Hello,

I barely write on here anymore since I have a dumb livejournal for
all my innermost feelings and internet scrapbooking.
But stuff is good and I'm a little to tired to finish the page I'm drawing.

I just put up some pages I did when I was 21 and one from when I was 16
here:

I've been making these comics since forever, I always forget all of the false
starts, rejected and half done projects but I think how much I enjoy my life now is kind of built on those. It's pretty amazing how much this job of comics slaps you down. It's almost comical all of the rugs that have gotten pulled out from under me doing this, I imagine it's like that for anyone that would hang around comic books for this long. Shit, look at Kirby.

It seems real simple to just want to draw and live off of my own comics but It is kind of a lot to ask for. like "pay me to do exactly what I want to every day."
If anything it's made it all the more gratifying that as shakey as it is I get to do that now.

And I'm so spoiled, I did a job last month off of somone elses script and it didn't even feel like comics to me because it wasn't whatever I felt like at the moment. I do so many scenes that start off as one thing and then I see a national geographic with a buffalo and I get to add one to the next page.
Like you can draw anything. How fucking cool is that.

You know that sentance, I think it's:
Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo.
meaning buffalo from the city of buffalo bully buffalo from buffalo or something like that. I like that.

Anyway I'm tired.
I will leave this poor internet with that nonsense.

Great stuff in your journal. If I'd known that was the spot I'd have been over there.

Hey I just finished reading Pluto to the latest chapter after I read about it on your blog, so thanks for the suggestion.

It's fantastic, but then even more mind-blowing once I discovered it was based on this: [link]

That video is so cool.
I'd heard that is was based off of a might atom
story but I hadn't been able too see all the characters like that.
Thanks for the link.

Man the chinese have our asses kicked on this ish, check this out:

« Shī Shì shí shī shǐ »
Shíshì shīshì Shī Shì, shì shī, shì shí shí shī.
Shì shíshí shì shì shì shī.
Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì.
Shì shí, shì Shī Shì shì shì.
Shì shì shì shí shī, shì shǐ shì, shǐ shì shí shī shìshì.
Shì shí shì shí shī shī, shì shíshì.
Shíshì shī, Shì shǐ shì shì shíshì.

Shì shì shì shì.

Which means:

« Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den »
In a stone den was a poet Shi, who was a lion addict, and had resolved to eat ten.
He often went to the market to look for lions.
At ten o'clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market.
At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market.
He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused the ten lions to die.
He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den.
The stone den was damp. He asked his servants to wipe it.
After the stone den was wiped, he tried to eat those ten lions.
When he ate, he realized that those ten lions were in fact ten stone lion corpses.
Try to explain this matter.

SHI-t

Aren't gunpowder and the abacus enough for them.
Do they have to kick the wests ass so hard at one word sentances.

I can't even start to try to explain this matter.
