We now have a replacement webcam, and it works with the laptop. Sarah's set things up for the technical side of things but I have to figure out where I can physically set the webcam up and do whatever it is I'm going to do with it and all that. We're going to try a small test to see if things work, hopefully within the next few days. I'm really clumsy with even the most basic technology so it might be a bumpy ride. 

I thought I'd ask what would be an ideal time to do this for those who are interested in participating. Obviously we're all on strange schedules these days. But feel free to chime in and let me know what's good for you out there, and see what that leads to. 

Also, let me know if there's anything you're interested in covering on a livestream. Drawing, showing off old work, discussing old scripts or pages or comics of mine, looking through work by other people, weeping openly, summoning Nyarlathotep..? Maybe I can show off stuff that's sitting around, sketchbook doodles. I don't know!

I have to admit I'm uncomfortable drawing in front of people, but we'll see what happens, The distancing effect might help a lot. it's worth a shot. I just wouldn't work on someone's commission or a page of something for fear of screwing up. I was thinking of doing a character rundown on the Marvel villains piece after I finally finish. That could be good for a few nerd laughs. I can see my "process" revealed, making endless mistakes, worrying over petty details, letting the OCD overrule common sense, erasing everything or tearing up the paper, placing my head down on the drawing table, cursing my life, crying. Starting over again, repeating...the process.

Hope you're all healthy, and coping all right. Thanks to everyone sticking it out here through April. Things are pretty overwhelming, and I'm still dealing with pain issues and trying to get as much paying work done and invoiced before windows shut on more projects (and who knows what will happen to payments with Diamond's announcement of not paying suppliers, cripes all mighty) but I want to try to post more often and get the PDFs and art cards out (one problem with the latter is I found out I'm not supposed to offer anything in that particular manner on this platform. So, I'll figure that one out in a way that's appropriate, if possible).  

Work-wise, I turned in the first script for the project I can't mention the name of. Sarah finished coloring the second cover, and I'm outlining the next issue. Fingers crossed we don't get the pencils down call. We'll see how it goes. Everyone's going to get hit by this. Well, plain folks will, and that's most of the comics industry.

I'd love to watch you draw, but if you're not comfortable that's no problem. The rundown of the villains piece would be cool, or commentary on something you've worked on. I'm always interested in more Calla Cthulhu related things.

Anything really E! Obv. We’d all like to see you draw but even you waving to the camera would be a thumbs up for me...just hope the timings are uk Friendly or recorded for playback later perhaps.

Matthew Wang

Wang (That's me) would like a detailed review on the Shaw Brothers films from 1981.

Will Mason

Having zero artistic ability myself, I'd love to see the process, however much you're comfortable doing. Time-wise, evenings work best personally. Our little one goes to bed around 8, and these days my wife and I stare at the wall for a couple of hours before crashing ourselves to do it all over again.

Eric Webb

East coast time but whatever. I’d be interested in script development and rewrites, although I guess that’s a pretty boring visual vice illustration stuff.

Randal Eaglebauer

I kinda like hearing you shoot the shit about what you've read or seen. Or even just stories about the old days at Jim Hanley or working on SGC2C.

Evan Dorkin

Sounds good. I think one way it will work is there will be a chat going on and I can respond to questions.

Evan Dorkin

I'm looking into posting PDFs of script revisions and versions for folks who are into that. I find talking about writing easier than drawing, to be honest. Any talks I am asked to give at art schools tend to turn into cartooning-as-writing sessions. So I would be happy to field questions about that as well.

Evan Dorkin

I wouldn't be surprised if it was an evening thing. Or I vary the times. I think they can be archived, as well.

Evan Dorkin

I'm thinking they'll be available to replay according to what Sarah tells me. Also, I could always do a crazy-hours session for insomniacs and the U.K. I'm often up that late. We'll see. We're going to do a test asap.

Evan Dorkin

I'm going to do soem drawing for sure, I just need to remind myself I'm not supposed to be doing perfect, finished work. Maybe some time down the road I'll feel able to hunker down and work on people's commissions or pages, but not right off the bat. I'll be nervous! And I do want to do the villains piece as a talk because it's just a lot of fun memories about oddball characters and childhood and buying comics. I think that could be fun. Thanks for wanting to hear about Calla, I sure hope that's something we can revive. We had a lot of plans.
