I now have a Livejournal

It's so I can post pictures into the comments sections of other livejournal pages (most of the web-artists I dig use livejournal).

Fr'instance, Harvey James came up with this assignment where you take a little drawing of a cat that he's done, and you turn into a drawing of a person.

I actually decided to participate.
Here's what I did:

I'm back.

Classy People

So, this past Thursday, I was doodling in a sketchbook. I started off randomly sketching a person... it turned into a representation of myself. Then I added all my friends that I was hanging out with that night... to make myself seem a little less vain. What's more, I made us all very classy!

the cast: TJ with a cup of tea, Barry with a monocle and pipe, Myself with a scarf and bubble pipe, Krista with a champagne flute full of poison, a surly-looking Jake with turtleneck and a blazer, and Doug with a bowtie and tin of caviar.

Yes, we're all awesome.

past and present

Okay, last post I said I'd show you what Silent C used to look like. So, here it is. Umm... can't think of anything else to say about it at the moment.

coming soon...

Back in 2002 and thereabouts, I drew a comic strip that I called "The Book of Sighs." It revolved around a character named Silent C (who had no face) and his friends, all of which were super-heroes (with maybe a villain or two). To this day, I think that my best attempts at humor lie in those old pages. The humor was silly, the characters were far-fetched, and there was the ever-present melancholy. When I look at my more recent comics, I see a trend for lighter, more realistic comedy. ...And frankly, it doesn't seem as worth-while. In my attempts to mature my story-telling, I've been using a different type of humor. It's not bad (I've been told), it's just, well, different. Well, I say it's time to bring back the old comics, redrawn with my somewhat improved skills.

I'll still continue my other comic, if I can get past a little writer's block, but I'm looking forward to getting my pencils back to what I consider my definitive series.

Maybe you'll look forward to it as well.
