All puns aside, I feel like an old man. Granted, I'm in my thirties, which is ancient by some standards, (miserable young punks!) but sometimes it feels like I've got the mentality of a 60 year old.
I can't be the only one who doesn't want to learn a bunch of new software, right?
Fortunately, this distaste for expanding my horizons is fairly limited to technology. Books are still fascinating, as well as "educational" TV shows.
As the so-called head of Manic Repressive I am responsible for keeping up with the website, all the marketing, licensing, and production stuff, which all leads to learning more and keeping myself closed up in my little world of doing-nothing-but-drawing, less.
Which, sigh, is good for me. Just like vegetables. But I still feel the need to fuss.
Wah, wah, I don't wanna learn anymore web based software.
There you have it.

Hello Cyber Peeps!
I've just been introduced to the blog and now have a much easier time slapping down anything I think of, if I like.
I'd like to update you all since we don't seem to be putting alot on our website nowadays.
We are, in fact, crazy busy with artwork. I've decided to give Seven a narrative art try. That is, I am drawing up some comic pages for the first chapter in the story: Gluttony. Then I want to move into drawing up a short story, Opus 3, dealing with a fantasy type world. Joe is drawing up Khozos: Chapter 1 and will move quickly onto Chapter 2. We want to get the artwork completed before October 2009. Then we'll be digitizing, coloring, and preparing for production. The beginning of 2010 will be the roll out of these comics, stories, and a webcomic that we'll be hiring someone else to draw (based on the world of Khozos). So, though the website may be a bit barren for a few months we hope to have a great deal to show for our quietude come January. Currently we are both 1/2 way through our respective stories.

The NEW news
Hello, you who probably aren't seeing this. I'm putting down this post, just to have something here.
Over the next few days I'm going to try and bring the old Manic Repressive news posts over to the new format. Not sure how, but boy do I love learning new things...man.
From now on, this will be where we share all things Manic Repressive with you the world-wide web. Expect more frequent postings now that we have an easier template to update.
When not trying to totally redesign the MR website, I'm drawing the first installment of Khozos, our new space fantasy comic book. Should be finished drawing & inking in July sometime. Then on to drawing the next while coloring & lettering the first. I'm a regular one-man gang, without all the old wrestling moves.

June Updates
No wild changes to the site this month. Now that we're back from the Licensing show we're in full-on production mode.
You can check out new art from both of us in the Licensing section from the galleries home page.
Issue #1 of Khozos is slated to be finished by September as well as most of issue #2. Not to mention a separate Khozos web comic with totally different content.
A fully illustrated version of Seven is being worked on too. Those of you who liked the first chapter posted here in May '08 will be in for a treat!

May News
Licensing show in TWO WEEKS! Oof. Expect to be watching the Khozos cartoon while wearing your Seven T-shirts, drinking soda from your Opus 3 mugs soon.
We know you're wondering where the "expletive" is the store front so oft hyped. Joe is a slacking slacker, that's where. But next month it'll be up. We know you're tired of not being able to throw your money at us, its something we all have in common :)

Big changes to the site this month if you haven't noticed yet.
The button for Con Carne is now off the home page. Sigh. We'll miss our short lived convention.
Those of you from the Licensing industry can go to the licensing specific pages here.
The Licensing show has really lit a fire under our collective behinds. Thanks, I guess.
