Smalltown-e-mag

Just wanted to inform followers that I have changed the page for which I am loading complete magazines on to fb/smalltownmonthlyonline. Please go there and follow it as well. There are 3 or 4 completed issues there plus one in the works. Also, I have recovered a manuscript which will be published in its entirety over the next several issues detailing the complete Reno history, the settling and unsettling of Rockford and it is dynamite! Stay tuned, friends! And enemies. Lol

Thank you, I stay conscious of each and every feedback and name and it is you and them that make what I do worthwhile. If it was for the money I would have stopped a long time ago. Know that you are fuel for my passion!

When all mag pages are proofed and complete they will be loaded into one easy to read page by page post at www.facebook.com/smalltownmonthlyonline. Release date is Mother’s Day, May 12, 2019. Please go ahead there and like and follow and Sunday pop open the mag with mom.

Did you say, what?

The funnest part of this job as an artist is when I get to the point of throwing all the s**t onto the wall just to see what sticks. Of the 40+ versions of this cover page here are 3 of them that might indicate such a process. The third, or one w pigs in dirt bottom leftish, is where I have arrived currently with some satisfaction? It'll change.

Yes! I know this isbusy. But also, it's something you could look at 100 different times and still see something new? Example: Did you notice the 3 men jumping off the bins?

I cain't read peoples minds and feedback is my lifeline. Being this issue discusses the creative mind and that we all have one, I just had to let all mine hang out. Generally though, I stop short due to either self-censorship or possibly appearing 'too far out there' in the public arena. So, do you favor the more conservitave previous version or this wilder one and why?

The creative process from conception to completion is pure rock and roll! The experience of accomplishing any such endeavor though is NOT all peaches and cream. To go all the way in it one must both engage in a barge of brutal self-attacks until the final bell rings, 'ping', thats it! Not all creative tasks make it to the 'ping'. But when they do, and you hear that 'ping', it is the only time you can finally smile, turn from it and walk away. I have at least 50 solid working hours in this one page. At least 20 different versions? This contains a little from all of them, I suppose? I am happy with this! Now to do some proofreading?

ROCK and LET'S ROLL, PEOP'S!
