Today was somewhat eventful. I ended up spending over an hour on the phone with PayPal customer service and Bank Of America customer service due to a company I paid $225.00 up front as one half of a fee to do storyboards for the Sasquatch cartoon kinda ghosting me for a week. No response to emails, phone calls and texts is all just a big giant red flag as far as I'm concerned. Also this Sasquatch project has been stalled for months now since we've had so much trouble finding a storyboard arist up to the animator's standards. This has really frustrated me greatly to the point I have honestly wondered if we'll complete the project. So as it stands I'm once again looking for someone to do storyboards as I'm done working with the person I tried to hire.
The DragonManx comic Kickstarter was a success and comics will be getting sent out to folks early 2024. Meanwhile I have a couple of directors interested in the SonsOfLegend soft reboot but I've yet to really decide who I'm gonna use. But one person has been difficult to reach by phone and text which is a problem for me so... In other news the Sasquatch comic is coming along and that will be done pretty soon. No lettering has been done yet though.

The Orange Hat.
Last Saturday as I was about to leave work I asked a co-worker which hat I should wear...a cool orange one I really like that says "Art is for everyone" with two earring-type loops in two holes on its rim or a cool black cap that says "Sasquatch believes in you" She said the black one because she doesn't like bright colors. I have noticed that when I wear bright colorful things people just seem to stare or be fixated on the object and I know for a fact some folks don't dress in bright primary colors because sometimes it just seems to draw attention. Makes one stick out and theres that saying you know that the nail that stands out the most is the one that gets pounded the most. What is it about bright colors that make people want to punish each other? Gangs do it. I'm not sure animals react in this fashion but yesterday as I stood waiting for a light to change on my way to pick up a pizza a truck went by me with an older Mexican guy and he laughed really loudly as if to ridicule me. I guess I'm wondering if I hadn't stuck out with my orange hat would he have done that? During my first year in LA a brother yelled at me "What you doing wearing that red shirt?!?" and this was near Sunset and Vine nowhere near any gang-affiliated area. How crazy the world has become where other people want to attack you for wearing colors. Then again many just attack for any little reason. Being bald and youthful I have been approached in a threatening manner by other guys asking me where I'm from. They think I'm in a gang. Some folks have been mistaken for gang people and even gotten shot at. People just keep coming up with reasons to try and kill each other, don't they? Anyway I think this color subject could make for an interesting short film. After all, it has been proven colors can affect your moods or even how others react to you. This is sometimes called "Color Magic"
