Been a bit under the weather lately, and haven't been drawing as much, which is no good.
Dive bar doodles coming soon. Hope everyone's having fun at the con! Wish I was there!
A little self portrait...
...and a drawing of a really neat looking girl I saw in an old photograph. She had a loppy mouth and strange eyes.
An old friend told me never to draw like this, but I suppose I'm not listening. I'm super tired all the time lately. More energetic drawings coming eventually, I hope!
Lotsa work lately...not much time for doodling. So here's some little things.BUT FIRST! Happy Birthday Nico! I meant to get this up earlier, before midnight, but I failed. I hope your day was great!!And second- thanks for all the comic suggestions and interesting comments for my last post! I am definitely going to look into them. Also, thanks to those who pointed out that Lewis Trondheim has a larger part in the Dungeon comics than I initially gave him credit for. I am already on the hunt for his personal comics! Actually I'm pretty comic-crazy right now.
OK, some drawings!
A while ago Sean Worsham was nice enough to buy a drawing from me off of eBay, and as an extra thank you I sent a little doodle of a girl. I always kind of liked the extra drawing, so recently I inked it and colored it up with marker, then played with in photoshop. The wood stuff is inspired by my pal Miss Mindy, who does amazing art with wood and paint! I can't paint, and I don't know how to cut wood, so mine is just a scanned cheat in photoshop. Thanks Sean for saying I could post this!
I like my friends. Here are two of them, drawn at work:
SANDRA!
MARLO!Hi Sandra and Marlo!OH ALSO I got a new haircut. My old haircut looked very serious and boring, and I didn't like it. My bangs were too long and I couldn't see anything. I got them chopped and now I feel happier.
Ok that's it!
For some reason I have this problem- when I go home to see family in Tahoe, where it is beautiful, and I feel happy and contented, and am surrounded by beauty, I ALWAYS have weird dreams and nightmares while I am sleeping there.
So of course I had one this Christmas when I was visiting! This retarded and frightening dream took place in 1998 or so, hence the highschool version of me, which is smaller and cuter than the one that exists today. I know there are people out there who HATE dream stories (hi Luke), but I like hearing other people's as well as talking about my own, so here is one for you! You're getting veeeeeerrrrrrrrry sleepy...............
(check out that retarded arm on Kathryn- hooray for failing at drawing fundamentals!)

...and that's when I woke up. Drawing "scary" is really not something I'm very good at, so I cheated and added some photoshop spooky blobs and crap to the drawings of the little dead schoolgirls. I didn't draw it, but I want to add that as well as the first group of dead girls that came off the bus, there was also a group of about 5 short little dead chola girls who showed up. Maybe I'll draw them sometime.
Ok that's it! More people should draw their dream stories!
**UPDATE**For those who haven't been checking up on Dumm Comics, Skadi is now battling sexy one-boobied Amazons!
HEY GUYS!!***UPDATE***
I probably should have advertised this way earlier, but Dumm Comics is holding a contest! Anyone, artist or not, is invited to do their own versions of Big Pants Mouse, Through the Porthole, Skadi, 1930 Nightmare Theatre, and Earthward Ho! You can do them however you want! The ones that make us laugh the most will be featured on the site. Judging is on the 10th!Anyhow...I hope everyone got a break from life and enjoyed the holidays! I went to Lake Tahoe to be with my family for a whole week and had a load of much needed fun and relaxation.
Winter was really beautiful this year...check out this photo I took from the porch on Christmas morning!
I am quite at home in the snow (so long as someone else is willing to shovel it for me).
One of the best things about visiting my home this month was getting to spend so much time with my big brother Pete. He's always busy with work and music and concerts and stuff, so I don't get to see enough of him. If you like heavy metal music, you should check him out!
I think all the cartoonists in LA should revolt and force the studios to move to the lake.

One more thing...
Some people have written me nice notes lately wishing me a happy Christmas and stuff, but I haven't been able to write back because I didn't have internet during my vacation. I'm really sorry, please give me a bit to calm down- I went from non-stop work to non-stop relaxing and it's kind of a shock!I've got some posts planned for next year...here are some of the ideas:1. That design theory/Disney reject post, if I can get smart enough to write it right2. A lovely photo story about an axe murder, starring me and my brother3. A new extra stupid comic...here's a preview:
OK!!!! Hope you guys will come back next year, again sorry for the lack of posts and competent responses! Have fun tonight and kiss someone at midnight!
