I was cleaning out some of my shelves last night when I discovered this awesome picture of Andrew Jackson swinging bolos (I forgot to scan it), that I drew a couple years back. I had completely forgotten that, originally Tear-Stained Makeup was going to be a series of progressively weirder stories (now I'll be lucky if I get one done.) I believe the idea was to have Tildy and Wilson teams up with the bolo-throwing ghost of Andrew Jackson to enact some sort of vengeance on history.

Man, I used to have good ideas!

Since finishing TSM #7, I've been struggling with schedules and working and figuring out the best method for finishing CLS. My logic, simply, was that CLS was closer to being done than anything else so i should focus and finish it. My conclusion reached after much soul searching is that the old ways are the best ways. So Tear-Stained #8, (and a secret OTHER project), may come to light before CLS is done. This is because I lack the capacity to work on one thing. Ironically if I only work on one thing, I will never get it done. I read somewhere that Kim Deitch has a lot of books in the works at once. So I'll take after one of my heroes and just be MARCOS CRAZY BOOKS. Swear to god one year I will put out nine hardcovers. That's cool though, the juices thrive best when they are juiced with a variety of my brain fruit at once. It's like a V-8.

Hi all, hope you had a good holiday weekend! Mine was solid. A couple of days in hot, humid South Jersey. It was righteous, cept for getting bite in the ass by a great dane while riding a bike! Don't worry, no skin was broken. Then I ate ribs.

Last night I watched Nick Fury: Agent of Shield. It wasn't sa bad as I expected. I mean it was crap, but so many comic book movies are anyway. And it did have Arnim Zola in it! Now, I don't now much about Zola cept Kirby made him and Justin likes drawing him celebrating Independence day and dancing. But I appreciated the Zola fanservice. But I don't know where they got off calling that one lady Viper. Someone call Steranko!!!

GAH! When's Labor Day.

FRIDAYS ARE CANCELED!

Ok. SO. This two pages a week isn't really working out for me. Kinda cutting into my freedom style of making comics. Then I realized I'm my own boss and that at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is doing the book in the best spirits possible.

So Boss Marcos has cut Art Marcos to freelance hours. So he can have more free time to dance amongst the daisies and do other projects.

Sorry for any disappointments! I appreciate everyone who comes here week after week. I love you all, no lies.

I'm off to do my killer daisy dance.
