Heya folks, still alive and the comic is still in production. just been caught up in a lot. The holidays kept me busy, new school term started and was hired to do illustrations for a children's comic so I've had a lot on my plate.

Currently workin on pages five and six as I write this.

Howdy folks, workin hard on new pages and material. The last college term of the year came to an end on wednesday so most of my time had been spent working on finals and finally things are cleared up and over with leaving time to work on the comic again. I'm sketching out the next few pages as I speak (or rather type as it were) so new pages should be here soon.

Tis the holiday season approachin fast and in retrospect, this years been kinda cruddy so I'm lookin forward to it bein over with. Even my dang holidays are gonnna stink. Ma and her BF are headin away for the holidays so I'm spending christmas alone. Ya noticing a trend here? Practically 21 years of bein single (almost 22 now), spendin the holidays alone, livin in my mothers rinky dink apartment all cause I have a crappy dead end job and I'm obsessed with comics. I have become a cliche'!!! *emo emo emo rage rage rage* (Yeah it's a vent journal lay off >.>)

Least I've finally gotten the comic runnin, that's somethin I can be proud of.

Now that things are runnin smoothly and updates and art are steady I thought i'd come to you, the readers, and find out what is it you would like to see from the comic? or perhaps any suggestions on ways to make the comic or gallery better? I want the fans to be as big a part of teh comic as I am so let yer voices be heard!

And of course like most things a lil funding always helps so if you feel like donating to the comic to keep it runnin smoothly then any and all donations can be made via Paypal.com. Every penny helps and all donations welcome.

In short.. I need one >.>;;

In my eternal quest to keep the comic running till a suitable background artist can be obtained I thought I'd offer a promotional treat. The first three to reply to this journal will be drawn in to the comic as cameos ^^

Well it seems I spoke a lil too soon, my background artist's computer took a serious dive and is pretty much gone meanin she wont be able to continue helpin me make the comic so if you or anyone you know at all would be interested then let me know or pass the word along.

This could be a great deal as well because I plan on publishing the comic at some point and will pay you half of every sale not to mention the free publicity you'll get and a it's a great start into the comic industry for us both.

Please help. if you would like to try then let me know and I will e-mail you the comic template. or if you have any suggestions for other artists who may be interested then let me know as well.

Ok that took a tad longer than i expected it to... my bad ^^;

Anyhoozle, yay I'm back! whoo! yay me!! Happy to be back and with an improved comic and art style along with my new background artist  HowAreYouGentlemen

I hope you al enjoy the new comic and I'll keep you updated with production art and news so as not to let the gallery die.. again >.>;

been a looooong time since I touched this account what with me being extremely busy with my other comic  Action_Sloth and my main art account  SlackerJAW but in my absence I have been working to begin work again on CHEAT but I still face a small problem....

I NEED A BACKGROUND ARTIST! if you or someone you know would be interested in the position then by all means drop a comment or send me a note and be a part of history as I do intend on publishing the re-vamped CHEAT comic right off the bat as soon as book one is completed. I can handle coloring but if anyone wants to double as a colorist or work along side as a third member then thats great too but my main focus is a background artist. Thanks in advance and I appologize for my absence.

Takin a quick wander through my gallery you will notice alot missing, that is because this account will only be used for the comic CHEAT from her eon out just as my other comic acount  Action_Sloth will be used solely for that comic as well. to view both comics in one package as well as all my random art and such as well as commissioned drawings and the like they will only be seen at  SlackerJAW Thank you, and I apologize for any inconvenience

Howdy folks,
Well for those of ya who don't know (everybody) My birthday is comin right around the corner. March 1st I turn 20 years old and have to officially lose the teen portion in my title... I feel old now >w<

oh and for anyone who feels generous enough to help me out
Paypal: JakeAW[at]yahoo.com (I feel so greedy typing that lol... I swear it all goes to helpin me and my family out)

I totally stole this from  D6016 mwahahaha... eh he doesnt give a damn.. anyway.. onward and awkward!

1: I have Tourette syndrome (this causes alotta awkward moments over the phone, i swear my grunting is not cause I'm jackin off...)

