My anthology is finally available!

Posted inComics & Graphic Novels, Works by Eric
PITCHED! IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE! I've done a lot of blogging about it already, so by now you know the drill. I got together with 10 artists and wrote nine stories. Collected them into an anthology. Possibly the first of several volumes. And now it is available for purchase through this handy link. So needless to say, I'm pretty happy about that. Time to start Volume 2 ...

GOAL: finish my novel by Dec. 31

Posted inWriting
Amid all these other projects, one of my goals this year was to finish the dystopian science fiction novel I've been working on. My progress has been unsteady, but it is moving forward. I'm roughly 25,000 words into it. But that's not far enough. I need to get the first draft finished by the end of this year. That's my personal goal. So I'm calling myself out. First draft finished before the end of the year. If I do not do that, I suck. That is my deadline. First draft, end of the year. Deadline. I am committed to doing…

Despite not really being a comic convention guy -- I don't shop for old comics, get sketches from the artists, or any of that other fun stuff -- I had a great time. That's because I accomplished my two primary missions. The first was to spend time with some great people.

If only because I'm kind of itchy to spend some time outdoors and take some more photos, especially now that the weather as cooled, I thought I'd share a few more. Click the images for much larger versions. This was taken in Treasure Island, Florida: This next one was taken at a Lakewood BlueClaws game. I've tried to give it obnoxious, arty names like "Man in field" and such, and then laughed at my stupid idea. And finally, "Waiting," at Tampa International. So…
Revisiting an old music collaboration

Revisiting an old music collaboration

Posted inMusic, Works by Eric
It's hard to believe that it's been four years since I made this first blog post. It's even harder to believe that it's been four years since Tim Granda and I spent a few woozy Thursday nights at his apartment in Red Bank, NJ recording the music mentioned in that post. Sadly, while those sessions created some awesome memories and solidified a good friendship, musically all that resulted were a few rough sketch ideas and two semi-finished songs. I hoped to finished at least a third before we were through, "Keep It On," heard here as two rough idea sketches,…
