This week has been fun. I hit some art shows on Sunday afternoon, and I've mostly just been playing around with work. Oh, wait, that's what I always do, ne? Chris, you should have your sketches, let me know which option you'd like to run with. And now, it's back to the drawing board...

Added to my list of things at which I will be playing hard before I hit the convention circuit: T-shirt design for Chris & co., and concept art for Dex Henley's upcoming graphic novel.
On a more serious note, in honor of the sacrifices made by reincarnates and non-reincarnates alike, Our True Selves (the Camelot Underground Web Comic) will now be launched into the mainstream, dedicated to Michael Morgan, and everyone else who has shed blood, sweat, and tears to end the reincarnate war.

Some days, I think the idea might not be so far fetched that the angels' perspective on the state of the world reflects that of humanity at large. That maybe the reason I have to fight so hard to "keep the faith" is because mankind has become apathetic and complacent, and have either rejected the idea of a god, or believe that if there is a god, he's long since left us to our own devices.
Or maybe I'm just human. |

Going over my list of "plot points" for the upcoming convention circuit. Who would have thought the angel of annunciation would be nervous about public speaking? Not that anyone--aside from myself--has placed the expectation on me to represent anything but my artwork, but hopefully in light of everything that's happened lately, I'll be able to give the reincarnate community a positive face.

Well, they say no publicity is bad publicity. The war may be "over," but a certain little underground web-comic has been getting a flood of hits lately. With hope, it will get people thinking, beyond mere escapism. I've just about got the next installment ready to go up, provided we want to continue the series? The plot thickens.

Well, what do you know. I have fans. Or, at least, my characters have fans. It looks like I have been invited to speak at a few anime conventions this coming spring and summer. Maybe even into the fall. I don't suppose we have any con-goers in the bunch, do we? Or artist/writers who'd like to connect while I am touring the states? Let me know. |

"i want to tell you something about me that you may see as a weakness. i need wonder. i know that death is coming. i smell it in the wind, read it in the paper, watch it on television, and see it on the faces of the old. i need wonder to explain what is going to happen to me, what us going to happen to us when this thing is done, when our shift is over and our kids' kids are still on the earth listening to their crazy rap music. i need something mysterious to happen to me when i die. i need to be somewhere else after i die, somewhere with god, somewhere that wouldn't make any sense if it were explained to me right now.
at the end of the day, when i am lying in bed, and i know the chances of any of our theology being exactly right are a million to one, i need to know that god has things figured out, that if my math is wrong we are still going to be okay. and wonder is that feeling we get when we let go of our silly little answers, our mapped out rules that we want god to follow. i don't think there is any better worship than wonder."

So it seems that I can't hide from the fallen; I might as well be who I am. Who's with me?

I'm not too sure about the latest concept that somebody pitched at the round-table this past week. I know that the warrior woman is no where near to being a new idea, but I wonder if this is just another case of fan-service. All we're missing is a brunette.
That and I wonder where they got some of their ideas. Is it just me or do those women look familiar? I guess that's what we call zeitgeist.
Been busy wrapping up old commissions, getting ready to launch a new series by the first of the year. That's about all I know. |

Deadline: The invisible, intangible boundary that one crosses at the risk of being shot. Yes, the angel still has to have a day job. Be good.

Watching The Crow kind of gives me deja vu.
Gabriel is not amused. |

I don't think I'll ever get used to that. Feeling people on the brink of slipping away. But it does feel good knowing that I helped to save at least one.

Elsa, I meant what I said. Unless I hear you say otherwise, I'm coming to see you before things get any worse.
Anyone else needs me--I'll keep my ears out. |

I may have an angel on my shoulder, but you hurt her, and I'll hunt you like a hound from hell.

So it's finally over.
Sorry I haven't bothered using the forum in a while--I've been too busy taking care of Michaela and helping out with the relief efforts. Oh! For those of you who haven't met Michaela, she's the little girl I've been in process of adopting for the past year. She's twelve and a half, and she's well on her way to making a full recovery from the injuries sustained in the blast that took her parents. She thinks it's the coolest thing in the world that, because my birthday is on leap-year-day, I've only had as many birthdays as she has. She also likes to pretend she'll be older than me, on her next birthday; I don't think she believes I'm really fifty years old. Some days I'm not sure I believe it either.
Oh, and Fred, if you can read this...I'm still here. |

| oh brother, where art thou? |

He's gone?
Castiel is gone. I can barely feel him anymore.
He's shut himself down...
Closed himself off from this God-forsaking world, so he won't have to feel anything. Just like all the others.
Am I..?
I'm the last one. I'm always the last one, everywhere He sends me.
God damn it. |

The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time." Luke 1: 19-20
Aren't you glad I don't go around doing that anymore. Or maybe I should. Teach anyone to argue with me revelation. |

God. Do these people know nothing?
Maybe this is how Christ felt when he walked the earth.
So blasphemous of me, I know. Suck it.
Whatever. |

So today, someone in art direction approached me and asked, "Zen, everyone wants to know: why do all your female leads in the past two years look so much alike?"
( Like this. )
I know she wouldn't look like that anymore, even if she were here, but I can't seem to stop drawing her. |
