Okay. Take 2.
Here’s a piece I did tonight for fun. It’s based on the cover of Iron Man #128, drawn by Bob Layton.

It is physically impossible to keep from reblogging this.

Hello, everyone.
I’m coming to you today with a request: reblog this post. Why? Well, lemme tell ya: I’m a starving artist. No, really. I’m not going to get into it because I really don’t believe in motivating income based on personal hard times, but let’s just say that over the course of the last two weeks I’ve had the rug pulled out from under my feet by my former job and all the money I was counting on coming to me to survive is no longer coming. Which is a bit of a shock, but at the same time is not surprising. Still, I digress right now, so let me continue.
If you click here, you’ll be taken to my Amazon.com author page, where you can view the two novels I have written (images above!) and purchase them if you care. There are digital and print versions, and sales of either benefit me greatly either way. Amazon has a fantastic profit margin for independent authors, and it’s been a great experience thus far. I’ve sold enough books to feel marginally successful. Unfortunately, marginally successful isn’t going to butter the bread for me or my two kids anymore. Also, I understand that sci-fi and horror books aren’t for everyone. Furthermore, I understand that there’s a lot of people under the gun right now as far as money is concerned, and that not everyone just has money to spend. So ultimately, here’s my plea:
If you don’t/can’t buy anything, please just reblog this. All I’m looking for is to spread the word a little bit so that I can expand my horizons while investing in other social media to get sales moving. That reblog button is all I’m asking for. I’m not looking for sympathy sales, because hey, who wants to buy a book because a guy is coming up short on cash? Not me. But if someone sees this and thinks, “Well, I’ll click the link,” and they see the books and decide they want to buy a copy simply cause they like what they see? That’s all I’m looking for. A little outreach.
Tumblr, thank you in advance. I know I can’t make money happen from Tumblr alone, but it’s a good place to start. The next couple of months are going to be rough. Regardless, I know I’m going to make it through simply because I don’t have another choice. And if you end up grabbing a book: thank you so very much in advance. Everything helps.
Goodnight, and thank you.

It’s estimated that a third of everything we eat depends upon honeybee pollination. —HK Honey
With a district in the city named the most densely populated area in the world in 2011, beekeeping isn’t exactly the hobby most associate with Hong Kong. Yet, this is what young urban beekeeper Michael Leung finds himself doing every day as founder of an urban beekeeping initiative called the HK (Hong Kong) Honey Project. In his talk at TEDxYouth@HongKong, part of TEDxYouthDay 2011, he explains:
We collaborate with local artists—we found 50 artists to make 50 [beeswax] candles which reflected human rights issues such as safe food or freedom of expression
We use product designers [to communicate.] We try to make our packaging as green as possible. [Our honey jar] is just a normal drinking glass that we sourced, and the lid is made from beeswax — so when you’re finished eating the honey, you can just use the glasses for drinking and the lid as a candle. So we try to [use] real kind of new ways of packaging and minimizing waste and kind of promoting what the bees do.
[Keeping bees] made me realize that Hong Kong is not quite the concrete jungle that we all see it as. It’s kind of a urbanly dense area, but there’s loads of greenery all around that bees can fly to. They can actually fly within a 5 km radius.
This year, the third consecutive TEDxYouthDay celebrates youth innovators and re-imaginers like Michael throughout the world. Almost 100 events are taking place during the weekend of November 17-18, and many will be streaming live online here: http://tedxyouthday.ted.com/.
