Waddya say? Wanna see more mangled goodness? Help me shake off the rust, put in a bid for a commission and get me drawing again. I need to stretch out and flex my creativity muscles.

RULES!
----------
>I will NOT draw anything pornographic or graphically violent. I'm a father and I won't draw anything I don't mind my kids seeing at some point. One must uphold their standards, says I.

>Contact me via comments, notes, or email. mightymangler (at) gmail (dot) com and let me know what you'd like drawn. Please be specific about colors, clothes (where applicable), hair styles (where applicable), and include any links you think might aid as references.

>All art excludes detailed backgrounds, sorry, but I'd like to pump these out as quickly as possible. If your piece absolutely demands a background of some sort, just explain that to me and I'll make a judgment call. Just be aware that this will affect the cost of the final piece.

I'll have to think about that one.

On another note, if any of you watchers are photographers or puerto rican (as in "living on Puerto Rico"), I'm drawing a graphic novel dealing with turn of the century Aguadilla and I'm in desperate need of reference photos. If you can help me out, I'd appreciate it. I've tried sending notes to some of the PR artists here on DA... but no one answers. *shrug*

Besides more crap with which to spoil my spawn, naturally.

I come to work everyday and put in the hours. I put my personal projects on the back burners like a good father and husband and I concentrate on making that paycheck every two weeks in order to keep my family fed. I never really participate in "company events" or do anything "extracarricular" with my co workers. Honestly, if it doesn't have anything to do with my professional preferrences (i.e. cartoon, comic, or animation related) why would I waste my time with it?

Well, we had a company "thanksgiving" potluck. In the company emails sent out, it was stated that if you didn't bring anything, you were denied eating. Not very "thanks" or "giving", really. I thought that I'd actually participate, if for no other reason, than to show off my culinary prowess. I brought a dessert that I used grocery money for the ingredients. So when a massive email was sent out to the staff that there was "too many leftovers" and we should "come back for as much food as you like" I naturally heeded the call. There's not much in my fridge at home, so I told Lori to come up to the job and get some grub. I fed my fam and was feeling pretty good about coming through for them... until my supervisor called me into his office.

"Did you have your kids up here?" I was questioned.
"Sure did. Sorry you missed them." I responded.

He then informed me that certain unnamed individuals had complained about my taking advantage of the situation. Never mind that I'd brought my share. Never mind that I'd contributed to the food that was now going to waste because we had too much. Instead of coming to me in order to get the WHOLE story, folks presumed and passed judgement. Then they huffed into the managers' offices and stirred up the crap and we all know what gravity does to crap... rolls it downhill. Where does that leave me? At the bottom of the hill, baby. I'm so frustrated, I could spit. Really.

Know what happens when I'm this frustrated about my work place? I start wondering why I'm not drawing for a living, yet. I start contemplating the possibility of launching into the dream I've had more years than I can remember. But my responsibility to my family is far too strong to just up and walk out of the easiest effing job I've ever had. Great money, awesome benefits... so I just keep drawing.

As I begin my 32nd lap I find myself measuring my accomplishments and finding a very real sense of fulfillment. I married my jr. high school sweetheart, I've been blessed with three of the most fantastic children I could ever have requested, and I'm still drawing comics. Really, things are going great and there's only the future ahead. There are pages waiting to be written, artwork waiting to be created, ideas waiting to be thought up and I get to share it with my family.

It's true, after your 21st birthday... everything else just seems to pale in comparison to the luster of your childhood birthdays.... but if you choose to never grow up COMPLETELY... you get to carry some of that luster with you forever.

Happy Birthday to any other folks celebrating their laps around the Sun today... and if you're still in mid-lap... keep going. Your future's not going anywhere until you get there.

If any of you can feel the pain I'm enduring, I need guest comics for Mangled Stare... wanna come out and play?

-In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You're tagged" in their deviant page comments and tell them to read yours.
======================================================

1. I suffer from a slight case of acrophobia.

2. I fiddle with my beard almost constantly.

3. I flirt with my wife shamelessly as though we were still in high school.

4. I have a hard time saying "no" to art projects and end up taking too long to finish them all.

5. My New York accent comes out when I'm angry/around other yankees/eating.

6. I took more than 10 minutes to complete this list.


I think I'll tag:

6 random folks on my watch list.
