Back to Technicalities – Blog Update
Okay, fair enough. This blog hasn’t been regularly updated in a long while. That’s on me. You could argue it’s also on life and, no, this not a writer making the standard excuse of everyday life being too busy for their art life.
The blog update is this: Regular blogging took a backseat due to limited brain power, meaning the old noggin was used for deep thinking on other endeavors–creative and otherwise–thus in a state of mush come blogging time. The other items took priority–like getting books written on a tight deadline then off to press–and had to be done otherwise I might as well put the entire creative career on hold. Those labors needed to occur so their fruits would inform what happens on the screen in front of you. Guess you could say they resemble the circuit board above.
You might have noticed this website went from dark to light. This is not me. This is WordPress. I keep setting it back to dark mode and it keeps bouncing back to light mode. Perhaps by the time you read this I’ll have it figured out, but if not, then you know why.
The idea here is to get back into regular blogging. Sometimes it might be detailed, like an essay or article, other times book listings, announcements, musings, etc. As per usual, we’ll keep it to superheroes, monsters, and the arts.
Plan? Right after I publish this entry, I’m going to try and fix the light/dark issue permanently. Next is a moderate face lift for this blog since the last time its aesthetics were updated was seven years ago. This will be a [relatively] slow-morph project so each time you visit, you should see at least one thing adjusted, if not more.
For those who haven’t stopped by in a while, the latest personal release is the merch item of the Axiom-man sketchbook following the release of the BATTLE OF POWER TRILOGY for THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA last year. That trilogy finished Act One of the saga. As per this week’s newsletter (which is for everyone so feel free to get on board), the title for the next installment and the kick-off to Act Two is AXIOM-MAN: AFTERMATH. This is an episode installment, so a novella. It’ll be a quasi-epilogue and quasi-prologue to Act Two. The goal is to have this book out by Winnipeg Comic Con in the fall.
