So the big news in comics last month is that Wizard Magazine is ending publication.  I've read plenty of places where people are pretty much going "Ding Dong the witch is dead".  I'm not going to disagree with those sentiments.  The management apparently didn't tell anyone that they were ending the print publication to move to web operations.  I  ( Read more... )

Hello world, I'm not dead.  I've been sort of hiding for awhile a little because I've been in a funk but mostly because I've been busy at my job.  I've sort of fallen out of reading comics.  Not because I hate them (though there was a period I wanted nothing to do with them), but right now my interests and focuses lie elsewhere.  I'm sure I'll come ( Read more... )

Hey folks,
I've been thinking about this and I'm going to open up for commissions.  I need some money so I can pay bills and repair my computer.  Here's what I'm willing to do

• Robots
• Fight scenes
• Superheroes

So am I am sure some of you have heard, I'll be teaching a continuing education class at Central Piedmont Community College starting this fall involving comics.  I'll be teaching the first two classes going towards a Visual Narrative certificate.

Harvey Pekar passed away last night.  I'm not the biggest fan of his in the world but I would be out of place if I said the work he did had no impact on comics.  Pekar, along with Robert Crumb, invented an approach to autobiographgical comics still being used to this day, for better or worse.  Again while not a huge fan, I always liked the short ( Read more... )

Folks just want to let people know that I probably won't be online as much for the next few weeks.  The power cord for my laptop is more or less useless.  For the last few weeks, my cord will power my computer but it won't charge the battery.   I know it's not the battery as I used the power cord from my brother and uncle's laptops and it charged ( Read more... )

Hey folks, it has been a while.  Actually it's been since I've talked about anything since I graduated.  Things have had their ups and down here.   I honestly can't complain other than I've been broke for the last few weeks.  Even then, I just got hired at a job in a mail room so that is easily fixed though I need a second job because that one is ( Read more... )

Hey folks, I have updated in forever but I thought I would participate in this meme that yawmin  posted because I like inflicting my taste in music on everyone.  So here we go!

Hey there!  As I stated in my last post, I have just graduated from college.  I'm back at my folks place for the moment as I look for jobs involving a) illustration, b) publishing, c) printing, or d) all of the above.  It's weird coming back to Charlote and both recognizing it and seeing everything that's changed in the last few years.  It's really ( Read more... )
