I am about two-thirds finished with the re-write of issue #1, and perhaps about half-finished with the re-design of the Web site. Unfortunately, last night’s WordPress upgrade debacle didn’t help matters; not only did it cost me an entire evening of productivity last night, but the resulting sleep deprivation has made it harder than hell to write anything decent today as well.

Then there are the character designs, which I haven’t touched yet.

Factor in that I’m going out to dinner tomorrow and having company over on Saturday, and making my self-imposed deadline is going to be a strain. But I am NOT giving up now. The script is shaping up really well — better than I’d hoped, in fact – and I know I can polish off the character sketches in a few hours. Finally, a great deal of the site re-design from here on will consist of re-using elements I’ve already designed.

I am NOT punking out. Somehow, some way, I’m seeing this one through. Why? Because, if I do say so myself, I think The Victory Streak is a story that deserves to be told. And I owe it to myself to see my dream come to fruition.

Colleen Doran is a talented writer and artist who is perhaps best known as the creative force behind A Distant Soil, a comic-book series published by Image but owned by Colleen. Her artwork has also graced a variety of other titles, including Sandman and Book of Lost Souls. Her other credits are too numerous to mention in the space and time I have at the moment.

Colleen has decided to run a contest through her blog to encourage anyone engaged in any sort of artistic endeavor. (more…)

Yeah, it’s been, what, a little over two weeks since my last post? Well, I’ve been sick that entire time. A cold-turned-sinus-infection that kept me out of work for three-and-a-half days last week.

But… I’m back. (more…)

Uhm, yeah, about that… (more…)

Okay, now I’m tearing my hair out. I want this monkey off my back!!! (more…)

I have a three-day weekend coming up, so I have a real shot at finishing this page before midnight on Monday. (more…)

The pencils for page two of the first issue of The Victory Streak are now nearly 34 hours overdue. (more…)

You know, it’s been months since I posted the first penciled page for The Victory Streak #1. Not even a finished page. Just one incomplete page. (more…)

On January 14, 2006, I started this endeavor with a single Web page announcing the birth of Bill Myers Creations and The Victory Streak. It was the result of a spur-of-the-moment to decision to unleash the ideas and dreams that had been pent up inside of me. It was like water bursting forth from a broken dam. I didn’t know how to control it. I didn’t have a plan. (more…)

Consider this the “letters page” for discussing the artwork. I welcome your comments!
