Livin' the Dream in Baby Steps...

I didn't have a lot of time to do a new page of Banjo's Tune last week--oops! I'll try harder this week.
On a related note, I checked my Sitemeter tonight, and noticed that quite a few of the site visits to my BoneDaddy blog are from Google searches, which means random people are finding my blog while searching somewhat-related things, and actually taking a peek!
Open Mic night is as fun as it ever was, even if I don't always like the music being played. There's a lot of stuff like Matchbox 20 & Oasis being played for some reason, with the occasional-to-rare oldie. Then when I get up there it's all Cab Calloway, Johnny Cash, Danzig, stuff like that. In other words, it's awesome. I'm getting more comfortable with playing in front of strangers, though I still feel like my voice is prone to flattening/sharpening beyond my control, but i'm trying, at least.
I'd still love to play in a full band (some songs would be easier to pull off), but I guess I'll have to wait for the right opportunity. Maybe getting a bigger garage wouldn't hurt either.

That Pencil Hand's Been Busy...




Quick post--Been busy lately! It's been hard to get just one page a week done, but I'm trying. Had to take a break from Open Mic night this week, due to slight illness that couldn't decide whether it was coming or going, and may have been exacerbated by my erractic caffeine intake. I got Jason Pierce's logo done, and as you can see, I even got the bandname banged out, too! I also made a color version, which I'll post later after Jason's posted his on Facebook. I can't wait to hear what they sound like!

My Interests Are Competing For My Time...

Under orders by Amber, I'm giving a little update.
Sorry I haven't been very consistent with my comic posting! I've been a little busier this past week or two. I haven't even finished penciling the next page yet. Jason Pierce asked me to design a logo for his band, Shovelhead, last week. I did a little "Mort Jester" for him, which got me some big kudos. I also started looking into more reference material for a tattoo idea for a cousin of mine, which I'd been putting off for a little too long now. If only I could get this kind of work on a consistent basis!
I've also had the opportunity to hit Open Mic for the past couple weeks, which has been a blast. I fuck up a couple songs here and there, but overall it feels great to play again, and I'm glad I got over my little fear of performing in front of people (even if it isn't that many). Last week, Kevin got to watch me play finally, which was cool. He convinced me to play Little Red Riding Hood again, and again everyone knew what song I was playing by the first chord. I also got to try out a new song, called Megalomaniac Blues, which I'm very fond of. After I finished, a middle aged guy walked up and told me he liked my rendition of St. James Infirmary, which was one of his favorite songs.
Now on to working on the next page of Banjo's Tune!
