January 28th, 2010 | by T. AndrewWell, it took longer than I should probably admit to get an acceptable likeness, this is from last night’s speech.

I really don’t mean to slam the entire industry of home improvement service providers for the miscalculations of one individual, but it gets under my skin being in a deadline-driven field myself.

Happy New Year! Time to look at last year’s post and see how I fared: Create ashcan sample of original graphic novel. Attend NY Comic-Con to assess market.
