PRACTICE CONT.

Okay. I haven't posted too much this past weekend because I have been working on a large Design project for my Church (LifePoint Church) and I don't know if I can post the sketches. Also, I have been working on Kevin Leigh Watkins and I's comic too, and I can't post the sketches yet either.

Yesterday was awesome for me. I worked out (which I rarely make time to do), studied the first four chapters of Matthew which I've read a bunch of times but it still was challenging to me, and Paige, Patrick and I had some old school bating practice at the part by the neighborhood pool. We tried to go swimming afterwards but sadly we were refused entry because we are not members.

Check this out. This completely blew my mind. On Saturday Kevin Leigh Watkins and I were having a meeting about our graphic novel project. Before the meeting we ran a few arrands and hung out. Apparantly Kevin knows everyone and their mother in Springfield and we stopped by his friend's house to check on him because he recently moved because of flood damage. His friend's name is Dan and Dan used to own a local comic book store in town.

He was very nice and gas us a tour of the new home. As we were there he showed us some original comic art pieces from Philip Tan, Mike Hoffman, Rick Burcham, and Ed Benes. I'm talking the original board that is turned in to be printed. Amazing stuff. He had sweet commisions from these artists as well. Mind blowing stuff.

Over the last day or so I have had my nose in the new "Astonishing X-Men" graphic Novel. The writing is incredible. There are twists and turns around every page and the characters are nailed to a tee when it comes to dialogue and action. I have also been reading "Y The Last Man." Very intriging. I recommend both of these.
