How is stuff with you? How’s your mom doing?
Do you have any fun crazy plans for Halloween season?!
Are you going to Chiller? Or ComicCon?

Im a mess.
My mom is in bad shape, even thinner, and no sign of hair yet.
Nothing fun planned for Halloween yet. And I doubt there will be.
Don’t think I’ll be hitting either convention.

Hey.
Also, Thursday through Sunday evenings will, I think, consist of horror movie watching and drawing, and playing with itty bitty kittens. You are welcome to take part in these festivities with me. I mean, kittens are the best natural anti-depressant EVER. Playing with kittens and taking care of them is the only thing that gets me out of my head and stops me thinking so much.
Man, I love these kittens. So much so that I’m now $500 in debt to the vet. I’ve got to sell things. I’m looking at this as an opportunity to rebuild my credit, I guess?
Would you possibly be interested in modeling for me to photograph for a comic I’ve been asked to draw?

Here’s some old time radio to listen to while you draw, to get you in the spirit of the season.

Also, a bunch of awesome movies:

Also, come by if you like and we can draw and watch movies. You could probably do with escaping your life for an evening where there are adorable kittens!

I’ll check them out. I would like to hang. Even though I feel pretty sick to my stomach.
I just wanna lay in the dark & watch Halloween tv, And I’ve been summoned to go tattoo at a… Party. Ugh. It’s the very last thing I wanna do right now.
I should’ve left ten min ago. I’m dressed & have my shoes on, but I’m still in bed. Christ, l feel so shitty. Okay… Here I go.
I think.

Well, there’s always tomorrow night!
Good luck tonight. That sounds horrible.
I’ve been trolling people on the health problem pages on fb for saying “My god is a healer…. blah blah blah…” If god was a healer, you wouldn’t be praying so hard to feel better. That’s what doctors are for.
Egad, I hate people.
email from Stefan
I’ve said that so much this year to everyone offering prayers to my mother…”you want me to pray to a God who you believe made my mother bald, sick beyond words, have all her female organs taken out, and weigh 90 lbs. In the first place ? But isn’t that his plan for her? Fuck off. I depends on medical science, not conflicting fairy tales “. You know the gist.

If you could pose for me for photo reference, it would REEEAAAALLLY really help me out.
It seems the deadline for this comic is closer than I’d thought, and I’m sure I’m going to draw slower than most.
I might trek to New Providence in the next week, if it’d be easier for you to meet me there. Otherwise, would you want to meet up at my place some night? Here’s the character:
PRISONERThe main subject. Mid 40s, well dressed, although his clothes are currently rumpled. He’s a character that I assume will be well known by most anyone who ends up reading this, but since his identity isn’t revealed until the end, let’s not copy any of the actors currently portraying him in film or television.
But let’s totally copy someone. I’ve always thought the actor Justin Theroux looks like a villain. Certainly his hairline gives him that look, anyway. So let’s use him?
He would be wearing what he was when arrested, minus a watch and tie. So, a grey suit, white button-up shirt, with no tie.
The whole thing takes place in a police interrogation room. In the end, the prisoner ends up being a modern day Moriarty, who has allowed himself to be arrested to keep one of the cops from molesting a girl, the way he usually does at that time every day.
PLEASE. You are so perfect for this.
It’d be pretty simple, most of it just shots of you sitting at a table lit from above, taken from different angles. I can send you the script if you want.
I would really be in your debt.

Well…. If I could take care of a few little problems I have at the moment. I’ll come do it.

A wonderfully dreary day is a wonderful time to come by and visit! Oh please please please! I burst into tears last night trying to draw without reference. That hasn’t happened to me in quite some time.
Also, I miss you during certain times, and Halloween time is definitely one of the greatest! Escape from your world for a little while! Snuggle kittens!
