Mid-session mega-post:

Ok, this is but a smidgen of all the drawings I've done so far, but, hey, it's better than nothing...


















That's it for now.

I'm serious about safety.

O.k. The first opportunity I get to post something and this is what I post?! Well, here you go. This is me. In Maine. In a car. In a helmet. Shorty after wearing the helmet, I consumed ice cream.

Suncreen, Art supplies, and Bug Juice

Ok. So I'm still alive up here, but I also still have no access to cameras or scanners. I promise I will post something more meaty soon!!! I've been teaching art around the clock, catching some rays (inadvertently), and feeding the mosquito population of Maine. (and squeezing some drawing in on the side...) I hope all is well in the land of the Bolgosphere! Time for camp food!

-m

Update:

I am leaving bright and early tomorrow for my summer job...Back in Maine, baby! As a result, I will be lacking:

a.) a scanner

b.) a camera to do the job of said scanner

b.) a computer (for at least a week)

c.) spare time

Expect the posts to change a bit in content...perhaps some extreme nature pics. Yeah, pine trees! Yeah, froggies! Yeah, birdies!

On a side note, I'm coming back down to civilization next weekend (June 23rd and 24th) to attend MoCCA in New York. That's right folks, I've got a table and I will be selling handmade stuffed animals and comics. So if you're in the NY area and feel like nerding out, come on by.

Back to the bolg...So, again, the intermittentness with the posts. Hopefully I'll figure out a system that works this summer (fingers crossed). Next time you hear from me, I'll be riding a moose.

Guess what?

This just came out. From Adhouse Books. It has 12 pages of super-hero-y goodness by me, along with stories from Farel Dalrymple and Joey Weiser. Ask for it at your local comicbook shop (if you want it, if you don't, then don't ask for it, because that will probably confuse the person who works there).

There's a perfectly good explanation for this.

Wait for it...


I was attacked by noodles. That's why I haven't posted in a while.

Theme number 78.

Theme number 77.

Revenge of the Negatrons.

So when I last posted, I didn't expect the negatrons to become more abundant. But they have. Well, now I think they've let up a bit. Eh. I have themes, but they're on the computer that can't get on-line (one of the many current negatrons); hopefully that will be fixed by tomorrow. Everybody, support your local chapter of negatron-eradication which can facilitated by sites like CuteOverload and the like. Thank you.

Negatrons:

This is what negatrons look like. Normally they're invisible to the naked eye, but I took the time to illustrate them for your viewing pleasure. Negratrons are all those nasty thoughts that get you down...I'm pretty sure other people have them as well (though they may look different from mine). I'm hoping this is the end of sporadic posts, and that I can get rid of all these negatrons, because they kind of smell like burning poop.

Let the daily posting begin (again)!

-m

AHHHH!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I promise I'll post something that's not a "from the vault"! More themes soon!

YAHHHHH!!!!!


-m

Maybe just one more...

I won't be able to post until Thursday due to some family stuff. However, I will post a drawing done from a photo of a family reunion back in 1985. I was four. Try and spot me.


-m (again)

Not another one...

O.K. So this is actually the very first illustration that I colored digitally (I think). I did it the fall of 2003, prompty after working in Maine at a summer camp. I find it appropriate given my latest move. Things are coming along...lots of cleaning, lots of unpacking, lots of organizing. A quater of our stuff is still in Maine. It'll be gotten sooner or later. I just can't wait until it feels like home. Eh. I'm kind of (kind of?!) rambling here. Sorries.

!robot.

As promised, another illustration from the MIT series. Moving has officially happened (though it's far from done). I'm wicked tired. Wicked. G'night, er, I mean morning.

Halp! Mah dog iz eatin mah brainz!

Can you tell I've been visiting I Can Has Cheezburger a little too much? Well, I have. Something to take the edge off...Another day of Maine-to-Massachusetts moving starts in approximately 8 hours, so I may not get around to posting for a day or two. I offer you this random photo as my pre-apology:

Theme number 75.

Theme number 74.

mmmmm...

Speaking of peepers...

So that title doesn't have much to do with this comic, except that they are somewhat about frogs. For the those of you who have no idea what a "peeper" is, it's a little tiny frog that makes a very loud "PEEP" over and over again (or you can Wiki-it-up; scroll down and you can even play an audio file for FULL-PEEPING-EFFECT!). Peepers sing their mighty chorus around dusk and often into the night. As far as I know, they are a New England occurance; I grew up with them in my backyard in Massachusetts, and now they're out in full effect up here in Maine.
*ahem*
The following comics have appeared (in full form) in a publication called Backward City Review (you can see the full comic here) . It's a collection of short stories, essays, comics, poems and art that comes out twice a year. Enjoy.

Theme number 73.

It's O.K. I can't do it either.
