1:49 am - YES!
|
Mike, you are a lazy, LAZY nugget, but I FINALLY got the site verified!
Today, ladles and germs, I introduce you to something new. For the first time since grade school, I am involved in a collaborative process. What happened was this: Mike drew this weird little creature on a Post-It, a fat little thing with a pot and the word SAUCE! over its head. Originally, it was probably just going to end up thrown away, but something about the little beast caught my eye. I asked if I could use it, and Mike obliged me. So I took this little dumpling and started making cartoons about him. Right now I'm up to about ten. He's now known among us as Sauce, or sometimes the sauce-monster. The cartoons were a pretty big hit at cartoonist club, and Mike's interest in particular was piqued. So he decided to get in on a full-blown collaboration, and now he's making Sauce comics too! Those will premiere further down the line. However, the start to the Sauce series has already officially posted!
So, what are you waiting for? Get on down there with a bowl and spoon and help yourself to some SAUCE!

1:04 am - Not Just New Bunnies!
|
First of all, Bunnies! Ahhh, Honey . . . you may be a clever little mammal, but you can be an IDIOT sometimes. :-)
Secondly, I've got a new side project coming up, this one a collaborative between myself and a Mister Mike Hales, a fellow member of the SF Cartoon Conspiracy. Keep your eye on this spot Wednesday, and look for my link!

12:04 am - New Story Tiem!
|
Going someplace new today! This story is annoying as hell to plot out and still not completely set yet, but I anticipate good times doing it. Well, for you anyway, for me I anticipate a lot of screaming and hitting my head on the table at Starbucks.
Enjoy!

3:55 am - One final indulgence
|
This last one is done in pencils, which I seem to hate doing for this kind of thing, because no matter how hard I work it always feels like something I ripped out of a notebook from high school. Of course, that might also be the it's-4-goddamned-AM talking.
It's incomplete and still needs a bunch of retooling, but there's not much else in the misc. file to post right now. Fuck it, I like it, and it's almost my birthday!

12:12 am - Gallery Week begins!
|
My first offering is an oldie-but-goodie. A while back, I had a pair of friends (if you would like to out yourselves here, ladies, now is your chance!) who decided to collaborate on a comic. One drew and one wrote, and they were very excited about their first project, which was really quite ambitious. I told them that I would make their first piece of fanart, and that I would promote their comic once it got online.
Unfortunately, the project ended up dying in-utero, but not before I'd finished a little something for them. This girl was their lead character, Madeleine, with the ability to manipulate her surroundings with the music she played. Of course, she no longer has that context, but she doesn't seem to need one here - I think she stands - er, swings alone quite nicely, don't you?

Hell, at this point, I'm just glad I had something ready to post!
Alternate Thursdays are "cartoonist club" days for me, and occasionally the only time I get any real socializing. By "cartoonist club", I specifically mean the San Francisco chapter of the International Cartoon Conspiracy. It meets approximately twice a month. Usually, the group works together to produce a jam comic of some sort where everyone adds several panels to a piece with a predetermined theme. Of course, you always have those hermity little shits who don't usually add to the jam and work by themselves (hello!). Last night I actually DID join the jam, and it was fun, and I also inked a few pages of project and managed to toss off this weird little wonder gracing the front page today. I STILL have no idea where it came from . . . but I am glad it's here!
On a side note, we're going to be having an event at the Cartoon Art Museum on the 29th, making custom holiday decorations for people, so if you're around and have a dollar or two to burn, stop on by! You can check out the details of the event on the previously-linked website. Incidentally, I made the art for that flyer, and Brian K. did the coloring/shading so yeah . . . love us!!!
Next week is Vanity Week, the week of (or in this case before) my birthday, during which I can pretty much post whatever the goddamned hell I want to. On the plus side, prepare for daily weekday updates! On the minus side, prepare for some SERIOUS id venting! :-D

12:34 pm - Better late than never
|
Okay, late again, but at least I got the day right this time - getting better at this! It's another double-sizer, too.
Not a good week to be a squirrel!
I'm mad at the economy and the state and my school and large sections of the world today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

11:58 am - A Tasty Treat!
|
Well, I finally got a new one up and running. Yes, it's borrowing a joke a bit, but since I'm borrowing it from myself, I'm not too perturbed. :-)
Anyways, I've gotten some reader mail in the last few days, which is always a treat, and a good Mister Nate Monday has sent me something very cool! Apparently, he was making pumpkin cookies this past Halloween, found a squirrel-shaped cookie cutter and, well . . . .
The results speak very well for themselves. Behold, squirrels, and just the way my Bunnies and I like them - adorable AND delicious!

New Bunnies are up.
Sorry for the delay. After a hiatus, especially if other aspects of life are more demanding, the urge to quit can become quite strong. It's still there, a little, but for the wrong reason. Quitting might make life a little easier, but much less happier.

2:25 am - Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years!
|
AT GODDAMNED LAST.
It took a little over six hours in Photoshop, mostly because I'm an anal-retentive bastard, and there's still stuff I would love to take another six to fix. Still, it's done, and all things considered, I'm quite happy with it. So let's all raise a little Hell this season! :-D
So, yep, Bunnies restarts again on Monday (oh lord.) Going to try to hit the ground running on that one. In the meantime:
Have a happy and horrifying Halloween!

|
|
Okay, there's a new Bunnies piece going up today but it is very detail intensive and I am tired and must sleep GOD DAMN YOU PHOTOSHOP.

11:33 am - Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
|
Howdy, friendslist. It's been a while since I checked in here, so I figured I'd post something to provide a compelling counterpoint to the idea that I'm actually dead.
So, what am I doing? Well, I managed to untie that writer's knot, so now it's a matter of catching up production. Working on that, including a killer Halloween idea that I hope turns out as pretty as I'd like it. Working on some other side projects, although one of them appears to be on thin ice at the moment. The good news is, if Mike doesn't bring in at least one comic to show me on Thursday, then I'm drowning him in his own cup of coffee, and you get to see the aborted results on the Bunnies site!
My main preoccupation these days is looking for work. It's harder than it looks. There isn't a lot out there at the moment, and being in an urban center, competition is pretty stiff. Picture about five hundred frantic pigeons flapping feathers and disease, all zeroing in on a lone bagel in Central Park, and you'll get the gist of it.
Hope my next update is a little less on-the-fence. Folks like happy news!
