Loan Ranger to the Rescue

Image
The long promise loan is finally nearly here, half as much as expected and a quarter of what I needed but its here all the same now to strategically get pages done to impress a indiegogo audience and get the finishing money to complete my first book. I must also decide which pages to get coloured to further impress the alt comics crowd . So,a lot of marketing type stuff that i really do not excel at at all. If living is learning,then I'm living a shit ton this year .

Youtube Down

Image
My device for recording youtube videos  and getting the word out about my comic has decided to fuck around. The last few weeks it is recording my voice happily enough  then making the videos impossible to find on my pc later . So I can record all I want then not edit or upload them. I feel isolated from my legion of 21 fans. I am unable to comment on comic book news , review books and give update on the status of my book .And its pissing me right off. A year ago I didn't even have youtube now I find a piece of myself is missing ? weird how small things can make a big difference in your life. My audience may be tiny but i love em all. and they have great taste in youtube channels after all

Suspended from twitter for the first time for attempting to avoid suspension??????

I had a very strange and vague message on my twitter about being suspended . I spent 30 minutes going round in circles with a few twitter pages saying a list of reasons it MIGHT have happened,rather than an actual explanation. My email notified me that I'd been suspended for avoiding permanent suspension.? What the holy fuck does that mean ? How can I be suspended for the first time for the crime of being suspended? Can you get arrested for the crime of being arrested??. Does this make sense to anyone else? Update I was suspended from my account  for using offensive words in a ironic fashion. The god of context is dead apparently. The suspension it turns out is not a suspension but a ban.since there's no time limit and there is  no right of appeal at all.

Loan oF The Rings

I find myself in the same problem I had earlier in the year.  I can't get funding with out loads more art to bring in impressed investor/ customers but cant get art without loads more funding.so  in what i'm sure will be a move guaranteed to bring me to the poor house (or at least an even lower teer poor house with out the classy rats) I'm getting a loan. A loan that previously crippled me utterly for 6 months with repayments  and a loan that might not even pay for half the book. A loan that's more of a las vegas style gamble in that i might lose everything. So as i stated last year i'm ready to suffer for my Art ,ready to starve and apparently ready for complete financial meltdown now as well. Funny things is I've never been much of a gambler At least I'm betting it all on me not some some cunting horse

I love Avengers endgame,though it has MAJOR flaws

It started off so well. The team are dealing with the emotional fall out of the snap.  The realisation that there little jaunt to the garden has failed, they cannot undo thanos' handiwork. Fast forward 5 years later and ant man suddenly shows up having been trapped in the quantum realm. Only hours have passed for him not years and so he theorizes the quantum realm could be used to  travel back in time to undo the snap. A bit of a leap to honest ,but ok. Then we have the first major clunker the next hour of the movie.We get utterly stupid rules for time travel that not only make no sense at all,but more importantly completely destroy the tension of the mission/heist. If as hulk says you can never change the present or future by altering the past it just create an alt time line, then why on earth did they need to sneak around?? They could have levelled the 1970s shield base with iron man tech and dug the cube out of the ruins if nothing matters.The sneaking around not ...

Yet More Art

Image
The comic book looks fabulous and I'm so happy to have an artist as enthusiastic about the project as myself.This time i'm waiting for more art before i launch my indiegogo. people apparently like to see lots to reassure them its not a rip off  or to get a complete sense of how the book will look. I was beginning to wonder if my scarily bad social skills might drive away the entire artist community on twitter.Fortunately People are cool with my constant faux paus. Having Aspergers is not as fun as they make it out in the media. I'm not a card counting rain man making a fortune in vegas I dont create computers to beat the nazis and I'm never going to be voted mr congeniality in.. anything at all unless its the morgue . All i can say is I was taught we were all put on this earth to help others and that's what I've tried to do with family friends etc . It has on occasion lead to me being shamelessly used by others taking advantage of my trusting naivety...
