Comic: This wheelin' ain't free

Comic! ..Done today.

Has "pimp" ever been on one of Groening's "Forbidden Words of.." lists? If not, it should be. Not only is it kind of a stupid word to use for anything other than an actual pimp, but by now it's also terribly antiquated. Rappers and whoever else may continue to use it to describe themselves should it apply, that is if they wish to repeat the same things many of them have been saying since 1992, but neither objects such as cars nor elderly folksmen are "pimp."

More Filler!

In an effort to put some wood on the little campfire that is my blog, here are more sketches, some more recent than others.

First, above we have a bit of concept art for a comic I made for an as yet unreleased CD by composer Michael Perilstein (The Deadly Spawn, Winterbeast). Buy his The Least Worst of Michael Perilstein, and you will not only enjoy some of his finest music (plug!), but you will also see the first comic I did for him a few years back. I suppose I own this image as it didn't end up in this comic, but my current profile picture is actually from yet another comic that I worked with him on, and therefore he technically holds copyright on it (!). I, however, retain ownership of myself and Michael Perilstein likewise holds all rights to Michael Perilstein. Above we find him in France.


Birds are always pretty good.

Attempts to draw my old roommate's dog.. Honestly, it doesn't really look like her.


Why not?

Comic: onyd!

Clicking this image will make it oh so much better (and somewhat bigger)-


..I used different paper this time and suffered for it. My pen line was quite bloody, though it doesn't look much different than usual when shrunk down a bit.

Filler

I picked a bad time to start this blog, given how I've been pretty busy in the month or so since its inception.. Barring the event of some sort of disaster or personal crisis, I am vowing to not let this blog go an entire week without a new post (and I'm certainly hoping to post more often than that). That being said, I haven't drawn much of anything in the last week. So here, instead of something fresh, is a bunch of old stuff from a sketchbook of mine from several years ago. Is there anything more exciting than looking at somebody's old sketches? Of course not. Something good came of this though, in that I found an old idea that I plan to turn into a new comic when I get a chance.

Also, I think it was actually a great habit to be in.. Just coming home at the end of the day and drawing without really thinking, which I too rarely do nowadays, especially with just a pen. I would scribble out anything that came to mind.

Abe Lincoln often comes to mind.


What?


Hmm.


I like this a little bit.


Moustaches can be a little creepy. Not always, but sometimes.


I don't know.


Yep.

Comic: Gull

No gag, just some sketchbook fun.. I haven't had a great deal of free time lately thanks to work, but today wasn't so bad; hence this comic's existence. Click to enlarge-
