This is my first Weekly Schedule post.

I work as a programmer during the day and occasionally do side work such as web design, illustration and some tech work at night and weekends.

I’m married and have 2 kids and love my family very much and desire to give them the attention they deserve.

What’s left is given to the internet and what I will lay out here is that schedule. Maybe I should call this an outline. Because I make these plans in my head every week and they sometimes get moved around or canceled all together. Life happens.

so here goes:

Monday:
Watching Movie for Filmsack

Tuesday:
Watching 2nd Movie for Filmsack
Sketching comic for A Mission Deep (delayed)

Wednesday:
Recording Filmsack
Draw Guy In A Bush (delayed)

Thursday:
Recording and editing Comics Coast To Coast

Friday:
Post Comics Coast To Coast including show notes

Saturday:
Write Guy In A Bush (fail)

Sunday:

If you look to the right hand column of this site you will find a section entitled: Bush Buddies.

Who are these people? Well they are people I know and talk with to varying degrees of frequency. They are also people who I think have comic talent and finally they are people who frequent “Guy In A Bush” and give me encouragement.

To be more specific:

Almost Normal (Lonnie Dinello): A fairly new webcomic that has tons of potential. Lonnie has really thrown herself into her webcomic and has a unique style and humor. As a shirt I wore as a child said – “Keep On Trucking.”

Baldo (Carlos Castellanos & Hector Cantu): I can’t read Spanish so it’s a good thing this Spanish speaking family comic speaks English. I’ve talked with Carlos many times over skype and on Comics Coast To Coast. But the best part was meeting him and his family at Quizno’s on one of his yearly treks to the Cuban Mountains in the north. No wait. DisneyWorld with his family was more fun. Carlos is a great illustrator and has the greatest business mind of any cartoonist I have ever met. But between you and me. If it wasn’t for his wife and kids he would be living on the streets…that’s secret…shhh….oh…and I’ve never talked to Hector…I’m not even sure he exists.

Chippy and Loopus (John Sanford) : John is a great friend who also happens to be a co-host on the Comics Coast To Coast podcast. When he’s not doing that he is working as a storyboard artist at Dreamworks and because he has so much free time he squeezes out a few nasty worded webcomics each week which both offend me and make me smile. Great job John.

Commissioned Comic (Obsidian) : I’ve known Obsidian for at least 5 years when we first met on the Extralife Radio podcast. We have been getting together almost every week since then to talk about geek stuff, comics, movies and just about anything you would ever wanted to know about South American living. O’ has drawn more comics than just about anyone I know personally and is quite talented with his pencil monkey grip. I’ve met O’ in real life once. He smells like coffee.

Dog Eat Doug (Brian Anderson) : I’ve know Brian A. from back when we were both on Comics Sherpa. That was a long time ago if you didn’t know. Brian has the silkiest lines in all comicdom in his family friendly comic ‘Dog Eat Doug.’ But don’t let his sweet comic fool you. That dude is seriously disturbed and is into magic and stuff. I’m pretty sure he has a voodoo doll of me.

Extralife! (Scott Johnson) : One of my bestest buddies on the internet and real life. When he’s not drawing his comic he is thinking up some great new idea. I have never met anyone in the webcomic community more dedicated to their readers. Same goes for his podcasts. He is a true inspiration. I was able to meet Scott this past year at Nerdtacular ‘09 and he was entertaining people in real life as much as he does online. I could go on for many more paragraphs but I don’t want to give Scott a swelled head…even though it is a swell head indeed.

Legend Of Bill (David Reddick) : I have never met anyone as excited about comics as David Reddick. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Dragon Con ‘09 and I told him about Guy In A Bush and he totally got it and was rattling off comic ideas for the strip before I could get my pen and paper out to steal all his great ideas. David has been on Comics Coast To Coast and it’s hard not to love the guy. Thanks David.

Metzger Cartoons (Scott Metzger) : I started reading this guy because he drew a comic about a tree. Well I’m all about comics about trees….especially angry ones. Then we had this guy on Comics Coast To Coast. He’s much more than a cartoonists. He’s a nutcase that needs to be monitored. I love Scott because I can give him a hard time and he keeps coming back. Oh yeah…and he’s funny too.

MythTickle (Justin Thompson) : Another close friend of mine. Justin co-hosts Comics Coast To Coast with me and has been there since the start. He has a true passion for comics. Heck, he’s passionate on just about everything. But always civil. Me and Justin have a great time ribbing each other since he is from the West Coast and I am from the East Coast and there are a lot of differences in how we see the world. Justin works at the Schulz Studio and amazes me with his work all the time. I also could go on and on about how great Justin is but I better leave it at that.

Pinkerton Park (Mike Witmer) : I fell in love with Pinkerton before I ever talked to Mike. I loved his style and his is one of the few books I have ever bought based on a webcomic. Mike is always there for a kind word and willing to give you the honest truth if you want it…sometimes even if you don’t.

Some Day Hero (Jarrett Osborne) : This guy is crazy talented. He’s never afraid to take a chance. He’s also a great guy to hang out with on a podcast. Even though he has mad skills he is easy to talk with and very down to earth. With that being said. Hurry up and get the new comic up!!

and that’s the Bush Buddies.
