Remove R Comic (aka rm -r comic), by Gary Marks: Up in the sky!

A weekend alone.
Gary
I had great ambitions for this weekend. Jen is out of town, so I was going to be productive and finish up some work projects, finish a painting, do both comics for this week, help out with an Aikido intro class at my dojo, get my hair cut, see an eye doctor, and many many other things. Unfortunately, I've been working every day for the last 3 or 4 weeks, so I was tired, and I lost my will to do work. I also woke up late Sunday, so that meant no helping with the intro class. So instead, I slept, did artsy stuff, and surfed the web.

What does this mean for you my loyal readers? It means some photos of a painting I'm working on, and lot's and lot's of links.

The painting: It's called "Echoless"
Here are the first 3 stages, initial sketch, base coat, background work.

Now, since Wizard World is coming to Chicago this Thursday to Sunday (August 9th-12th). I've done a Superman comic, and I have a bunch of Superman links below. FYI, I'll be visiting Wizard World, obviously as an attendee.

Since the skit cuts off short, here's the transcript.
five for fighting Superman

wow... it's real, I thought it was a bad dream

but then again, automan was also real, and not just a bad dream, so why not superboy

and since we're on the subject, manimal

and.. misfits of science with Coutrney Cox

five for fighting - 100 years (real video). I just love this song...

Secret Wars

serenity (Five for Fighting song... sorry, I like thier music).

Cool computer physics prog. It's really basic, but the handdrawing recgonition is interesting.

Now, the thing originally lead me to you tube Saturday night, was this great comic book blog.
Here are some links from it.

Advice
Gary
Just a little advice, I say with an exhausted voice. If you have the choice, and are offered a job that requires 2 hours of commute each way, RUN! Run as if you are being chased by plague carrying zombies! Eventually you will grow to hate the exhaustion you feel every day. You'll dislike the constant 12 hour days (without overtime). Wasting 4 hours a day feels just like that, a waste. It also keeps you from have much of a life, up by 5:30am to get to work by 8:10, to leave at 5pm to get home or to anything you want to do by 7pm. This advice is really just me ranting because I'm tired as always, and because the one thing I love to do, train (Aikido), I never seem to be able to do. I get to train 1 to 2 times a week now, and when I'm there, half the time I'm too exhausted to think. Sigh.. oh well. Just some adivice, a 2 hour commute, hell, a 1 hour commute, really isn't worth it. OK, time for me to work.
