road trip (haiku)
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008As I write this, it’s 8pm on Monday night and I’ve been operating on over-drive since yesterday. The opportunity to take a road trip to Miami came up and I find travel hard to resist. However, I have clients with graphic design needs and readers who expect a comic on Wednesday. I was all set to let the opportunity pass me by yesterday but today I decided that a balance between responsibility and impulsive behavior was possible if I put my mind to it. It’s been a long day but my clients are sorted and you guys get your comic. It’s not fancy, of course, but it should hold you over til next week. 
So what brings me to Miami? Jim got a last minute offer to be in a short indie film and wanted me to join him on the adventure. We’ve managed to get a place to stay through a friend of a friend and we’ll be staying in a warehouse/art studio/living quarters. It should be fun.
Before I dash off to pack and do more work stuff (we leave around 4 am o.O ) I have to mention the killer party I attended on Saturday night. It was to celebrate the Vitale Brothers new studio space and was packed with art, a fashion show, live music and interesting people. Check out this family of artists here and be sure to also check out their links page where there are many more cool artists to explore. I lost an hour or so bouncing around their site the other night. I think you’ll dig it.
Okay I’m off. Internet access may be a bit of a challenge while I’m gone so if I don’t approve or reply to a comment or email, be patient with me til I get back online.

I’ve been runnin all over the internets and digging through all the links on www.theworldexplodes.com and I could kick myself for not coming here sooner and being a more active reader. Pout. Thanks for the welcome, I hope you have happy fun time travel, my tat is all busy being made for me at a less on tv shop in St. Paul. Hooray for W7th.

Calan, damnit, don’t you ever read my mass emails about my everexpanding empire? I’m hosting several comics now, and on top of that Ratchet lives with The Wife and I. I’m adding two more in march :-p. Jeebus girl.
You’ll get a kick out of Ratchet’s stuff, seriously.
