Just returned to the internetz from an actual one week vacation. It was the first vacation that I have taken in I can't remember how long (probably about 5-6 years, maybe more). I pretty much turned my brain off, turned my computer off and just went into full relaxation mode. A week to myself with nothing to do in terms of work and nothing pressing (yay for having comics done ahead of time). I do have to say, it is a great way to clear your mind and relax the soul.

Special Landscape comic, finally decided not to be lazy and just jam it on the page in all of its landscapy goodness. Enjoy.

My home computer has met with an unfortunate fate. Having braved the internets for 4 long years it has dodged many-a-virus. Last week though it fell victim to a rather nasty registry re-writer and boot interrupter. Needless to say I spent almost an entire week trying to fix it. It is stable now for the most part but who knows when it will be down again. But no worries, the comic is safe and will continue to update as it always has. No rest for the wicked.

Computer is broke at home, comics will continue to update as normal, no worries there. And the GN03 is on its way, right after life gets finished busting my wallets knee caps. Those bills are a vicious syndicate.

I'm bbaaaaaaccckkkk! So I moved on the 4th and have been without the internets at home since then. Luckily the comic has been doing its thing and updating automatically. Thankgod for some foresite and a bunch of comics done ahead of time.
A week and some ago the site was besiged by a third party ad virus. Thankyou to everyone that emailed me to give me a heads up. This helped me recognize and isolate the problem with haste. You fans rock!!
The last bit of news is the Plush and Blood : Chat is back up and running, www.plushandblood.com/Chat . There is a one time small registration and then you are gold to chat your brains out. The same rules in the forum apply to chat as well.
And thankyou for some new fan art from a couple of fans, you guys rock hardcore.!!

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me...
Disaster has happened, for now, some Bill Withers

All is going well, if you have a chance again check out my gf's new site; Sharkbyte Entertainment ; she'd really appreciate it. I've been pretty scarce lately due to my job. I'll continue to be scarce for a little while longer as I concentrate on that. No worries though, like always the comic will continue updating.
Cheers

This is the project my girlfriend is currently creating. It is to be a short film and her thesis for her masters degree in film. Take a look, see what you think.
=^.^=
05/24/09 5:00pm
This will be the LAST of the Sunday
updates. Potential career oriented job has come my way and I will be needing all my time to concentrate on that. Fear not, the Tues and Fri comics will continue to update. I hope you have all enjoyed the extra updates. I for one have really enjoyed them. It paces out the story quite well for the second and third acts. On that note, 262, hollllly crap, it was just yesterday that it feels like I was having theGN Vol2 printed. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your May.

Happy Birfday Melissa! Its my girlfriends birthday today. We just got back from dinner and Disney. Good eats and a fun walk. We are annual passholders, and she found out that if you sign up for something on Disneys site, you get the cash equivalent of a ticket on your birthday. So she got about 70$ as a birfday gift from Disney. Pretty cool stuff.
=^.^=
05/17/09 10:30am
Wow half way through May already. This year does not bode well. At least I know that I can survive on a few dollars. If I ever get a long term job I should be able to make money hand over fist at this rate. Still lookin.
=^.^=
05/09/09 9:45pm
Tomorrow will be the second Sunday comic. I hope you are all enjoying the extra comics. Also tomorrow is mothers day. So everyone go out and do something nice for your moms. They love you and took/take care of you for the first 18 years (and sometimes
more) years of your life. Rarely do they get a thankyou. Most of the time all they get is angsty teens whinning their asses off. It isn't until years later in the teens late 20s or early 30s do they realize what impact their parents left on them. So celebrate mothers day, and when it comes around, fathers day. Always remember to hug when you meet, and say "I love you" when you leave. You never know when someone might need a hug, or when those words will really matter.
LOVE YOU MOM!
Sincerly,
your only house cat,
Me =3

05/04/09 11:30pm
Helllllo Tuesdays folks. Just a reminder the comic updated on Sunday as well, so if you missed it remember to check the previous pages to see what you missed.
In other news off to the dentist on the morrow to get two molars pulled, well not the dentist... Oral Surgon, some days I think it would be better if I was just struck in the face by a 2x4 and have them all removed. Then replace them all with bionic teeth.
=^.^=
05/03/09 9:50am
Happy Birfday Dad!!!
And remember everyone, the comic has updated today.
=^.^=
04/29/09 10:00am
And on the other side of the coin, those of you non whiners out there that have stayed true, you rock harder then any fan anywhere. Like I said to Tav on deviant art. All I need is a great fans like you guys to keep my spirits up. As long as you guys are happy there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I spend more then 6 hours a day looking for jobs, the rest of the time is spent coloring the comics, paying the bills I can, spending time with my beautiful gf, and watering my plants. So thanks to those out there that still care. I still care about you, Im just not around that often to show it.
=^.^=
04/28/09 7:00pm
NEWS!!!! Comic is going to go to a 3 day a week updating run while I am unemployed. Sunday, Tuesday, Friday. So enjoy it while it lasts. Also new is the C box on the right. Ill be here and there on the interwebs, I've been spending a lot of time offline getting a few things in order around here. As always nothing will stop the comic from updating but I may disappear again.
To all the whiners out there, deal with it. There have been a few people that think their lives are supposed to take priority over mine and this comic. They seem to think that throwing a fit and claiming this and that will some how guilt me into spending more time on the forum. They seem to think my absence from the forum and chat is a personal attack on them. What I would like them to remember is that I am UNEMPLOYED. I am working very hard on attempting to find EMPLOYMENT. Which means that I spend ALOT of time offline. I provide all the services you use free of charge to you. Don't you dare for a second think that you are the most important part of what I have created. I do what I can to accommodate everyone. All I ask is that you do the same for me. A little understanding goes a long way. Instead of complaining how much the forum/chat/news/comics suck why don't you cheer the fuck up and deal with it.
=^.^=
04/22/09 5:30pm
Still unemployed. Nothing much more to report. My tomato plant is about 6 feet tall with about 40+ green cherry
tomatoes on it. My snow snap peas are full and fresh, tasted great. Oregeno is out of control all over the place. Made apple pie, baklava, cookies, pita bread, and perfect steaks. Its one of my catharic exercises, along with painting and writing. Keeps me sane. We'll see what else I can cook up.
=^.^=
04/06/09 8:30pm
Hey all, I have a new painting up for auction so drop on by and throw some bids in if you have some cash.
Cheers!
=^.^=
03/31/09 2:00am
EarthBox update, the cherry tomato plant has take over and is growing 1-2 inches a day! The Oregano has also finally taken off along with the Rosemary. The Basil and Serrano pepper have fianlly got a leg up and started growing visibly as well.

03/22/09 8:30 pm
I have done some major overhauls to the Gallery, and created two new pages to house the Art of War concept art. I am currently working to build yet another page to house the Aircats concept work.
=^.^=
03/22/09 1:30 pm
ATTENTION : Do not panic if some of the images in the gallery disappear for a moment. I am doing some site maintenance and things will be going up and down today. The Comic will not be affected.

Put a few coats of sealer and a clear coat and hung up the four paintings today. Have a look.
I wanted to put them all together but I did not have a wall big enough in the living room. So I had to split them around the TV.
All together

Wow January is over. One down 11 to go. But on a brighter note February is the month of freakin awesome games. Street Fighter IV on the 18th, Fire Emblem on the 16th, Ys Book 1 &2 on the 24th, Dragon Quest on the 17th, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War II on the 18th, Blue Dragon Plus on the 24th. Lots of fun. Plus Atlus is releasing a ton of stuff in March as well. God I love that company. I don't think they have put out a game that I haven't like. Though I could be biased from working there.

01/27/09 10:00am
Betrayal, lets talk about it. It seems fitting seeing todays comic. It is ironic that todays comic and life seem to line up together, or is that coincidental. Either way, betrayal. It is possibly the most harm you can do to someone. In my opinion, worse the death itself. With death your done, you don't have to face anything after that. But betrayal, that lasts a long time. Longer if its from someone you've always trusted. You have to live with the lies, and the truths you now know. Truths you've always known deep inside the back you your mind but were never willing to admit to yourself. I guess it happens between everyone at some point in their lives. Best friends, lovers, co-workers, people you know, even people you don't know. Its a sobering experience to have a knife thrust into your back. You realize the world is not as big as you thought it was. It is a small fearful world with hints of claustrophobia that is as selfish as they come. Hell, look at yourself, rest assured that you will betray someone, maybe not on purpose or maybe you did it for the hell of it. Maybe you were betrayed recently. What ever the reason your world just shrunk. The grandiose sparkling jewel where anything you can imagaine can come true, just got a little duller and the sky seems that much farther away. Your heart breaks just a little as you find there are less and less people in the world that you can trust. And even less people that are the people that you thought you knew so well. All it takes is an overheard conversation that you were not supposed to hear, something seen that was not supposed to be seen, something deliberate to break your heart/ruin you, something that sweeps the floor out from under you.
It's times like these that you need someone to fall back on, but there is the problem. Most of the time the person doing the betraying is that person you need to fall back on. You begin to fall, and there is noone there to catch you. Just laughter, just taunts, just the knife in your back that you cannot reach. But occasionally, there is someone you can fall back on someone you can trust. When that happens, hold onto them dearly. Don't let go. Sure there might be betrayals down the road, but be happy. You cannot spend your life worrying about where the knife will come from. Surround yourself with people that enjoy your company and never stop smiling.
=^.^=
01/20/09 10:00am
Happy Inaguration day, out with the old in with the new. Now lets just hope to God, Budda, Zeus, and Odin that he can patch some of the holes on this sinking boat. The rats have not started to abandon ship just yet so I guess thats a good sign. View my fun Art or War stuff in the Art or War section of the forum. Or you can also find it on my Dev Art account. Also a thankyou to the few people that shot me emails about the than, then breakdown. I never could get them straight until now. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. Feel free to yell at me more if you find errors. God knows that I try to improve, but one set of eyes gets tired after coloring for so long.
=^.^=
01/16/09 1:00am
Not to much to report. Life goes as it goes. I've been posting a bit of my new watercolor drawings in the Art or War section of the forum. Its good fun. You can also find it on my Dev Art account.

01/09/09 11:00pm
Nearly half way through January yet and I still have not even began to recover from break. Seems like I stepped off the plane yesturday. Which really bites because my brain is in "whoa slow down" mode and my body is in "hey speed up" mode.

December December December. The year is officaly over. The company I am working for has moved to a new building, the game I am working on has moved into crunch mode, my old car has moved on, I have moved on to a new car, the comic keeps moving, a month of moves. Who knows where it will all go. Been goofin around with water color paints lately and have been having a ball. They are really fun to work with. Nearly filled a sketch book with the water color "sketches". Fun times.
=^.^=
12/05/08 10:00am

Everyone that Pre-Ordered your comics are on their ways. To everyone that has not ordered yet Ill put a link to the Store to show you the way =~.^=
Speaking of the Store, it has been revamped a bit. The comics now link to Indy Planet, they are handling my distribution. So buying the comics will take you there. Commission prices have been reduced significantly, I figure with December comin up I should lower prices for the Christmas season.
(And if you still want a signed copy of Vol2 I have a few left, email me for details.)
The Archive has also undergone a change to make it less clunky.
=^.^=
11/20/08 11:30pm
Turkey day is almost upon us. Hopefully everyone has somewhere to go and lots of foods to eat.
The printers said the Graphic Novel has been finished and has been shipped out. So hopefully it should be in your hands before Dec. Heres keeping my paws crossed.
=^.^=
11/11/04 11:00pm
Slow going. The GNVol02 is still at the printers so patience. Crunch time at work so I probably will be pretty scarce on the forum and IM. Got to concentrate on making everything perfect for this game to go gold.

