So tonight is a mass of mixed emotions… how’s that for alliteration? This is what’s going on: The Carolina Panthers ‘bitch slapped’ the favored New York Giants 23-0 today; this is good. They go on to play the Chicago Bears next week in Chicago where the Bears beat the Panthers earlier this year in a very ugly game; this is bad. I got all the lettered pages for I AM SPARTACUS uploaded to the publisher today; this is good. I now have to try and find someone to write the short forward and I have no idea who to ask; this is bad. I have fifteen artists signed up for my new super secret project; this is good. I still need five more artists; this is bad. Tuesday my air hockey table gets delivered; this is good. Some assembly required; this is bad. 30 Days of Night: Dead Space comes out this month; this is good. I have to go to work tomorrow; this is ALWAYS bad.

I’ve been feeling very creative of late, which is a huge improvement over November and December where I felt totally stymied. I’m also itching to get my camera out. I’ve been talking to this great model named Natali Demore who has access to a location I can rent and that has been my stumbling block since I moved. No place to shoot and the studio I would rent closed so the could move but haven’t re-opened and it’s been six-months. So the idea of getting back to work on my next photo book is very exciting.

That’s going to be the update for today; hopefully I’ll get to do another before a week passes. So my fingers are crossed for the Panthers going to Chicago… I’m really pulling for a Carolina/Denver Super Bowl. My brother is a huge Broncos fan and I can’t wait until one of the announcers uses the “Two Jakes” line. But that’s a long way off; one win at a time baby.
