Hello??
Hello? Anyone still even looking in here?? :D
I've been wicked busy with lettering and trying to write. All sorts of cool stuff going on and most of it I can't really talk about yet. Of course work on my own books goes in fits and starts and truly tests my resolve to do this comic-making thing. But I'm either too stuborn or too stupid to throw in the towel.
The eternally delayed Black Watch has just moved on to it's NINTH artist. This book should have been done three years ago but I have repeatedly had artist delays turn into artist changes. Everyone who knows details is chomping at the bit to see the book done, all the artist who have been on board have claimed to LOVE the material....it just always falls apart. I'm going to wait to announce who is on it now...wait and see how it pans out. He's seems like a serious pro so I have high hopes. He's done work at Image and Dark Horse and is quite a talented dude. If things start moving I'll eagerly post some art.
One of my big Nothingface miniseries has been canceled...or maybe just postponed. The artist and I talked and decided that we'd transfer our collaboration to something completely different. There were some issues with how he felt he was doing, how his style was meshing with Nothingface. Nothingface remains the book that is closest to my heart (for now, I guess that could change) and I sincerely hope to do a LOT of it down the road. For now, one mini is still being SLOWLY worked on and a one-shot is still planned with another artist as soon as he finishes up his current book. It's honestly starting to feel like I need to try and make a name and THEN go after getting Nothingface out there in a big way.
Okay, back to work for me. Hopefully, I'll be back soon with more info and art to post.
Oh, that image up there...Evanescence - The Open Door. The new album is fantastic. It's so rare to have an album be so good and so successful and have the follow-up be just as good...they did it. It's the same kind of stuff but a little different...definitely does NOT feel like you're just listening to the same album again. I've listened to it 3 or 4 times since I got it off iTunes yesterday.

Dude! Why didn't you TELL me you'd changed the location of your blog!? I thought you'd just disappeared off the face of the map! Glad to see you didn't.
Oh, and I'm sorry to hear about your artist troubles. I've had quite a few of those myself. Four Gunmen in particular was an ungodly pain in the butt to find an artist for. Stay stubborn, man. It's all we have!
Hahaha! Sorry about disappearing. I had tried to move the blog on my own webspace to more easily encorporate it into a website. Apparently the SECOND I did that, my old blogger ID became available and was scooped up by a bot that is designed to do that and redirect recently "abandoned" addresses to spam sites. Bastards.
For the future you can just keep track of www.madalaskan.com and it should always point to a blog or site or however I'm representing myself online.
