Nicole Muse

Nicole was my muse. When I drew Nicole's caricature, I'm pretty sure I succeeded in drawing her the way she felt and wanted to be seen. I'm the anti-muse on television. After all I did for Nicole Cook in art school at Sunrise Hall, Fort Lauderdale, I'd pretty much go represented on screen and on paper the opposite way of how Nicole was represented on screen and paper. So that particular gesture of kindness, the kindness in that favor of mine was never returned to me.

More on the Subject of Television: While We're On That Subject: How to Make TV Better, and Why It's Been Broken

Adult Swim is mostly too SouthParkian to be watchable recently. I'd rather watch El Ray or AMC, The Hub, Boomerang, History 2, online streams, my own channels, The Simpsons on FXX, or something of that nature.

Toonami is still pretty good, but not Adult Swim. I was disappointed by Black Jesus. If by disappointed, you mean I never had any expectations of it to begin with when you compare it to the first and second season of The Boondocks, or the entire run of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Or Ben 10: Alien Force. Or Game of Thrones. Or Breaking Bad. Or 24.

Yep. I am pretty passionate about TV. Not just any TV, though. Good TV. I almost feel outraged or angry if an executive somewhere in TV World is sitting back while a bad show plays and they're expecting me to tolerate that. There's 1,001 reasons why EVERY minute of TV can and should be good. There's enough good shows and documentaries and dramas and comedies out there, you  don't NEED filler. You don't need the crap. YouTube has a ton of useable Broadcast Material. I cannot wait until the Day YouTube officially becomes a part of regular, traditional TV, whether it's a Video Playlist, a Series, a Channel, or just clips from movies, pre-existing non-filler TV, and action anime like what I do. There are ways it can be made possible that traditional television won't drive the majority of its viewers to chord cutting, and it starts with  broadcasting around or broadcasting directly from the stockpile of Amazing Material of stream video that already exists online.

The Lazies - America - You SUCK at Animation Now!....

America....Good god. Just look at this country. Look how much being strong, rich, famous, and powerful has made us fat, ugly, and lazy on the TV.

Japan, a former wartime rival now beats us at animation and comics production, regularly. And many animation and comics professionals are too arrogant to care and see that the Japanese are beating us at our own game (animation, design, comics) most of the time. France is ahead of the United States too, but not as much as the Japanese. America needs to stay competitive. We need to copy and emulate the Japanese aesthetic and work style in order to catch up with them and be competitive again. The only thing America still leads the world in is political military elements and technology elements, as well as literature. But we are getting our asses Handed To Us at animation and comics! It's a fucking tragedy. I for one don't plan on letting it stay this way. I need to be the best cartoonist and author-designer I can be.

The Publishing Story of My Journals - A Literary Market Odyssey

The Collected Journals

I struggled for a long time with these journals. Not so much with actually writing them, but with finding a commercial market for a new kind of literary genre: Memoir-JournalLiving Manual.

I was writing it, and after a year of writing, I knew those journals were good. But I couldn't see or find any form of actual tangible market or business to publish them in, other than DIY Print-on-Demand Self-Publishing. At first I published them privately, but eventually I made the books public, on Amazon, Lulu, Book Tango, and Scribd, and later embedded the Scribd books into a blog entry at blogger. But it was a struggle getting the public interested in me or my book series. It was a long and difficult struggle of a journey . With very little feedback from anyone outside of my parents and an occasional comment from Jerry Conser, and a few other people I shared my Journals with.

The manuscript is riddled with babblings and grammatical and spelling errors, mostly because it's still a first draft I never revised and wrote very quickly.

But the thing is, Iknew I had created a special book at one point, once the first or second book was binded, printed, and I purchased my own copy for the first time. I knew I could find an entire career in these manuscripts if I could just figure out how to market them and sell them the right way, as is, and not adapt them into a "story" or narrative, which is something I found a bit unnecessary, as it's still somewhat of not just a log and diary, but a commentary, lyricism, and academic work, as it deals with academic subjects such as art, literature, production methods, pop culture, and cinema. The writing style was also very advanced for the age I wrote the first 2 books at. The 16 and 17 year old range. I had 2 books completed by the age of 17.
