I said two pages today, but I didn't mean it. It's a more satisfying reading experience to see just this today, I decided. I don't get a lunch break today, so I'm not sure how much I'll have up tomorrow, but it'll be at least a page. At this point the 30 in 30 is pretty much shot, but I came real close and I'm happy with my work, so whatever, suckas. Last night when Paisley was drawing her...

Hey look, just because I thought I would, there is a little four panel comic I drew last night. But unexpectedly it turned into a little thing, and so that is what I am going to attempt to draw every day for all of April. Here are some friends of mine who are also drawing things every day in April. heypais preachertom olentzero

Some nonsense: I was working on a comic where I pitched new sitcom ideas to Jim Belushi, but I spend too damn much time trying to figure out how faces work because I basically do not know how art works. I can hardly believe it, but it's real. Non-troversy t-shirt now on sale (for those of you who didn't see me comment spamming the last entry). Also, the Hey Pais March Madness ...

I'm working on a big drawing for this Saturday's Live Coverage at the UICA in Grand Rapids, and I need to draw a LOT of people. When I need to draw one or two people, I can make them up. But it gets pretty tough after a while to come up with enough people who look different to constitute a crowd. Enter reference sources.   Yearbooks are a perennial favorite, but a few months ago, my mother...

Hey, it's been a while since I've posted here, eh? Jess and I have been working our way through the Oscar nominated movies. Benjamin Button, which we watched last night, is absolutely the winner. THE WINNER FOR WORST MOVIE TO EVER HAPPEN EVER! OK, maybe not, but it was so goddamn terrible. And it has a reasonable premise, and a decent cast and a even a good director, but what a boring, pointless...

Another Journal Comic from Far Away: Some Fan Art: Hey Pais is a journal comic drawn by a cat. This week she's doing a week of comics riffing on the Best Picture nominees. I've been consistently impressed by how this project has made her work improve as she experiments with longer strips and bigger panel layouts. So impressed that I drew this instead of working on my Bones fan-fiction...

This handsome, hand-bound edition collects all of the High Maintenance Machine strips featuring the cats, Montana and Elmer. ( High Maintenance Machine was my daily cartoon diary, which ran for over two years.) The introduction is by Paisley the cat ( heypais ), the feline cartoonist behind Hey Pais! . There are a total of 80 pages printed on Mohawk superfine 80lb paper, hard...

Still recouperating from my most recent bout of asthmatic bronchitis. Luckily, there was an Hourly Comic Day. For reference: My Hourly Comic Day 2006 My Hourly Comic Day 2007 and then I was going to post a link to My Hourly Comic Day 2008, but it looks and sounds like maybe I never even scanned them? I re-read Sara's for that year and heard her explain to me about...

Man, I can't believe it is already almost a week into 2009. I've been really busy with a lot of fun drawing projects, and of course, taking care of sick Elmer . Elmer came home the Saturday before Christmas and began making a quick recovery from his kidney problems, but last Friday, he started to lose his appetite, and it wasn't long before we were back at the vets. It seemed that the lack of appetite...

I am an inveterate hoarder, so part of the point of this NaBloPoMo exercise is to force me to trawl through my archive of 'things I might blog about one day' and actually do something with them (and then move them to my 'things I have blogged about' archive. How I wish I was joking...) While so doing, I found this IM conversation I had with tinyjo literally years ago: OxfordSlacker...
