A Dash Of This And A Sprinkle Of That
I started reading a new essay about Postmodernism for my graduate class tonight around 11PM. I realized I was getting a bit fatigued, finishing the chapter I was on, and then turned on my computer with the sole intention of deleting spam from my email and posting the following “Waiting Room” pictures drawn on a […]
I Like It Raw
Cartooning has always interested me for multiple reasons. I think the primary intrigues lies in a person’s ability to create a world that I am incapable of visiting but will always want to. I would love to sit down and have lunch with Charlie Brown while Schroeder entertains us with his piano playing or travel […]
The Joys Of Childrens’ Toys
When artists reflect back on their first artistic creations they seem to say the same things: “When I was a child my favorite pastime was making insert art form here. I did it all of the time and all of my friends and relatives thought I might be a little obsessed.” Not all artists share […]
Sitting In The Waiting Room
A few months ago I completed my longest animation project yet (clocking in at just under five minutes).

Ever since that artistic creation came into being, […]

I Ain’t No Winsor McCay
I still have trouble grasping the concepts of basic anatomy, expressive anatomy, facial expressions, horizon lines, proper contrast, erasing, perspective, shading, patience, tool selection, steady hands, scaling, vanishing points, objects in space, shot composition, and a slew of other things. BUT, I now have my studio set up so I can crank out images like […]
“Where Were You When The Page Was Blanket?”
I’ve always had issues with addiction. Not in the traditional sense (I’m still straight edge at 24 and that isn’t changing anytime soon) but more so in regard to a need for knowledge. It’s typically not an intellectual craving that holds any true value to society. I will never do the type of research that […]

For whatever reason this One marks the year when I truly Understand how to balance my hopes and relationships Responsibly Happy Birthday To Me! Expect more absurd creations as my […]
