Take a breath....

Just before you get another KICK in the nuts!!!!

whew, well I finished my initial run on GI JOE 6 issues and a 6 page #0 issue. So all in all 138 consecutive comic pages. I know that may not sound like a lot to many of you veterans, but it was the longest run I've had the opportunity to work on yet. It was a total blast, especially in hind sight. There were definantly some tight spots there where it came down to the wire. Luckily the inkers and colorist were right there beside me working their butts off to get it done aswell.

Usually there is this euphoric sense of calm and accomplishment after you finish a deadline. After each issue is done on time, but especially when you are done with a long project. I got to savor that for about 4 hours when I slept heh. Mon. I finished 2 1/2 pages of Joe to get it done. I got 3-4 hours of sleep and then did another 2 pages of Fantastic Four on Tuesday. Yesterday I did another page of FF, some quick revisions and I penciled and inked a cover to Joe #6. Today Im hoping to get atleast a page done of FF and maybe more.

I found when you have a new project to start on immediately when you've just finished another, you can use that "high" and be productive creatively with it. I should be completely exhausted and creatively drained, but its quite the opposite. Im excited about the new project, and am still buzzing off of getting Joe done. All that combined and Ive been crazy productive this week.

Now hopefully I can get a page of 45 done and some RuneStone work finished in all that aswell. not to mention my commission list. take a breath...here it comes...
