A jam drawing with Anne Thalheimer, drawn the same night as the Monster Party and the Graveyard Party (you may notice some consistency of theme here; that’s because we are Great Artists).
Disco Monsters
Drawings
Graveyard Party
Another comics jam with Anne Thalheimer — I drew the first panel, she did the second, and so one.
Device
I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day if I can help it, but here’s a sort of relevant comic anyway:
Monster Party
A jam comic I drew with monster hat maven Anne Thalheimer (she drew the first panel, I did the second, and so on):
Birthday Book Cover
I drew this as a birthday gift for Daniel Barlow, who besides co-founding Trees & Hills with me also photographs cemeteries as one half of Green Mountain Graveyards:
Wedding Comic
I drew this as a wedding gift for a friend of mine who really likes moose (and for her fiance spouse, too, of course):
Bonus: while searching for reference pictures I found an adorably wonky but enthusiastic “I Love Moose” site and learned about an experimental moose farm in Russia!
Continental breakfast while you wait
New comics are still a little ways off, as there are a couple anthologies I want to submit to with June 1 deadlines – hopefully I’ll make one of them (two seems very unlikely). In the meantime, I’ve brought in a band to entertain you:
Stand back when they bust out the jams!
Fathertron
Whoops, no comic today, but here’s the Father’s Day card I made for my dad:
Comic tomorrow, OK?
The Mother’s Day the Earth Stood Still
Here’s the card I made for my mom:
Despite the various usual flaws, I’m really happy with how the cover came out – something in the composition or the use of blacks or something just makes it feel “right” to me.

Airport Sketch
Here’s a sketch of a small portion of Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, drawn while waiting for takeoff a couple years ago. More sketches at my Picasa page.

99 Doodles 01: Boxcar Turtle
Quite some time ago I declared my intention to participate in Anthony Woodward‘s 99 Doodles Challenge, and at long last I have not only drawn my first five Doodles, but scanned them, too. It is a pretty easygoing challenge, requiring only 99 drawings of some sort, with no time limit, and I have been very busy – so here we are. I have decided to do my doodles on 4″ x 6″ index cards, which should make them easy to frame; I plan to sell them for $10 each, except for this one. This one’s gone already.
Know what other nutty project I’m doing? You probably do since it’s right below this entry: Comics By Request!!!
