A Happy New Year to All
I know I haven't posted in a while. The truth is I haven't had anything new or interesting to report -- I'm still working on the Undisclosed Film Project by day, and by night still jerking back and forth between 20 different personal projects, all of which are about 75% complete, but none of which is solidly compelling enough to exclude all the others and inspire me to finish it. I recognize the problem as adult ADD; my goal in 2008 is to find and receive effective treatment for it.* Or become rich/powerful enough that I can gather an army of minions to complete my work for me.
On the issue of the missing domain: long story short, I forgot that E-SHEEP.COM was up for renewal in November (see comment above regarding ADD), and as the snail-mail reminders from NetSol never forwarded to my Portland address, I woke up one morning to discover the fine folks at Sedo.de had snatched it up for me. They're kindly offering to sell it back to me for a modest price, but to be honest, I never liked having a domain with a hyphen in it. At least not enough to pay the sum they're asking. So, Electric Sheep Comics will return shortly at www.electricsheepcomics.com.
When will there be new content? I honestly can't tell you. If my web comics actually generated an income for me, I'd be a fucking machine, I swear I would. But until that time -- or at least, until I have a "hands-free" source of income (such as, say, the residuals from a successful Hollywood film) , those E-Sheep comics are going to have to lurk in the "When I Have Time" circle of Limbo.
That being said, I've got a good feeling about 2008.
May the New Year bring you corners turned, humps surmounted, and at least 3 excellent meals.
AND NOW SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS:
You may be too young to remember the band Missing Persons, although you probably remember their song "Destination Unknown" as covered by the Smashing Pumpkins. (If you're too young to remember the Smashing Pumpkins, I'm afraid I can't help you). While I can't speak to the quality of this video, and [insert cheap shot at Eighties hairstyles here], this is one of my favorite songs from childhood, and today seems a good day to give it a listen. NerdNote: Dale Bozzio, lead singer of Missing Persons, was the stylistic inspiration for Pris in the movie Blade Runner. Enjoy!
*Current health provider tells me I don't have ADD; I'm just "an energetic person with a lot of varying interests," or so the counselor told me. Which was so very, very helpful.
