week 46: polar

sorry its been so late, ive been going through alot lately, the big move, the return to my childhood home, the race to get out of the apartment before the end of the month.

i found myself, the other day, sitting on a fence down the street from my moms house.

i was smoking and looking at the sky, watching the cars return to their homes.

and i was thinking that i knew that one day i would come back, to the suburbs, i just didnt expect it to be like this.

i felt like i was nineteen again and not in a good way.

topic 50: woman

i had a few ideas for this one, i guess i ended up doing a comic based on the "brainstorming" phase i went through. this conversation is based on an actual one i had with a friend the other day. i thought it was kinda funny so here it is.

topic 49: dinner

cooking for one is no fun.

okay so it rhymes, still, its true. back then i would, from time to time cook dinner for her, and later for them. with all the food groups and the like, a proper meal, a good dinner.

but when you are by yourself, cooking seems pointless, at least that the case for me.
often i realize that im feeling sick, i look at the clock and its eleven at night, and cant remember the last time i ate.

imt: tears

i have long been feeling like a collection of rips and tears...

...rips and tears, and then sewn back together quite haphazardly.

week 45: fortune

fortune.

years ago at the begining or rebegining of a relationship, i had a very nice lunch with a woman who held a special place in my heart, although at that point i never would have admitted it.

we went to a chinese restaurant in downtown folsom and had yummy noodles.

at the end they brought out the fortune cookies, mine was:

you will find happiness with a lost love.

hers was:

your future has its roots planted deeply in your past.

it was kinda a neat moment, it didnt last, in the long run, but it was really something while it lasted.

this is a good memory .

IFN: The crux.

this one resonates on almost every level and in different ways.

here i am, back where i started five years ago, and wondering how the hell it is that i have come back to this. why i made decisions that have ultimately led me to waste/spend five years of my life and have nothing to show for it but more loss and debt than i had when i left.

i feel like, in some ways, ive failed.

i always knew deep down that i would come back, but really had hoped that it would be a triumphant return rather than the situation that i find myself.

and that the thing, i really was set up for success, and i managed to mess that up.

anyway.

anyway.

topic 48: chair

this weeks entry for artwords

chairs.

it reminded me of some of the office jobs ive had, one in particular where there were two types of chairs. the nice new ones in the production(my) department, and the rest of the building.

the reason we had newer chairs was that we didnt get new chairs when the rest of the building did a year before.

finally hr buckled and we gots our nice new chairs.

so comfy.

till the rest of the building found out and would try and steal them when we too our breaks.

the solution was that we would scoot around all day long to ensure that our chairs remained in our possession.

it was kinda fun.

week 44: green

for some reason i dont do so well with prompts that are colors. at least at first, this one is the idea i finally came up with after much much thought.

when i was in preschool i loved kermit the frog, and from what ive been told, the color green. so much so that when i was at school i would take all the green paint and not let anyone else use it.

kinda like picasso's blue period, only green and fingerpaints... and being like four.

neurotically yours fan art.

germaine

im a huge fan of these short animations, i was sitting around the other night, sketching and watching the videos, and this found its way onto the page.

go check them out at ill will press.

influential "people" who have never lived

for art jumble

well, not a people, but i thought it would be fun to draw good ol HAL 9000.

it was.

possibly a new direction

its been mentioned that i am unable to draw the lower half of the body, in reality im just not that interested in the lower half artistically in a general sense.

anyway i spent to/last night drawing people "below the belt" so to speak.

my first fan art!

many thanks to morgan over at i wish i had a penguin friend

you can keep the chocolate but the vodka's mine, whohoohoohoohahahaha

my submission for missed connections comics

or

this is my submission for the project julia wertz has set up, missed connection comics i suggest that you go and check out both links, and hey, be a pal and let her know who sent you there, thanks.

secret and , yes... snap v,2.o

this is the fist crossover post ive done, i think, i dont feel too badly about it as ive already did a snap. it was inspired by an ex who used to say the the most, well... wrong things in my ear at the worst moments, little secrets that would make my mind snap.

she quite possibly could be the devil.

but even the devil couldnt be that bad

week 43: snap

i was thinking about making this a couple of panels long, but then it wouldnt be work safe. lets say that the reprisal was disproportionate to the transgression.


guys, a note: bra snapping leads to blunt trauma to the head/neck/chest/ groin area.

also im not so thrilled how the art turned out on this one, i may redraw it later.

p.s. week 43 out of 52. w00t!
