I’m hoping this blogger thing would 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.

And more shit that I’ll remember.

Ahaha, 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.
 
 
"Whooooooo"
'Howmph!"

*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 G ’23

P.S. JG24 here, editing this post layout, adding sketch images & working the overall design 12/20/24
