Still drawing, just not posting

Hello all. Or those who still visit this ghost town. I thought I would let you know that I have been drawing and creating, I just haven't been posting anything. I recently started a comics group here in St.Louis, and we are working on a comic together. Here are two pages from my portion:


Matt Bryan is also involved in the comics group.

The Traveling Sketchbook

I think I've been dealing with my experimental comic The Traveling Sketchbook for 4 or 5 years. I'll often mail it out, forget that it's in another city, then remember, track it down and have it mailed again. In fact I think it's been a year since I've even seen it live. There's also a list of artist wanting to draw in the book, if they haven't forgotten about it by now.
I also tend to neglect the blog I've set up for the pages already created inside. But, not today. Today my daughter, Lily, went to bed early and I'm updating The Traveling Sketchbook!

The Ballpoint Fiends Episode 2

The Ballpoint Fiends are at it again.

Many years ago Coconut Monkey (aka Mike Joyner) approached me about animating my comic Caveman/Spaceman. Without hesitation I gave my approval. Mike did a really awesome test animation and we discussed some things he was going to do, including add the voices, but then he got busy with film school, Hollywood, and working on his movie Dorm of the Dead. The final animation may never have been completed, but I still think the first test animation is pretty awesome. I've been sitting on it for a long time and thought it was time to share it with everyone.

The original comic:

Jim Lujan, Randy Gentile, Justin Stewart, and myself are The Ballpoint Fiends. We just can't get enough of comic creators who inspire and awe us. In service to creating more fiends in the world we've created a podcast dedicated to informing the masses of the artists we love. You can listen here.

Bob Clarke...

Bob Clarke is losing his hair because he's an asshole.

Exercise in Art

A few years ago Dan Nichols and myself were drawing together. As usual I had nothing specific to draw, and instead had him name off his favorite albums, and I interpreted them in my own way. The little panels were done on a grocery bag with India Ink Pens.






I'm posing old art for two reasons. 1) to get back in the habit of updating the blog more regularly and 2) some of this stuff has never been posted and I thought it may be interesting for people to see. Hopefully new stuff will come soon.