If your in America, GO VOTE!!
I don't care what you vote for or who, just go vote. Exercise your right to choose (even if it seems a farcical bit of theater). You cannot complain about the government in which you live in unless you vote. Only then can you say "well I wanted it the other way *whine whine whine*"

Still crossing my fingers for a release date of Oct 31 or the first week in Nov. As a bonus here is a sneak peak at one of the panels on Page 200. Enjoy Sneaky Peak
=^.^=
09/29/08 10:00am
Ok, quick update, I moved this weekend so everything of mine is in disarray. I have no internet at home and well, nothing set up to even jimmy my computer to. So bear with me until I can get everything up and running and back on schedual. Comics will still appear at their regular times, no worries about that. Ill be a ghost on the forum (even less so then the last few weeks), just because I need to get the old apartment cleaned, set up the new one, etc etc etc etc. My sister was over last weekend and we had a blast, went and visted the beach, Disneyland, movies, just chilled out and had some fun. Its her Birfday today (I thought it was yesturday, funny story about that, ask me sometime), so HAPPY BIRFDAY LITTLE SISTER!
=^.^=
09/12/08 10:00am
Friday, wow, september is flying by. My sister is coming to visit next week, and immediatly after that I am moving to a different apartment. Extremely busy this month and whats in store next month, Vol 2 of the Graphic Novel. Soooo Im trying to get all 200 pages done this month to get the graphic novel out by the time page 200 actually hits (oct 31 for all those interested... almost like I planned it =>.>= =<.<=). But all in all should be fun. Lets just keep our fingers crossed that I don't run into the same printing problems as last time.
=^.^=
09/05/08 12:00am
Friday, finally. Even though this was a four day week it has been a long friggen week. Ive been exhausted alllllll week. Bleh. In other news Viva Pinata 2 is out. Cant wait to get my hands on that... and then get my hands on some time.... and then get my hands on the controler. Yes I know thats a stretch but some how Ill get that time thing wrangled.
=^.^=
09/02/08 9:30am
September already thats friggen depressing. Where did the year go. Anyways finished with the forth and final chocobo pic. They are all hanging on the wall at the office getting questionable looks by all. Ill post a pic later tonight. Hope everyone had a great memorial day vacation, kicked back, relaxed, played some games, socialized, ate pie, enjoy life. Hit 80,000 posts in the forum, which I would say is pretty active. Other then that, nothing to exciting going on.
=^.^=
08/22/08 9:30am
BR25 up and running, its a special Olympics addition so be sure to stop by and check it out. So heres a question, I was talking with my gf last night and she seems convinced that I could sell one of my Chocobo paintings. While Im not willing to let go of one of my originals I could be persuaded to create a copy of one of the three. The question is, how much would someone pay for it? Just a ball park estimate of what you think they are worth. Im curious to see.
In other news not much happeneing, busy busy busy. Doing a bit of work on the new Graphic Novel. There are sneak previews of some of the art on the forums if you look around.
Cheers

08/11/08 12:00pm
Ok, a little update. Ive been gone all weekend helping my gf find an apartment and adjust to life in LA. Which most people would think "wow LA, must be great". When in reality, its really not. Its pretty much just another city, but this ones crammed to capacity with idiots that dont know how to drive. Nothing special about it. "But what about the celebrities", yeah, oooo, celebrities. You mean the people that get DUIs EVERY friggen weekend, or get busted for drugs and get a slap on the wrist for it and sent on their way. Yeah thats something to look up too. Losers. Anyways, Im just cranky because my computer decided it did not like one of its RAM chips and melted it. So now I have to go out and buy a new pair (theyre dual channeled linked RAM, they work better as twins). And on top of that I have a wicked cold and can barely think straight at work. Goooooood times. Well, keeses to the gf, hugs to everyone else.
(there no you all have my cold, mwuehahahahahaah, thats right, suffer with me =~.^=)
=^.^=
08/05/08 1:00am
175, 25 more to go until the release of the 2nd Graphic Novel. Can't believe it myself. Time moves quickly I guess. Seems like only yesturday that I was cobbling ogether the first draft of the first GN. Well here goes round two.
This time however I will have the graphic novel ready for purchasing by the time Page 200 rolls around. (or maybe a little early and let the buyers get a sneak peak)

BREAKING NEWS!!!!
Just had a nice Earthquake! 5.8, shook the whole building. It was pretty wild. Been through a couple of 4s, but theyre were nothing compared to this. I like the exponential scale they use. The difference between 4 and 5 is like the difference between 1 and 10. Gooooood times.
Not too much happening, just slowly getting back into the swing of things. Not much to report, kind of a boring life =~.^=

A little bit about movies. So I saw Mamma Mia over the weekend back to back with Batman. I have to say I have never enjoyed a movie as much as I enjoyed watching Mamma Mia. I litterally almost started singning along in the theater. And if you know anything about me you would say to yourself "Cat sing... lol, never happen." It was the most fun Ive ever had watching a movie. I kinda want to see the Brodway show now. As for the Dark Knight, what can I say, it was a masterpiece. It lived up to every little shred of hype that was pasted on it. I was sucked in from the get go. Very good movie. I highly recommend seeing these movies back to back. Preferably batman first and then Mamma Mia, a dark tragic story to a story that will have you singing along and dancingin the theater.
Cheers

07/01/08 9:00am
Ok, the computers fixed and Im WAY WAY WAY behind on site maintence, commissions, and such. So bear with me as i struggle to catch back up. Ill get there eventually but it will take a few weeks. My schedual is pretty shitty at the moment. No to much time to dedicate to the things I need to get done. But as usual Ill find a way. Until then, happy July.
=^.^=
06/27/08 4:00pm
Computers sorta fixed. Commissions are still on hold. This will be the last sunday comic. I hope you all enjoyed the bonus comics this month. I worked super hard on them and I hope it stood up to your expectations. We are nearing 170 pages, which means we are almost 3/4 of the way to the Second Graphic Novel. Volume 2 will contain pages 101-200, along with a bunch of fun extras just like the first. And this time, everything will lrun swiftly and smoothly, none of this 4 month crap. So shoot me an email, or catch me on the forum and tell me what kinda bonus material you would like to see in the next Volume. Cheers
=^.^=
06/24/08 4:00pm
Computers still broke. All of you waiting for a commission have patience. Between the computer breaking, sunday comics, and two BRs going by Im kinda swamped. They'll get done eventually.
=^.^=
06/20/08 11:00am

BR 22 is on the a;wige.;, wow that was a big firggen spider. Swear to God a spider the size of a quarter just ran across my keyboard and disappeared before I could kill it.... thenews will have to wait
=^.^=
06/09/08 11:00am
For all of those that missed it, I posted a new comic on sunday. Also BR21 is in its voting stage. If you have not voted hope on and do so. Alot of great entries. The bonus comics are going well, right on time and clippin right along. Hope you are enjoying them as much as I am doing them.
=^.^=
06/06/08 11:30pm
Its FRIDAY!!!!!!!!
BR21 is in its final days, drop on by and check it out.
Not too much news the bonus comics are going real well. Its busy work but no more then usual. Just a couple little sacrifices of time here and there and ta-daaaa a 3rd page. Its a wonder what you can do if you set your mind to it.
=^.^=
06/01/08 10:30am
IT HAS BEGUN!!!!!!! This is the first Sunday in June and there is a new comic up.
=^.^=
05/29/08 11:30pm
Alright heres the deal. For June I will be upadting 3 times a week for as long as I can until the end of June. The comic will still update Tue and Fri, but there will be an additional comic posted every SUNDAY. This way if I cannot get sundays up in time I will just post it on Tue. The comic will ALWAYS update Tue/Fri come hell or high water. So no matter what you will still be getting 2 comics a week if I happen to miss the extra sunday page. Not that Im going to miss a page. That would be lame. So do not forget to check back on Sundays in June. This event is only happening in June so enjoy it while it lasts. This is part experiment, part reward. An experiment to see what it will take to produce three pages a week and a reward to all the readers/fans/critters that enjoy the comic.
When the world says "no you cant", I say "you wanna bet" and prove it wrong.
Also Battle Royale #21 is running
=^.^=
05/26/08 10:00pm
So Ive been doin some thinkin. Ive been thinking, for the month of June Id like to make a special effort for the comic, ie, instead of updating twice a week in June, Id move to an update schedual of three times a week. Now this is just a thought for the time being. Im weighing my options right now. So in the mean time, if you would like to see the comic updated 3/week times in June instead of 2/week, send me an email with the subject line "3 Times". Or if your a forum critter give me a yell in the comments section. Ill let you know by the 31st what the final descision is.
And Battle Royale #21 is up and running
Cheers

A few expressed ideas that they wanted to put into webcomic format. To make things simple and hassel free I set up a site to host their various webcomics. I take pride in being able to host these very creative and wonderful comics. Enjoy.

Yikes April is already gone and its may, half a year almost slipped by without notice. Well all in all things are good. My car decided it did not like my bank account being so cushy (the whole wopping 6 cents that were in there was threating it) and broke. The fuel sending unit cracked off. Which is fun because not only is it really hard to find and expensive, Im now also out a tank of gas. And with gas prices what they are thats like buying a whole other car. Good times.
Other then that not to much to report. Same shit different day as it were.
=^.^=
04/24/08 11:30pm
I remembered what I wanted to say
THIS IS NOT A FURRY COMIC
they're stuffed animals =~.^=
*aims axe carefully, splits hairs*
if you dont get the irony the world is lost to you and you might as well jump into a cubicle for the rest of your life. Work with your head down and say "yes" to your boss no matter the cause. (for the record I have nothing against furrys)
In other news Battle Royale #19 is going very well, check it out, have a laugh.
=^.^=
04/22/08 12:00am
I was going to say something because I was angry about something but Ive forgotten what the something was that I was angry about and am happy now. This actually happens alot. My anger last somewhere around 2seconds before my mind has wandered on and begins thinking about more fun and productive things.

The Forum is being a bit dodgy this morning so if you cannot get on dont panic. I think Informe is doing one of their "hey lets not announce anything and redo the servers" days. It should be ironed out by this evening or at the latest tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvienece.
=^.^=
04/07/08 11:00pm
Not much to say. Been really busy lately running back and forth for this and that. Went to the Rennisance Festival in Irwindale CA this weekend and had a blast. Ill have a few pictures up later with a link. I LOVE all the costumes there and most of all, the stories. Each and every person dressed up has a unique story to tell and will gladly tell you it in character. Im not talkin just the workers, I mean everyone. Its so fun to see that many people having that good of time just being themselves.

