Due to precipitating circumstances with work and/or life, I’m unfortunately announcing that my online comic KISSING CHAOS:’TIL I DIE, will no longer be updated every Thursday. The comic is not finished, and I WILL KEEP UPDATING it, on an irregular basis. However, I’m just so swamped that I can’t keep it updated every thursday, and I don’t want it advertised as such on the TransmissionX website.
So, follow me on Twitter, or read this blog, or periodically check out tx.kissingchaos.com to find out when there are new strips up. I am still aiming to COMPLETE the remainder of KC:TID by the end of this year.
The reason for this is that I’m launching a brand new story on txcomics.com in January 2010. Stay tuned for more info about that very soon!
So, I’ve been toying around with animation for a few years, but kept those experiments close to my chest. I’m pretty fail at sharing. It’s like everything I work on is a ’secret project’.
But I’m throwing caution to the wind, and working on a short animation, which will be the next episode of KISSING CHAOS: ‘TIL I DIE. I’m endeavoring to get it online on the 21st of this month. I’m such a bastard, so I’m not even going to bother promising of giving a guarantee that it will be ready by then. But I will try.
TCAF this past weekend was fun. I was actually barely there, to be honest. But I did help pretty up the TransmissionX area with a Kissing Chaos display. When I actually did go to the show, it was mainly to see old friends who traveled far and long to be there. It was actually really nice to just chill with some of my local buddies that I haven’t hung with in a while. The TX crew also got interviewed for a podcast, which was kinda fun. I’ll have more news and a link when this gets aired.
Therefore, soley by the virtue of having virtually no responsibilities during a comic con, I declare this years TCAF: Best. Convention. Ever. (though I kinda wish some of my “friends” told me about karaoke. I woulda fucked ya’ll up.)
I was also mad inspired this past weekend, so I’m writing like a… something..My current soundtrack is Protest the Hero’s Kezia album. It’s slinking it’s way up my all time fave list.
Also, I’ve been obsessing over the song LINDA LINDA by the Blue Hearts, and J punk band from back in the day.
The above is a cover version from a movie. Here’s the actual band kicking out the jams:
So, I’ve been incognito the last couple of weeks. That’s because I’m 11 days into being a dad. A dad of twins! And so far, so good! Everyone is still alive, and happy, sleep deprivation notwithstanding. I’ve also managed to get back into doing some work, though that’s a huge challenge when you work at home, and both wife and kids are around. But I’ll find a way to make it work. Someone’s gotta keep these kids in diapers!!
I was debating if I should put pics of the kids online, but I’m not sure I want to be “that” guy. Perhaps just on myspace and facebook for my “friends”.
And after a bit of an absence, Kissing Chaos ‘Til I die should get back on schedule next week… keyword “should”!
okay. not really. More like, choose your own style.
I opened the floor up to the readers/fans to choose a film genre/style that I apply to an upcoming KISSING CHAOS:TIL I DIE installment. Basically, you can tell me whether you’d like to see Kissing Chaos done in the style of a western, horror (any kind), sci-fi, comedy, drama, 80’s action, 90’s Pulp Fiction rip off… whatever you can think of.
Whatever suggestion has the most requests, I’ll use that style to tell a part of the KC:TID story.
After a few weeks, I’ve had a number of emails and a few comment posts here and there with suggestions. There is a clear front runner among the ideas I’ve recieved, but I’m keeping a lid on it till I close the phone lines, so to speak.
But I’m going to try and make this post (on mydestroyer.com) the official place to drop suggestions. So just comment here to let me know what style you want me to attempt!!
