The Rear View Mirror

So, here it comes in all its glory. 2011. This is as good a place as any to say a very huge thank you to everybody who is still reading my posts at zodiaclung.co.uk - even those of you who read by proxy over the facebook feed. In hindsight, if we're going to use years as marker points, 2010 was pretty successful.

The digital store I set up has exceeded expectation for a start - here's a quick overview of where it stands today: The Fire Sermon - 69,000 readers and counting Gelert - 8,000+ Shouting & Pointing (an Inspector Kang short) - 13,000+ Too Hot For Dogs has also hit 43,000+ readers - my only disappointment with that is that it remains unfinished and needs a total reboot this year and finishing off.

Those numbers are pretty good for something I thought I'd try out as an experiment. Meanwhile in the real world, driving Skin Deep has handed me some great opportunities (aside from it being a really fucking cool job), not least the opportunity to unleash Tattoo Vixens on the world. I haven't quite mustered up the bare faced cheek to ask any of the incredibly talented artists I'm in contact with if they woud like to work on some comic book projects together, but I'm sure it will come sooner rather than later - especially with Tattoo Freeze being around the corner... like the weekend after next.

I've also found a cure for the common flu virus - the Twisted Sister back catalogue. This morning I looked about as healthy as a sack of kittens in a well, but three albums in I must admit, I'm starting to feel a bit sharper. You can't knock the evidence that's in front of your eyes...

More later...
