Okay, I have been all missing-in-action and stuff and sleep deprived, but with good reason! Lots of stuff has been going on in the world of the elusive butterfly of Vas. I am REALLY behind on my blog reading and phone calling, so if there is something major I need to know about, either email me or drop me a comment with revelant links or a summary of what's up. Thanks!

I have been getting some absolutely nice big print jobs for local and out of town clients. I finally feel like my little print shop here in Rice, MN, is finally going somewhere.
Misty and I went shopping on Saturday. It was loads of fun in spite of a horrible downpour and me forgetting to bring a means to pay for my groceries. D'oh!!! Naomi, my mom and I went out for lunch, zoo, art and conversation the previous week when it was actually less unpleasant outside. We had a nice breakfast with Loki's family yesterday.
While I am still waiting on word about the blog and film adaptation comics projects, I am currently in the midst of negotiating for the privilege of VAS Littlecrow illustrating its third book for Dybbuk Press. I am super-pumped about the art style we are going to take for this one, so I'll keep y'all posted.
Speaking of wheeling-dealing, am negotiating with LJ coverboy, incurable fiancé, soon-to-be-Brit, and Ace and Bog co-writer/lead artist alumnus, Nik Arnoldi, for the publishing rights of a SUPER SECRET project that I am sure his fans will be REALLY excited about. I cannot say what it's about. I can't show you anything. It's not even a for sure thing at this point. But, if we come to an agreement where all of us are happy, and if the VAS Littlecrow #2 and #3 come to a consensus, IT'S GOING TO KICK ROYAL ASS ON SEVERAL LEVELS!!! Trust me.
Speaking of Nik: Over the last five days, I implemented of really cool backend features that Mr. Arnoldi suggested I implement several months ago. I tested some of the changes that he proposed at KillerDyke.com. After enduring php coding hell and tinkering with the Modern template for Singapore by Ross Howard. Catnose.com, KillerDyke.com and RasputinCatamite.com, all have easier navigation, RSS feeds for individual galleries. The latter site has a completely different look (I did it for you Caylie!) Oh, and I also did a massive makeover for the Rasputin Barxotka site (which I won't link to here because, it's not suitable for ANYONE who isn't a completely sick mofo over the age of anything who doesn't get offended by ANYTHING.)
In regards to both Rasputin series, Loki and I finally decided what the overall sound of Upir's Mark will be like. WOOT! If all goes well, you will be able to download pseudo-Siberian industial-Asian-gore-rock in about six months! Fortunately, a groovy video vlog and some disgusting animation may come sooner.
On a the topic of inanimate objects being brought to life, I am now officially the Copier-Whisperer. I can figure out any problems my copier might have before looking at the error screen just by the sounds it makes. I know when my ~~expensive but, tax-deductible toy~~ Kyocera is about to run out of paper just by it's hums. Kiki and I really understand each other, and this is leading to a more harmonious relationship between homonid and automaton.
Someone narrowly escaped getting terminated from VL after I was able to separate ongoing personal and professional issues, and s/he actually taking ownership for the result of his/her and correcting the mess s/he created as much as possible, restoring professional operations, and letting me know what the deal was. To my amazement, this individual succeeded in convincing me that s/he was not a total cockmaster/cuntmistress by... um.. being professional, putting the ego aside and gee actually comprehending the consequences and taking responsibility for being a gossipy dick/bitch in the personal arena. I'm not going to be their best friend or even trust him/her too much, but at least we can work together without me ripping out throats in a fit of rage and this person going into fetal position and singing, "LA LA LA!!!" Thank you person for growing the balls necessary to actually communicate what the hell was going on with your ass. Sometimes, confession is the best way to gain forgiveness. It works that way in church and it can work outside as well. So yeah, thank you sir or ma'am as the case may be.
Loki has been working hideous hours at the farms in preparation for planting and hauling corn. I have been working hideous hours at the office. We finally saw each other this weekend and we spent all of this Sunday rearranging the office and getting everything organized. On the positive side, we are getting closer to actually being ready to get all our tax stuff together and do the filing thing. So much work though. :p
WOO! We got hate mail for Ace and Bog!!! Click here to see how I handle someone who thinks that my work is utter shit. This guy, to his credit had some really valid point, and I can respect them, even if I think he's trying to critique tastelessness by the standards of high comedy -- which is kind of silly. However, several people who think too much, along with some feminazis and PC pussy boys were showing hate to Nik over the fact that he was the art behind an offensive comic strip about a Dyke who is using a cop as a cat tree. People, he's not the mastermind of this game. If you want to show some hate, don't shoot the unarmed messenger, deal with the Multiracial Carpetmuncher, the Polack Gypsy and their heavy artillery. We're not some young, fresh out-of-college kid trying to gain experience as an illustrator doing a humiliation fetish and/or stoner pulp comic that isn't meant to be for mass consumption. We are the sickfuggs who call the shots. FREAKIN' DEAL! Don't like the freaking stickers, don't take 'em. That simple. But, if you are not easily offended, read the rant, and I will send you a free comic. No kidding.

That's it for now.

In regard to point 10: It reminds me of when Bjork got placed on a Hollywood worst-dressed list. The trend-spotters were like..."What was she thinking?!" and the rest of us were giggling going..."She was thinking she was going to get your panties in a bunch." Some people just don't understand that not every artist is trying to impress everyone: personally or professionally. Bjork: Not trying to impress Hollywood trend-spotters wearing a swan dress her "friend made". Putting her on the worst-dressed list is like telling someone walking to the grocery store that they didn't win the Boston marathon. You can't lose a game you aren't playing.

HA! She hit it on the name completely! If what you were saying weren't true, My long-time idol, Ana Voog would not have a career, and for that matter, neither would Bjork.

Want a free issue of P,S! WITH stickers for that observation?