Ok all you social butterflies. Im really late to the game of social bookmarking... really really late... but its up at the bottom of the site. There are links to Stumble, Del.icio.us, digg, and a few others. Go crazy, and Im also reviving the RSS feed, but if anyone knows how to get it to automate itself to update on Tuesdays and Fridays Id sure like the help. Updating it manually is a pain.
=^.^=
03/07/08 12:00am
BR 17 is underway and going well. Other then that its slow news again. The graphic novel is on its way. Thankyou for your patience therell be something special in it for all that have waited.
=^.^=
03/03/08 11:30pm
You may notice todays comic is "sideways" as it were Click Here to flip it so it is readable. I wanted to do the long panoramic shot and the portrait style I do regularily doesnt quite work for that.
The books are supposedly arriving at my place on the 6th, or so the tracking number informs me. Again thank you all for you patience.
=^.^=
02/28/08 10:30pm
The printer has shipped my comic. I should get it sometime next week, and then I will send the books out to those of you that ordered. Thank you thank you for your patience. I ordered a good deal of extra books so order away. Once I have stock the wait should be no more then 3-4 days to get a copy.
=^.^=
02/25/08 11:15pm
not to much happening on this end. Same shit different day I suppose. Ive been meaning to call my parents since Monday of last week, but I find myself prepetually working. Every time I look up its late (usually in the range of 11pm-1am) and they are two hours ahead, so its reall like 1am there when its 11pm here. Eventually Ill remember to call and not be such a bad son =~.^=
Battle Royale #16 is in its voting stage so if your registered in the forum drop by and vote. Some really great entries this time around.

02/22/08 11:00pm
Not much news, Im going to be busy all this weekend so Ill be pretty scarce. The comic keeps crawling slowly up the printing queue... slowly.
=^.^=
02/19/08 11:00pm
Okies, just a quick bit of news. I announced this in the forum earlier, and have decided to toss it onto the front page for the last few days of the contest. My girlfriend is a director going for her Masters in Film. She has produced a commercial for a contest for non-smoking. My (biased as it is) opinion is it is one of the best (if not the best (dont want to make the gf angry)). So what I (we, my gf and I) ask of you is to go vote for her commercial at Be a Reel Hero . Her commercial is titled
"Smoking Mom". Thanks.
Cheers
=^.^=
02/18/08 11:00pm
Sorry I havn't updated the news in a while. Comic always gets updated thanks to the auto updater, sadly News is still manual imput. *brings out hammer and chisel*
The Comic is ALMOST THERE. Thankyou thankyou for all of your patience.
Been quite busy lately helping my girlfriend, workin, scrambling to get commissions done, panicking as the comic is ssssslllloooowwwwllllyyyy printing, sketching the comics, attempting to sketch the next chocobo painting, attempting to sus out my Art or War concepts, organizing and tracking the latest Battle Royale contest, etc etc etc etc etc
Had a lovely Valentines day, I was extrememly surprise to find flowers (tulips, the crocases and lillys were put in there by me, they were leftovers from my creation) on my desk at work (from my gf). I got her a really pretty Teal spotted dress. And unknownst to her, while the flowers she got for me were being delivered to my office I was out creating my own flower arrangement to her. I went out and bought everything seperate, flowers, fabric, ribbon and vase. It was pretty fun.
=^.^=
02/11/08 10:30pm
*sigh* no news again Im afraid. The days are beginning to blur into one giant whole that I can barely keep track of anymore. Its beginning to seem like Im tring to grab an armfull of water.
On a lighter not the comic is in its final printing stages and with luck should be on its way to me by the end of the week.

02/04/08 11:00pm
Okies I finished my chocobo painting the other night and it is now hanging in my office at work. Theres actually ben quite a few requests for a red one. So since there is a pretty little pink chocobo in the game I shall whip her up next. I did realize one thing after hanging Blue up. I for got to paint her eyebrows in in the background pick and her lower beak is to big. Guess Ill have to fix that.
I have updated these pages :

=^.^=
01/29/08 9:00pm
Comics are aaalllllllmost printed. Thankyou to all that preordered for your patience. You can actually track the progress of the printing at
Ka-Blam Digital Printing, you can check the queue my order number is 4392. Im not sure how often the page is refreshed but its a way to see the progress. I ordered quite a few more then what was preordered so I would have some on hand for any who would like to order when they are finished printing.
Special shout out to two of my fav comics (I saw they had ads on my page the other day and was thrilled). One of the most charming and well painted comics I have ever seen Minus, I can honestly say there is not a page that I dont read over and over and over again enjoying the subtle humor and exquisit charm. Annnnnnnd the second... lol... one of my guiltiest pleasures... funny, characters with great personalities, and never ceases to make me laugh. Kimono's Townhouse lol, like I said, guilty pleasure.

01/24/08 10:00pm
Grumble grumble grumble... you ever have one of those weeks where everything goes wrong. From the major thing of missing an entire day of work to the smallest thing when all the lights in your room blow out at once... Im tired of everything stretched to the limit, Im tired of having to struggle with life, Im tired of living to the last cent every month, Im tired of being behind, Im sooooo tired.
But for all the bad theres parts of good. Thanks to all my friends for their support and thanks to my girlfriend for being there. And a giant thanks to my mom and dad for, well, everything.
=^.^=
01/21/08 9:30pm
The weeks seem to be getting longer, not sure how but it seems inevitable. Makin ends meet seem to be getting tougher and the little things that keep popping up seem to be multiplying. At least, thank god/budda/odin Ka-Blam printers are going quick and painless so far. Very friendly people over there and very effcient so far.
Suffering from a migrain at the moment so Ill keep this short so I can get some sleep. Ill try to put up some more new later.
=^.^=
01/17/08 10:30pm
End of a long week. Started another Chocobo painting, a prety little blue chocobo girl to go with my cute little yellow chocobo boy. What can I say, I like chocobos. Sure you could say its not manly, you could even go so far to say its sissy, but, damnit, I like chocobos. =~.^=

Ive updated the Archives with all of the past comics that went up over the holidays.
The Graphic Novel is nearly finished printing, it has taken much longer then expected and Im running extrememly behind schedual because of it. THe printers say it is near finishing and will send it out sometime this week. Heres hoping.
=^.^=
01/04/08 8:15am
Happy New Year, everything here is back up and running. I hope everyone had a great holiday.
Battle Royale #14 is up and running so be sure to pop by.
=^.^=
12/18/07 11:30pm
Okies this will probably be the last news update for a while. The Comic will keep updating through the holidays, so no worries.
The Graphic Novel is finished and has been sent for the printers for a proof copy. Once I get the proof back Ill open up a preorder. The whole thing came out to 142 pages. So thats first 100 pages of the Unstuffed, and 42 pages of bonus content. Part of the bonus content is a special Graphic Novel only 9 page comic. A handful of concept art never before seen, a few pinups (of the guys and ladies ;) ) and part of the script. Should be about 15-20 dollars when all is said and done.
=^.^=
12/14/07 10:30am
Thank you all for a wondeful birfday. I enjoyed everyones good wishes. The day turned out very well indeed. Almost to the point where its worth going up a year in age. ;)
In other news Battle Royale #13 is in its second week. Pop on by and enter we have alot of fun to say the least. To the Battle Royale #12 winners no I havent forgot about you, Ive finished sketching/coloring everything and will ship em out Monday, sorry for the delay, been super busy lately.
The comic WILL continue to update over Christmas break. Other comics take it off, not this one. We're the kinda comic that kicks down doors and takes the mission no one comes back from. ;) The comic will not stop, if it does, it means Im dead, call the Autorities.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!
=^.^=
12/11/07 1:00am
Holidays are almost here. Battle Royale 13 is up and running with a nice christmas theme. Finishing up the last few pages of the bonus comic for the Graphic Novel. So far everything is on schedual to be finished by the end of the week. Heres hopin.
I have to stop writing news at night, lol. My brains always on the short end of tired. One last thing, Gratz to Sharkbyte, hope everything goes well for you babe.
=^.^=
12/07/07 1:30am
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, can a human actually turn into a walking zombie, lol. We shall see. 80% of the way finished with the Graphic novel, been spending a few late nights smashing it together.
I had some other news but my brain is toast and Im coming up blank at the moment. Ill see what I cant scrape together later.
=^.^=
12/03/07 7:30pm
100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has begun!! 100 pages. Wow, and sooooo many more to go. I am composing and polishing up the rest of the book this week and hope to have it off to the printers by the end of the week. All thats left is the 8 page special story that needs to be sketched. The graphic novel will include :
- Pages 1-100
- A Special 8 page comic that will only appear in the Graphic Novel
- The script up to comic page 100
- A few pages of old Concept Art that has never been posted before
- A bit of commentary
- A couple of original sketches (colored and black and white)
It should be about 15$ (US) shipping depends on where you live. Theyre not for sale just yet, thats just a guesstimate.
100 strong, and many more to go.
=^.^=
11/30/07 12:00am
Todays comic is suggestive in nature. Fair warning.
Woof, I really really need sleep. Been tossin and turning for the last couple days and have got no sleep at all. Nearly a walking zombie. Not to mention Real life attempting to intrude upon my time. Caught a cold, draggin on, trying valiantly to get the final proof done for the graphic novel. Lets see how thin I can stretch myself before the waveform collapses. Its kind of funny how the people online care more about the ins and outs of my life the people in my life around me. Moot. Lol. Or it could all be the babbling of a tired mind. Anyways... 30... December comes saturday. Brace yourselves for the year is almost through.
=^.^=
11/26/07 6:30pm
Todays comic is suggestive in nature. Fair warning.
News... hope everyones holiday went well. Back to work though until the next holiday in a few weeks lol.
Page 98, two to go!! I will be combining all 100 pages in a TradePaperBack/GraphicNovel once they are out. It will be the first 100 pages of this comic, a special 8 page comic for the graphic novel only, 20 or so pages of concept art and such that hasnt been shown before, the script up to this point and what ever else I can think to toss in. Either way it should be about 15$ a copy. I will let you know when things solidify. Hopefully I can get them made before Christmas.
Also here is a sneak peek at a panel from page 100, its me inking and coloring it, (sped up at about 300%) Clcik Me for Sneak Peekage .
And special thanks to all the critters who help me with spell checking the site, you guys/gals rock my socks.

