Exquisite Idols pt. II

So, after a lot of jobs and things cleared up i finally got a chance to finish the inks on the album cover i am doing for The North Sea. I have literally spent over a week on and off doing the inks on this, and then had to scan it in 16 different sections to get everything on. Needless to say, i am now glad to have it on photoshop. I am hoping to have the colors finished by tomorrow evening.

Speaking of pain staking scanning, i was recently informed by Brian Hurtt that there was a CHEAP a3 scanner on amazon. After doing a little research, i learned that it wouldn't work on anything past OS 9. To be quite honest, i was extremely disappointed. A large flatbed would make my life a whole lot easier these days. At some point i will probably convince that dropping 500+ on a large flatbed is well worth it...but until then i am stuck spending half an hour to scan ANYTHING.

Some of you may have noticed that someone has totally ass-raped ghostco.blogspot.org (i am not linking it for the safety of idiots). I reported it to blogger, but have heard no word as of yet. So my apologies to anyone who got screwed with because of this. Hopefully things will be fixed soon.

I am basically ready to start updating my site....i just have to figure out how to do it. Hopefully Dan Pierce will come to my rescue as always. My html skills circa 1996 don't do me too much good for the most part when it comes to making things work the way i want them to.

We signed up for blockbuster online, and i am just in heaven. Dead Alive was everything i have been hoping for for years and more. We may be watching Project Grizzly tonight with some people, fueled by Rachel's love for Timothy Treadwell and everything bears. Maybe i will finally get a chance to see Hellraiser and all those other awful movies that i never happened to see at 3 in the morning on WGN.

And speaking of, what the fuck is up with all the "amazing" movies coming out? Ghost Rider? The Host? Transformers? Zodiac? Grindhouse? Fantastic Four: Rise of Silver Surfer? Spider-man 3? 300? TMNT? It's like all my childhood fantasies coming through...mixed with zombies and bronze age warfare.
