ah yes, that's probably a good way to read it, too!

Oh, you.

I was serious about getting back into the tennis routine!

Sometimes I forget how ugly the internet looks without ad blocking. I'm looking forward to reading these, Andrew.

Thanks, Matt. I had no idea you'd started your strips again, unless I'd missed something on the benbo. I need to get caught up. After a cursory look, that second panel in the cat eating floor corn is masterfully pulled executed.

and yes, that is one thing I miss from mozilla. but I cannot surrender my chrome.

Yeah, I still post most things in the Rosen thread, but I understand how things can get overlooked in there. And thanks man. I spent forever on that panel, couldn't get it to look right, and subsequently put off inking it for four months.

Ah, I see, I haven't seen that thread in a while, maybe I can contribute to it now. And four months hiatus on one panel is impressive, haha

so excited!

Thanks, Melissa! Your etsy pieces are looking so good!

These look very nice. I'll be queuing up the RSS as well.
Thanks for dropping the link here.

Thanks, my friend. I'm glad to hear that.

And I've always been a fan of your work, but your recent work (which I ashamedly am only seeing now) is OUTSTANDING. I LOVE how you're using color (in colored pencils?). Jeez, very intimidating to say the least.

tymmi November 17 2009, 22:06:07 UTC

Thank you.
Yeah, these latest strips are mostly watercolor pencils and charcoal.
Not intimidating, surely.

S'funny, I was remarking how effectively you're using color in these diary comics of yours. I love how you're using mostly areas of flat color to define the major shapes, and how the line work plays off of that to add just enough detail. By comparison I'm just throwing stuff at the paper to see what sticks.

Thank you, man. My coloring is very primitive right now, but I'm having fun using implied shape and few lines. Even if your method is supposedly random, you're producing amazing results. That coloring and drafting approach is so exciting to me. That off model registration look is one of my favorite aspects of screen printing, and it's so amazingly applied in what you're doing.

October 30th, November 16th, October 7th, October 2nd, and July 15th: those are amazing. I WANT that October 30th as a print.