=^.^=
11/19/07 7:00pm
Hello hello. Almost thanksgiving folks, well for the folks in america, everywhere else its know as "Yay we got rid of the rif-raf" day (I kids). Eat lots. And when I say eat lots, I mean so when your finished you have to have others move you but cant find anyone else because everyones in the same condition as you.
Battle Royale #12 is up and running. By popular demand this Battle Royale will be different from all others. This one, instead of art, is writing. See the rules but, write your hearts out.
=^.^=
11/16/07 12:30am
Not to much to report, Friday finally, almost the weekend and then Ill see if I cant catch up on some badly needed site maintenance.
=^.^=
11/14/07 1:45am
Finished my painting. Its Acrylic on a 22x28 canvas. Of what you ask? Lol, one of my favorite game titles and a guilty pleasure. Heres the link to the pics, in the forum, scroll about halfway down the page and youll find them.
=^.^=
11/12/07 7:30pm
First off a shout out to a special someone thats having a really rough day. No worries, just got to take it a day at a time and one step in front of the other. Dont let the overwhelming odds get you down. Look up and notice all the people around you trying their very best to help you. Dont ignore them, accept them.
Know what I love, painting. Theres just something envigorating about it, lol. Though I wish I had an Easel. I made one last night out of an old stool, a plaque, a left over board from an ikea desk, and lots of duct tape. Ill post a pic later in the forum. So far its held up pretty good. Though kitty seems to think he should be able to play on it while Im painting, not to mention jump into my lap when I have my paint palette setting there... =>.<=
=^.^=
11/09/07 1:00am
Its almost friday and crunch time is allllmost over. *Deeeep Breath* Im here there and everywhere and spread a bit to thin lately.

=^.^=
11/05/07 7:30pm
Now race is on and here comes pride in the back stretch, heartache going to the inside,
Novemeber is off to a start running like a mad man. Years almost up, 100 pages is nearing with every passing of a week. I still need to plan the layout and such but rest assured the TB should be available by January... I hope, lol.
Battle Royale 11 is in its second week and we already have a few humorous entries.

11/04/07 1:00pm
HAPPY BELATED HALLOWEEN!!! lol, I finally got around to drawing a halloween pic (colored version yet to come). Here it is!
=^.^=
11/01/07 10:30pm
November... curses...
Ive been really sick the last two days (not that stopped me from dragging my fevered corpse to work) and have kind missed a few little things here and there. One being the Halloween special which is on its way I promise. Once I can find an available slot of time to fit it in. lol =>.<=
So I was wandering through target on Halloween looking for Extra Extra strength NyQuil, something to get me through the night so I didnt completely ruin Sharkbytes night (as we were going out for dinner after work) and hoping to score a pair of orange cat ears from the haloween section. Upon reaching the halloween section I find the taget employees just finishing putting up the next holiday. No not Thanksgiving, apparently thats not a holiday anymore. They went straight for the throat and vomited Christmas all over the place. Distraught I enquired to a nearby Target employee where the rest of the halloween stuff had migrated to. After a look of sheer confusion at my mundane question the said employee mumbled something about managers and hobbled off. At which point I gave up on the cat ears, and the NyQuil as they seemed to be out of namebrand and generic (yay). Luckily SharkByte had some at her house. KO'd me after dinner and she ended up taking care of me the rest of the night.What a crappy Halloween date I am. lol =>.<=
=^.^=
10/31/07 11:05pm
HAPPY HALLOWEEN Everyone!! Ill have a special Halloween pic up soon, its going to be a little late seeing as life and work have taken over and twisted my arm this way and that. But it will be there eventually. Cheers
=^.^=
10/30/07 11:05pm
HALLOWEEN is right around the corner. Everyone have their costumes ready? There is a Plush and Blood costume contest up and running. See the link for detail on how to enter.
Battle Royale #11 is also up and running. Im super excited about both contest as this is one of my favorite holidays. Its a holiday where everyone drops their fear and wants of who they pretend to be everyday, and have fun dressing up in wild outrageous costumes. You get to see personalities and imagination you never knew existed in some, and a all out fun time in others.
There should be a Halloween Special up as well, sooner or later here. Work has me in crunch mode so its tough to find a bit of time inbetween to organize stuff for myself.
In lighter, and way more awesome news, Beta Pwned did a review on Plush and Blood : The Unstuffed. IT ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF!!! I was wearing a grin the enitre day after seeing it. You guys and gals over at Beta Pwned ROCK!!! *throws up the horns for Beta Pwned*
=^.^=
10/25/07 11:30pm
Workin hard and playin harder peppering it with a bit of time with special someones and drawing comics. Time tIme tiMe timE. Not enough of it in the long run and surely to little in the short.
Halloween is right around the corner. In honor of the even I will be hosting a seperate contest from the regular Battle Royales. This Special Halloween contest is, you guessed it, a dress up contest. To join in the fun all you have to do is dress up and take a picture of yourself and post it in the contest thread. The Contest starts Monday (29th) of next week and runs to Sunday 11:59pm (Nov 4th). The prize is a full color comission of your choice. You name it and Ill draw it up and ship it out to you.
On that note Battle Royale #11 is also starting next week, so get you mediums ready and get ready to artify an idea.
Todays comic is a special one and I have made 2 wallpapers because I really enjoyed how the background came out. Here they are for your wallpapery enjoyness.

10/22/07 10:30pm
Work has me by the shorts and is running me in circles. So Im working a lot of OT and I apologize for being scarce. Life has a way of sneaking up on you and crackin you upside the head with a 2x4.
In other news, most of southren california is on fire now. Quite litterally, Orange county, San Diego and a few others are buring out of control. The smoke rises in a cloud that blots out the sun casting a sickly orange light onto everything. Looks like the world is about to end. I only have one thing to say about the world ending, there had better be zombies. If the world ends and there are no zombies Im going to be pissed.
=^.^=
10/18/07 9:45pm
One day left to get in your Battle Royale 10 entries, and let me just say the entries thus so far never cease to amaze me. There is a lot of passion and talent that goes into those entries. I thank you for that.
In otherwords news has me balls to the walls busy so Im there 24/7 lol. So please excuse me if I seem a tad distant or absent. The Comic however will never stop. It is here to stay so no worries, like I said before I would have to be dead to miss it. In fact if I miss it check the news, Im sure I took down as many ninjas as they could throw at me before sucummbing to a mountain of bodies.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahah
Mahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You ever have an ephiphany that has changed your outlook on life so profound and drastic, that all it can leave you doing is laughing. Laughing because, even though it was a deep earth moving epiphany it was so, so, so, so simple that you often overlooked it, it made you feel sooooo good. I got hit with one late saturday night. By sunday night I was still laughing, monday morning, laughing, tonight still laughing. Taking a bunch of pics tonight and will have them forum bound either late late tonight or sometime tomorrow.
Busy busy busy was the bee

Note to self, do not try to take a nap Fridays at 8pm. Lol, I was going to write this news friday as I forgot to write it thursday for the comic, but I was a little tired from the week and work that I decided to take a nap until 10pm and then do some work. Wellll I went to sleep at 8pm and woke up at 9am =>.<= whoops, lol.
In other news Battle Royale 10 is up and moving along at a great pace. Alot of really awesome entries so far. Alot of talented people out there that is for sure.

=^.^=
10/09/07 1:00am
Damn, dont you just hate when you forget something. I had something that I wanted to say but now I have forgotten it. Its right there in the back of my mind but Im drawin blanks. Oh well.
In other new Plush and Bloods Birthday was on the 6th. Yes I know I completely forgot to announce it on the main page. Though it got celebrated in the forum. The critters are a great lot, very keen memories and kind peoples. Plush and Blood is officially one year old. Through ups and downs, fights and favors, it has stayed afloat no matter how many times others have tried to sink it. Thank you to everyone out there for reading. Without the fans I would be just another fly on the wall. And a special thanks to the forum critters and peoples. You guys and gals rock more then words alone can say. Thankyou to everyone there, they are almost like a second family to me.
=^.^=
10/05/07 12:01am
Team Fortress 2... I have played it and deemed it... awesome! Lol the art direction and play control is just too much fun, I cant wait till it officially comes out on the 10th. I have created a Plush and Blood group on steam so if anyone wants to join shoot me an email and we'll make a Plush and Blood kill squad. For all those out there that do not know Team Fortress 2, let me direct you to a few vids, hehehehehe, to convert you.
The Soldier
The Heavy
The Engineer
"I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet" ROFL
The overall design of the game takes me back to the good 'ole days of Full Throttle, Monkey Island, and the old school games that we never stopped playing. Can't wait.

