Disjointed Accounts - Finished, originally uploaded by Klugarsh.

It's done.

The comic is finished. Above is the *almost* final version of the cover (I'm holding off on uploading the final versions of the pages to my photo site).

And the audition went smashingly. It was for a children's cartoon, being produced by three local Indian men, and being animated in India, and it looks like I'll be doing 8-10 of the voices, out of about thirteen characters.

The Snob is most pleased.

The 24 Hour Wall

Well folks... It's over...

It's 10:38 pm, and I have been awake for almost 36 hours.

The wall in the photo is One of Four coated in funnies.

The G-Unit is so fantastically supportive. She loves the comic so much that she intends to pay to publish it.

I'm exhausted, and feel so Fucking Good.

19 1/2 hours into the 24 Hour Comic Challenge...

I begin to wonder if maybe those noises I'm hearing aren't actually there.

More than 15 hours into it...

The picture is one of the walls with the scripted, roughed pages taped to it.

Now, I am litening to Sympathy For the Devil & Fucking Well Eating Something.

This is going well... It feels good... But it isn't near fast enough...

I refuse to fail...

The challenge is bloody well challenging...

I'm gaining a certain momentum... But, enough?

Regardless, The G-Unit's cat is Really Fucking Unhappy about it.

Futility, Or The Sense Thereof

Pieces, originally uploaded by Klugarsh.

I'm in almost three hours now, and I cannot balance the accomplishments with the frustrations.

My mind is a skipping needle, "...you suck, you're not good enough, you're too slow..." hitting over & over.

And So It Goes...

More than 20 minutes into it, I finally crack, and the words & images come.

I can begin.

1:00

I've built this into something huge... In my damned head this is a fucking monster.

I can't get started because I'm afraid of its teeth. It's beginning to take the caste of all my past failures.

Fuck...

One more smoke, a few more key strokes, then that pen & paper have a battle to fight.

Fuck...

24 Hours

Gates Of Hell (Detail), originally uploaded by Klugarsh.

It is late Friday night.

I'm preparing to spend Saturday through Sunday working on the 24 Hour Comics Challenge.

I'm also going to be posting words and pictures here, documenting the insanity.

I need to sleep. But it is not yet time.

Tim the Enchanter

Like any other day, there I was...

Mailed off the book to Philly (a British edition of In Watermelon Sugar to a sexy bibliophile I've never met), then headed out, toward the liquor store, to peruze the booze & admire the parade of flesh at the front rack of slick, over-priced porn mags.

I had ten feet to go when he stopped me. "Nice hat." He said.

"Why thank you."

He proffered his hand & I shook it. His grip was like a myth. Ancient and solid. Not more than 5'6", with a white beard past his chest, and a shopping cart overflowing with the possessions that make his marginal life a thing of comfort. As much a thing of comfort as these things get.

"What's your name?" He inquired.

"Sinclair." I replied.

"I know."

"Do you?"

"Yes. You want to know how?"

"Of course."

"Because you just told me."

"Of course. What's your name?"

"Tim." He said.

"I know."

"How so?"

"Because you just told me."

"Of course."

We talked for a while, about flying elevators, upsidedown airplanes, couches with excess gravity, and the government weed & LSD that lead to these things.

I then bought him 40 of Old English, and said, "Tim the Enchanter, you take care of yourself."

And I thought his mythological grip would break my thumb...
