First, this month’s books! I’m a book hoarder.

The ‘how to make webcomics‘ is a signed copy, my friend got it for me from Emerald City Comic Con. She admitted that partly reason why she got this because the guys are good folk and charming XD. I’m slowly working on this, maybe it will help me maintaining my webcomic project more successfully XD. A caution note, this book isn’t about how to draw webcomics, but more of how to get it up and running and then maintaining it, which is a hardest part of webcomics, I should know, I had several that failed :P

‘The Happiest days of our lives’ by Wil Wheaton is also a signed copy, I actually saw real him in PAX last year, attending his panel and kinda stand next to his table gawking XD

Now onto work related news, I got a job! oh yes, I’m inker for this manga project called ‘Dog Eaters‘, They expected to debut 22 pages ‘episode 0′ in San Diego Comic Con. The rest of the project is about 160 pages long, so this is what I’ll be working on for a while.

Also next month, I’ll be working on another 10 pages colored comic, the script was already written, and partially drafted, should be interesting, it will be online here when it’s done. After that, I’ll be working on a book project, which hopefully I’ll be able to finish before the end of this year and hopefully I can find publisher, but nothing is set in stone yet.

There’s also M.I.M.C 3, I’m not positive I’ll enter, the result for MIMC 2 still isn’t announced except for grand prize, I wondered what went wrong.

he died.

a lot of you on my flist talked about this, can hardly miss it, everyone here in Thai also, tho some talked about it with glee, made me feel sad. No matter how crazy he seems to be, I like him very much and I admire his skills and what he did, so it’s quite a lost.

somehow, I always think that he wouldn’t be dying of old age, and I guess a lot of people share that sentimental.

if I were to believe in god, I’d say that he took all the good people out of earth early, and leave all the … not so good.. behind.

why would we be good if all the reward we got is leaving behind our love ones prematurely, hardly fair, right? god?
