Busy busy.

It's been a busy time hence my blog inertia.
When last I wrote we were in the midst of a frantic search for a penciller. Happily since then the very talented pencil squeezer Mr Andy Blundell has been signed up, had his ego massaged and been inducted into the gruelling work schedule of the Pianofreakz comic world. At this stage we're up to page thirteen of pencils and awaiting the colours being daubed about the place.
We also have a very exciting proposition for our cover art which I'm not at liberty to divulge as yet but all in all we are moving at breakneck speed for a fiscally-challenged indie creation and as we scale the dizzying heights of pre-production several members have had nose bleeds and tantrums. Having finished most of the year one scripts and now being absorbed by the management side of things I feel at times more like a nanny than a creator.
All in all though nothing can dampen the mood of optimism and satisfaction felt by all as this comes together like a snowball bouncing down the alps, gathering speed and momentum on a scale which can be at times be both frightening and inspiring.
Highlight of the week was however non-comics related but playing some of my original compositions at the London Jazz Festival with the LJC large ensemble.
So I sit here straddling mediums (Although sadly not of the Jennifer Love-Hewitt persuasion) I feel very much a content but fraught and bleary-eyed sleep-deprived being.
So until Marvel kill off Pete and MJ's marriage and wreck the best decade of Spidey for ages make mine......oh hang on. Make mine mine. (I know it's not topical but I'm still angry)
