I had already pre-ordered the DVD online for in store pick up so I wasn't worried about that. What I had gone to the midnite sale for was the Joker figurine and the freebie Joker card. Unfortunately, the store wasn't prepared for a mass influx of nerds and had received only 6 Joker figurines which quickly went to the first 6 people. Also, the particular Best Buy I went to (Torrance) didn't receive any of the freebie cards. So my midnite excursion was all for nothing. The Best Buy staff on hand was very courteous and apologetic, plus it's not their fault, so I sort of felt bad for them dealing with all us grumpy nerds. Just too bad whoever does the ordering for this store fell asleep at the wheel. The good news is, the Joker figurine is now available to order at the Best Buy website, so I should be getting one tomorrow in Hawthorne.

It was a fun project and Ed & the guys at Antix were a great bunch of folks to work with. So please stop by your local comic book shop and pick it up or buy it here at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Grave-Unholy-Ed-Clayton/dp/061522623X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227820311&sr=8-1">Amazon</a> because I would like to work for these guys again! <div>Here are a couple of pieces I contributed to but ultimately weren't added to the book. The first is a pinup drawing by Ed that I contributed some photoshop richness to. The second is a pin up contributed by Brian Churilla which I had added tones to. Unfortunately for me, they wound up just publishing the version with just his inks cause I would have loved to have been able to say that I worked on a Brian Churilla pinup. The last piece is a rejected chapter lead in I made.<br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SS8QAko7-9I/AAAAAAAAARk/m3HnmUT_xR0/s1600-h/edvis-photo-grave-pin-TEST.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SS8QAko7-9I/AAAAAAAAARk/m3HnmUT_xR0/s400/edvis-photo-grave-pin-TEST.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273451290695564242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SS8QAVXwMsI/AAAAAAAAARc/ow8p3wu5214/s1600-h/Churilla-pin-up-tones2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SS8QAVXwMsI/AAAAAAAAARc/ow8p3wu5214/s400/Churilla-pin-up-tones2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273451286596956866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SS8P79R62dI/AAAAAAAAARU/Lzd8EGxnJFo/s1600-h/chap3c.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 262px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SS8P79R62dI/AAAAAAAAARU/Lzd8EGxnJFo/s400/chap3c.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273451211410561490" /></a><br /></div><div>In other work, I designed the label for a brand new ice cream company.

That is, on Sunday I weighed in at 228lbs, which puts me over 100lbs less since my heaviest weight of 330lbs in 2006. That also puts me at around 64lbs less then when I started on the weight loss competition with <a href="http://alexdeligiannis.blogspot.com/">Alex "Skinny Toon" Deligiannis </a>back in March. I'm excited to see where we're both at when we reach the end of the competition in mid September.

But I am doing my best to keep up with him. At the start of our competition, I weighed in at 292lbs and as of the last time I weighed myself I was 238lbs. When we first started our competition, the pants I wore on the night of the weigh in were size 58 and last week I bought a new pair of pants that are size 48 and they're already starting to get a little loose. I went from wearing size 3-4XL t-shirts to currently XXL. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very overweight and have a long way to go, but I am starting to see results in the clothes that I wear and I think this competition has a been a good thing for both Alex and I. I don't know about him but I very much want to keep going, even after our competition ends in September. Maybe a sequel? Though I have reached the point where my weightloss has slowed and I need to start readjusting my exercise routine and diet, I unfortunately don't fit into any of my old clothes so I've had to start digging deep in my closet, as you can tell by the picture below.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/SHr9A0ExIrI/AAAAAAAAAQg/WdWNLbN7FVM/s400/Photo+23.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222764908309979826" /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div></div></div>chiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16358118549392496882noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173411.post-44400387273276664292008-05-15T14:33:00.000-07:002008-05-15T14:47:49.243-07:00Scud 24 is out, get it before it's gone!<div>The very last chapter of <a href="http://www.robschrab.com/">Rob Schrab's</a> Scud the Disposable Assassin is in stores now.

If you do miss it, you won't have to wait too long since next month will see the release of the giant collected Scud book which collects each issue into one handy, roach crushing tome.

Not only is it one of the greatest comics you'll ever read, but I also got to do the artwork behind the credits! I've been a big fan Rob Schrab's work since first discovering his amazing films at channel101.com and Robot Bastard. From there I've started collecting issues of Scud from wherever I could find them and have since become a big Scud fan as well. It's been a huge honor for me to even be included in the new issues of Scud and I'm excited and elated to finally see them in print!! Scud has been out of print for a long time so if you're not totally caught up, not to fret, Rob will be releasing a HUGE collected Scud that collects all issues into one killer book that will be published through Image comics in June. But in the meantime, make sure to pick up issues 21 through 24 that will be released every month starting this week til the release of the BIG book in June!

