not making excuses, slow grind, soon turn to fast wine

yeah the book could have been done, and should have been finished by now but just two days ago, a piece of my past resurfaced right in time for the rewrite i was doing on a particular chapter i don’t believe in coincidences so yeah, it’s taking me a while, but at least i haven’t [...]

…but of course, you are African.

Peace. Salaam alaykum. Hello interwebz, I haven’t forgotten you. China was a blur, and I couldn’t break down the great firewall to keep you up to date on my travels. See my FB page for pics if you’d like. Egypt has no such walls in place and in fact, from what I have heard, is [...]

Wow that actually worked!

Greetings from the far East! I’m out here in that coke white, that China, China. Thought I’d see if this new proxy I’m using would let me get onto wordpress. And it does. I already wrote this “wow it actually worked post” and it got lost because, well as it turns out the proxy won’t [...]

Creative Team

Key word: create. It’s what we artists do. I recently reminded myself of this and started doodling in my sketchbook again. Two years ago I purchased a book entitled “How to Self-Publish Comics…Not Just Create Them” by Josh Blaylock.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Black Ty Affairs will feature an interactive look at my life. Pictures and eventually video of my life in my room (rated pg!) is what I hope to use to make my blog cool. Still haven’t finished that collage image for the page header. I’m thinking that it will change pretty often – kinda [...]

Self-Construction

I always say that “we are all the same because we are all different”. I don’t think I stole that from anyone. Who knows? We are not just one thing, but a plethora of many things. I am currently constructing a collage-type image in photoshop that I think embodies some of the major parts of myself [...]
