Day 661 of 365 More.

This is a story of hope. A very short story because I am watching the game.

I’m not a huge hockey fan (not like football), but I do enjoy it. And when I watch, I root for the Pittsburgh Penguins. As I’ve mentioned in previous recent shots, the Pens are currently in the Stanley Cup Finals. And they haven’t been doing well. in a best of 7 series they are down 3 games to 1. Win or go home.

Tonight, they were down 3-2. The fans were singing victory songs in the final minute. Steph and I were on the edge of our seats just hoping and hoping.

With less than 35 seconds of regulation play, 35 seconds away from a world chamipionship, the Detroit Redwings gave up a goal.

At this very moment, we our now in overtime (took this shot during the break).

Keep hope alive!

It was a rare night at home when I wasn’t overwhelmed with working on Cosmic Hellcats so I decided to spend the evening working on my backlog of photoshoots to edit. This is Leia who posed for the Four of Cups in my tarot deck. I took plenty of extra shots of her, so it’s about time I started posting some.

Day 653 of 365 More.

Long long long day. And yet I don’t really have an interesting story. Memorial Day means I got a much needed three day weekend. Celebrated it in the traditional American memorial day celebration technique. I slept in til almost noon. Thank God too, I needed it.

After that, I got things together to do barbecue for a bunch of friends. First BBQ of the year, and it always reminds me, "wow, I really am a great cook." Sometimes, when I don’t have time that often, what with the hustle and bustle of life, I kinda forget that.

People hung out for a while and then left so Steph and I settled in for some quality TV watching. The second game of the Stanley Cup was tonight and, well, moving on…

New podcast is up. Check it out. It’s the exciting episode of Stephen and my mother trying to embarass me by showing kid pictures of me. Luckily I was a damn cute child. Enjoy.

Day 650 of 365 More.

Well, I guess I’m getting a little better. Now great, but getting there.

Did some more drawing today. I’m still not comfortable to the point where I feel like I can do a whole comic, but maybe I’ll get there.

In the meantime, if you haven’t been checking out our comic, please do, and let me know what you think. Max and I update the comic ever Monday and Thursday, so a new episode went up this morning.

And if you like to draw and you want to take a shot at drawing one of the girls, by all means do so and send it to feedback@cosmichellcats.com. We have a fan art section that just doesn’t have enough stuff there yet, so I’d like to fill it out some.

Blah, it’s only 1:30am. Maybe I’ll go to sleep early for once.

Day 638 of 365 More.

Spent the day coloring the next episode of Hellcats. It’s not due up til Monday, so I’m ahead of schedule. Woohoo. If I can get Thursday’s episode done tomorrow, I’ll be in really good shape.

After I filmed the 365 Days podcast with Stephen and I tried to figure out what shot to do for today. Steph was watching Law and Order: Criminally Bad Acting. The suspect was a writer. They were looking at his headshot, ad they determined he was an author because of the pic. Why? Because he had his fist under his chin and "all authors do that, it hides the double chin." I thought about it for a moment, and they were actually write. That is totally the classic author pose. So I had my picture for today.

There, I’m a real author now. Now all I have to do is be seduced into a threesome by a homicidal lesbian madame and one of her callgirls and then framed for the murder of the callgirl by said madame and feel so distraught that I hang myself in my cell, after failing to do so twice. God that show is really bad.

Edited a couple Tarot Cards tonight. The first in a long time. Check them out.

Day 628 of 365 More. And on the 628th day, he rested…. I’m awake, really… but only barely. I had intended to work on quite a few things for the Cosmic Hellcats site today after work. Intended to. Instead, after dinner I sat down and fell asleep. Steph tells me she tried to wake me…

So tomorrow is Sarah‘s birthday. Since I’ve been way too busy to edit shots lately, I decided to take some time tonight to finish up the last of the shots from her photoshoot with Starr.

Hopefully she thinks they’re as hot as I do.

Happy Birthday, luv.

Decided to take a break from being a cartoonist last night to return to being a photographer. Cosmic Hellcats has taken up so much of my time lately that I am WAY behind on editting photos from shoots.

I got some encouragement from CERTAIN people – one of whom might actually be in these pictures, and might even be a Hellcat herself, but I don’t want to name names – that it might be nice to see some more from the series, and so I thought I’d post these.

Hmmm…. Maybe Starr would make a nice Hellcat too, in case one of the current ones ever got killed off…

I’m kidding, Sarah. 🙂 Maybe she could be on one of the other teams though. Hmmm…

More to come, of course… you know, when I get to it again….