=^.^=
9/30/07 10:30pm
OMG!!!!!!! The Forum critters found this and now Im completely obsessed. As you all know I am a giant sucker for charming... and this is got all my attention lol. I would give SamBakZa alllllllll the money in the world if I were able. The quality of the animation and pure timing makes them masterpieces in their own right.
their site in english http://www.sambakza.net/
Go there and pay tribute!!!!! Because SamBakZa are my Heros!!!!!!!
=^.^=
09/27/07 10:30pm
Firday is among us and the weeked is almost here, I hope you all had a good week. Im slowly putting everything back together here so have patience, Im almost back entirly. Id say life is about70% back to what it used to be. I cant say normal because, hell, Ive never been normal. I draw stuffed animals killing eachother for gods sake. Im probably a psych thesis paper waiting to happen. But anyways, still have a desk with no legs, we'll see how that treats me over the weekend when I attempt to color comics. lol
=^.^=
09/26/07 7:43pm
FINALLY some semblance of internet. Even if it is a little flakey and my desk has no legs. So Im updating the archive and such as fast as possible. Here there and everywhere.
All moved into the new place and now theres just unpacking to do. *groan* why do I have so much crap.
=^.^=
09/18/07 12:01am
First piece of news... I will be without internet at home until the 25th. Kinda steamed about it but theres no use getting mad at whats already been done. So if you need to get in touch with me, those of you that have my cell can use it, or you can feel free to contact me while I am at work via email, PM, and IM. Thursdays RP will still be a go, Ill just run it from work instead of home. The Comic will continue to update on time, but the archive and previews may not. The news will keep coming though I am reduced to writing this in notepad in basic html script. Yay for my programing knowlege. Im not gone Im just missing half my legs.
Second piece of news, Battle Royale #9 is up and running, no pic of the games yet, because as mentioned above I have no internet which means I cannot upload a picture unless I scan it, save it, transfer it, take it to work, copy it over and upload it.
A Tireder Orange Cat out, Cheers
=^.^=
09/13/07 11:00pm
Battle Royale #8 was a blast, our second tie! Gratz to your participants, you guys did an awesome job, all of you.
Friday and the weekend is here again. Lets hope for a little breather here and there to make like a little more apeasing for everyone. Relax, sit back and take a load off. No worries.
=^.^=
09/11/07 11:00pm
No news is good news I guess, sitting here thinking of what to write I got nothing. Watchin the Swat Kats, coloring a personal piece of art, throwing Zucchini (my cat) off my desk every 5 min, organizing mail and payin bills. Sooo same shit different day I guess.
Still lookin for a new apartment so busy busy. We'll see what happens.
This that and the other.
=^.^=
09/09/07 12:30am
Battle Royale #8 has come to a close and I must say there were some damned good entries. Pop by and take a look and if your registered on the forum cast a vote for your fave.
=^.^=
09/07/07 2:30am
News tomorrow... or today... or tonight even, to tired to write right now.
=^.^=
09/03/07 9:00pm
September... wtf thats like 4 months from the end of the year. Where has it all gone.
Battle Royale #8 is in its second week and going strong. Lovin the entries so far. I have to say it again we have a lot of talented critters on the forum.
OH!! on that note I got my first piece of hate mail the other day *dance*. You know no matter how many followers or praise you get your never truely popular until you get your first piece of hate mail. It was about the forum and some other bollox and was poorly documented and ignorant. I had a good laugh at it.
In lighter news tomorrow I start my new job as a Mocap animation rigger/cleanup. Busy work but at least its a foot in the door.
A special thanks to a very good friend that made my weekend a blast, and unforgettable. You know who you are. Thank you a million times over.
=^.^=
08/31/07 10:30pm
Battle Royale #8 is at the end of its first week and we already have a few really good entries.
Not too much more to report. Juggling too many chainsaws as usual. Little kitty is a pain in the ass and all too cute in the same go. Persona 3 is really fun, just dont try to date more then 3 girls at a time in game... it kinda get you in trouble... (alot like real life go figure =~.^=).
=^.^=
08/28/07 12:01am
Well Battle Royale #8 is off and running. Pop by to see the details.
In other news my roomates, while driving down the freeway found a little kitten trying to run up the on ramp. So bringing it home they give it a bath (as it was a very dirty little kitty), only to find out it is infested with fleas. So much so that its fur moves on its own. Bleh. So the next day we take it to the vet to get it dewormed and defleaed. He tosses a few drops of Front Line on him tosses us a free thing of kitty food and we are good to go. So little kitty spends a day itching as all the fleas die. Ill tell you what, that Front Line is a miracle worker, two drops on the back of kittys neck and it wiped them all out. After kitty had been defleaed I gave him another bath with flea shampoo (which he was not to thrilled about). And then dusted all the carpets for fleas and vaccumed. So far so good. No fleas anywhere yet. Though kitty believes it is his job to sit on any keyboard in the house that he hears typing. Not to mention he like to "help" draw. Swear that cat can hear a pencil scratch from across the apartment. He'll be gone, Ill draw a line and hes sitting beside me saying "hey whatcha doing, can I help, look my butt is awesome on your paper.". Anyways we have no idea if we're going to keep the little tyke. This is his trial week for sure.
=^.^=
08/24/07 12:01am
Friday, wonderful peoples. Take your shoes off stand in the grass/sand and slose your eyes for a moment, because in two days... its Monday and you have to drag your ass back to work =~.^=
If you have a chance pick up the Persona 3 OST, its pretty good as far as video game soundtracks go.
A good friend is worth alot in life I can tell you that for sure. Thanks for being there, you know who you are.
=^.^=
08/21/07 11:00pm
Battle Royale #7 is in its final stages. It was a blast, thanks for all who entered. Thanks to FurryMink for helping supply the idea. A lot of impressive talent went into these pieces, creativity at its best. Winner will be announced tomorrow when the vote has ended.
Life as usual otherwise, though I did take Satureday off and had a good time playing video games and talking to a good friend. Nice to take a break everyonce in a while. Ill have to schedual another one for next year =~.^=
August is nearly over... where the hell did this year go. I mean it was woosh, zing, gone. Not even a "Hi how are ya" or a stop for a cup of tea. Years should not be allowed to fly by this quickly. They should have some sort of breaking system to make them slow down. Curses, Im almost 25, yet another year on my quarter life crisis (thats right Im living to be 100... maybe even more... =>.>=)
Anyways moving the end of September, Comic will NOT stop, news posts however might get a little shaky but oh well, who reads this dribble anyways. Cheers
=^.^=
08/19/07 4:00pm
VOTE!! Battle Royale #7
=^.^=
08/17/07 12:30am
Persona 3, if you havent already at least tried it, I recommend it. Different is to small a word, lol.
ONE day left for Battle Royale #7 and let me just say that the entries so far kick holy ass! Lol creative is to small a word, these entries are just too much fun.
=^.^=
08/14/07 8:30pm
Pretty short news his time 'round, just a few quick things. Battle Royale #7 is filled with very humorous entries this time round. The Theme was "What would Plush and Blood characters be as food". Lol, and there are some very creative ideas indeed. Last week to get your entries in.
=^.^=
08/10/07 11:30pm
Friday and it is a week into Battle Royale #7. Lol we've had a very creative entry so far, check it out.
In other news, apparently we had an Earthquake here that everyone felt... except me... and I was awake when it happened. Oh well. I mean at least a book could have fallen off my shelf or something.
Im open for Commissions as well now, contact me via email or forum to request a quote.
=^.^=
08/07/07 10:30pm
Wellllllll after finding out that I had a flat tire this morning I used my portable air compressor to pump it back up and drive my car to work. Everyone there tells me to take it to the shop. I say,"Why?". They are like, "So it can be fixed". Im like "Its just a friggen screw, I can fix that." They cant seem to understand that. So I go out at lunch jack my car up, take the tire off, rip the screw out with my trusty leatherman, prime the puncture, use my puncture repair tools to mend it, fill it with a can of fixall, grease the front end bushing of my car and thow it back on in less then 15 minutes. Then came the hard part... getting the damned hubcap back on. It took me nearly as long to just put the hubcap on as doing the entire job. I swear they make those things impossible to put on. So after a flat tire, busted knuckles, burning myself on hot metal thats been in the sun all day, getting dirt and grease up to my elbows (my mom would kill me if she knew I was working on my car in work clothes), and spending time working on my car, I find that there is no greater joy in life then working on my car. Its truly good times.
In other news, Battle Royale #7 is up!! It should be a delicious time.
=^.^=

300 is out on DVD today!! Sah-weet! You know I shouldnt find so much pleasure in watching a bunch of half naked, oiled, sculpted muscle, manly men run around killing eachother... but I do.
Also if you get the chance I would go see Mr. Brooks, with Kevin Costner, William Hurt, and Dane Cook. It is actually a really good thriller.

Hello hello, the new contest is up and running, stop by the forum to check it out. Also there is a new Voting incentive up, a preview to page 59 straight off the sketch pad. No other real news. Im kinda boring that way. Trying to wrangle up a network of webcomics to put together a little community. If your interested shoot me an email. I want this thing to be be big.
Note: If you find yourself suddenly banned from the forums you probably did nothing wrong, a few waves of attacking bots have been hitting lately (luckily none of which got in) and Ive been banning IP adresses with more then 6 links in the forum. Shoot me an email if I accidentally ban you. Cheers

6/22/07 10:30pm
FRIDAY!!!!!! -dives for dryland-
Battle Royale #5 is right up around the corner my friends. Get those fingers ready for some drawin action. Speaking of Battle Royales the Gallery has the entires to BR #4 posted now. Thankyou all very much for participating, they blew me away.
This Comic (53) is one of my faves. Anetteas one of my favorite characters to draw. She always looks so helpless all the time which makes it a nice contrast to Fox's confidence and Brown's anger. I really enjoy how her wallpaper turned out. It is one of my faves beside one that is yet to be revealed.

Tuesday my firends. News for today, the forum may or may not be down. It was at the time I was posting this, so it may be up by the time you read it at a sensible hour. The hosts claim to be upgrading it (finally) for me. They did not however warn me that they were doing so and just ripped it off the internets. So bear with me for a little longer. When its back up there is a surprise waiting for you. Mahahaha, it is something a few of you have all been waiting for. Argleblather blames me for causing her to get distracted for an entire night because of it. Thats how awesome it is.
In other news HAPPY BIRFDAY to someone. You know who you are. You probably dont come to the site but happy birthday anyways.
Also a shout out to one of my fave comics Unicorn Warrior, by the ever talented Elle Clawley. -waves-
Until then everyone, Cheers

Battle Royale #4 has ended and VOTING has begun. Come on in and vote for your favorite.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! A shout out to the most awesome dad in the entire world, me pa. -waves- Hope you take at least half the day off dad, put Ty to work or something. All you other dads out there, take the day off this days for you. Hard workers, mentors, heros, and teachers of life. You deserve a break every once in a while. Why not today. Hope everyone has fun!!

=^.^=
6/15/07 12:01am
Second to last day to get your entries in for Battle Royale #4. We have quite a few really solid entries so far and I am damn proud of them. If your wandering around the Forum all lost and confused, start with the Contest Thread, then the Art thread, then The Library thread then brave the waters of our Malestrome of General Chit and Chat.
Its good times, its like a modern day version of Cheers... with more zombies... and mad scientists... and overly energetic critters with a penchent for fire... and more surgical malpractice... and no proper Norm... and no Carla... and a ton of Cliff Clavens. Its good times here. A place where everyone knows your name... and shouts it running around in circles... to the beat of "Ballroom Blitz".
And a shout out to the Ladies over at Geekblather. -waves- Theyre fun peoples. More people should be as fun as them and not so self absorbed.
=^.^=
06/12/07 4:00pm

06/08/07 11:00pm
First off Id like to say HI! to me ma and pa. I dont think parents get told enough how much their kids appreciate them. I was chattin in the Forum the other day about my family and I realized, I really miss them. I miss sitting on the deck chillin with my dad shooting .22's, I miss sitting in the kitchen talking to my mom, I miss the adventures my brother and sister and I used to have and the stories we used to tell. So I justed wanted to say HI. -waves-
Now onto business. Battle Royale #4 is up and running and boy do we have some killer entries already in. Come on down to the forum, its like Cheers, only its run by an Orange cat, and is home to over energetic critters and flowers and forum goers =-.^= We dont have a Norm yet, but we do have a lot of Cliff Clavens, lol. But come on down, share a laugh, draw some art and have a good time.

05/25/07 12:01am
Good Morning!!! Hows life people? Its Friday (thank God/Budda/Odin/The pink elephat in your closet/who ever) the weekend cometh. On that note, that means there is only one day left to get your entries in. I must say that I am highly impressed with the ones already entered. This is going to be one heck of a Battle Royale.
Odin Sphere is out and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good time playing a game. I worked on it while I was employed at Atlus (my names in the credits yay!) and I must say I enjoyed the hell out of it. I may or may not be giving a copy away in the next Battle Royale... only time can tell.
Been having some mysql database hiccups in the forum lately, have patience, Im ironing it out as we speak.
=^.^=
05/23/07 10:30pm
Alright I think Im back on track here. The Gallery had a HUGE change to it. I added a ton of stuff to feast your eyes on. I realized that I was posting most of it in the forums but not everyone visits the forum so I drug it all to my gallery as well. Yay. Also the Archives page has been updated.
We are half way through the second week of Battle Royale #3 and have a bunch of great entries so far. Its open until this Saturday so those of you still out there lookin to get in on it you still have time.

