I fail so much! Last week, Rina and I had a drawing night and we did two jam comics. She remembered to post them; I didn’t! I blame the fact that by Friday evening, I had done something horrible to my neck and was in abject pain all weekend. Fail!

Anyway, here they are. The first one is a normal jam. The other one is a tic-tac-toe jam. Tom ( Read more... )

Rina and I haven’t had a Draw Nite in a few weeks, and we finally had one again last night!

Apart from having really good Chinese takeout and Sazeracs, and chatting a lot about drawing and writing, we drew this:

I can finally tell you all about an awesome project I’ve been working on at work the past several weeks.

Comics Go Pink!

Next Sunday, 56 of the King Features comics will be printed in pink (or mostly pink, or use pink as a significant color in the strip) in EVERY NEWSPAPER that they appear in. We are also raising money for breast cancer research, ( Read more... )

This weekend, I spent some time sorting and packing up books that have been living at my parents’, so they can take the trek from Connecticut to my apartment that actually has space for books in Queens.

While doing this, I found a diary from 1984. Let’s just get this straight. In 1984, I was 6 years old.

Rina posted a link to this article on Friday, and I have been thinking about it and about my own art experiences as they apply.

The article doesn’t really say anything new- in fact, it sounds an awful lot like the intro-to-drawing class that I took my sophomore year of college. But it made me think about it again.

Last night, Rina came over to play! And by play, I mean draw.

When I was a little kid, my favorite game would be to sit with my friends and both draw the same thing at the same time.

None of my friends liked this game. They would usually get bored after the first one. I have a sketchbook from when I was a kid, where I used to have “theme pages ( Read more... )

Guys, I am so completely stoked to announce that the site I built for work launches today.

This site is for Oh, Brother!, a new comic by Bob Weber, Jr. and Jay Stephens about a sibling duo.  Lily is the responsible older sister; Bud is the mischievous younger brother.  There’s also Bud’s best-friend-down-the-block, Bradford, and Bud and Lily’s dog ( Read more... )

So, I don’t normally do this, but I want to start getting into the habit of posting more about the comics I read and enjoy. I have a lot of comic-savvy friends reading, and you might already know about the comics I’m going to talk about here, but I also have a lot of friends who want to learn more about comics, and I thought it would be good to do ( Read more... )

Hey, all!

If you’re in the NYC area, next Saturday, I am going to have a table at Pete’s Mini Zine Fest, an event organized in part by the awesome Marguerite Dabaie and Andria Alefhi, whom I don’t know, but who I am sure is equally awesome.
