An Apple a Day... #9
This took a while to finish. Mostly, I had the idea but wasn't sure how to format it. When that was figured out, I wasn't jazzed about drawing the last panel. But, it came together. It's also a bit blurry for some reason.

Snowmen
It's getting colder outside and I want it to snow. In the meantime, I'm going to draw snowmen. Here is a couple to start with.
Also, I'm hard at work on the next comic. It's not very complex but it's taking longer than I anticipated. Just need more motivation, I suppose.

Hug Bear - In Technicolor!
Someone wanted me to clean up my Hug Bear drawing and add a splash of color to it so they can put it on a shirt.

Funeral
Went to a funeral for my great aunt today. I drew a picture of me in a suit. It was also raining.

Sean Versus a Shark
"What should I draw on the first page of this comic," Sean asked.
"You punching a shark in the face. 'Cause eff sharks," I replied.
And thus this picture was born. Well, not immediately. First, I drew a picture to illustrate what I was talking about:
I suggested he be smoking a pipe and wearing an old-school red and white striped swim suit as he was doing the deed. (I also suggested the use of a disclaimer spreading a lie that he has punched a shark in the face. In real life!)
A little later, he sent me a rough sketching of a drawing that will depict him committing a violent act against a shark. I then took an artistic liberty with it and drew all over it and came up with the mess of lines and squiggles at the top of this rambling tale.
I showed it to Sean and he laughed saying that's precisely what he was drawing in the first place. So, while not entirely my drawing, it was fun to draw all over someone else's drawing and present the results to them (and here, for that matter).
Besides, I'm sure Sean's own final version of this drawing will be much better than my messy "interpretation."
A Little Doodling Never Hurt Anybody...
Except for that one guy, that one time, during that one year, long, long. ago.
Incidentally, both my brother and I appear in this particular post. In caricature form.

An Apple a Day... #7
Titled Writer's Block.
Horizontal formatting is a killer when it comes to resolution. I don't like having to make a thumbnail so you can actually read the comic, but such is life and I'm not gonna rule out horizontal formats just because they can be hard to read and I'm too lazy to link to the larger version.
So just click the image to see the (not much) larger, but legible version.

Regarding the Comics
I'm now noticing a trend.
These comics don't just present a beginning and an end anymore. In fact, some have middles, clear as day, such as Raining Babies. Others have middles that aren't blatantly obvious, yet are there. Those have yet to be produced. And one, Pimple, has an end that also happens to be the middle. Is that even possible? I suppose it can be. Or, maybe that's just an illustration of cause and effect.
In any case, these comics are no longer just easy things to throw together. Now, my desire to tell narratives is popping up.
Dammit.

An Apple a Day... #6
This one took longer to complete. Titled, Raining Babies, and it's loosely based on a Flaming Lips song of the same name. "Loosely" might be an understatement, but it was what I thought about when I listened to the song.
Anyway.....

An Apple a Day... #5
Another installment in the "Candid Speakers" segment that will pop up from time to time. This time it features Banana speaking about his view on life and love. Candidly, of course.

An Apple a Day... #3
Titled, To Live.
This particular comic was the first to be conceptualized, yet, due to other ideas being more fun, was the third to be completed.

New Beginings: An Apple a Day... #1
To commemorate this refresh, I'm posting the first comic from something I'm beginning to create, tentatively titled, An Apple a Day... However, if I decide to add different fruits to this than just an apple, well then the title will need to change, yes? If this turns out to be the case, the title will be Fruit Salad. I like both titles (though, I must admit, I'm a bit partial to Fruit Salad).
Oh, and this comic doesn't make sense at a glance. That's the point. I present a beginning and an end. The middle is up to the reader to fill in. Now without further ado:

It seems I've been a terrible blogger. I've really let this place go. There are cobwebs everywhere and dust, inches thick, covering every surface, nook, and cranny. But, I've decided I'm gonna be a good blogger now. I can use this for posting work, thoughts, ideas, anything really. I doubt anyone will read it but, so what? So, starting today, this place will be different - overhauled in a way.
If, indeed anyone does read this, then perhaps a quick update is in order. First, I no longer reside in Philadelphia. I no longer create work for Motion Heads. The PSA for Fresh Artists was created and presumably never used. Or maybe it is being used in various donation meetings, just not on their website. The lego project was a week-long grind that was completed satisfactorily and looked great. But never in my life had I touched legos that were so dirty, grimy and hairy. After all that, I moved back to Delaware and tried to find a paying job in animation. In Spetember 2008, I went to New York with my buddy,Zach, and took a test at Little Airplane Productions. I didn't get the job, but Zach did. I came home and got a job working at Best Buy. It sucked but was a paycheck. Plus I met some nice people and that's always wonderful. Zach had tried for 6 months to get me a job at Little Airplane.
In March, they called me in for another test, claiming usually people don't test twice, but I get to under a technicality. Apparently in the time since I had taken the test and failed, miserably, I might add, they had decided to make up a tutorial. So I retook the test and did infinitely better this time around (it helped that I got some pointers from Zach beforehand...). Then a month passed and I recieved word that I didn't get the job again. Disheartened, I went back to my life at Best Buy, resolved and resigned to make the best of things. A few weeks later, Little Airplane called again, this time they wanted to offer me an interview. I went in, nervous to impress and fairly sure I'd fail again, but I interviewed like a champ. A few days later, I was offered a position working as an animator for The Wonder Pets! on Nick Jr. Ecstatic, I put in my resignation at Best Buy and went to work in the city. It's proven to be the best job I've ever had.
Come September 4th, I will lose this job. But that's not to say I can't come back. The season is over and the project is over. Hopefully there will be more work, and I'll be back, enjoying what I'm doing. Until then, I'll try to find something else. Freelance or something, I don't know.