News...news...news... hmmmmm *looking around room* Nut bunnies, I really have nothing to report. I guess I could rant about relationships, or gas prices but... Im over my last relationship and I always calculate my gasoline bill at 5 dollars a gallon (keeps me ahead of the oil game). Hmmmm... I could rant about the dating scene or politics... but then Id have to give a rats pa-toot about either. Actually I cant really rant because Im in a really good mood, and am as far from drepressed as they come.
Oh, one thing to report, I did a huge 36"x24" acrylic painting of Fox, it turned out pretty awesome, I think Im either going to hang it over my bed or in my office at work. Id take a pic of it but I lost my digital camera. =!.!=
Ah and one more thing, I forgot to post it on the 13th because Im an idiot but Happy Moms Day!! (and yes I called me ma on moms day, I didnt forget). And Battle Royal#3 is up and running, jump into the forums to enter. Cheers
=^.^=
05/13/07 1:30pm
Battle Royale #3 it here!! Enter to win free video games.
=^.^=
05/11/07 12:01am
Warning!!! From here on out the comic will progressivly get darker (mood/atmosphere) and far more graphic. Just a heads up for those of weak demeanors.
In other news Battle Royale #3 will start on Sunday the 13. So get your tools warmed up and ready to rock. This time it will go on for two weeks to give people a little more of a chance to whip something up.
There is also a new pic up for the voting incentive. Click on the "Vote" button next to the preview and follow the directions to see it. Sorry it took me so long to change, Ive been knee deep in the dead lately.
I dont have much to rant and rave about so I guess Ill leave you with that.
Cheers,

05/07/07 11:30pm
Man I never realized how much I missed table top/pen and paper gaming until stubled upon a bunch of back copies of Knights of the Dinner table. Lol, nerd out back in the day. I remember this one time we went from Friday at 1PM after class (college) until sometime saturday night. Shoot it could have even been Sunday morning for all I know. Woof we must have went through something like tweleve cases of pop and at least six pizzas. Lol, I remember we had absent mindedly built this giant tower of pop cans in the corner of Chris' dorm room. I also remember that notorious pop tower still being there a week later when the crew reconveined. Lol, that was good times. Sigh, sometimes I can be such a nerd.
=^.^=
05/06/07 4:30pm
New Wallpaper up in the Wallpaper section!! There is also a new resolution for all the wallpapers up, 1024x768. Enjoy!!

Happy Birfday to me Pa!! We celebrated his brifday last weekend with a huge party that a whole ton of people came to. Needless to say we had a friggen blast. Stories and tales from the olden days being told this way and that, I was in overload. I also learned that my brother has much better coordination drunk playing beer pong then I do. =@.@= Lets just say that he wiped the floor with me, quite litterally... Special shout out to relatives that made it. You guys rock. Especially two of my most favorite aunts that I dont get to see very often. You know who you are. =-.^=
On a Contest note, you have till saturday to get your entries in to win a free video game. Get over to the forum and enter!!
Other then that lifes pretty boring on my end. Do have to say I got a new job, going from Atlus USA back to Obsidian. Its good times either place. Hopefull I finally get put in the friggen art department soon. That would be the ticket.
=^.^=
05/01/07 12:01am
Battle Royale!!! Contest #2 is under way and ready to go. Get your asses over to the forum and enter for free video games. In other news, I have no idea what I did to piss off god/gods/budda/zeus but wow did he/they do a number on me over the weekend. To say it was a series of unfortunate events is an understatment in the least. Im fairly sure he/they've been setting me up since early thursday. All the little coincidences all lining up like bullets in a magazine ready to mow me down. I wouldnt mind so much, as I do enjoy a good bit of irnoy every now and then, but they kick so hard right in the wallet. Oh well, I guess its just my lot in life to suffer the wrath of my own absent mind. At least my dads birthday party was freakin awesome. I never realized how much I missed family until I had not seen them for some time. Needless to say every second with them was awesome.
=^.^=
04/26/07 8:00pm
Helllllooooo!!!! End of April here already and all I have to say is, what its almost MAY already!! Posting the preview early today just as a teaser, Firdays comic will be up and ready tomorrow morning right on time. Got some business I have to attend to thats going to take me all night so Im going to test out this new auto updater thinger. Fingers crossed and lets hope it workds. If not itll be posted early tomorrow morning instead of my usual 12:01 madness. Just remember when lifes got you on the ropes keep your guard up, just dont forget, life doesnt fight fair so why should you.
In other news I entered another art contest, this one, draw the most awesome comic of all time in your own style. Here is my entry. And if you dont know what the most awesome comic of all time is shame on you. Heres the entry thread for all those curious. Just tell 'em TOC sent ya.
=^.^=
04/24/07 12:01am
Congratualtions to Fesworks for winning Battle Royale Contest #1. You can find his webcomic here. In other news you can check out this fan art I did for Planet Karen draw off contest. I had a blast, but thats mostly cause I had an excuse to draw Doctor Who related things. Im a total nutter when it comes to the Doctor.
If anyone knows of any animation/modeling/rigging jobs or freelance gigs gimme a yell (my specialty is rigging and modeling). Lookin for a bit of work here and there. Anywho, jammed another Easter Egg somewhere on the site. Happy hunting, thats 3 out there to find. Not going to tell you what they are, but you'll know when you find them. They are marked. Oi!! and dont go shootin yer mouth of about their locations neither. Keep em a secret.

Hello my friends. This is the Last Day to submit your entries to the free Video Game Giveaway contest. Contest will end and thread will be locked at 11:59pm PST tonight. Have fun!!
=^.^=
04/20/07 12:01am
Good evening. The Contest is up and running!! For all those just joining us, I am running a simple art contest for the participants to win a free video game. Details Here.
OH MY GOD, check this out LINK. Im pretty sure if I had the money I would be bidding my brains out the last 30 seconds of that auction. My all time most favorite actor in the entire world. Drool, Id probably get there and go into shock and just sit there the entire lunch with a stupid open mouthed grin. Lol. Sure Im a ruggedly handsom, manly man straight guy, but for Harrison Ford Im nothing but an over excited bumbling school girl hopped up on one to many starbucks double espresso's.
In other news found a copy of Battle Royale at Barns and Noble. Which I dont even have to say, bought immediatly. A huge fan of the movie and manga, I cannot wait to read it. But its about fourth on my back log of books that need to be read (Day Watch, Snow Crash, The Cyberiad, are up before it), which itself is on a back log of things that need to be read (i.e. comics, graphic novels, books, etc...) which itself is on a back log of things I would like to do but have utterly no time for (write, play games, read, sleep, etc...). If anyone has more good book recommendations gimme a yell. Im always lookin for something interesting/entertaining to read.
Well this cat is off to dreamland, night.
P.S. Free Video Games, you know you cant resist!!
=^.^=
04/17/07 8:30pm
Hello my friends, Ive added a new fun and exciting aspect to the site. A contest to compete to win free Video Games. Yay!! See the Forum for details.
=^.^=
04/17/07 12:01am
So Day Watch pretty much has me riveted to my seat while reading it. I have to restrain myself to an hour or two at the most or I would never get any work done at all. The movie... woah... put it this way, I bought a version from Russia with NO english subtitles and have watched it six times. Blew me away.
On a side note, anyone know of any good 16th-17th century movies set in France or Paris? Preferably around the French Revolution 1770-1800 area. Been lookin for a few well directed period films. Though I will settle for B movie awesomeness/awfulness. All I can find is mostly Victorian England films, which are awesome, but that doesnt help me understand the French during that time.
=^.^=
04/16/07 2:00am
Hellllllooo Monday people. Sitting here listening to m.c.A.T's Bomb the Head (Tenjho Tenge theme song) and finishing up a piece of Fan Art for my friends over at Frederick the Great. Those guys never cease to pull a chuckle from me. I acctually drew the thumnails on the back of my paycheck envelope at work. Sudden inspiration always strikes when you are without proper drawing materials. I had a blast drawing the full sized and coloring it. I get a kick out of the characters in the series. Enjoy. Hope everyones Monday is going well.
=^.^=
04/13/07 1:00am
Dun Dun Daaaaaa Friday the 13th. Unlucky for some, extra lucky for me. Anyways, got distracted and am just posting this. For got to do it at midnight o'1 because I was goofin off in Maya sprucin' up the Demo Reel with four new models. Its good times, might even persuade myself to post a couple sneak peeks in an easter egg on here. Talk about balls to the wall the entire week, it has been back to back busy. Every minute is spent doing something to further my meager pathetic life. To much to do, to much to do, running in circles. Brings me back to This. Eventually I will catch my tail but until then Im going to work for another hour then call it quits for the night. So I should jump back into the fray here. Oh and there's a new Cast page up if you have not seen it already. Our poor little Anettea. Anywho, I something else to tell everyone but I am sitting here wracking my brain and cant remember what it is. Oh well, night my friends.
=^.^=
04/10/07 12:01am
Hello hello, hope everyones Easter went well. Its all one can do to not eat enough candy to make ones teeth fall out. Picked up the new book by Sergei Lukyanenko Day Watch. So far Im lovin it. Its the second in his Watch trilogy the first being Night Watch, which I must say kicked holy ass, and the last being Dusk Watch. There is a movie off the first book, but dont judge a book by the movie. They have very little in common. The book far out preforms the movie. Not that Im bashin it, I liked the movie as well hell I own both the Russian copy and the american copy which do differ enough to make em different). I have to hand it to the director, he managed to cram the three complete stories in Night Watch into one fair movie. Even though it didnt really follow the book it kept in spirit if anything else. As did the Day Watch movie (which I also own, I have a region free DVD player so I just buy em straight from Russia instead of waiting forever for em to come out here) Beautiful effects, makes me sad to see hollywood so caught up in itself that its missing phenomanal foriegn movies. Anywho, if you see either book pick it up, you wont be sorry. Trust me, I may be a cat but Im a well read cat. These paws have turned many a page. Hope everyones week is going well. Night.
=^.^=
04/07/07 6:00pm
HAPPY EASTER!!!!!! yeah I know Im early but I could not wait to post my Easter comic. Lol. Click on either link to view it or you can see it in the Gallery.

Have a HAPPY EASTER everyone. Relax, eat tons of sweets and live life.

