It's been a while since the last time I posted, so if you've forgotten where the story was at, i collected them all here for our reference, and my mental health :)
RIGHT NOW i'm working with Allan Graffam to do a series of illustrations to accompany his high school bands performance of The Procession of Scorcerers (the link leads you to a pretty crummy performance, but also the only one i could find)
Here are a few of those:

Before i started the project i did a little test comic to see how well i could ink opaquely over watercolor and regain a feel for the medium. It's pretty much my girlfriend Bonnie and I doing what we like to do best: Dick around with magic... It's pretty goofy.

Lastly, The other day my friend Illana and I were hanging out, talking about teen pregnancy pacts (like we often do) and we thought that teen pregnancy would make a pretty sweet theme for a costume party. Here's a poster I made for the future shindig:

A date has yet to be set, but I can promise it will be quite the hootenanny.

On a not may art related note: SCAD friends! do you guys know Sam Wolfe Connelly? I just saw his shit online and its off the fucking chain!
 Go make friends with this kid.

My Personal life relieved!

So i totally swear that in the original file for this page the bagel-mancer is a sort of light brown. Flickr decided to make him a sort of gobliney green. Try to use your imagination here.

Also, During New Years I had the pleasure if hanging out with a fiercely talented documentary photographer by the name of Ilana Linsman who took some sweet pictures of me in my tiny office of a room where i live/work that i have unofficially been referring to as the "Danger Room" (Danger Park represent!)  A few of you were sort of curious as to where i was living now  and how I was getting on in Northampton Mass, and hopefully this glimpse of the cartoonist in his natural habitat might answer those questions:(also a few of me during new years)

more of these

Originally my plan with these was to put them up one at a time, so i could have more blog fodder, but there are only like two panels on a page, and I'm barely telling a story this way. So I'm going to suck it up and post these as they were intended, 2 at a time. Rejoice!

Back in the saddle for 2010!

Hello to anyone who still follows this blog. I sort of went of the grid there for a few months due to there being no internet where I live but im resolving to start posting regularly for the new year. So here i go:

I know that this is crazy old news. but back in like in October a jam drawing i did was accidentally published here:


CLICK TO BUY ELECTRIC ANT #2!

I met these guys back at SPX and I have to say they are some of the most quality folks I have ever met. On top pf that this zine is balls to the wall packed with amazing artists including Dash Shaw, Harvey James, Kaz, Hellen Jo, Derek M Ballard, Michael Deforge, Mickey Zacchilli, and tons more. SERIOUSLY! I have no idea how i managed to be roped in with such an extraordinary group of people. It must have been a mistake.

So of coarse ive been drawing since last i wrote. you can see some of my drawings here

Lastly: I did this story a while back, but i colored it and cut it up in to little chunks tonight. ill post um one by one every few days or so. Here's the first:
