So the last time I posted here I'd gotten back from London and was updating my website - www.the12s.com - it looks freakin' awesome, so, what have I done since?
Been back to London one more time, went to the Birmingham ComicCon, a wedding, a dedication... got sick...
And I've been curating/editing a book - more info here - the12s.blogspot.com/
It's something, organizing 50+ creators, writers and artists to produce a common theme. I woke up one day and decided to stop chasing and start running.
AND... I've started pencilling something else for something else, and I have some more pics in the pipeline for DeviantArt. So cool.

YOUR WORTH AS AN ARTIST (author unknown.)
"Every day, there are more and more Craigs List posts seeking "artists" for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of
some form of illustrative service.
But what they're NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.
To those who are "seeking artists", let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? A dozen? Five? One? …none?
More than likely, you don't know any. Otherwise, you wouldn't be posting on craigslist to find them.
And this is not rea
Pick Two.
Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two.
If it's fast and cheap it wont be good.
If it's cheap and good it won't be fast.

'The Project I Cannot Talk About'
So now I can talk about it, as it isn't happening. It was "Dodge & Twist" with Tony Lee. Tony is adapting it into a prose novel instead, as he and the publisher couldn't really get behind any one person to draw it. Which is why the artwork is now here on my DA site.
Also, still working on "Lucky Town", a new post-Steampunk 'thing' which I have posted 2 pages of here. Art Mecha, anyone? And speaking of Steampunk, also chugging away at something for Zuda. "Neverland" is still dithering around in the shallows. "WORK!" ... I need to get on the horse with that.'
In other news, job interviews, yes. Unemployment cheque? Coming to the thin end of t
FUCK SPEC, FUCK CONTESTS. Well, fuck me.
So, in various places online - my Blog, my website, even here, I've made various comments about not doing Spec work. Not submitting to contests, that kind of thing.
Well, in the last couple of weeks I've seen a job offer that requested Spec work turn into a "contest" - which is what Spec work IS, essentially.
For those slow on the curve, Spec is short for Speculative Work - work you do for a potential employer because obviously the work in your portfolio is pointless and not a representation of what you can do. It's a piece of work you do for free, and you may or not get the job.
