I Just Can't Face Myself Alone Again
Spent a good part of today working on this as a tattoo for a friend. I had about 70 pictures of water towers, but none of them really struck me as interesting. Ended up 90% of this thing out of my head, and nearly killing myself in the process. No wonder Brian Wood barely ever draws his own comics anymore...this urban shit is hell to draw. And while this pales in comparison to my last drawing , I have at least remembered why I loved ink so much.Two days before I leave and there is so much to do. Have to go out to Lincoln Square tomorrow to get razors, because I am tired of nearly gnawing my face off daily with Walgreen's generic double edged. Hopefully they will also end up carrying a mustache wax that doesn't melt when it is snowing (or when someone kicks snow in your face).
I am hungry, thirsty and tired. I am still recovering from my multi-week "hell week". Going to Indiana is going to be a well needed (and hopefully deserved) break. And the first thing I plan on doing when I get back is to update this whole website, as well as finish some long-over due projects for myself (and yes, that includes the ectoplasm drawing).
I have become completely obsessed with the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Tortoise's cover of Springsteen's "Thunder Road".

I still hope writing to me appears on 'the long-over due projects' list of yours.
i would put it on my christmas list although i keep in mind the shadowgate story.
oh my god, matthew. I just thought after a long time of not checking your blog, that your blog was at www.ghostco.blogspot.com .
NOW READ THIS BLOG, knowing that I did, thinking, hmm, matthew changed his layout... hmm... matthew changed his policy of using words... hmm...
At first I thought it was a joke and at that point it was like the funniest thing I'd ever read.
also, I don't think I could create work if it weren't for analog methods. I really need it to be a physical activity with the large possiblity I will do something stupid and fuck the entire thing up irreputably. Like knock my bottle of ink over or use a brush I know is not going to work.
we need updates!
