Hey folks!
You probably noticed that there hasn’t been a show in a few days. It’s mostly because this week has been pretty crazy, and with my current plans for the upcoming weekend with family, I likely won’t be able to do the next show until early next week.
So yes, check back Monday morning (Oct. 18th) for the next schedule of shows. I am sorry that I mysteriously vanished after Sunday’s show, but things just haven’t been conducive this week to getting the webcam online.
See you then!

Hey, folks!
I’m just putting up a quick notice that I’m going to be taking off from doing the show until Monday, Sept. 20th. This weekend is Whitney’s brother’s turn to get married, and we’re taking a drive a few hours south to attend. Since I’ve got to prepare for the weekend trip, I’ll be taking off the next few days to get everything ready to go.
So yes, tune back in Monday night at 8 pm EST to see the next show, where I’ll be starting the painting of the next few pages of Ademar. Have a great weekend!

Hello folks!
I’m putting this up as a quick notice that I’ve had to make a change in the schedule for the Inking Room. Originally I was planning on doing a few final shows before Friday, when I would be taking off for a week and a half until Monday the 23rd, since the 21st is my wedding.
Well, things have been all building up to a head since, well… it’s a week before my wedding, so I have a crap ton of things that need to get done and the stress of it all is just making me ill most of the time. Since I anticipate being unable to find the free time to sit down and draw until after the wedding date, I’m going to have to hold off on this week’s remaining shows as well.
I will return, though, at the same scheduled day — Monday, August 23rd. There will be much to do and talk about once the cam gets turned back on, so you can look forward to the show returning at that point. I know I am! I freakin’ love doing a daily art show. I haven’t been this productive with my own projects in a long time (school projects not included — I mean specifically P&C/Ademar).
So yes, I hope to see you all on the 23rd! Now I’m off to get married.

After Monday’s show, things got a little crazy for me and I ended up getting ill over the past 24 hours. It has managed to significantly reduce my strength to the point where I’m going to have to take a couple nights off from the show. Chalk it up to my stress levels getting too high: I’ll be fine once I can take care of some pressing duties (mostly wedding-related, since the big day is now a little over two weeks down the road and everything goes chaotic just beforehand).
As such, I have rearranged some items in the schedule to reflect this. I’ll be doing the pencils for the next page of Peter & Company on Friday, inking it on Saturday, and adding the colors — Yep, this page will be full-color! — in Photoshop on Sunday. Hopefully by Monday I should have my new inking supply in hand to where I can start cranking through the inks for the next three pages of Ademar as well.
Thanks for tuning in, everyone. I’ll see you all on Friday evening.

Hey folks,
I wanted to let you all know that tonight’s plan for the broadcast is going to be pushed back and placed as tomorrow’s show instead. Whitney and I decided to take the opportunity to finally see Toy Story 3, which we still haven’t had a chance to see just through lack of funds. After all that’s gone on over the past few weeks, we deserve a movie night, so we’re seizing the opportunity.
So yes, just to clarify: Tomorrow at 8 pm (normal time) I’ll be turning on the cam to produce the pencils for the first page of Chronicles of Ademar. I may work longer than two hours depending on how much progress I make (and to make up for missing tonight).
See you then!

Sort of a forced break time, but one that’s necessary nonetheless. I managed to get the Mac back up and running, and found out that my data drive (with all of my comics/music/etc.) survived the incident unscathed; unfortunately, the same could not be said for the boot drive, which was completely reformatted and lost all of my installed program data. I have backup discs for the programs I used most often, but a lot of them are older versions and I’ll need time to recover the updates from where I was before.
Basically what this means is that I’m taking the weekend to issue a bit of amnesia recovery to my computer. I also have last-minute errands that need to be run out-of-town in anticipation of my upcoming wedding which will require spending several nights over the weekend at various family members’ homes. As such, I’m putting the webshow on *pause* until I return on Sunday (since I’m pretty sure that laptops and camera equipment wouldn’t blend well with a hyperactive three-year-old nephew). Rest assured I will be broadcasting at 6 pm EST that evening to crank out as many sketches for the P&C Cast Page Revamp project as I can before my hand falls off at the wrist.
Thanks for everyone who left comments in various places about this whole incident, too. It’s nice to know the show has a dedicated viewing audience in such a short time.

Unfortunately, the show had to be canceled tonight when my 7-year-old G5 Mac tower decided to die on me during an OS update. This is unfortunately my main source of music and art production, and without it functioning I’m pretty limited in terms of posting stuff on the web. I postponed tonight’s show to focus on attempting to fix the problem.
At this point, it seems to be a corrupted boot drive. I’m doing a clean re-install of the OS, but if that doesn’t work out then I DO have another option for updating my sites (Whitney’s computer will work just fine — I just need to customize it a bit to work with what I need to do). Regardless of the outcome, the show will resume its regular schedule tomorrow evening. Tonight was just too chaotic; when your computer tower starts making a noise like a jet engine revving up to redline levels while jammed on the loading screen, you start to lose your focus on other things for the time being.
Sorry again about this, folks. I’ll have the situation resolved by tomorrow for sure.
