I know how you feel, though I only wish my life could be that exciting. Been all right. Good trip?

I do alot of things, so my life seems interesting and exciting, but they're secretly dull. Still, gets me out of the house, so I shan't complain. I really would like to swing from a helicopter on a rope while explosions explode. THAT would be exciting.

Yup, good trip. 2 different book shows where I was hawking my work. SOld enough books to pay for all my plane flights, but not my hotel and food, which is annoying.

You live in Hawaii right? which island? I've been to Oahu and Maui.

Last night I slept really badly, there was this little skrtiching noise that was freaking me out. It was irregular, and stopped whenever I turned the light on, so it was obviously alive, but I could not find the cause of it anywhere. Also, it kept getting louder. Eventually I found it was a spider trapped in a paper bag high up on the shelf, a big scary one. So I disposed off it and stopped being paranoid about monsters coming to get me on tiny squeaky motorcycles.

I see what you mean -- from a distance, my life would seem exciting as well. I live in Hawaii and make money as a painter and cartoonist, I regularly climb through jungles and mountains, I've gone swimming with sharks, and a teach art classes for ages 1 1/2 to 5. On paper it looks so cool, but that's omitting all the stuff about my trick-ass ghetto apartment on Convict Street, my empty bank account, and all that time I sit around just watching Star Trek.

Heck, I've never been to ANY book show, let alone my own. I'd call THAT exciting, mate. I'm glad you had fun and hey, even if you didn't cover all your costs, it's a step in the right direction, eh?

I live on the island of O'ahu, parts of which are astoundingly pretty, parts of which are dismally overpopulated. In a perfect world I could live on The Big Island (what is technically known as Hawai'i Island) and have a big old house with a goat and some chickens and still be close enough to a good pizza joint or craft store. But for now, it's cool enough.

And that's pretty creepy about the spider in the bag -- you want creepy crawlies, just come to my island some time. We have cane spiders as big as your hand and centipedes that get up to a foot long and can kill a baby.

I think from a distance most things look a bit more exciting than they really are. You don't notice all the boring bits and tiny frustrations that can build up, all you see are the base coolnesses, and assume they're going on all the time.

I live in california, with all the attendant beaches and forrests and mountains and sometimes snow, teach cartoons to 3,4th and 5th graders, have booksignings all over the place, travel, adventure, draw cartoons, blahdi blahdi, and sit around and look at my empty bank account, in my parents house, and watch doctor who.

Do they have any good bookshows in Hawaii? They must do. Yep, they're fun, although also tiring, and there are always cool parties and things you miss out on, and feel sad about after.

Yes, I got a taste of that from oahu. Stayed in Waikiki, but took a bus up to the north shore to hang out there, I think I got a good taste of most of the island. Looking to coming back, I loved all the chickens all over the place. Cities certainly were overpopulated, that's never fun.

It wasn't the spider itself that was scarey, just the not knowing what it was, and letting your imagination run crazy. I've seen scarey australian spiders before, and black widows. We get lots of rattlesnakes, which can kill you. I don't like the sound of baby killing centipedes. Baby's shouldn't be killed by bugs, I am against that.

So, yeah!

Cartoons are awesome! Just got back from a pitch meeting with some animation dudes, good reaction. Not 'Lets buy all your ideas right now' good but definately positive. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I really liked your recent teddy bear secret agent comic, just 'Yes Mr President, I can see the boat!' was so wonderfully random and hilarical. Keepit upwards.

You may live with your folks and have an empty bank account, but I know I sure as shit am not selling enough comic books to fly to signings and whatnot. Heck, I can hardly afford cat food. On the plus side, however, my first official self-printed book in in the make, so maybe I'll at least make back the printing cost on it.

No real bookshows or shows of any kind here that don't directly relate to Hawaii. As far as comic artists, writers or musicians, outsiders don't often come here because it's expensive, and also Hawaii is more fond of itself than of others -- if you're a Hawaiian artist of any kind, you do shows. Otherwise, not really.

Our centipedes are the children of Satan. They don't kill babies, but they certainly COULD. They are altogether evil.

I'm glad you liked the comic! I'm having fun with it, especially since I started the teddy bear series -- I always imagined H.B. doing stuff like that when I was asleep or at work or school. Thanks for the luv!

Sending good vibes your way for the animation thingy. Hey, if it doesn't happen now, it certainly will happen later on.
