35 Years Ago Today…
Star Wars (A New Hope) was released in theaters for the first time.
It went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time (up to that point). Adjusted for inflation, it comes in at number 3 in the list of highest-grossing films ever made right behind Avatar (2009) and Gone With The Wind (1939). If you were to include toy/merchandise sales into the mix, it would take the top spot by a very wide margin. It isn’t all just about making money. It currently averages an 8.8/10 on IMDB which places it at #17 all time as voted by users.

The original Star Wars is still one of my favorite films. Dag! Look at that poster.
So I’ve been rather dormant lately, but that’s not for lack of working! (LIE it totally is)
I’ve been off the grid for a bit (in the loosest definition of Off-The-Grid possible) and that’s probably not going to change much, but I am still working on stuff.
I’ve been toying with my comic DIRT a lot. I’ve been thinking of ditching color. I think the story will work fine with out it, and it would be a heck of a lot easier to finish. I’m rather fond of how she (the main character) looks. She feels more feminine than any other design, but I’m still not sure if it reads that she’s covered in goo as opposed to just being made of it. I also like the eyes, I feel they seperate her from primates a bit better and make her look a little more reptilian/amphibian. That’s very important to me. Because I hate monkeys…
With a passion.
Power Drive A is now available for sale in the Puppytubecomix store. Click here!
After the difficult process of figuring out page distribution and being forced to push a handful of submissions back, I’ve finally arranged the final line-up. These folks are sick talented and their comics are outrageously cool!
I will have information available about submitting the next issue, Power Drive B some time later this month. But for now, let’s revel in this badness!
Shit just got real, folks.
WIP Cover fro my newly completed mini comic! It’ll be printed in Power Drive A(Maybe?) this April! If not I’ll be printing out some copies myself, regardless so it’s all cool!

BOOKS OF HUMAN FLESH: THE HISTORY BEHIND ANTHROPODERMIC BIBLIOPEGY
Amongst a collection of medical oddities housed at the Surgeons’ Hall Museum in Edinburgh lies a tattered pocketbook [left], no longer than the length of a man’s hand. It is dark brown—nearly black—with a pebbled texture and gold lettering that has begun to fade with age. To the untrained eye, it is altogether unremarkable in its appearance. However, upon closer inspection, the words ‘EXECUTED 28 JAN 1829’ and ‘BURKE’S SKIN POCKET BOOK’ come into focus, revealing the item’s true origins.
This is a book bound in the flesh of William Burke, the notorious murderer. Between 1827 and 1828, Burke and his accomplice, William Hare, drugged and killed 16 people for the sole purpose of selling their bodies to the anatomist, Dr Robert Knox. During their murder trial, Hare turned King’s Evidence in exchange for immunity. Burke was eventually found guilty of the murders and hanged before [ironically] being dissected in Edinburgh Medical College.

Can’t wait for the adaption.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1mvoyIH371qaz1hso1_1280.jpg)

GLORY!
I am DONE! With what you are all no doubt asking? I know how important it is to everyone I keep them up to speed on every activity I pursue.
Well if you must know, I have just completed the line work for my first ever (hopefully) published comic evah. Remember that Power Drive thing I’ve been talking about (or sort of briefly mentioning) Well I completed my submission for it today.
I have to do a few touch ups here and there but I could send it off now and it would still be one cohesive story. HOLLA!
So hopefully with this behind me I can free up my mind to work on some stand alone art pieces. Won’t that be fun kids?
Oh, and here, have a preview of my comic. You earned it kiddo.
Ain’t that spiffy?
I need to learn to use tags more often
but seriously i can’t wait for summer
Can’t wait to live there.
