"WOW!, my first Blog entry"...


Hello,

This is all fairly new to me so you ,who are kind enough to visit me here at my humble little piece of the internet...Thank you.

I hope you have enjoyed my little studios sight thus far, my friend and webmaster on this venture is one Ernest Vinson Jr., a rather intelligent cat who also possesses a unique kind of patience...especially for friends who don't exactly know what the hell they're doing 90% of the time...it's his knowledge of these funny little machines we call computers and of the internet in general that has made this site possible....thanks man.

I will from time to time be updating any news concerning all things in the Surface Art Studios, whether it be new projects both personal and professional or general goings on in and beneath the "SURFACEWORLD".

Who the hell am I?

Why do I need a BLOG?

Simple, I have no life! I average about 4-5 hours sleep a night, not from lack of trying mind you, just a part time insomniac I guess. When I'm not vegetating in front of the "Boob Tube" watching assorted crapola, or drafting and designing a piece on the ole' drawing board, I'm usually on the damn computer-believe me when I say that I do not live the life of a rock star,I would if I could but it seems that the supreme being has carved out this little niche of reality just for me to inhabit, and please forgive me for using this new age tool to occasionally spill my proverbial guts from time to time.

I will be updating here occasionally with reviews of films, comics, and books. I am a bit of a film freak and deep down a frustrated critic wannabe. I'll also voice an opinion or two bout various things and on various subjects-except for politics-that shit bores the tears out of me and along with organized religion seems to be speedily sending our "civilization" into a downward spiral.

I am readying myself for the upcoming Orlando Comic-Con, a small privately run con in it's 2nd year down here in the "Land of the Rat" as I like to call it, Orlando, Florida.

For more details about the event be sure to check out my conventions page on the site for times and dates.

I am currently designing a poster for the event which will be available at my booth. I will post the art here as soon as it's ready. I will also be available for commissions at the con, been doing this since 2002 MegaCon and I'll give you my best for a pretty low price.

If you live in Florida or plan to visit come September 21st-23rd, by all means stop by the con and say hey, would love to meet ya...

Please use this forum if you wish, I welcome any response/feedback.



-take care, peace
