Picture Journal: January 9, 2013 (Cold Sweat and a Dark Place)

But for all of you concerned I am otherwise fine

Picture Journal: January 2, 2013 (Makin' Food)

Whoa, first post of the new year. Kind of ashamed I didn't post at all during the fall. It's been a dark, stressful end of 2012 but that's no excuse. I'll try to get back on track.

Anyway. I've made other things too but these are the ones I liked best. I drew the majority of it in a coffee shop. Quite productive. Also this is the first time I digitally colored a Picture Journal. In the past I've used only analog media but I like the look of this as well.

Projects for the year: Child murderer comic, parody sports comic and hopefully I start my webcomic. Also self-publish a zine and maybe make a short anthology comic with some bros and bro-hoes who's dowwwwnnn

Picture Journal: September 21, 2012 (End of the Summer Daze)

Click for big.

Summer for me was actually a bit longer than just this summer (though I only included sequences from this year) and I think it's finally time to say g'bye. But what a great summer it was. The best in years I think. Good times, bad times, the whole thing. No regrets. Probably one I'm forgetting. Thanks to everyone involved--friends, family, coworkers, strangers, whatevs.

The colors don't have any sort of deep meaning, they were just inspired by this Post-It note comic I made:

I'm going to make some more comics.

Picture Journal: September 8, 2012 (Summer Shorts #1)

How easily sidetracked we are~ The first in a maybe two or more part series of shorts. This actually has  a few duality and oxymoronic jokes cuz that's how I roll

Picture Journal: September 6, 2012 (Salton Sea)

It was also pretty damn hot! Turns out after 102 degrees Fahrenheit all heat is the same. My only regret is that we probably missed out on some religious experience. Some of the text is a nod to the people who went on this desert trip with me.

This also happens to be my hundredth blog post! Though I think some shouldn't count.

Picture Journal: August 14, 2012 (SCCC '12 recap)

I'll admit this is a little sloppy. Not practicing comic-making has led to a decline in. Learn from my example!

Picture Journal: May 25, 2011 (A Dream of Cat)

Picture Journal: May 23, 2012 (Learning Wine)

This one is a little eclectic so sorry if it went over anybody's head. Been learning wine in my attempt to open up my palate (briefly alluded to here). It's pretty damn taxing! So much to learn. So expensive. But so tasty. Or maybe I did this just to slyly tell you all about how cut I'm gettin' *flex*.

Haven't been doing too many comics lately mainly because I've been a little burnt out since finishing my Creme Puff Afternoon short story. Also I've been reading/examining books like a madman to catch up with my back catalogue.

Picture Journal: April 24, 2012 (Flat Affect)

The comic I am referencing is Creme Puff Afternoon. Maybe I'm channeling some of the protagonist's ennui.

Picture Journal: March 10, 2012 (MOEBIUS)

I actually didn't even want to include myself in this but it is a journal after all. The flying character is Arzach, Moebius' most famous creation.

Picture Journal: March 8, 2012 (Pawn Shop Tales: A Persistent Man)

Sometimes at work you'll meet customers who just don't give up. Occasionally when customers rage they'll storm out and forget you need to touch the handle to open the door. This guy just kept embarrassing himself and I felt like I should have mercied him.

Picture Journal: February 26, 2012 (Fasting and Porn)

To lose some excess fat I'm trying out a new diet. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. I don't have to think about eating or preparing food as often. But I have found that I am spending a ridiculous amount of time thinking about food, even though I didn't before. foodgawker is part of the reason for that. I've also been trying to learn more about cooking. Gettin better!

Picture Journal: February 1, 2012 (Hourly Comic Day)

February 1 is Hourly Comic Day. Basically, the idea was to create a a comic every hour, on the hour. I think I did pretty okay.

Picture Journal: January 26, 2012 (Successfully Drinking)

I don't really drink, but since I've decided to start learning to cook and enjoy all the awesome foods in the world I thought it was important to expand my palate. Hopefully it doesn't come across as a "HEY GUYS I DRANK ALCOHOL," story.

Shamefully I haven't been doing this as often due to lack of time. I've been trying new things out and reading mostly. Plus there's been a lack of interesting story topics, which seems contradictory since I've been trying new things out. But I'll get back on updating more.

Also if anyone is in Downtown Santa Ana Friday, February 3rd for the art walk I'll be contributing a piece to the weavver gallery, so stop by! Otherwise I'll have it up shortly.

Picture Journal: December 7, 2011 (L.A. Jazz/My Birthday)

And just so I don't seem like a total loner, I did eat with friends and family at the following places in the following days: Lola Gaspar in Santa Ana, Mitasie 3 in Huntington Beach, and Full Moon Sushi in Costa Mesa. All were tres bien.

New York Journal: Day 5/5.5 (Noir York City/New York I Love You, but You're Bringing Me Down)

Subway performers, Occupy parade, Egyptian relics, DANCE PARTY

New York Journal: Day 4 (Gotham)

Uniqlo, Jeff Goldblum-looking guy, a library

New York Journal: Day 3 (Turn on the Bright Lights)

Young people, naked people, s'all good.

New York Journal: Day 2 (These Vagabond Shoes)

I settled down in the Financial District and explored Brooklyn a bit!

New York Journal: Day 0/1 (New York Minute)

 Oh please do not read all of this there is too much junk. But I'd like it if you did!
