Cogs - by Cotton the Machine

Here is a little live action from earlier this month.  You can't see me - I'm on drums.

More Art - and a recording update

This is a test of the first page of a project I hope to have fully underway in a couple months.  I'll probably have to do a couple revisions of each page before I'm fully satisfied, but I feel like I'm finally on the right track.

Invictus is kicking my ass - in that, I have big plans, but not a lot of time to execute.  Mainly because my "sets" are off-site.  I have some vacation coming up, and I hope to get the next act filmed during that time.  Be assured, I haven't given up, and seeing a post by Justin at Generals Joes today, I'm even more inspired to get back to it.  Ah, life.

Finally, I'm hip-deep in co-producing the new album by my band Cotton the Machine.  We should have it out near the beginning of the new year, but feel free to like us on FB and check out our recent live videos to get a feel for what we're doing.

Thanks, folks, for visiting regularly.  I know I've been silent, but it's encouraging to see that people are taking a minute to stop in and see what's what.

Oh work...

I'm still here, but I'm overwhelmed.  Between crazy work days, busy weekends with the kids, and too much music (a good thing) I've had to put off Invictus for much longer than I'd hoped.  I was scouting out locations this weekend again, and have some tentative plans for a shoot - we'll see.  I know - promises, promises.  Invictus isn't done, but my time is short, and I want to do the best I can for the story, so please be patient and check back. 

Monster Machine!

This is a test panel from a new project I am getting ready to dive into.  I look forward to sharing more once it gets closer to reality, but in the meantime, enjoy!

Where is Invictus?

Just a quick update - things have been crazy in GigaMach land.  Lots of work, and projects, and music happenings, but Invictus is definitely not at the back of my mind.  I will try to get a new page up by this weekend, so don't give up, and thanks for sticking with me through the dry spell.

How Do I Shot Drum? - More Recording

So, the other thing I do, apart from having a family and taking pictures of toys and trying to train my drawing skills and work 40 hours a week...is drum for local SD bands.  A lot.  This weekend, my band Cotton the Machine hit the studio, and I'm pretty excited about the results so far.  We will probably finish 11 tracks in about a month, and I will be sure to post here when it's done.

I also have an album coming soon from The Secret Seven, the drum tracks for which I recorded a couple months ago.  Two disparate rock bands, two albums...I am a blessed man.

I am hopeful Invictus will return next week.  Stay Tuned!

Invictus - Page 19 and the end of Act 1

 

Act 1 ends here.  I'm excited about where this is going, and I hope you are, too.  Stay tuned - Invictus has just begun!
