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.

As you can see, I’ve decided to create a comic designed to become the next blockbuster movie hit…(I’ll replace this with a proper scan when the comic is finished & I can bring myself to tear it out of my sketchbook.)

Multiple Internet Presence Disorder Worsens

In the quest to inflict my doodlings on as wide an audience as possible, I have entered the realms of Farcebook. Click away if you’re into that sort of thing!

You can also find me on Livejournal and some more specialized networks: We Make Zines, Poopsheet Foundation, and Comicspace.

I’m hoping to overhaul this website soon, once I set aside some time and come to grips with ComicPress.

Guest Strip @ Sordid City Blues

I plum forgot to mention that I have a guest strip up this week (my first ever!) at Charles Schneeflock Snow’s Sordid City Blues. Go read the archives first – not only will it make my strip funnier, it’s a good comic! (For those reading this after this week, here’s my strip’s permalink). Congratulations to Charles & his wife on their new baby!

Updates are comin’…

So…I lost energy for a while and stopped updating the site; then when I tried to start, my site had a weird spam issue so I stopped again. I’ve finally gotten around to updating my installation of Wordpress, which I think should fix the problem. I’m a little embarrassed not to have a big backlog of comics waiting, but I do have a couple installments of Spinning World and the final pages of Mission to the Heathens, plus a new minicomic to sell and a bunch of big (and/or little) ideas.

I also plan to redesign this site. I basically know how I want it to look, I just need to put in the work to make it happen (and bend Comicpress to my will).

I hope all is well with you!

Pulled into the public eye

Wow, I’ve been so out of it that not only have I hardly drawn anything, but I forgot to post last month’s Spinning World (and even weirder, I uncharacteristically lettered it in all caps and didn’t notice ’til afterward)! It’s up now, posted under the date it would have been.

As much as I may still(!) need time to hibernate, spring has sprung, and I can hide no more. I have a piece in the new Always Comix vol. 5: Evil. It’s an evil little book for the evil little price of $7, and you can learn more and get it here, and see a page of my comic here.

The Keene Sentinel recently interviewed me (and others) for a nice article about the Trees & Hills Comics Group (there’s even a photo – look out!). EDIT: Arg, it’s behind a subscription wall now! I’ll see if i can get a copy to post.

This coming weekend I will be staffing the Trees & Hills table at the Maine Comics Arts Festival in Portland, ME, which is clearly going to be an excellent show (organized by the fine folks at Casablanca Comics). I will, sadly, not be joining my T&H comrades at MoCCA in NYC the first weekend in June this year, but I do hope to have a new minicomic out by then.

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.

Monadnock Community Gardening Talk

Oh dear, I’m giving a talk this Saturday to “officially” kick off the Monadnock Community Gardening & Seed Saving Initiative with which I am involved. Wish me luck! Fortunately for everyone there will be plenty of other fun things to do at the Celebration.
