Archive for January, 2008

Had lunch with my good pal, Jules, today at the Warm Puppy Cafe and look who showed up.

The first part of January has seen an odd mix of things transpire. My girlfriend and I started the New Year by taking a location scouting trip to tour a WWII submarine in San Francisco bay. A portion of Jane’s World Vol. 9 takes place on submarine in case you were wondering.

For those of you asking yourself “why is she talking about vol. 9?? Where is vol. 8??” Vol. 8 is closing out even as I write. It’s finished… finally… I hit a snag 50-60 pages into the book and had to scrap a lot of material and start over. That rewrite/redraw set me back several weeks and for that I’m sorry, but the finished book is much better for it.

This next photo is of my first body art. No, I didn’t actually do the tattoo itself, but I did draw the car for my friend Simone and now she’s wearing it. Pretty damn cool.

Then, to round out the first week of January, just as I was finishing book 8, northern California had a “historic” storm. Seven to ten inches of rain and 60 mph winds. Needless to say, we lost power and I lost part of my roof. And yes, as if the furry cap wasn’t a dead give away, it was also COLD. This is a photo that my pal Susan took as we were sharing some apple pie and instant coffee by candle light.
