This is it, younguns! Last day of bidding on my first Ebay original art auction! Can you LIVE without these pieces of bristol paper which I have marked upon using, amongst other things, pencil and a Sharpie? Clearly not, so snipe if you can!

We've hit just about the halfway mark on toning pages for issue 8 -- once that's outta the way, all that stands between you and the next issue is a cover and, well, 3 months of comic shop solicitations. I'll keep you posted.

I started working, tonight, on another first for myself -- I'm gonna be adding some art tutorials to this site, for those of you who wish that your art, not to put it indelicately, looked a little more like mine. They will be called, "So You Want To Draw Like Norm," and subtitled, "What's Wrong With You?"

I don't know how well I'll be able to convey information in an educational sense, having never really tried it before, but I've always figured I'd be pretty good at it, due to my twin qualities of arrogance and natural smarminess. Condescending to a room full of students, patronizing their every question -- man, that's the life.

Anyways, art tutorials, such as they are. If nothing else, it'll be worth it to get all my thoughts on art down in print if only to see how many times I contradict myself over the course of a few tutorials (plenty, I'll bet!)

But enough for now -- remember, Ebay auctions! Bid like you've never bid before!
