Fat-Ass on FatEye.com

The big news this week is on FatEye. So Cheryl Senter (who I mentioned last post) came over to the house and followed me around with a camera and some recording equipment. My wee little mind is still being blown by the whole experience. Though I was basically on the verge of vomiting from nerves the entire time, I still really enjoyed the experience. At some point I should hear from one of the local papers about a print article that will go with this slide show thing. I’m equal parts flattered and embarrassed about it. And for the record –if I had had ANY idea that we would be upstairs taking pictures I would have cleaned my shit-hole bedroom!

So there ya go. Watch it and gain a freaky insight into my daily life.

That was last Monday. On Sunday I went down to Boston for this month’s Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School. I had an even better time than the Mother’s Day gig, though I was pretty sad that Dorinda couldn’t go with me. For one thing she has this magical ability to navigate through Boston which I totally lack, so I was terrified of getting lost in the Bean Town Labyrinth and being forced to convert to life as a Cambridge art yuppie just to survive. For another thing, since starting this whole art thang, hanging out with my wife has become an entirely fantastic experience. Its like we’ve just met and are a couple of goofy kids just fartin’ around. For anyone who is still a goofy kid, you know what I mean.

I luvs her mucho!

The only up-side to going solo was that I was able to relax my guard a little. Dee will be the first to tell you that she is insanely jealous. She explains it as a natural genetic byproduct of being Irish. Now, I have some Irish in me, and a whole mess of Scottish and I am about as un-jealous as a person can be. So as far as I can determine her attitude towards me and my interactions with other women have less to do with “Irish” and more to do with “Crazy”. It also has something to do with weather or not its Tuesday and weather or not she stirs the cream in her coffee clockwise or counter-clockwise that morning.

Now I KNOW no one will believe this, but the fact that there are nearly nekkid, attractive girls at Dr. Sketchy’s is totally besides the point for me. There’s music, there’s drinkies, and there’s a bunch of other artists there. The fact that there’s a model as well is totally incidental to me. I would have been just as happy if someone had said, “Hey, lets draw elephants!” I just like getting out amongst my own kind –‘cause they’re pretty thin on the ground here in Wilton.

This month’s model, Mary Widow, was great. She struck some really fun, dynamic poses and she had fantastic costumes. Her husband-to-be, J. Cannibal MC’ed the event and we did several fun contests.

Other than that I’ve been plowing through the inks on KOD2. I just finished up a batch of pages this morning and I’m pretty pleased with them.

The rest of the week will be spent inking as many more pages as I can manage and getting ready for Wizard World Philly –I hope to see some of you there!

This blog’s Random Splendor is videogame related. I love a good videogame. I really enjoy immersing myself in the fantasy of the game and enjoying the ride. Then wishing that shooting shit was more socially acceptable when I here the idiots that aren’t gamers blame school shootings and drug dealers on Super Mario Party.

Fucktards!

Oh and before I forget, here are the 4 finished sketches from Dr. Sketchy’s! The Freddy Kruger is based on a one minute thumbnail I did at the start of the show –I liked the pose so much that I elaborated on it at home, and now Mary Widow seems to be using it as her MySpace avatar. Rockin’!
