Text and cover image for DOG EATERS Issue #2, which is coming out in December, is due on Monday, EST. We’ve got hard deadlines to meet every month and things will be getting tighter and tighter.

This is the announcement for the Diamond Monthly Preview catalog for DOG EATERS Issue #1.

DOG EATERS is in the lower right-hand corner. After clicking once on the thumbnail, click again to enlarge to read the text. We’re third fiddle in this ad, but hopefully we won’t get lost in the cacophony…

The next cover will feature Tommy, the oldest remaining son of Lamont and Rebecca Black Dog. He lives with a burning, risk-taking zeal that only a hormone engorged teenager possesses. A carefree and careless young man, Tommy will eventually take Lamont’s place in leading the tribe, but he is not concerned with taking on responsibility just yet — after all, his father is strong and vital, domineering in fact — and will not step down until his guns are pried from his dead hands.

This is a rough of the cover for Issue #2 which will feature Tommy, Rose, and Bronco.

Look to the left sidebar for another image of Tommy that more fully captures his insouciance and cocky self-confidence.

Well, enough fun and games. Got to get to work…

Back In Tokyo, musing about Maui…

August 8, 2008

Is 08/08/08 an auspicious date? Sure why not. Safely back in Tokyo after a sixteen day trip. Five intense days at San Diego Comic-con, eight more-or-less leisurely days of family reunion/80th birthday party in Maui. Nothing especially interesting about other people’s family reunions. However, you might be interested in seeing the Lukas, the family acrobat, walk on his hands. He can also juggle. We think he may run away to the circus someday. Disclaimer/cautionary note: you may get a stiff neck watching this.

Lukas is on the right. We’re going to bill him as a five-year-old. Hey the Chinese Olympic committee does it! Brian is on the left. His Drunken Monkey style is pretty good. He managed to snatch the pebble from my hand…

The highlight of this birthday party/family reunion was the fantastic hula performance by the Kanoeau Dance Academy.
Live music by Auntie Ke’ala Kukona backed by Leia on stand-up bass and Kimo on acoustic guitar — singing sweet harmonies. Some very young dancers prepare in the wings.

Here are some of the dancers posing with the family.

A few random sights of Maui. From 200 Leilani Dr, Wailuku, a view of a cruise ship in Kahului Harbor.

This is an attempt to make a living environmental art piece out of a fallen macadamia nut tree. Mac trees are like weeds — even if you cut them down, they’ll grow right back. This tree blew down in a storm half a year ago and it was still as green as the rest of the trees around it. We gave it a major pruning then lifted it off the ground and propped it up. Check back in a couple of months to see how this piece progresses.

Uncle Rob and Dustin stand proudly next to “Tribute to Dali.”

Another random thought: my red eye. At the birthday party, I started recruiting new Black Dog Clan members. I got wound up again, probably raising my blood pressure, and my red eye (which had been in remission) came back. I’m starting to think that this is going to a chronic condition for the rest of my life. Or as long as DOG EATERS is in my life.

I guess I should throw in a couple of gratuitous shots of “beautiful” Maui.
The view from the condo lanai.

From Maalaea, off in the distance, Molokini…


A couple of sunset shots…

Aloha!
