Or go back to bed for a nap. I know which I’d rather do.
This week the plan is:
Mon – pencil a page, pencil and ink and letter a terran omega page. Go for a run.
Tues – ink 2 pages
Wed – ink 2 pages
Thur – ink 2 pages
Fri – Ink 2 pages
Sat – ink 1 page, colour 1 page of terran omega
Sun – ink 1 page, pencil ink and letter terran omega page 23
I gotta be honest, I don’t fancy my chances.
Oh, I started work on the Terran Omega Cover… This will be a journey, I’ve already about six versions of this damn thing.
This is what I currently thing looks best (thanks to some input from Pye Parr, one of the greatest designers of books/comics oft he 21st century and very much under looked)
Tron vs Mitchells vs The Machines
I tried with Tron: Legacy. I really did. I think I remember watching it at the time and not being terribly impressed, deaging cgi just sucks very very hard. But with the distance of 16 years I thought, maybe it’ll be better. Readers, it was not better. In fact there’s a point where Flynn’s son is stood on some sort of metal beam on top of a building where a puffy overweight security guard (who by rights would’ve taken one look at that beam and gone “sod this for a game of soldiers” ) got up on the beam only for Flynn’s son to reveal “hey I’m the major shareholder” and then he sort of jumps off the beam with his parachute ready to open and I just thought “this film has watched too much the matrix and Batman Begins”.
So I turned it off, and switched on The Mitchells vs The Machines, which is a much much better film. Would recommend it. Funny, great animation, and real heart.
Yesterday in Social Media
Not much to report in the world of social media aside from oh-my-god-America-is-slipping-into-a-civil-war but, fellow Belfastian Phil Boyce has been maintaining a blog on the British comic Oink for longer than the comic was in print, and yesterday he posted:
On this day in 1994 in no.8 of Jurassic Park it was the back up strip that caught my eye! Originally published in b&w, Mark Schultz’s Xenozoic Tales was coloured for the UK by Steve White. What an incredible job he did! You can check out more in the full review from 2022 on the OiNK Blog. 🚗🦖🖌️🐽

Right, that’s all. It’s Monday and I need a nap.
