So for the last three days, before I allowed myself to go any further on the art of issue 8 on Pirate Club, I forced myself to sit down and write/reright the rest of the series. I think I just realized how much more I like drawing than I do writing. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy the writing process, but after 3 days straight of ONLY writing, it makes ya go a bit crazy. But at any rate, I finished scripting issue 10 about an hour ago, reread through 8,9, and 10 and am quite pleased with how it all turns out. I will say this though, I wish I had scripted the WHOLE thing first. That way I could always edit as I go, but all the points would have been plotted and scripted more smoothly. There's always next time. Speaking of which...I am 39 pages into my next comic project, a child friendly space epic. Should be fun.

Sunday was Rachels 21 birthday and we all went up to the Red Iguana to feast on some Mole dishes and have some shots. Then off to Burts Tiki Lounge where we enjoyed more shots and $1 Pabst cans while listening to Utah's finest Rockabilly act: Sweatin Willy and the Utah County Swillers. Great stuff. Sweatin Willy being Elias' old High School english teacher, and a mutual friend, sang happy birthday to Rachel and made fun of us for smoking Prime Times. It was a great time had by all!

Also, what else...oh yeah, I just found a box of my old drawings. And I don't mean, like, 3 years old, I'm talkin about drawings that I did in elementary school. Lots of drawings of the Ninja Turtles, Star Wars and Edward Scissorhands. Rachel and I were putting some wedding presents into my parents attic and I found a bunch of boxes I had forgoten about. Even a bunch of old comics I had drawn in Junior High and High School. The Junior High ones are the most humorous, those being the big Image Comics days an all. Ahhh memories.

PS- Pirate Club issue 5 hits stores on 2-3-05 and I now have T-Shirts for sale on my site, happy day!!
