When you start out, you don’t have an agent, you don’t have a manager. You have to promote yourself, get yourself jobs, get an internet presence, take classes… everything on your own. So, every time I get a new little bit of anything, a show, a movie, something I wrote — I have to promote it myself. I realize I’m starting to look like a bit of a whore.

With the help of Dictionary.com, I found this:
whore        (hôr, hōr)  Pronunciation Key
n.
1. A prostitute.
2. A person considered sexually promiscuous.
3. A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain.

And door number 3 is a winner. Okay, maybe I’m not so much compromising principles but advertising myself to my friends and internet neighbors to the point of annoyance. But what else can I do? Take out an ad in the Post?

So, I started a new web comic

I’m afraid I must whore it out to you all. Wait, that’s it. I’m a pimp, not a whore! Regardless, here it is:

Here’s the story behind where it came from: One day Steve wrote a TV script pilot for a sci-fi/comedy. His friend Laura said, “That’s nice but no one will make an expensive sci-fi show from an unknown writer. You should make it into an animation or a comic.” So, he called up this cool guy Dave. Steve met Dave when he saw Iron Man; he was sketching in the parking lot (Dave, not Iron Man.) Dave thought the idea was cool, and so it began.

More pimpin’

I’m going to be on television this month, and appearing in two movies, one on TV and one in theaters this November. I’m going to create a new section for my “appearances” though after this little spate I’m worried it might look empty and sad after a while. We shall see. The movies I shot almost a year ago and the TV was about 4 months ago, so it takes time for stuff to come out. Look for the new section today!
