Journal comics-


I'm gonna try and get better about keeping journal strips every day
and I think I like this cover for my thing better


-Kochalka is cool but I think he hates me because I made a thread about my journal comics on his message board http://vimeo.com/7656632 His voice sounds like my dad's voice and I don't know how to feel about that

-If I could be someone else, I'd probably be Eugene Hutz of Gogol Bordello

Making an honest effort at painting in photoshop. Thoughts so far?

Ok so this might seem like a lot but seeing as how the community seems to be fairly alive, it shouldn't be so bad. Alright so I stopped reading Nana back way in Vol. 20 Chapter 81. Question: What's the most recent chapter that's been out? I'd like to catch up on the reading; Nana's always held a special place in my manga/anime repertoire =) Another question, did they stop making the anime or what? I stopped wacthing after episode 47...So anyone that could help...It would be awesome! ^_^

Cassi nearly dies from pneumonia.

Tigger does die from... something.

Mickey's last game.

Menacof's last game.

Uga VII dies from a heart attack.


IS THIS WEEK OVER YET. OH DEAR GOD JUST LET IT END.

It's either about to just get (hysterically) hilarious, or I'm gonna need another Valium.

please god let the good guys win tomorrow.

Kenneth is going to lose his goatee the next time he appears. Not like i have anything against facial hair on a comic character, it's just that a clean face gives him more of a bratty spoiled kid look wich i was aiming for.
Also i'm all ready to start chapter 4! Scripting and thumbnailing went smoothly, thank god for blob heads.

Otherwise i am finally hooked into a videogame again! It's been years since i've played a game where i absolutely love the world, the story, the characters, everything. I get so bored with games lately i just play about an hour and feel like it was draggy as hell, but with this one i just can't stop playing!

I really recommend Dragon Age Origins! Husband is a pc-rpg gamer and i'm a jrpg console gamer so i only tried it out per his advice. I had played and enjoyed Bioware's Mass Effect earlier so i decided to give it a try.

I'm not quite sure how to describe this game except it feels like i'm reading a really good book i just can't get enough of. You can also shape the course of the story with your decisions, so your character doesn't feel like a silent pawn that is just there because you need to be in control of a character. You also can have romances with your companions or they might actually desert you if they hate you enough!
The battle system might be a bit hard if you haven't played any of the other bioware games or generic mmorpgs, but it doesn't take too long to get used to. And god, the music is superb!

And healtwhise i seem to have broken my premolar in two. It was a tooth that had a root canal years ago so it doesn't hurt much, but still. It broke all the way to the gumline so i bet i'm going to need to have it removed T3T. I don't mind pain much but i'm a sucker when i have to do something i have never done before. I get super anxioussss.
Goddamn body parts, please stay intact!

I'm on a train to leeds, the sky is grey, the land is pretty grey, it's all a bit miz out. trying to write a story about baking a cake. don't know much about cakes. now is the time to learn.

I'm not back in london til monday, i miss it already. it's MY horrible city!

I'm away from home on account of this: http://thoughtbubblefestival.com/ and seeing friends.

Probably do some spire work in a minute.

also, I made you this thing:

DELETED SCENE FROM RED ALL OVER.





That's not actually what he says, of course, in the comic.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ITS NOT TRUE.

As requested, here's my article on Caffeine in tea:

Caffeine in Tea

I'm always reading things like "black tea has more caffeine than green tea"..."white tea has the least caffeine of any tea"...especially on websites selling green or white tea. These statements are not true, not even in some rough sense of averages! My article cites a study which found that while caffeine content varies greatly from one tea to the next, they found "no observable trend in caffeine concentration due to the variety of tea". (here they're talking about "varieties" like black tea or green tea).

I'd be curious for feedback and thoughts, and also encourage people to get the word out by writing posts or articles about this too if they have tea-related websites or blogs, because there's a lot of misinformation out there! Also...if you see a website making a bold and incorrect claim, bug them about it and have them take it down, and if they argue, cite the studies I cite or find others in google scholar!

The e-mail I got just now.





....Jerks.

Well, it's the 16th, which means- besides my mom's birthday- that the Mighty Boosh live show was tonight. In London. I didn't think I could sell tickets that had my name on them and with little time to do anything else, they sit here still, next to my computer, staring at me. MOCKING ME. The only thing I've ever won in my life, and it's in another COUNTRY.
Not much else going on. I got inspired to draw today, but was simultaneously having a Bad Art Day, and I hate when that happens- I have all these ideas, and they all magically turn to shit when pen hits paper.
I need to animate some more. Matt asked for an animation for Christmas, which is not only free, but good practice. It took me all of five minutes to decide what to do- now I just need the finish it within a month, since mid December I'm going to Arizona for Christmas.
Also I thought of a new idea for a short comic, based on a song. I got inspired the second time I heard the song, and have all weekend been mentally planning it out. It's going to heavily feature sex and violence. And for me, it should make a nice contrast to all the humour in my portfolio. I just hope I don't get too freaked out and quit while drawing it, like I do when I try to write a smutty fanfiction.
So many stories that stop right at the good part...

and here's a couple panels from that comic zine thing I'm doin-

Finally saw Paper Heart and it was pretty cool. Check it out if you have a chance.
Also, just read all of Eightball. Read anything by Daniel Clowes if you have a chance. I especially liked 'David Boring'
heres some interview with Clowes- http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3jpyz_daniel-clowes-part-bbc-documentary_shortfilms

cool little neil gaiman thing
'in the end'

In the end, the Lord gave Mankind the world. All the world was
Man’s, save for one garden. This is my garden , said the Lord, and
here you shall not enter.

There was a man and a woman who came to the garden, and
their names were Earth and Breath.

They had with them a small fruit which the Man carried, and
when they arrived at the gate to the garden, the Man gave the fruit
to the Woman, and the Woman gave the fruit to the Serpent with
the flaming sword who guarded the Eastern Gate.

And the Serpent took the fruit and placed it upon a tree in the
center of the garden.

Then Earth and Breath knew their clothedness, and removed
their garments, one by one, until they were naked; and when the
Lord walked through the garden he saw the man and the woman,
who no longer knew good from evil, but were satisfied, and He saw
it was good.

Then the Lord opened the gates and gave Mankind the garden,
and the Serpent raised up, and it walked away proudly on four strong
legs; and where it went none but the Lord can say.

And after that there was nothing but silence in the Garden, save
for the occasional sound of the man taking away its name from
another animal.

TAKE THAT MOUSIE

Hey guys, the painted prototype for the "crazy coyote" resin figure(re: "toyote") is complete! Pictures can be found here, but I've asked PatchTogether to take a better photo of it from a different angle because the ones they chose are kinda unflattering.

The figure is still available for order and will be shipped out in January.
