Still getting used to life in a new apartment

Kubrick Patterns

Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:18:00 -0500

My girlfriend and I are embarking on a cross stitch quest to pay homage to our favorite director, Stanley Kubrick. We’re starting with the Shining, and the greatest carpets of cinema.

We drank a lot of coffee and drew pixels all morning. I did the first, she the second.

December Diary 1

Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:30:18 -0500

Dang, I finally have to replace some of these markers that I bought five years ago.

A little diary comic

Did you know that Black Wednesday is a thing? I did not…

How I became a rap legend

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 20:06:29 -0400

I made this comic five years ago, about my wonderful time hanging out with Hov.

(…sorry)

College Boy Wonder

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 02:54:00 -0400

I’ve resisted drawing the Boy Wonder again for years, for fear of going back to the well, but Fall always makes me nostalgic. I’ve been thinking about my college days (get ‘em, Donks), and ol’ Robin felt like a good avatar for 19 year old me.

On being sick

Still trying to draw comics on a regular schedule… getting there!

hey! I miss your comics. make any lately?

Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:08:00 -0400

Hello! I’ve been spending a lot of time marathon training, and almost none at my drawing board. However, I started drawing again after I read your message, and I will try to get back onto a weekly schedule. Thanks for reading :)

Embroidery Comics 2

Fri, 04 May 2012 12:46:22 -0400

This was still practice for another embroidered comic I had planned. But boy, this stuff is time-consuming, so I think I need to take a pen and ink break. I also want to do embroidery portraits some day! Again, click it for details.

My girlfriend taught me to embroider, and I LOVE it. This is practice for something much more ambitious! (Click it for better quality).

Fleeting: A Minicomic

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 03:57:00 -0400

I’m sorry for how long this is. Almost four years ago, when I was 20 years old, I had a very indulgent Summer. I quit my awful job at a movie theater, and devoted the remaining months of Summer break to bike riding, drinking, and documenting my experiences in a minicomic.

It’s embarrassing to read a lot of this now, but there are some things I’m surprised by (it’s been years since I’ve seen most of these). I made a small batch of the minicomic, sold them to some kind souls, and unfortunately never printed or assembled any more. I’ve felt guilty about never delivering to all of the people who asked for a copy, so I hope—if any of these people are still reading years later—that posting the entire comic will serve as an apology of sorts. The first tiny comic is a little bookmark I made for each copy, giving context to the entire thing. The final image is sort of the cliffs note version of everything, which I don’t remember ever posting.

Again, a lot of this is embarrassing, but I hope you enjoy it. It’s weird to see how cocky I was, my drawn self 130 lbs heavier, and how hardy I partied. If anyone actually wants one, I suspect I have a box of halfmade ones… somewhere…

LEARNING TO LOSE, PT 2

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:17:00 -0500

I’m sorry that this is taking so long. It’s been a difficult one to write, but I’m still going. Hopefully the next installment will be up soon!

LOSING

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 03:57:49 -0500

I’ve tried to start this comic many times before. I’ve had enough trouble getting my mind around losing 125 lbs over the last couple years that sorting it out in a comic was impossible. This is just the first part, so please bear with me as I do this one page at a time.

Return to the Pokémon League

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 04:13:00 -0500

I tried drawing my comic about losing 125 lbs, but failed. Then I tried drawing some regular diary comics, but failed again. So, I started playing Pokémon White, and drew this.

Meet Ellenore Eclipse

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:52:40 -0500

I will still draw diary comics sometimes; for now, I’m happy just to do some kind of little comic every day. This is a comic I’ve had in my mind for a long time, and I hope the homage is obvious (especially the title card). I hope to make more comics about Ellenore Eclipse!

Sixty Four

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 06:50:00 -0500

Goldeneye, Shadows of the Empire, Mario 64, & Ocarina, respectively.

Return of the Journal Comics

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 02:42:03 -0500

For now, I’ve skipped 11/24. It’s going to be expanded into its own comic soon! Got a nice big sketchbook, too.

Oh, yes. More.