04/05/07 9:00pm
Awesome news people! Got my first piece of fan art to day from my buddy The Count over at Frederick The Great : A Most Lamentable Comedy. You can check out the Fan art by clicking here or visit my Gallery . Lovin it. Comic should be up early tomorrow, as in around 12:01am since this Tired Orange Cat never sleeps. Not to much happenin on my end. Itunes decided it didnt like the music on my Ipod and wiped it for me. I thought "how nice, thats just what I wanted".
So yesturday (thats Wedensday) I walk out of my apartment to find my car in a pool of green liquid. "Hmm" I ponder to myself, "I do hope that is the person next to me leaking Anti-freeze." Nope, the Blue Fox got her lower radiator hose stuck in the front suspension and piched a hole in it. So dumping a gallon of radiator fluid into my car I drove it up to my auto repair shop. So Im sitting in their office chillin, bullshittin with the master mechanic we'll call, the Thin Bear. So me and the Thin Bear, whom I occasionally play poker with, are waitin for the part to show up. When it does finally show, Im thinkin to myself, sweet this'll be fixed up and Ill get to work on time. But!! God says, Muewhahaha, NO. Guy brought the wrong hose. So Im like "No worries" and just call work tell em Ill be a little late. Half hour later Im sittin there chillin talkin to Thin Bears wife, whom we'll call Lady Bear. Lady Bear loves me, mostly cause when I talk alot about something I like I get very enthusiastic and excited which get everyone else enthusiastic and excited. So anyways, second parts guy shows up. Got a different hose. But this one is.... to short. Its around 9:30 at this point, most people would be panicing and yelling their heads off, but if you know me at all you know I never panic. Im as calm as a sleeping lamb 100% of the time, (my previous GF's hated me for it, they could never get under my skin and make me angry) So I turn back and BS with Thin Bear for a min. The boss comes in, whom we'll call, Boss Bear. Boss Bear also loves me cause I talk about hunting and shooting stuff with him. So Boss Bear needs to run over to the Circle of Orange and do some stuff. Hes like "Doin anything?" Im like "Meh, not really." cause at this point yelling and screaming would only make my stress raise and not get anything done. So anyways we walk out and he tosses me the keys to his H3. We drive down to the Circle and I grab some breakfast while he visits the courthouse for something. Anyways we have a small adventure at Radio shack and then drive back to find out the thrid delivery guy got himself lost. Yay. Its around 11ish at this point. Usually Im at work by about 8:30. We had went to radio shack because Boss Bear bought a PA system for the shop and after installing it found out that the mic they sent had no end just five wires, a DYI kinda thing. And as Boss Bear knew nothing on the subject he was hopin Radio Shack could help. Luckily I was there and used my vast knowlege of electronics to jimmy rig the mic system for the PA together. So Im sittin behind the desk hot wirin the PA system together fielding calls, when my roomate Pixel Clutch shows up. His Jetta needed some work done on it. So we BS for half an hour before Clutch leaves and the fourth delivery guy shows up. YAY!!. Its around 12:30ish now and Lady bear comes over and offers me lunch. As I am always hungry Im like "hells yeah free lunch". So by the time I finish lunch they had the Blue Fox up and running. Im chillin in the office waitin for Thin Bear to come back do I can see how much damage its done to my wallet. Thin Bear walks in and is like "What are you still doin here?" Im like "Gotta pay ya" Thin Bears like *grin nod* "Get otta here already" Im like "sweet". And to make a long story short, made it to work by like 1. Everyone at work was havin a good day, this cats hide is still in tact, and all was well. The end.
=^.^=
04/03/07 12:01am
FOUND IT. YAY. Eraser. Took an adventure to get it though. But in the end we found a little slice of heaven. Well not exactally little, the art supply store to end art supply stores. Aptly named Art Supply Warehouse. Everything you could ever ask for. Markers, colored pencils, graphite, charcole of a dozen different types. Every weight of paper imaginable. Enough paint to color the Ifel tower, twice (not to mention in every color man can see). Brushes, caligraphy, clays, wire, stencils, easles, lights, glass, etc, etc, etc. And who were managing the registers and isles, an army of angles. Cute girls everywhere. This tired cat might wander his tail back there and put on his charm.
Anyways bought five erasers and found the holy grail of mechanical pencile lead. 4B in .5 size. Needless to say I bought the only four there. Say goodbye to HB and B lead Im back with 4B. The darkness lives!!! God I was tired of hard lead. I really dont know how architechs and drafters use that 3-5HB crap. You cannot get a dark line with it, the most you can get is light grey before you tear right through your paper. I know I know, manga artists are going to chew my ass, "HB lead is great for detailing". I agree, thats a given, Im just saying you cant get charcole quality out of HB lead, no mater how hard you press. Anyways Ive talked to much as I usually do so Ill let you all go. Nite.
P.S. if your not signed up in the Forum go, PLAY!

Wow Friday again already. March pretty much flew by. Dont know what to say but here comes April. Damn, not enough time to do everything that needs to be done. Drawing drawing drawing, writing, writing, writing. Cant even stay in touch with my friends. Not that I had a social life to begin with but you know how it is. Gotta keep the three friends you have happy not to mention that damned pink elephant and the shifty rabbits of the world >.> Erasers, lets talk about em. If your an artist you know what I mean. You have your trusted eraser and your lucky pencil. Two things that you would surely die without, I know I would anyways. A good eraser is crucial to make stubbron lines and accidents disappear. An eraser thats to hard smears the hell out of graphite, an eraser thats to brittle leaves chuncks everywhere which then lead to smearing. The durability and texture are crucial in making an eraser that picks up even the darkest line without a complete mess of smears and eraser shavings. My favorites the Mars Staedtler white eraser (sometimes swapping out for the always useful Kneaded Eraser). So anyways my faithful eraser disappeared which put a serious damper on my drawing activities. Ive had the damed thing for four years and poof gone. Ive been all around this fair city and cannot find one proper art supply store in which to purchase a new one. Why does that always happen, just when you need something it magically disapears. And how hard is it to find an art supply store. Eventually I went to Target and picked up a pack of what they call "white erasers" that are little more then squishy vinal. I think I might just order like ten of my favs and keep the rest as backups. CAn never have to many erasers.

HAPPY BIRFDAY!! to probably one of the best friends a cat could have in the whole wide world. My Little Emerald Finch. You know who your are my dear. All I can say my firends is that she has pulled my sorry ass out of more then one disaster and is always there to pick me up after I fall flat on my face agian and again and again. I can honestly say I am jealous of her boyfriend. Lucky bastard he is. Hope your birthday is filled with fun Little Finch. God knows Id send some your way if you were closer ;)
And another Birfday shout out to an old QA buddy of mine. Happy birthday James. Alvin said I should text you but then I remembered I dont have your number so heres one better, on the front page of my site.
Cheers my friends

Wow, 27th already, time really does fly. Comics up and ready for its public. I will have to say that I am having a lot of fun doing this comic. So much so that I have already written two more stories to tell after this one is finished. Im so excited that I have to restrain myself and concentrate on one thing at a time. Lol, I guess I just love telling stories.
On a side note, I played the Nintendo Wii the other day and I have to say I love its new controlers. Its pretty much what Ive always wanted in a controler. The ability to "point and click" as it were is pure genious. Anyways my friend code is on my About page. On that note Wii golf rocks and the new Legend of Zelda is pretty much tip top awesome. I may just have to pick my self up everything when Im back on my feet monetarily speaking. For now though this cat is off to dreamland. To bad my bed doesnt fly.

FRIDAY!!! Yay, almost the weekend. Rejoice my friends freedom is at our door. So anyways (a little rant) coming back from lunch at work I walk by my car and see something that made me down right irate. Two paralelle scratches running along the rear passengers side quarter. Scratches that could have only come from a shoping cart. Like a shopping cart the people in this apartment complex seem intent on stealing from grocery stores. Yes thats right, 80 percent of the people that live here steal shopping carts. I dont know what for, maybe to haul their groceries home, or laundry but they leave them everywhere. There is acctually a company that comes around in a truck to pick up loose shopping carts as this seems to be a common problem. Etiquette would say a shopping cart should stay with in the vacinity of its store, not 12 blocks from it. So apparently last night one of the shopping cart bandits decided to run it into my car. I didnt notice till this afternoon because I did not see the passengers side until lunch. Sigh, I just got this thing put back together and running and now someone slams a shopping cart into it. Oh well cant win em all I guess. A special hello to everyone advertising thanks for your support. The Top Banner ad is now displayed on most of the pages throughout the site. The Side Banner is on almost every page. Pick your poison as it were.

Hello hello, its Tuesday Morning and here is your wake up call. Its K Billys sounds of the 70s weekend. Keep on truckin. *Music starts rollin, Little Green Bag by George Baker* Comic is up and hot off the presses. Youll also notice a nifty new addition to the site. A nice Ad box located always on your right conviently at eye level. If you own a web comic, advertise, hell its really cheap right now. Mostly because I got it on Sunday and its brand new. But enough about business. Many people have been askin, "Orange where ya been? Havent seen you on IM in forever" Well to weave an answer. Work has me pinned, balls to the wall and no time for IM except for after 8PM. So unless your a creature of the night, like myself, the best way to get in touch with me is email or come harass me in my Forums. Hell thats what its there for. Come, critique, poke fun, tease, or just plain old have fun. Or there always my Comicspace page. Im spread all over the place =O.o= (and if you didnt get the music reference shame on you) Ill see you guys (and gals) in the mornin, as this cat is as his name denotes, tired.
=^.^=
03/17/07 11:45pm
Ok Ill admit it Im a HUGE sucker for charming. I know, I know, "Mr. Cold-Hearted-Blood-and-Guts-Pessimist" even has a soft side ;) Lol, check this out, Im pretty sure I need a cat as smart and talented as this, Click Me.All I have to say is....cccccuuuuuttttteeee.
And in other news, "Thinkin Ape Blues" (a webcomic that makes me smile everytime) had a drawring contest up that I entered. Click here for a view of my entry. Click here for the Official thread. I, if your not familiar with Thinkin Ape Blues, chose to do their "Evil Twins from a Parallel Universe". Note the "Evil Goatees", because all evil twins have the Evil Goatee of Doom.

(if your still confused click here for the Comic and here for Irish fun) So thats a regular comic update and an extra special St. Patricks day comic. Yay. Gots to love the Irish and brinning forth a holiday made specialy for... BEER =@.@=(Newcastle Dark Ale my personal preference). Have fun this weekend, and remember, everything in moderation, lets not be silly and end up in the hospital or pushin up daisys. Obligatory disclaimer out of the way, make sure the pink elephant and that damned green pixie dont hog all the booze this year. And careful for that shifty rabbit Im fairly sure he cheats at cards and I know for a fact that he uses loaded dice =<.<=
Cheers!!

