Prehistoric Bitch

Watched Ghostbusters 1 and 2 for the gazillionth time last week. Never gets dull. This is what happened next.



Gozer was rockin' the bubble-suit before it was cool!

Brain Parts and Unpleasant People Reviewed!

HUGE news! Rob Clough picked up Brain Parts #0 and Unpleasant People #1 at this past MoCCA. I was totally stoked at the time, but kind of forgot about it when no review was posted in the following months. I just figured he didn't like them.

Turns out he liked them! The review was just posted on the Comics Journal website, alongside a review for Lena Chandhok's excellent work, which he picked up at the same time.

He had some constructive criticism, which I totally agree with, in problem areas that have been pointed out to me before. Knowing that someone read and really thought about my work is very motivating, as I've been in kind of a slump lately.

I realize a review probably isn't so big a deal to a lot of cartoonists, but this is the first time my work has been recognized outside of CCS!

Thanks for reading, Rob!

Hurrs a pik-churr! Herp-a-derp!

This whole "Twilight" thing gives me panic attacks and seizures. They've already started to pussy-fy werewolves! WEREWOLVES, people! We have to stop this from happening!
Dude with a gun is robbing the person to your right!

More Sketchy... I mean sketches...

Seaside shanty-town type deal... Pirate girl... I think I'd been watching the live action Popeye movie when this one came out.

Goth girl is goth.
Fun with a brushpen.


So, yeah, it's been maybe five years or so since my last blog post. Maybe a little less. Anyway, since my one-page comics are mostly about work and for discretion reasons I don't post them on my blog, I'll just post some random drawings. Sound good?

Volcano

Poor priest-guy. A good virgin is so hard to find.

Why, people? It looks SO STUPID! Why would you do that?!

Reasons why my sister and I should not watch reality tv together...

Why, "Dancing with the stars"??! You have ruined me! WHYYYYYYY???!?!??!

Attention-Whore

Time to get serious about regular updates! I have been quite negligent since MoCCA, but now that I'm graduated, I've got no excuses.

Okay, two jobs takes up a lot of my time, but not ALL of it!

My cat is an endless source of material. Not that I'm a crazy cat lady. Because I'm not. That would be crazy...

Judgement Day

Okay, so I know I've been completely ignoring this blog since MoCCA, but I had a good excuse... I GRADUATED FROM CCS!! Woo Hoo! I already feel more mature! That's a lie...

This comic is kinda old, but I'm suffering from a severe lack of new material. That will soon be remedied.

To be fair, everyone is a zombie at 4:45 in the morning.

Unpleasant People #1 Preview

So, I'll be at the MoCCA convention April 10 and 11. I'll be tabling with my pals Matt Aucoin, Tim Stout, Katherine Roy, Laura Terry and Garry-Paul Bonesteel (links to their respective awesome webpages at right). Here's a preview of my Sword-and-Sorcery-parody comic, Unpleasant People, the first issue of which I'll be selling. Along with other stuff.

Geek-out

Reasons why my sister and I shouldn't watch tv together. Things like this happen.

Dynamic Sign-Bearing

Anyone who was at SPX last year saw this kid. I've never seen such skilled sign-flipping in my life. I gotta say, that air-hump really got people's attention.

A Post With No Criticism!!

See, I'm not bitter ALL the time!

Great Moments in Terrible Facial Hair 2

The second instalment in the respected graphically representational series.

Poor cell phone etiquette

So, generally I don't post comics having to do with work (I work the front desk at a fitness club) because it's a small community, everyone knows everyone else and some of these folks know I have a blog. If I've got something negative to say about someone, I don't want it getting back to them. I don't believe I run the risk of this guy visiting my blog, though, since he obviously didn't consider me to be a person.

One of these days, I swear to god!

Great Moments in Terrible Facial Hair

Some things are just wrong.

Some Setting Sketches (Alliterative!!)

So, I have major problems with backgrounds and settings. Namely, they look like crap. So as an exercise, I started sketching backgrounds and settings without any regard to characters, perspective, accuracy or anything else I get hung up on. These are the results:

Character Sketches

Okay, time to stop being a lazy ass and start updating again. I've got some comics in the works, but for the time being, I'll throw out some sketches of sci-fi-type characters (bonus ass shot!), to warm up. Also, that's what I've got scanned right now. Voila!

One-Pagers

The entire Upper Valley, and I mean the WHOLE DAMN THING, was under construction over the summer. You couldn't get anywhere without being delayed half an hour. And then, of course, there were the "road work" signs that apparently applied to roadwork happening in another time zone.
