Well, I am finally releasing something new again this upcoming week. It isn't a SpaceCat zine, unfortunately. But, I am working on that too. It is noise, not rock music. So, if you aren't into harsh experimental stuff this may not be your kinda thing. The title is "Pornolocaust" by Mike Damn Nobody & Grinding Deviance. It will be available on RecycleTape and digital download formats from my Bandcamp page. Downloads are whatever price you think is fair, even if it is zero. I don't mind. I had to remove one track because it was TOO LOUD to successfully upload. Wow!
​Making noise tapes allows me to use material that I didn't think would work on a typical Mike Nobody release. So, instead of throwing perfectly good, although incomplete, recordings away I can stick them there. This is part of the creative process that I am trying to adhere to. The perfectionist side of my personality needs to go sit in the corner for awhile and let me and my chaotic side work. "Done is better than perfect."
I usually need a push from someone else to get going. But, social anxiety and stressing out about other everyday shit grinds it all to a halt. Having a measurable timeline or schedule helps me to focus, as long as I don't force it or become too negative with myself. I am trying to break my projects down into smaller bits, working on them one-piece-at-a-time instead of taking it all on at once...alone. I've gotta find some internal balance here, somehow. Mind you, I have tried to maintain a schedule before. I have made plans in the past that just totally fell through. Everyone got pissed at me. It wasn't always my fault. But, NO ONE CARES. They only want results. So, I am keeping those details to myself. You will see my stuff when it is ready. Anyway, you should be getting more messages from me if I can keep this up, while I'm still on a roll. So, "Haste Ye Back" guys!

I received a hard copy of the comic book I contributed to, finally. It is called Heartman and was written & published by David Leibe Hart, of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! He invited 48 artists, including myself, to illustrate his story.
Heartman, starring David as the superhero who, along with his sidekick Chip, must save the universe from his evil nemesis Dr. Pain. Every one of the 46 glossy, full-color pages of Heartman was illustrated by a different artist (including David himself), giving the surreal storyline a fittingly unpredictable and exciting look. Each copy is SIGNED by David himself and includes a pinup poster of David’s Heartman canvas painting. $12. Sold by David, himself, on his website. http://ArtByLiebeHart.com |
