I really just wanted to remove the 2014 Journal entry I had on my page while not wanting to remove the Jornal widget from my page. Solution? Write a new Journal entry!
So what's new?
I've been trying to monetize other aspects of comic book creation I can do (moderately) well such as lettering and book design. I did a cover for someone and I am in the middle-end of coloring a book for a client.
Oh and coloring for people is tough. ha ha ha...
I had no misconceptions to the contrary, but it's one of those things where you say "I really have a lot more respect for the men and women who..." after doing it. I mean, it's not fighting a war or digging ditches, but in the scope of what we do as artists, there's a lot of "geez, get to it already" involved.
I'm also continuing to write and draw my own stuff. Nothing has come out yet, but I'm feathering my nests at Patreon and Tapastic as we speak. Watch this space...
I really do enjoy self-publishing. The strange part is I like all the prepress stuff and the releasing on different platforms BETTER than the drawing bit. That's amazing considering I'm just the guy who drew superheroes in my Dad's old sketchbooks.
Anyway, I'll keep trying to post on here, or you can check my Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter or LeighWalls.com for more info and little drawings and such. Bloody Pulp Magazine is still up but I have to update it. Maybe that will be the home for whatever I do for inktober.
There's an idea.
Okay... later gators

Too Long Away from DA
Hi gang!
I've been away from Good Ol' DeviantArt for a little bit.
Sorry.
This was mostly because I was working on things that I couldn't show until I finished them to a degree that progress would be interesting. Maybe that was a wrong decision but, oh well... I'll be posting things soon.
Also, I'm relaunching BLOODY PULP MAGAZINE with some new art from me and James Groeling with stories written by me, James and Florida-based fantasy author extraordinaire, Philip Lee McCall II.
All that and Andy Rooney, in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for hanging around and seeing what's coming down the pipes.
Later guys...

NYCC 2013
I ended up going to New York Comic Con this year.
I wanted to avoid it and I thought it would be a great opportunity to stop and think about what I wanted to do with my art. I mean, yeah, it's definitely going to be about publishing a comic, maybe a graphic novel, maybe a cartoon but what do I REALLY want, you know?
Anyway, I went and helped out Daniel Cooney at his Valentine table and it was good fun. Dan's a brilliant storyteller and an accomplished teacher and comic booker. He's been doing it since a little before senior year of college and he's still going strong.
I think I wanna be him when I grow up.
Anyway part deux, I also got
over 12,000!!!!
I definitely don't come on enough!
Thanks to all who have favored my art (who I have not gotten back to you "personally" and thanks for the page views!!!
I will definitely, DEFINITELY do something for #13,000
Salut!

It's been a while.
For anyone who's keeping score it's been 15 months since my last journal and I've been having a tough time keeping up deviations. Not to mention trying to thank all those folks who have added some of my drawings to collections or favorited and the like. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to you, it's gotten a little overwhelming.
Okay, so how's this. I'm going to write a form letter of sorts to say thanks for adding my stuff to your collections or faves and I'm sorry I haven't gotten back sooner but I really do appreciate your interest in my work. It's really great to see when I put something up and someone (or someoneS) have

Did we go over this already? I don't recall. But here you say you have a website, LeighWalls.com, and I don't find it. Was it ever up?
Anyway, I started a sequential art folder a little while ago and started to fill it with daily exercises. Not gonna stop, this time. I'm making sequentials my new thing. This is gonna happen in 2017. This time, for sure!
