2010: Something Every Day (001, 002)

I'm going to try to produce something every day in 2010. If I can't write a song, I'll paint a painting. If I can't finish a painting, I'll do a small drawing. As long as I have something to prove I was creative and productive in some way, every day for a year. Not for some quantity over quality bullshit, just a way to make sure I stay on task, and not piss any days away doing absolutely nothing. Wish me luck, fucks.

I decided to post my progress here just today, so I'm a couple days behind. Here's what I've got so far:

0125 - Recognition (My Cookie)

Some friends of mine were nice enough to write about me and my music/art in their blogs. A Ragtag Group Of Mediaphiles included the Clear Days Always album "Savages" in their March Music Wrap-Up (HERE), and The Eureka Flag, a blog by A Paschal Circus, dedicated a whole post to me and my thang (HERE). It all makes me warm and fuzzy. Thank you, guys.

My band Spit For Athena is playing in Chicago with a band called The Code Kids. I was asked by the venue to make a flyer for the show. I was going to start by writing the band names, but I fucked up and made "The Code Kids" too enormous, leaving little room for anything else. I'm an idiot like that. Anyways, I decided to make it a Code Kids poster. I don't know these guys...just made them a poster. Meanwhile, there's tons of stuff piled up around my room that I'm supposed to finish, and here I am making posters for bands I don't know. Awesome, Levi. Awesome. Gonna go work on that flyer for the show now. EDIT: Whoops. Just heard from The Code Kids on MySpace. I was going to link them to this entry, show them the poster...and they'd already sent me a message telling me they've commissioned a professional artist to do a flyer for the show. Ha. Well. Wires get crossed, I guess. At least I found out before I made some lame-ass flyer that they'd have to politely tell me to please get rid of. Ha. Yeah. I'm going to go eat some peanut butter.

Hey. My new comic book, OAT CRACKS, is now available for $10.00 from Self-Satisfied. Full-color, 20-some pages (I can't remember how many pages. It's over 20. Okay?). Good stuff. Alrighty.
