Journal Entry: Tue Mar 25, 2008, 2:11 AM
I should have posted these more immediately…well, arguably, I should have updated my journal, oh, say, a year ago. Rather than introduce my cavalcade of excuses for the prolonged silence, though, I’ll just note that I’m extremely honored that Lackadaisy has received a number of Web Cartoonists’ Choice Awards this year.

Outstanding Artist

Outstanding Character Rendering

Outstanding Black and White Art

Outstanding Web Site Design

A notable portion of the credit for the web site award is owing to :iconthurinus:. It's his Tomekeeper web comic manager that keeps the Lackadaisy web site functioning smoothly and his handiwork that keeps the Lackadaisy forums doing likewise. Thank you, Jay.

I’ve also been very surprised and delighted to find that Lackadaisy’s received a nomination for an Ursa Major Award this year.

--------------------------------

In addition, it’s been featured in a recent issue of Top Girl magazine, which was quite exciting, if not a little surreal…surreal and Italian. The first image is the magazine cover, the second is the actual article (posted with permission).

Lastly, as I've had a number of requests and delivered a number of promises for a painting tutorial, I've assembled one that, although brief and characteristically obnoxious, will hopefully suffice until time stops slipping so maddeningly through my fingers...at which point I’ll come up with something more in-depth and perhaps even marginally informative.

    The universe will provide what you need.

    Granted, you may not like what what you need.
    What you need may be different from what you want,
    and in this there is the conflict.

    I've been following your comic for a while now, I just love the way you draw the cats. They're so human and feline at the same time! Awesome.

    Wow, ages ago I saw one of your comic pages and thought: "Nah.. Nothing for me. Just cats n'stuff."

    The other day I had a second look on your comic, and I can say that I couldnt stop reading after that :) Your smooth sepia coloring, the great storyline, the characters.. This comic's got it all.

    I'll be looking forward to read more :)

    Holy crap. It's all amazing. Keep it up, or else...um....you'll lose your MOST PRIZED MONKEY OF DOOOOOM!!!

    Or whatever I think of that's better. Either way, keep up the awsome stuff, man.
