veronical.

so this new fancy version of blogspot is kind of cool. the upload is clunky, but the imaging editing afterwards is pretty cool. you know what else would be cool? if I COULD GET RID OF ALL THIS SPAM THAT ATTACKS MY BLOG EVERY FUCKING DAY. seriously, it's ridiculous. not even captcha works. it's getting to the point where i'm considering disabling the comments. plus, i just don't feel like removing the spam anymore. the spam terrorists have won.

anyway, where was i? oh yeah...

so i screwed my back up last weekend and then i started this drawing. but after an hour of sitting at my drawing table, it made my back worse, so i didn't get to finish it even though these little drawings don't generally take more than a couple hours. it was sitting there, on the table, taunting me for several days. and then i started to get really bummed out because i haven't really drawn anything in a couple weeks. i don't feel productive as it is (no sympathy, i'm mostly to blame here). also, i was off of work for the entire week, with the aforementioned back problem and even though my work recommended that i stay home for a few days, it doesn't look like they're going to pay me. so, what i'm getting at here is: if you want to buy this drawing it's going to be $200. ha ha. just kidding. no i'm not. okay, yes i am. but not really. etc.

but, what i wanted to say here was: i kind of feel like i've reached a plateau with these portraits, just more wheel spinning, really. i've wanted to do the veronica lake for awhile, but i don't think i'm going anywhere with them now. i know, i say this all the time. ignore me, ignore me.

if you were wondering (someone must be, i'm sure), i've sold about 2/3 of the DOODLE ATTACK print run (most of it in the first week). shocking, really. but just so you know, as soon as i'm through with the 100, i'm never reprinting them.
