About Me: James Riot was the first child born to unstable parents, Mordichai and Velma. A happy couple, perturbed at the idea of having to raise a child, as it would cut into their favorite hobby of tricking the neighborhood children into eating their own pets. Despite heavy drinking and smoking during pregnancy, little Riot survived child birth. At the age of 20 months, Riot was beginning to learn to speak when a doctor told his family that he seemed to be developmentally delayed and possibly mildly retarded. His father took the opinion to extremes, believing that he was profoundly retarded, and took him to the ocean and threw him in. Rescued from death by the horrible denizens of the undersea city R'lyeh, Riot was raised under the sea...playing amidst the massive slumbering form of Cthulhu. This close proximity was not without incident, however, as when Riot emerged from the bosom of the sea 25 years later, he returned to the world of man with malice in his heart and destruction on his mind. A weapon of the Great Old Ones, tempered at the unfathomable depths of the unforgiving sea.
Then he discovered whiskey, moved to southern California, and makes a living doing freelance artwork and drawing comics. He likes re-reading old Lovecraft stories to the point of insanity, sex with undeniably insane women, Orange Chicken from Panda Express, and B-grade horror movies. His parents hate it when he tells that story. |

Me Likes: Zombies, Bad Religion, girls not afraid to throw a punch, girls not afraid to throw a punch at me, girls that'll just as soon punch you in the face as kiss you, rough sex, dirty talk, chains, leather, spikes, sneakers, jeans, nothing fancy, people who don't want to "sell the image" or other bullshit like that. |

Pet Peeves: scenesters, kids who give me the devil sign and yell, "PUNK ROCK!" when they're wearing a "My Chemical Romance"shirt and jeans four sizes too small, the comic "EMO BOY". Honestly, who the fuck buys that?! Reality shows, MTV, religious fanatics(especially the ones I live with), my car always breaking down, people who ask where to find something that's five feet away from them under a GIANT SIGN describing what it is, and so on... |
|
Pays the Bills?!: In THEORY I pay the bills with freelance illustrating jobs, mostly tattoo designs and really perverted comissions from guys who want to see a drawing of Scarlet from GI Joe sucking off Hong Kong Phooey. Shit like that. Otherwise, I just do what I have to...which this week is work for a ship chandler. |

Wow, I am all sorts of busy right now, but it's all good busy. Which is weird.
Between the Wizard World Exclusive comic, the regular print run, I have about 30 drawings to do for a charity auction, a full-page pin-up to do for the Applegeeks book (which is due tomorrow!), a stack of commission jobs I'm a little afraid to start chipping away at. Not to mention we're in negotiations to do my comic as an animated feature! Now, if only all of this stuff would turn into money coming in right away, I'd be set!
Personal life is all good right now, too. The little lady starts her new job this week, and I have a few days off coming to try and make some headway in all this work I'm supposed to be doing.
Also, I don't know if the rest of you know this, but they've brought back Taco-flavored Doritos! Now I don't need to damage the space-time continuum by going back in time repeatedly to snag some from 1998! Though, there are still those trips back for Surge Cola...
But here's a little update about coloring book progress (I'll post some of the new drawings in the morning):
This is as much for me to keep track of what I'm doing as it is for you guys and gals to know how far along the book is.

I know I said 50 pages at the start, but I'll put in as many pages as models want in. You know the drill, friend me then send an email with how you want to look to riot.james@gmail.com. Cut-off date (because, otherwise, it'll never be finished) to get in will be Jan. 1st, 2009!
