I’m hoping this blogger thingwould make it easier for me to update regularly, so look out, dickheads I’m finna update with a rage!
There’s a ton of illustrations, stories and sketches I’ve yet to post, not to mention projects to announce and promote.

On the shelf:

Bad Ideas #s1 & 2 (Cover Colors) from Image Comics.
Tastes Like Chicken Magazine, both print and online http://www.tlchicken.com
Kitchen Sink Magazine #8
A United Front from http://www.cartoonmilitia.com/
Punchthroat Anthology www.punchthroat.com
Some Bitch Told Me To Draw – a sketchbook collection from www.madterroristpress.com

And more shit that I’ll remember.

Putting the Backbone Back (cover colors) Image Comics – September
Jingle Belle #1-4 (Cover and interiors) Dark Horse Comics – Nov 04- Feb 04
Is This The End Of Teen Heaven (Story/art) Oni Press – Mid 05

I will explain what the deal is with Teen Heaven, and why it did not come out last month.

Ah! My first ever “Blog” Post. Prior to this, I had a GeoCities site, then I built a Flash site on hosted servers.
That goes back to 2001 (!) It’s been off and on.
After this was Myspace (where I did quite a bit of blogging), then WordPress, then Squarespace, and now here!
Hopefully these fill out with the upcoming Patreon Posts. I’m copying, pasting, and commenting.

These posts are definitely products of their time, and I will be editing the nasty shit out.
I apologize in advance for any offense or hurt anything may cause.
I think that’s a big reason why I’m reposting with comment, to gain objectivity via hindsight and correct course where needed.

Originally, this was just to update visitors with news of new art and releases.
I was pretty deep in full time and freelance work around this time, and yet was still able to hustle.
Ah youth.

Bad Ideas was fun. I was just looking at my copies of the issues and trade paperback.
I miss doing fun anthologies like Kitchen Sink, A United Front, and Punchthroat!
I have set up Clip Studio templates to pick away at creating short stories like I did in those days.
No hi concept stuff, just stretching my brain on the page.

SBTMTD is a title I’m still unhappy with, and makes me cringe, but I guess it’s what I deserve.
The contents of this sketchbook are included in a pdf sketchbook collection titled “Allow Me To Introduce Myself”.
Details to come.

Anyway, It’s a late night. I’m sleepy. 
I’ll dive more into the projects above, along with back stories, process, sketches and more in upcoming Rewind posts.
I may also revisit these posts again and add more commentary.

Peace,
Jose