We did well this year, but we need to make room for all the cool Hard Ei8ht volume 2 stuff coming in 2008! So to help move our last box of Hard Ei8ht volume 1 and our few remaining t-shirts, we are now offering them through paypal with FREE shipping! It looks like there's shipping on the first Paypal page, but when you proceed to checkout, it isn't added into your final total. But that's not all, from now until August 8th we're also selling Hard Ei8ht vol. 1 at a discounted price of only $15!! That's $4.95 off the cover price! There's no better way to prepare for volume 2 than by picking up volume 1!<br /><br />Preview a couple pages at our <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7403696@N02/sets/72157600010275200/detail/">Flickr page</a><br />or just<br />Buy it here!<br /><form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><br /><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1" /><br /><input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"><br /><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"><br /><input type="hidden" name="business" value="Hard8comic@gmail.com"><br /><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Hard Ei8ht volume 1"><br /><input type="hidden" name="amount" value="15.00"><br /><input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00"><br /><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"><br /><input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"><br /><input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF"><br /></form><br /><br />For our shirts, we offer a men's shirt design and a ladies shirt design.

But for 5 magical days in July, it becomes the mecca of all nerdom. For that is when the Comic Con comes to town.<br />I will be joining my fellow Hard Ei8ht Godfathers at booth 1034. We will have many wondrous items, hand crafted and personally tasted for your enjoyment. Some of the curios you may find at our trading post include copies of the Book of Hard Ei8ht volume the first. Some say it was written by a mad hermit and painted with brushes made from his own hair and paints made from his own kidney stones. Others say that within its words is a secret recipe for eternal life! While others still say it's a really cool graphic novel featuring 9 stories by some of the animation industry's newest talent.<br />But that's not all we'll have for you, oh no, there is more. We will have artists sketchbooks, the likes of which you have never seen before! Unless you've been to comic con before, then you've probably seen artists sketchbooks, but these are really really good and will add that much needed curb appeal to your bookshelf. We'll even sign em for ya! Or if you wish, we'd be happy to sketch in them for you, which is much easier since most of us are illiterate.<br />Right now you must be thinking, "Surely that is enough, there can not possibly be anything else you could have to offer!" Well my friend, you have thought wrong. We'll also have poker chips, prints, the living soul of a man named Bill Buckley, and more!<br />Also make sure to stop by and stare in wonder at our rare posters that can see in to the FUTURE!! These posters were made by mystics and heretics to give you a peak at the stories that will be revealed in the upcoming Hard Ei8ht vol. 2!! What fate shall befall the man that tampers with the fabric of time itself!? An awesome one!<br />Behold this sneak peek of the sneak peek I myself conjured for the San Diego Comic Con! But be warned, once you have seen it, you may have tampered with the space time continuim and you might turn into a singing chimney sweep. Which isn't so bad really if you think about it. Anyways, BEHOLD!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/Rp3LAujAyJI/AAAAAAAAAGg/E-oGXUHs7Qk/s1600-h/hard8poster4txtrev.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/Rp3LAujAyJI/AAAAAAAAAGg/E-oGXUHs7Qk/s400/hard8poster4txtrev.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088446367353850002" border="0" /></a><br />"Blymy!

This was quite the daunting task since I've been buying the same one for the past ten years or so. The first one I tried was a clear gel deodorant. I didn't know it was going to dry like hair gel! Everyone's heard the joke about Don King in a head lock, but this made it look like i had Zach Braff in a headlock. So after one use, I either had to shave my armpits or buy another deodorant. Well, I already spend enough money on razor cartridges just shaving my legs so I decided to try out another deodorant. When I brought this new deodorant home and popped of the cap, like a fortune cookie, there was wisdom on the inside!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/RnI2wlpzSyI/AAAAAAAAAFA/KEP5Es6rzvo/s1600-h/riskybidness.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__cMm-XI50TI/RnI2wlpzSyI/AAAAAAAAAFA/KEP5Es6rzvo/s400/riskybidness.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5076179938369030946" border="0" /></a>I feel good knowing that I have a deodorant that finally has the balls to tell it like it is. I need to take more risks and now I have the odor blasting, perspiration pounding deodorant that a man on the go like myself needs. Smell that world? That's the smell of freedom and it's coming to put you in a headlock!<br /><br />In other news, I now have over 3000 profiles views. wow. Granted that 2500 of those are probably me, i didn't think that many people actually look at this place.
