this weeks comic in the chronicle.

Brain Frame

This coming Friday I will be perfomring at Brain Frame 9!

If you picked up Paul Nudd's corpus corpus IV: Pox at CAKE this past summer then you would have found a little mini entitled Professor Walton. It details the story of a professor who is reincarnated as a pimply patch on a dudes stomach. 

The little mini was fun to make and I have made two more stories that I will perform/read along with the first at Brain Frame. I also will have them printed and bundled in a little package with a sticker that will be for sale at Brain Frame.

more comics about myself.

This week and last weeks comics in the Chronicle!

I also want to give a quick shout out to Yeti Press. They updated their website and are good people who I have had the pleasure of working with. This past summer I worked with RJ Casey to create Beginners Luck a short story that takes a lucky anthropomorphic fish into a seedy underworld.  Quite the trip if you ask me.

Nonetheless I have been busy writing and drawing, so I will keep on updating as I progress.

This weeks strip in the Chronicle. Trying out autobiographical stuff lately.

Strips. books and a dog drawing

I have been making strips for the Columbia Chronicle's Free Ice Cream comic section. The strip above is currently printed in this weeks paper.

So if you find yourself in the South Loop or around a Columbia building get the Chronicle it has my strip in it as well as other fantastic strips.

Doing these strips has been a lot of fun but also challenging.
I want to upload a photo of the books that have been inspiring me at the moment for this project.

I recently got the Nancy book and it is a fantastic read that I have been picking up and laughing while taking short breaks from the drawing table. I am also reading the complete collected work of Kevin Budniks OEILR. I got this fat little book from Kevin and have found the way he splits scenes, conversations and observations into four panels to be truly inspiring and a great motivator for making my strips.

 Other than that my day to day job is taking the majority of my day, although I have been drawing every day and am penciling the content for Dirty Hands Vol. 3! Lets just say that this next issue will have more interior drawings.

I also made this dog drawing, used an old stuffed dog toy ad from the 1800's as inspiration.

That is all.

murals and panels

   Woah where has the time gone everyone?
Any how I just wanted to post two things. The first is that photo above is a mural that I have completed at Columbia College Chicago for new student orientation. The mural was located in the glass curtain gallery and included several other illustrators, each depicting a event that takes place through out the school year. The murals unforutnaly are now gone, but I do have this photo of it. I plan to upload more photos to my flickr page with in the next day or so.


The other news is that I have a few strips in the Columbia Chronicle the schools newspaper. Here are a few sample panels.

I must admit that doing these four panel strips was quite the challenge but a welcomed change in how I do comics. I hope to submit more as I get familiar with them.
