I've realized that when others draw me, they tend to give me spritely and childish characteristics (often described as "Gremlin-like"), despite being of average size and suspicious demeanor. So in Response to Seedoi's semi-recent post, I thought I'd set things straight.Click image for full view.

Just scanned 66 comics that I now have to clean up.

I swear! Been updating portfolio, boning up on Illustrator, drawin', comic-ing (which I'll post one of these days), and of course, "ye olde favorite Photoshoppe":Story: Last week I went to an animation meeting where they served deer heart marinated in beer for us to snack on. I'm still not sure whether I passed on it because of Bambi's mom or because the meat reeked of beer fumes. No matter, I

Cold weather always seems to slow me down. Somewhere deep in my brain a switch is set on "primordial" because, like clockwork, once the harvest season rolls around and snow falls I find myself assessing nooks and enclosures for hibernation potential. On the plus side I can walk around with a blanket toga without receiving questioning looks. (Either that or my roommates are as strange as I am)

Been working on a storyboard portfolio and re-editing my other one, which involved scrapping a lot of stuff I was proud of at some point. (Which I guess makes me happy).Not that I'm sad now, but I sure was when I drew this.This came about when I actually listened to what I say when I'm talking to myself.Sketch doodle...needs more ACTION!

I moved 2 months ago and have spent the whole time settling; which for me isn't unpacking but finding the best place to sleep on my bed that doesn't make me feel paranoid in my new room.Trying to keep busy in order to stay sane, but it's a killer on those days when nothing looks quite right... seems like I've been having a lot of those lately.

I've been compiling journal comics for some time now, just so I can update with as safe amount of backlog. Problem is now those comics have become outdated! I think what I'm going to do is post the most recent ones and create an archive of the oldies that have never been seen.

I got an internship at Midway Games (how the heck did that happen?!) and while my productivity level is about the same, scanning and posting stuff has only gotten harder. On the plus side, my current sketchbook, Barnabus, is almost filled! I'm giving it until the end of the month, at the latest May 18th, which is the day I finally flippin' graduate!!!I can't seem to find the white background

Geez, I need to give myself blog deadlines or something. It's one thing to be unproductive (which I'm not, I SWEAR!), but I just never bother showing my stuff. Maybe it's an innate fear of failure. Or pickiness. Or I just end up reading or drawing instead of posting....yeah, I think that's it.I doodled this in math class. African? Japanese? Afro-Japanese? Who knows what's influencing me.One

Wow, have I been lazy lately. Tonight is New Years Eve (and also the big bro's b-day), and I've made up my mind to finish this sketch book and start the new year with a fresh one. Normally I finish one every season, but this one was started waaaaay back in August. What a disappointment!Here's a few noodle doodles from the current "Ghosts inna Drawer":Surfin the Sofa: aka "Crazy from

Man, it's always so hard to stay on task when you can't even work up the motivation. I've such a demanding schedule that procrastination isn't easy anymore. Oh well. Wednesday night I did manage the time to wander over to Bill Plympton's secret screening of the unfinished Angels and Idiots. Not that my opinion amounts to much, but I liked it. What was shown was a Leica reel with quite a few

Here's an assorted backlog of stuff!I really do love Lynda Barry. I want to go to one of her workshops, but I never have the dough.From a sketch jam in L.A.... My buddy Graham and I didn't want to run dry on ideas (and embarrass ourselves!) in front of the other animators, so we challenged each other with theme drawings. This one is "Punk".I'm most relaxed when I'm drawing heads.I have tons of

Not that it matters anyway. What can I say? I've been 21 for a few months now, still so freshly into it that I never remember I can legally buy liquor. I'm paranoid, too. Sometimes charmingly so. If I had a sound effect it would be "Grouch, grouch, grouch." Not that I'm really that crabby, but try saying it really fast. It's fun!I'm a Senior level animation student in Chicago, and despite
