Picasso Cat TopPixJanuary 2007

First Off, My apologies for another late calendar - This isn’t really the best way to start out a new year... I don’t really have much of an excuse for this - I was mostly just busy with another project that I find more interesting than coloring another one of these calendar pix - So I just kept putting it off an letting things slide, rather longer than I should have - Sorry ‘bout that...

A few notes on the pix itself, some of you may have seen it before - it was initially inked back in 1993 and printed in one of the pin-up books (Don’t recall which), but the idea always seemed fun to me - That is, if you ever wondered how we get those realistic, dynamic poses for the Bunny...

Another facet of this calendar: With the new year we’re following the new policy that I outlined last Dec, of dropping the small 640/480 calendar size, while adding an extra wide 1280/800 size for the newer wider monitors... and since this gives us a tad more horizontal space, you may notice that the extra wide calendars for Jan. have a somewhat different composition - this won’t be the case for every month, but with this pix, we were able to move Tubbins an’ his easel, to show a li’l bit more of the Bunny... Next month, will probably be featuring another classic pix, this one from 1995 - Though one, that hasn’t been seen around before...

Aside from that, we’re still waitin’ to hear from Diamond, to learn if we received enough orders for a second printing of the “Bedtime Bear Stories”... In the meantime, Walt wants to mention that: There are still some copies left from our first limited printing - So if anyone is interested in a copy, just follow the link on the main page, to the order page... Also, Walt is still tossing in a free poster with every order... As for myself, Before Xmas, I had been working on a Bronco Bunny comix, but then I got sidetracked onto another story, so I put Bronco aside - don’t know when I’ll get either of ‘em finished - I’m really supposed to be doing some Flash Animations, and I’ve been letting that slide as well - So I really need to get back to Flash - (right after I finish repairing this old computer, that I promised I’d fix up for a friend) - personally I’d rather draw the comix, but Flash pays the bills - Well some of 'em anyway...

Other than that, its another year, three thousand plus Service men and women are dead (and who knows how many thousands of Iraqis), The donkeys are in control of Congress for the first time in a decade or so - here’s hoping that they somehow have managed to evolve some spines, so that they might stand up to the goon squad in the white house... Meanwhile the World’s Ecosystem seems to be convulsing and failing -- so it all may be moot in another generation or so... And with that happy thought, I’ll bid you all adieu for anther month... JQ