FAQ is updated

03/13/07 12:01am
Watchin Fawlty Towers, laughin my ass off and trying to figure out some kinda solution to many of lifes little jams. How are you supposed to fit everything you need to do in a day...in a day. Quite impossible I have come to believe. Life parallels Basil Fawlty's erratic estate so well. When are we not juggling the impossible, chasing our tails, trying to catch rats, and attempting to communicate with those around us that arnt exactally the brightest crayons in the box. Lol. Britcom is the best, love the dry humor. Red Dwarf, Mr Bean, Father Ted, Brittas Empire, My Hero and so many more that I would run out of news space.
=^.^=
03/08/07 11:00pm
So far so good. Though I did find out what happens when an over eager cat catches that fuzzy catipiller connected to its butt, all I can say is Unexpected Results. Jobs going well but thats real life and who wants to hear about that. Forums starting to populate which makes me cheer and curse all at the same time. Because with all the fun people that you get with it there are always there that have nothing better to do then pick a fight. In other news its an hour to Friday and twnety hours to the weekend. Where I plan to draw and draw and draw. Tomorrows Comic should be ready hot off the presses early tomorrow morning. Enjoy
A special shout out to me ma and pa back in the cold grasp of the northren midwest. Thanks for all the support and your dedication to this mangy farm cat and his crazy hair brained scemes.
=^.^=
03/05/07 10:00pm
Started a new job at Atlus, those gamers out there should know it. Been pretty good so far, bunch of real cool guys there. Damn the real world forcing me to get a "real" job. Not that I dont like being an animator and occasional QA lacky but all I want to do is write my novels, grrr. Ah god bless the entertainment arts industry and its impossibilities. Rant rant whine rant. Gennerally I find chasing my tail quite entertaining, its always running away from me jjjuuuusssttt out of reach. One day tail....one day =>.>= Anyways now that Ive got that out of my system. Tomorrows update is right on schedual and should be hot off the press for ya early tomorrow morning. Until then night all.
=^.^=
03/02/07 8:00pm
Two announcements. First off thanks to those people that have joined the forum. Im hoping itll become a hub of activity. Secondly the Comic will now be updating on Tuesdays
as well as Fridays as long as I can keep it up. The Story is picking up and needs to be told. Well see how well this Tired Cat can keep it up. Either way if it doesnt update on a Tuesday it will ALWAYS update on a friday.
=^.^=
03/01/07 2:15pm
Theres now a Plush and Blood Forum, we'll see how much trouble we cant get into with that. Im replacing the blog with the forum. The *Comment* button will now go straight to the Forum. Trying to get everything a little more streamlined. Although Im not sure where Im going to put the "Forum" link on the page. Curse my design. Maybe Ill jam it higgly piggly somewhere on the page. Again not that anyone acctually reads this tripe. Mostly just my thoughts spoken...writen out...loud. Hmmmmmmm, I might have jsut solved that problem. Back in a min, or as they say on the Internets, brb.
=^.^=
03/01/07 2:00am
Surprise surprise Im up at 2am again. Anyways I was doodling and now theres a new incentive up to vote. Not that it matters, Im fairly certain that Im the only one reading this but hey what the hell. Tell your story, no matter the audience the wind will listen and carry it to the ends of the earth.
=^.^=
02/28/06 4:30pm
Sometimes I amaze even myself. So I was sitting there last night doing a drawing exercise (swtiching pictures every ten sec doing gesture drawings for five minutes, then onto 30sec for 5min, then 1min for 10 min, then 5min for 20min) when poof cuteness attacked my pencil and BOOM! I decided I had to color it with colored penciles and was pleasently surprised with the results.
=^.^=
02/23/07 3:00pm
Ok I did a bit of site maintence, heres the list of things that changed :
- MISC -changed to- FUN STUFF-ING
- The FUN STUFF-ING page (previously MISC) got a much needed redesign
- Added a bunch of stuff to the LINKS page, theres some Plush and Blood links back there now and a link to a friend of mines website (we're animators if anyone cares)
And before you go yelling at me saying you cant see the changes hit refresh in your browser. Ta-daaa Magic.
=^.^=
02/23/07 12:00am
Whorin myself out to the webcomic lists. Oh noes!!!! Not really though. Theyre all way back on the Links page out of sight and out of mind. Honestly I dont much care about "popularity" I just want to get my story out there. If I get popular in the process yay for me, if not, oh well nothing lost. I have fun doing this either way.
P.S. If you do decide to vote (middle button bottom) there is a picture incentive of Katt, this time shes in a good mood, I promise ;)

02/22/07 7:20pm

Friday and Im nearly asleep at my computer. A very stressful week has come to an end and its time for the rejuvenation of the weekend. Hope all is going well with you all. For now though this cat is going to get some sleep. Nites.
=^.^=
02/14/07 5:00pm
Valentines day is here. It is either the single most happy day of ones life or the single most miserable. I wish those that are couples well on this day of love, but us singlets need to ban together. Ban together and in a wild storm hit the only place in the world where singles can find love (apparently). THE BAR!! dun dun daaaaaaa. Seems like a solid plan, alcohol + depression = nothing could go wrong. =P Me on the other hand, as I have no date/sig other/gf, will be right here, contemplating life and drawing Fridays comic. I demand you feel sorry for me in the mean time, lol. Oh well I try. Special V-Day comic up. XOXO and all that jazz.
=^.^=
02/13/07 7:00pm
A few updates. The Cast page has two new additions to it. Browns page and The Invinicbles page. Also there is a new pic in the Gallery.
=^.^=
02/09/07 3:00am
Well the bells tolled 3am and Im am still sitting here. Just finished the comic and uploading it. Did not have a chance to do it earlier today or anytime this week like I usually do. Had two interviews and have been craming to learn UNIX scripting in under a week. Not to mention creating an entire city block in Maya. Ugg. Talk about a week jammed with head aches. Just reformatted one of my laptops with Fedora 6 (UNIX OS) after archiveing a shit ton of stuff off my main computer all the while reading prgraming scripts. Its good times, almost as good as getting kicked in the head with a golf shoe.Wish me luck. When Monday hits theres going to be a hell of an even busier week. This Tired Orange Cat wants to go to sleep in the very comfortable bed beside him but needs to run a few background tests on a script I wrote. So itll be an hour or two before sleep. No rest for the wicked. Also, Ive been trying a few new things, normally I take out the sketching but this time I left it in. I liked the results. Gimme some feedback.
=^.^=
02/05/06 12:00am
All right my friends, at the advent and current craze of MySpace there is now an official Plush and Blood page there. Send me a friend request. Also if you dont have a MySpace page stand up and be counted in the comments section. Gimme a shout out to all those reading out there. Well thats if theres anyone reading out there. Im pretty sure I end up talking to myself alot. Oh well, cant lable me insane if theres nobody around to hear me
=^.^=
02/03/07 12:05am
Addendum: New image up in the Gallery. Its a higher res version of the last panel in today...yesturdays comic. I liked the way it turned out. But as it is midnight and I spent all day wrokin my ass off (got 3 interviews next week) this Tried Orange Cat is hittin the preverbial hay. Nights.
=^.^=
02/02/07 4:15pm
Well here it is finally lol. Thatll teach this cat to misfile his archival disks. Anywho, I highly recommend Starnger Than Fiction. Very well writtin movie. And it also proves that Will Ferral can act. Love Emma Thompson, shes pretty much the woman I want to marry in that movie. lol. And Dustin Hoffman, as always, rocks!
=^.^=
01/26/07 11:45pm
Got so new 3D comin, Ill post a link when I get it up. Writing to beat hell, not my main novel a different one. Juggling my time between writing, 3D, and that annoying thing they call spleep or comonly refeered to as "the sleep". Anyways, nothing to new in my world. Same boring cat. Sorry. Not much of a conversation expert as many would say. To tired.

Almost time to go back to the "real world". What a waste. Oh well, if its one thing life has in store for everyone its an avenue of broken dreams. Great part is that Ive almost finished the first Act of my novel. Meh. Not that anyone reads this news anyways. Just an outlet for the thoughts running around in my head. Rant Rant

01/04/07 10:30pm
Been writing like a mad igeit lately. Averaging about 30 pages a day, my fingers dont hurt so much as my shoulder does. For some reason my shoulder is killing me =P
Anywho, if you get the chance see both The Illusionist and The Prestige. Both awesome movies.

12/28/06 11:00pm
Hello Hello Hello, so anyways got a new comic up. Two new bands I believe everyone should listen to. Trans-Syberian Orchestra and Dragon Force, which I thank SomeoneEVIL for introducing me to. Speed Metal at its best. On a movie note, The Descent, came out yesturday and its pretty much awesomeness. Like a HP Lovecraft story cave style, Sara (the heroin) is pretty much my hero =^.^=
Been spending alot of time at Barns and Noble writing my fingers off. Im there so much the cute girls behind the coffee shop counter already have a medium cinnamon tea waiting mmmmmmm, yums (trying to cut down on the soda/sugar intake).
Other then that my lifes pretty uneventful, spend most of my time trying to figure out why people suddenly go from liking me to hating me with a vengence and why no matter how nice I am people still seem to want to rip my heart out. =P
Its all moot in the end, it aint over till the last shots fired and the last breaths taken.
=^.^=
12/21/06 10:15pm
MERRY CHRSITMAS everyone!! Yay =^.^= Hope you are all doing well. Thanks to all my friends for putting up with my constant assholedness. God knows they are made of stronger stuff then I. Thanks to my fam for their constant support. Thanks to my girls (finches, cats and foxes) for putting up with my constant whining and crying. And my apologies to someone for rushing her life right over the edge of a cliff where I promised not to go.
Theres a special X - Mas pic up. Enjoy.
Happy Holidays and heres hope that all your realatives leave their drama at home. =^.^=

Happy Birfday to ME!!! =^.^=
12/07/06 10:00pm
Updating everything for friday a bit early tonight. This cats been up into the wee hours of the night a few nights to often and needs to hit the hay early. Been coloring my hands off and killed four of my prisma color markers already =P. Updated the Story page again. One day left and then Im going home, Yay. Although I dont know if leaving my nice 70-80 degree weather for 0-30 degree weather is such a good idea ;) Sigh I guess one just has to make those sacrifices. Nothing like giving the weather a second chance. And if you have not seen "A Prairie Home Companion" I suggest you go put your shoes on, grab your wallet/purse, go to your nearest store, purchase it and then return home and watch it. I give it 5/5 paws. Although most people will not get the dry Minnesota humor, I do and I love it. =^.^=
12/05/06 3:15am
Updated a few pages :
Story
Gallery
12/01/06 3:25pm
A comments page is officially up and running now. You can get to it via this link or go to the "Comics" page and click on "comment" near the top or bottom of the page. Mainly I thought it would be useful for people to comment on the days current comic.
11/30/06 7:30pm
Special double comic post. There will be one uploaded today and friday. Yay!! =^.^=
And just want to give a shout out to a few people
Brad and Kori (my ND peeps)
My Emerald Finch for her support and patience with me
The HotHotWeazly
Ari
Emily (my London consultant, and former ND peep;) )
aaaannnnddd
my sister, as I bounced every little change off her and made her my "outside" tester. And all of her critiques. Mostly cause shes the only one thatll tell me straight up if what Im doing is crap or not =D
And I recommend Disneys animated version of Robin Hood. I pretty much cant stop watching it =P
11/27/06 7:30pm
Alright the entirity of the site is up in running, in one fashion or another. All pages now go somewhere and should be able to go elsewhere. Any issues, spelling errors, broken links, broken pics, or opinions gimme a yell. I also set up a IM for myself. MSN - TiredOrangeCat. Dont send mail there because it wont get answered, that adress is for IM only. If you wish to contact me via email use the link at the bottom of the page =^.^=
11/26/06 2:30pm
Links page is up and running.
11/25/06 1:30am
Wow I was not aware that I was so vehemently hated by some people. It really does humor me on how people avoid me or walk on eggshells. To all those out there afraid of breaking the ivory shells beneath their feet, GROW A PAIR AND FACE ME! I assure you you will not, can not, hurt my feelings. =^.^= Anywho, Theres a little CSS text style issue that Ive been dealing with between IE and FF so if you get a 5 pixel shift thats it. Anyone out there know how to fix that?
11/24/06 10:00pm
Got the Friday Comic up this morning and the "Cast" page is offically up and running.
11/23/06 3:15pm
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from Plush and Blood and The Unstuffed. I whipped up a extra special bonus web comic for today, click here to view it. =^.^= The "Cast" page should be up with in the next couple days as well as a semi working "Links" page.
11/19/06 11:00pm
Wow would you look at that, Im posting something in the news before 1am =P. Anywho heres a sneak peak at a pet project of mine. *Peak* =^.^=
FYI the whole site is still under construction for anyone new browsin about.
11/17/06 1:00am
Alright, Archive page is offically working, comic is up and Final Fantasy III for the DS is friggen awesome. I highly recomend that if you own a DS you go and buy it. This cats to pooped to think properly and the lines are beginning to run together, so Im going to hit the hay. And as it were everything worked out so I can go home for the week of my birthday (12/13 if anyone cares), yay =^.^= Not that anyone reads these news postings but I like to talk to myself seeing as its about the only conversation I get now a days. ;)
