This Is The Face of My Mental Illness

I took this picture of myself at the end of a day I spent in bed, scared and crying, feeling alone and hopeless and completely desperate.

This is the face of my mental illness. This is the face of my sadness when it is at its most inexplicable and its most pronounced.

I am not ashamed of it.

Overcome Your Programming And Be A Better Man

When I was a freshman in high school, I made a series of battle plans along with my older brother and his friends that detailed how we’d take out our entire school once we obtained guns and bombs.

This happened while huddled over my dining room table, and it was funny. We drew blueprints. We made maps. We organized lists of ammunition and inventory and all the different things we’d need to make our military raiding of our own school a success. We figured we’d all have cyanide pills to take ourselves out before we got arrested. We knew we had to take over the nurse’s office first – it’s where all the medical supplies were and it also had no windows, which made it a perfect place for our final showdown when we were inevitably backed in by police as we burned out in a blaze of glory in our bold last stand.

But seriously, some news on Nowhere Men? Any news?

Art on the seventh issue hasn’t been completed and we have no news.

As long as a seventh issue is in the works, that's all the news I need.

The past is a grotesque animal.

Heroes are primary colors. Villains are secondary colors. These are things you need to know.

Do you have any tips for pitching a creator-owned comic at a con? Synopsis is made as well as the first few completed pages.

I usually try to couch my answers to advice questions — to ‘keep it in the “i”’ as they say in certain rooms — but this is the one time i won’t:

Don’t. meet editors at cons. Shake hands, get cards, get the fuck away from the booth. If you see ‘em at a bar, buy a round. Because nobody’s reading anything at a con and — dirty secret time — everybody spends a long five minutes the day their plane leaves with the hotel room garbage can, sifting through whatever they were given at shows, trying to decide what weight is worth lugging back to fuckknows and what shall not be leaving the la quinta. Don’t pitch at shows. Meet people. Have a conversation. Is this the right place for you? Is yours right for that place? Are these people you could work with? Do they HAVE a sub. policy already? Don’t be hungry at shows. Be human. Say hi.

Then send the pitch on monday.
