so here I am in awesome North Carolina working with Bryan Lee O’Malley and Hope Larson. Its pretty much the best and I’m seeing what the life is really like (its clear to me now that I can pretty much say goodbye to friends) but its great. Any of you who are fans of Scott Pilgrim (are they making a movie? yes, and Michael Sera will star, blah blah) and Salamander Dream/Grey Horses will pretty much be super jealous of the things I’ve seen and done since I got here. Joel, can tell you all about it because he came to visit me last weekend and it was awesome. ANYWAY, what I really am posting about (sorry no art or pictures) is this horrible thing that got passed to us a few days ago:

TokyoPop’s Shining Stars of Manga Contest Contract/Pact/Whatever
PLEASE DON’T READ THIS IF YOU STILL THINK A LIFE OF ART IS PUPPIES AND RAINBOWS

Im not gonna talk about how awful and wrong this thing is and how its pretty much ruining comics for anyone, because we pretty much speant the whole day yesterday doing just that AND Bryan did a much better job using direct quotes on his livejournal:

destroyerzooey: a statement
PLEASE DO READ THIS

also, the comments on the page are getting ridiculous.

PS Im working on this really cool project for my site that I think can be a really cool community building/fun for you project
