But have been working real hard on the new project. I’m on the last issue synopsis — each one is a 2-3 page summary of a 24 (I hope) page book. I gotta tell you that I think it would be easier to just write 22 pages of dialogue than pack all the info in. All the travelling also screwed me up as I was dead to the world on my Birthday, and Tuesday didn’t get much else done either. Yesterday was a good day, but Deb took William to the city and my mom and I watched Matthew. He’s a handful!

Mimi spoke with Debi on the phone Tuesday and Virgin made us an offer to produce a 64 page Graphic Novel based on the film script, or at least my version of it. I won’t be able to start it for at least 6 months but that’s when her option is up.. She wasn’t too happy with that, but oh well, I have to do this DC project (of which you already know of ).

I spoke with a bunch of people who are helping me with reference for the new project and Solof, Dom and Black Cat Guy are coming over Monday to take pictures. The project will be announced at the Baltimore show, so I’ve got to have a cover done (Sparky painted) and production sketches of all the characters. I’m even hoping to do a very detailed double page spread of it, but time’s really running out. It’s not really that important I do it and as I always think while typing, figure I’ll do it a few weeks after and post it in Hellion.

Speaking of which, I’m hoping to finish the last issue today so I can post a new Hellion on creating a comics cover.

Chicago WW was okay, got to see Bruce, Joe, TJ and Dawn briefly. That sucked but I had to work. TJ and Dawn stayed one day and Joe the other, Bruce was working and I did spend some good time with him. Next time, we’ll all work together and meet at a show. Since I was only there for two nights, I had dinner meetings — both of which went great! One with DC the other with Amazing Fantasy distribution. They’ll be producing the new sketchbook. It’ll be out later on this year. It’s going to be great — a big departure from my previous work. I’ll also be producing the Hellion sketchbook, but I’m not sure when. I’ve got a meeting with Diamond on September 7th for that.

Until tomorrow — Tally Ho!
