Can't believe it

This rain is incredibly strange and interesting. We are totally a different climate now and it is the fast thing on people's tongues for conversation. If I could, I'd make it work for my by staying home and drawing all day and watching movies. Unfortunately I'll have to do that as best I can at work. ha. doodles and the movies of my brain!

I blame the burger

I have no excuses anymore. Trying to make sense of my work output sometimes is like trying to make sense of the organization of a day and I've not been so good at that lately I guess. I have been pitching stuff for a yard sale and that is tough work, but the real reason I couldn't do anything was because I ate a really big meal and after reading about 8 comic books I knew wouldn't make the cut I had to take a nap that became sleep. I will work harder and avoid the evil that lurks within me and asks for rest and relaxing. Sinister or not sinister-- off the subject a bit I think Edward Norton would make a good Sinister but I wasn't thinking of him when I drew this.

happy Father's day dad!

Yup, posting in the morning again. Way late. Need to go. The title speaks for itself.

anger management

It isn't easy to manage anger and turn a sad face upside down. Kids know that and adults know that even though they may profess it to be easy. Everyone requires concessions be given up in order to make things agreeable. I don't necessarily like the word compromise and I think that as a whole person you can't agree to compromise all the time. Sometimes you have to stand up and get your way. The trouble comes from other people who feel the same. There is a certain beauty in being stubborn. We should all be stubborn when it comes to our dreams. This is an angry pic I made for Coast City Comics Grand Opening on Congress St. Check it out!

Lightning Fast

So I'm 29 now hurrah! It feels more like June is going by faster than my life really and I'm actually fine with that. I would just like to get a little more focused with my downtime but hey we all need to go with the flow as well. I worry that I have allowed myself to get too busy with extracurricular activities but that should be all part of the fun too. I just need to remember to relax and enjoy life as it is, busy or not. Here's a sketch I did over at Coast City this Saturday. Totally loving that place.

little fires

You ever have something that you want to get started really bad but the only time you can do it is when you have the least time? I run into this problem all the time. I am my most creative when I'm supposed to be doing something else. Ahh sigh. This picture I came up with on the way to a friend's gay wedding. I'm gay so I can say that. Just kidding, I could have called it a wedding, but you know context and foreshadowing. I made this because I'm pretty mad, like fighting wolverine angry about gay people getting stoned in their own country (Iraq and the Mideast) just for being gay. Not only that it's their own family doing it sometimes. I thought my family was bad sometimes, but they throw snowballs. So this is a brand new character. He's on the burner and his abilities make him mega powerful but he doesn't know it yet. Here he is coming into his own and decides he will no longer accept stones being thrown at him and instead will catch them in mid-air to use as shields before using them to fight his way clear. There would be a crazy exclamation there like RRAAAARRRHHHHHGGGHHH! Peace out to the mideast!

primal composure

I am definitely feeling the need to relax. There is a busy body side to everything you may label as "work" but if you aren't relaxing then you are essentially useless in that work. You can push out all the information and numbers and papers you can but if you don't know how to relax in the moment of your work then you are not working, you are a workaholic. Workaholics only hurt themselves. I'm going to bed now to prevent that. Cheers World!

Wow it has been a crazy weekend. You know you're getting old when the past comes up and freaks you right out. I don't know what to say because there seem to be so many people in flux right now and as scary as change is it is also exhilirating to see people undergo brilliant new versions of themselves. It can be crazy, but you just have to remember to keep a watchful eye on everything you love and defend it to the best of your ability. Underneath all that diligence for protecting what you love you can become paranoid, and what I know is that paranoia is good, but paranoia is only healthy if you can keep yourself happy and not fearful. Wow again I'm all cryptic right? I've dealt with a lot of people so I guess I was just trying to find a common thread. Don't lose yourself is what I guess I'm trying to say- we can all have our bad days but don't lose sight of all those good things right here, right now.

Road Blocks

We all have obstacles in our way of progress and we can be honest with ourselves and say Hey! Enough is enough! Do it and get it done! and at the same time we can be honest and say Hey! You are doing hard work! Good job! Get some rest! It can be tough for the president and it can be tough for me, but we are here to get the work done. So I was watching the NBC special on the White House and thought to myself that I could see myself working in an office with that much going on and feel extra drained at the end of the day. Even worse would be that every day I got to the office I had to defend what we were doing. Hey wait that is my job! So I'm going to give the Prez here a break and myself and go to bed. Then I'm going to wake up and try my best to get on track with the important stuff that needs to be done because people in my life got me to where I am today and I listen to my supporters. I think that is Obama's superpower with his great big ears.

whoa no excuses

Okay we all get excuses sometimes and they are totally valid. I for one, have never been a person with a schedule that is completely solid and at the same time, I've grown up a bit lately knowing that doing something is more significant than avoiding doing something, but sometimes not doing anything is doing a whole lot. BS I think it's called. ha. Well here's a taste of the new comic. He's a bad guy and this is just conceptual. Bad Irish dude. Killer. Me thinks a vampire, but would hate to call him that. His name is Tom Finn and basically if looks could kill someone might die laughing.
