HEre are some cartoon characters I've been messing with. Duck and Penguin. Guess which one's which.
this is the 1st comic of D&P. It looks weird 'cause I had to scan it from Boom Comix#2, which they printed on crappy paper that ink from the other side bled through (a problem for a graphics periodical)
This is the second D&P comic I did. Same problem.
Yo yo yo, this was finished a little bit ago, it's expecting publication in the too-long-awaited Boom #3.
Just got done with this one. What I like about these characters is that they seem to write themselves -- I stand out of the way, and let them conversate. Usually its pretty banal, but I love how the punchlines are oblique, if that -- this last one really goes out of its way to miss the punchline, but the real humor comes from the characters and their relationship, i guess. To me anyway. These guys crack me up, and that's a decent spot to be in, when you crack yerself up.
Also, now that I've swamped yer computers with that crap, here's a bunch of old photos I just got developed...
this is a shot from Prague that turned out way cooler than I could have planned, back in Summer of '02. When I was still a college lad.
I love this. The woman in the distance really makes the shot.
another cool shot. black and white makes everything look timeless.

A year later, from my drive across the country.
The painted desert, where I received a vision (its hard not to, out there)
The eastern sky - the sinking sun's rays reflected off a bank of storm clouds scores of miles away -- the dual, blake-ian vision that caused me to stop my car and eventually commune with the sky

Much later -- about a year ago. The farewell to the Tercel at the Hollywood Impound Lot.
"...You could tell by looking at my face that I was desperate and haunted."
So there's that. Damn. That was prob'ly more trouble than it was worth.
