Opportunities

I’ve set the music practice largely aside for the moment, because I am doing some other creative things. To be precise, I’m producing two audiobooks at the same time. One is about intermittent fasting. The other is about ghosts. It’s a lot of work, so I don’t feel guilty – although I do wish I were on set at the moment.

I’ve also doubled down on getting Akashik done while I can. I wanted to have Chapter One finished by now, but things are as they are. I do have updates at the website scheduled in advance (http://www.akashikonline.com) but I’d be happier if I could get the chapter done. Then I shall offer it for sale, and perhaps sales will help pay for the website. Maybe.

Sometimes a panel in Akashik comes out looking so nice, I end up taking that opportunity to make something else out of it. Something that goes along with the comic. Today I was so happy with a panel, I’ve decided to make a desktop #wallpaper out of it.

I tend to give the wallpapers away for free, sort of. Depending on what’s going on, they either start out as a reward for voting the webcomic up in the polls or carefully placed in the Hammerspace (which no one seems to visit) to be downloaded for free.

Either way I’m pleased with the artwork.

Convention Craziness

I just returned from ARCHON St. Louis #43 last Monday. What a wonderful time. I got to hang with other musicians, talk to fans, and play a song on stage. (House of the Rising Sun of course.)

The result to dealing with a convention is that Akashik has gotten away from me due to time issues. I actually wanted to have chapter 1 done by now but things are as they are. I have a final thing to do this weekend and then I’m getting back on track.

I was supposed to have a table at Midsouthcon last year but unforeseen drama stopped that. I have applied to try again and hope they don’t decide I’m too old like so many fan cons are doing these days. In the meantime I’m also supposed to go to Chambanacon on Thanksgiving weekend – but I am mainly going to that for the music, to act as a volunteer, and to put some of my things in the art show.

I also just finished filming on another movie. This one is called Dark Threat and it’s a vampire movie. I’m interested to see how it turned out. I’m not looking too hard for the next gig just yet but maybe soon.

I hope you’re enjoying Akashik as it unfolds! Please drop me a line and let me know you’re reading.
