we speak. And pages 1-15 are in the process of being drawn. In fact, we have our first concept art already done and up as a deviation. ~Atuki has such a fun animated style. It's awesome to have her on board. I can't wait to draw her take of these characters.



We're coming closer and closer to the point when we'll need to stop asking for volunteers. All we need now is just one more artist to do the penciling and inking for 5 pages and three more writers to script 5 pages apiece. If you're interested please stop by Jeff's journal and let him know!

Thank you so much for your support, guys. Seriously, you're awesome.