2:My skull grew over it's self (I have a small ridge under my hair cause of it. it's freaky)

3: when I was younger I had a dyed blonde mullet (I was the whitest trash 7 year old you ever seen! I tell you whut!)

4: there is no spoon (this is a lie.. i have a bunch... also from what i hear a certain cake is a lie too.. f#*k cake. i like pie better.. pie never lied to me...)

5: I actually loved liver and onions as a child.. still do.. (with some fava beans and a nice kianti..)

6: I have at one point or another put any kind of leftover there is in between two pieces of bread. (bread=Edible plates)

7: ummm... wow.. i really dont have a life so I don;t think i have a 7th thing...

8: yer still here?... LOOK A DISTRACTION!!! *runs*

lol ok anyhoo I've gone and created a second account, seein as how with this account bein named for my comic Cheat and that bein on hiatus i figured why not make one to put under a real name i can use more often. That can be found here  SlackerJAW I'll still update here but most of y ideas more then likely will end up winding their way to that account so watch it and keep yer eyes peeled.

Name 12 of your original characters.

I. Orville "Jay" Derrigan (Action Sloth)
II. Cheat (CHEAT)
III. Bozzy (Way Out Where)
IV. Alanya (CHEAT)
V. Lucy (Way Out Where)
VI. Jake D'mole (Me; what? I'm original... >.>)
VII. Ikvut Calamity (Calamity)
VIII. Enok (SlackerJAW Radio)
IX. Rozz Wellsley (Calamity)
X. Scratch (Way Out Where)
XI. Al Eon (Calamity)
XII. Elise (Phobia)

I. I , VI , and XI are all told to wait in a room together until someone comes in to get them. Let's say no one does. Who would leave the room first?

Orville would be the first to get antsy and investigate, Jake would just fiddle in his seat till he had to pee then leave, and Al may just sit there for weeks till someone nudged him and woke him outta his daydreaming.

II. If II had to do one nice thing for VIII, what would it be?

Despite Cheat's already confusing motive of being an honorable thief I doubt he'd have it in him to help a lil prick like Enok

III. If IV and VII co-stared in a movie, what genre would it most likely fall under?

Action/Comedy/Romance. It'd be a good two hours of Alanya beatin the snot outta a dimwit like Ikvut who has a thing for redheads.

IX. If III was made into a toy, who would be more likely to buy it? IX or X?

Scratch definitely, Bozzy is his hero. His very abusive, evil hero... It's complicated -w-;

V. Would V be likely to consider stalking XII or vise versa?

hell no, they'd hit it off like no other. Freakin girly girls.. both of em.

VI. What would VI make the better star of? An anime or a newspaper comic strip?

Both if possible, bring on the attention whoring!!

VII. VIII wants to buy a car but can't decide who offers a better bargan. Should (s)he buy from II or XI?

Well, if Enok was lookin to get ripped off by all means he could buy from Cheat... course he could get a car that was "suped up" by the good ol Dr. Al Eon and have a chance of bein in an experimental test rocket car that may explode upon ignition. Tough call

VIII. If V wanted to dye his or her hair but could not decide on the color, would (s)he rely on I's opinion or IV's?

Well both Lucy and Alanya have red hair so thats outta the question. And I really don't see Lucy askin Orville for fashion tips, comic book geeks aren't exactly known for their fashion..

IX. Whose babies would be cuter? XII and III's or IX and II's? (If it is impossible for them to breed because of gender or species, just go with it and pretend that it was possible, please.)

Hmmm.. well between a girly tyrant with buggy eyes or a giant alien frog it's hard to tell....

X. Who would have a DeviantArt account; and if not, what would their reason be?

Scratch would be on DA in a heartbeat, all 5 of his hearts... his sixth had a heart attack.

and thats all I have to say about that heh just fillin up space and updatin my journal

Howdy all, I have been playing around quite a bit with my mic and such seein just how far my voce can stretch and though I have a very wide range as many can tell you, there are some voices I still for the life of me cant do for obvious reasons. So because of this in due time when I have the chance to learn flash properly (Which could take quite some time as I must wait to actually get the program and learn what i can from college courses) I am hoping to of course animate many of my projects. Among them of course being CHEAT and a few shorts here and there. So I ask you, yes you, are ya interested in trying out those pipes to land ya a role in future cartoons to come?

