…And here is another video from another comic. This part of the process actually takes over 2 hours for me to do. For the video, I sped it up the process to roughly 10 minutes.

I posted this up on the Sword in Hand site a couple of weeks ago, and I forgot to post it up over here.

Basically, the video took about 15 minutes to draw, and was condense to about 4 minutes or so. Tomorrow, I’ll post up another video of some of the other steps I use to finalize a comic.

A month ago, I ordered a Nikon D90 from Adorama. I would not recommend ordering from Adorama. The camera I received was defective (which probably was not Adorama’s fault), but anyways, having to send it back for an exchange turned into a month long fruitless process.

In the end, I got refunded on my credit card (which really wasn’t at all what I wanted… I just wanted a D90!) and I placed my order at B&H.

Unfortunately they aren’t doing any better, as the order was placed quite early on Thursday and still hasn’t been processed so I’m pretty sure it will be missing its estimated arrival time of Wednesday.

ARG so frustrating.

Update: B&H shipped my camera and it should get here on Thursday. 1 day behind schedule, but I’ll take that.

Last Monday, I continued the story of Sword in Hand. It was the first strip in three years, and continued the story of episode 2 right where it left off.

So far, things have been going great. Readership is growing quickly thanks for the truly amazing Project Wonderful. The new Wacom Cintiq has made the whole process enjoyable and has given the production of the strip a very natural feeling.

I’m in the process of putting the final finishing touches on Sword in Hand’s face lift. I hope to have new comics up and running starting Monday

I couldn’t stop laughing at this. Had to share.

I love music. It’s a very safe bet to say that the majority of Austinites feel the same way so it’s no wonder that Austin annually hosts one of the best music festival’s in the nation. Austin City Limits.

Its a great place to discover new music. This year, there were roughly ~130 bands present including the Foo Fighters, Beck, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, The Raconteurs, The Mars Volta, Gnarls Barkley, N.E.R.D., Gogol Bordello, Blues Traveler, and well… about 131 more.

I took more pictures this year than I did last, but still I didn’t take that many. After all, I wasn’t there to take pictures or video. Pictures are on my flickr ACL set and I even uploaded videos to my Youtube channel.

Here is a video of Gnarls Barkley from ACL 2008.
