I AM 788,400,000 SECONDS...13,104,000 minutes...almost 10,000 days.

I turned 25 two weeks back and so I'm officially on the verge of death. With the thought of my impending demise I've been putting some extra elbow grease into my new projects. This could explain the lack of posts but I won't push it. Here is a quick update of items that I'm working on in my free time for those that are bored and tired of staring at the sun:

Welcome to Pixelton (Comic):
My new big book is getting hefty. It is clocking in at around 200 pencilled pages at the moment and I'm no where near adding in two big key scenes. It will be a fun epic adventure that is truly something never before seen. My biggest goal? Appeal to the non-comic crowd and gain rabid adoption. Still not telling you the "big secret". I'm inking a few pages a week with the average time for each running around 5 hours.

Welcome to Pixelton Documentary (Film):
So I'm making a film alongside the book. It is about creating comics, publishing, and hoping against hope that something we do will be left behind. I'll probably release the thing as a behind the scenes. Expect some bits to appear on YouTube very soon.

Everlasting Effects of a Butterscotch Smile (Comic):
Amazingly, this book is still happening. It is still a collection of short stories. It will be VERY different from Welcome to Pixelton and Nothing Left to Lose. I can't shake the feeling I overcomplicate everything...even a short story collection.

Sketchd (Start-up):
This baby has been in the works for close to a year now, so it seems time to let the lid off and see how it played out. This is my first tech/web 2.0 start-up that I completely funded so who the hell knows what will happen. As soon as I launch you'll know. What is it? It is a place to share, vote, and comment on Sketches in a very "new web" sort of way.

NinjaPal (Start-up):
Haven't you always wanted a special ninja friend? I sure have. Wouldn't it be neat if your invisible ninja friend had quick access to all his/her ninja magic? Hmm...

Unnamed (Start-up):
This is a big one that I can't even talk about here yet. If it is half as ambitious as the plans it will make folks very happy.

BoycottEA (Non-for-profit):
I really want to get this off the ground soon but it may have to fall. If you have ever played a videogame you know what this still will be. And yes, they deserve it.

I'd like to say this is it, but these are the tip of an iceberg really. I have some heavy changes in how I treat comics coming in the next month. Please don't take this post as complaining - I love what I do and I'm very lucky to have a chance to do it. Taking stock of what is happening though is a bit humbling. All the time I talk with folks who are simply indifferent about their jobs. I can't imagine a world where I spent 70% of my life doing something I hate. Here is hoping I die young, happy, and massively overworked.
