I did a guest comic a while back for Left-Handed Toons (by right handed people). It was a short one called "Meaning of Life" that I wrote about 2 years ago and never really used. So I used it for that. Here is the LEFT HANDED strip.



That took way too long to make with my left hand!! JEsus did it ever! Before I used it for a guest comic, tho, I originally wanted to re-draw it for another project that fell through. I had penciled it out normally, but never inked it. After I did the guest strip, I decided to go back to those pencils and finish it up, so I could see it as I normally imagined it. So here it is again, as done with my RIGHT HAND.



Woa! Mama I will never be ambidextrous!! More comics tomorrow!!

2009 was a pretty awesome year. I say that about every year, don't I? That's a good thing I guess. I don't make resolutions every year. I figure a good idea is good to enough to begin work on, the moment you think of it.


Work goes ahead on the current Flounce and Persia story. I'm still going back and forth on working titles, so I'm not going to publicly give it a name right now. The main thrust of the comic concerns what happens when Flounce's past bisexual ways emerge within his quaint, relaxed, matured life with Persia (not to imply that bisexuality is immature). But Flounce has sort of made that transition from the "hyper do-everything kid out of college" phase to the "relax, sip coffee in lounge pants, plan investments online" phase of manhood. Some men never reach this phase, I realize, but it's a good phase to be in when acquaintances from your earlier phases bust into your life, for the purposes of our pornography. I've settled on a pretty good, and more importantly, faster, black and white style for projects like this one. I will continue to do full color comics, but only for the heavier projects that I feel need it. And when I have lots of time. Oh, the other dude in the headlock there isn't their son.

It looks like Bonk is thinking about hitting Furry Fiesta as a good, small to medium sized, February convention to hit for some extra bread before FWA. So it looks like my list of conventions for 2010 could expand. If all goes according to plans and musings, I'll be free-floating in my usual style around FC, FF, FWA, AC, MFM, and MFM, with the tenuous possibility of being at one of the Elliot's things in Orlando, mayyyyybe FAU, but it's not looking good, and perhaps RCFM in Huntsville, AL. That's a hell of a full plate for someone who doesn't do any business at cons. But I usually have a good time.

I drew this comic on scott kurtzes's cintiq. it was my first time really sitting down and using one, so it was kind of neat!



You can actually watch me draw it on this recorded ustream where scott, kris, and others talk about kickstarter. I mostly laugh a lot and draw the comic. I act like Glenn from the Tom Green Show, basically.

After the comic was done, I just sketched a bunch so here is all those damn sketches (scott came in and sketched too, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND HIS!)

( big sketches underneath the cut!! )

Here's a comic Thomas asked me to make for his GF.

I meant to also post this yesterday, because it is a part of something AMAZING Dave Eggers and his colleagues started.
Have you heard of the time Travel Mart?



Or the Super hero supply company?


Well I did not know this until I watched Dave Eggers' TED talk, but not only are they fucking AWESOME art installations, they are also SCHOOLS and writing workshops where kids can get tutored for FREE.

Dave Eggers' Once Upon a School:



This shit brings me to tears it is so inspiring and amazing.

In response to the question:
"are you concerned that you're not publishing as many unknowns as you had been? And killed pieces? Are you taking any steps-are there any steps to be taken-to keep shit real?"

Dave Eggers responded with the most wonderful, amazing, gorgeous answer that speaks directly to my fucking SOUL.
You will love this.

Everyone, be the best you can be and always say YES instead of NO!

shufflin thru TNG one episode at a time. I havent really even gotten to experience beard man riker. its all a lie *pushes everything off the table*

Totally awesome documentary I watched the other day called the Botany of Desire. It's about the amazing ways we have forced plants to evolve into the varied and vastly different things they are today compared to 500 years ago.




It's also about the amazing control plants have over us. One thing I was specifically amazed by was TULIP MANIA a period in dutch history when people went completely insane for tulips so much so as to pay "...10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman..." for one fucking tulip bulb. A flower! A thing that does not feed you or clothe you, just sits there and looks pretty.