I am of course seeking female and male roles to fill. if you are interested in the characters I'm looking for drop me a line or just send me a WAV. or MP3. of you spittin out as many voices as you can. All are welcome to try out as I have limitless characters.

(Edit: If you do call me on skype be aware that i do have Tourette syndrome and edit out all my coughing and sputtering on the SlackerJAW radio segments)

Howdy all, for all those interested in getting or already have the newest installment in the Animal Crossing series "City folk" for the Wii feel free to drop me a line and add my friend code: 2063-2929-8399

Second of all for those interested the winner of the Action Sloth design yer own villain contest is the ONLY participant  Veridian congrats on winning again lol

Commission update: sorry for the wait on alotta teh commissions I owe y'all. they will be done but between school work, searching for a job and doin everythin i can to earn enough cash to get by alotta projects have been on hold but i am still sketching out what i can when i can. so I promise you will receive your commissions.

You are a very sensitive person and you try hard (perhaps a little too hard) to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers. But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired and you are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. Stop trying so hard.

You are totally dissatisfied with your present situation. Matters are not going right for you and you are seeking a means of escape. Your mental state of mind necessitates that you need to change your thinking patterns. Remember, if one particular modus operandi doesn't seem to work, then try something different.

You have a high opinion of yourself. It is perhaps because of this self-centredness that you become exasperated when you feel that your needs are misinterpreted by those around you. When this happens - and it does quite often - you feel that there is no-one that can understand the way you feel and it is because of this egocentric self that you are quick to take offence.

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.

You need to be respected as an exceptional individual. This is the only way that you can hope to achieve the status that you wish to achieve. You set yourself very high standards - and come what may - you abide by them."

hmm, now what could this be >.> wait.. is it.. yes it is! Another AS contest! heh after writing down quite a few good lil ideas using the winning characters of the last contest I realised action Sloth has alotta new friends now... but i can only come up with so many enemies.

And so this is where you come in, IT'S TIME TO DESIGN YER VERY OWN VILLAIN!!

thats right after havin y'all throw in a few heroic and average joe characters into the ring I decided AS needed some more baddies to fight and so for all those who are interested, here are the rules.

1. These villains can be from anywhere you like wether it be from an alternate dimension, a far off planet, or even right in Action Sloth's very own neighborhood. The stranger the better, feel free to go all out with these characters! Please add the name, description, a lil history on the character, personality, and unique traits.

2. After submitting yer entry for the AS villain please title "AS Villain:(Characters name)" and send me a note of teh finished product.

3. You have till december 5th at midnight to get any and all entries in.

What the winners will receive!

Now there will not be 3 winners to this contest, but 5! and depending on how you design yer character the more or less they will have to do in the AS universe so don't hold back and have fun makin yer own baddie. Now get to it!!

I dunno if this has happened to you, but this is a very common occurence for me and honestly its kinda starting to worry me.. it happens more and more all the time.

I will be laying down and suddenly I feel my body fall asleep but i can still see hear and feel everything as if my mind never fell asleep. I cant move or talk. the most i can do is shiver and scream (or hum real loudly since I cant open my mouth) and it takes a few seconds to a few minutes before I can move again of my own accord. for more info check it out here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

Seriously i already have tourettes syndrome, I really dont need this crap too >.<

So i was wondering if anyone else out there has any weird or abnormal lil mental issues like me. To be honest it would be nice to know I aint the only one. I have yet to meet anybody with anythin near the same symptoms as tourettes or this new sleep paralysis crap goin on.

Hey folks, i aint gonna beat around the bush... due to not bein able to find a real job and bein on the verge of losing my home I am now accepting all donations and am starting commissions. I am very cheap and will work through the night to get yer drawing done. And until i can actually settle a bit and not have to worry about making rent and actually getting to eat somethin besides one packet of ramen a day, Cheat and all other projects will be put on hold.
