Two weeks ago, I moved my drawing equipment and desk to an office in Ballard, where I've set up a small studio with a few other artists. The idea is that I'll work harder if I'm commuting someplace. So far, it's driven a huge uptick in productivity ( Read more... )

The line art for page 7 is done, I think.

Last night Jiyoung and I went out for karaoke with a couple of friends. It was only my second time doing the non-Korean, sing-in-front-of-strangers kind of karaoke, and I had a lot of fun. Still, there were some seriously sketchy cats around (what Jiyoung refers to as pyeontae ajosshi, or "perverted old men ( Read more... )

I've started coloring Project Waldo. Page 1 is up.

I'm kinda mad about the Democrats backing away from the public option. Actually, I'm really mad. They're surrendering so fast it's almost like they were hoping for an excuse to retreat. Could you imagine George Bush getting scared away from a signature reform just because some people waved some ( Read more... )

On tormentedartist's recommendation, I set up a deviantart account. Thanks, tormented (by the way, I couldn't find you on there -- can you shoot me a link?). Man, what a huge site. Some really inspiring stuff, though. It makes me want to start coloring Project Waldo, is what it does.

I set up a new portfolio site, as well. It's got some stuff I did ( Read more... )

I've posted page 5 on my project blog. I hope this doesn't come across as self-promotional spam or anything. It just helps me stay focused if I imagine there are people out there who will frown when I dawdle. You are all my imaginary spotters.

I stayed up late last night talking with Jiyoung about art critics. The whole thing was triggered by this ( Read more... )

Page 4 is up.

I'm looking for good comics to read. Or normal non-pictorial (handicapped, as I like to think of it) literature. Any suggestions?

I've been on sort of a post-apocalyptic kick lately. This month I've read The Road, Riddley Walker, The Drifting Classroom and the entire run of Dragon Head. I think I need to take a break from the genre. I' ( Read more... )

Here's page 3 of Project Waldo.

I'll try to write more when my hand uncramps.

You can see the first two pages of my new comic here.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'll be posting something like 1.7 pages per week, assuming I can't figure out how to draw faster.

stuff i learned in korea:

1. elevator buttons can and should be de-selectable
2. medicine costs about the same as m&ms when you cut out the part that goes to paying for the new england mansions of pharmaceutical company executives
3. assigned seating at theaters makes life mellow and worth living
4. alleyways at 3am aren't for being scared in, they're ( Read more... )

 I'm really going to finish this.

Really.

I know you don't believe me.

Just watch.
