fields and eagle's nests

Griffin's been wanting to walk non-stop, so I've been taking him to big open places where he can wander to his heart's content. The other day we walked across a baseball field and watched an eagle building a nest.

Sudden Cosmic Experience

My new Art Zine that I only work on right before bed has been coming along. It's going to be a companion publication to Capacity Number Eight and both of them will debut at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival on May 11th and 12th. I'm excited that I get to go to the Toronto festival. It's suppose to be one of the best around!

Pony Club group show!

I made this little piece for the group show called "Search Results" that's opening this Thursday at the Pony Club gallery in Portland, Oregon. There's an amazing group of artists involved. I can't wait to see it all online.

Here's another little spontaneous drawing I just put up for sale on my etsy shop. 

Ghost Doctor on my drawing table

Bit by bit, The Understanding Monster, book two is getting finished.

Magic Fish

I've got a big Magic Fish woodcut for sale over at my Etsy Shop. It's one of the biggest woodcuts I've made so far. It's been living on the wall of my studio, watching me draw, but I think it might want to get out and meet new people.

4 little drawings

These four little drawings of characters with their favorite transportation devices are on sale over at my Etsy shop.

The surface of Toy Mountain

Micro-World Explorer

A new mini woodcut for sale over at my etsy shop. This Micro-World Explorer had to be magnifies ten thousand times to become this four inch tall portrait.

Crayon portrait of the Monkey Lord's cousin

                           More crayon time with Griffin today.

Whale-headed girl

Suddenly showed up right before I left my studio today.

Monster Detective in Animal Shoes

I finished this little woodcut character today and put him up for sale on my Etsy Shop

Explorer

Another late night doodle

This, and the previous doodle were both drawn directly on the cover to the pad of paper I've been making my comics on. Just a bit of the overflow that happens along the way.

Let's teleport!

Stayed up late doing some tiny doodles instead of going to bed when I should have.

weird times for mummy

The mummy tumbles through the doorway upside down from the ceiling. It's good to be back at work on The Understanding Monster, book 2 after a week away.

ASC, Flood Tide Rising

Here's the cover I made for the newest record from ASC. It's the seventh release from Space Cadets that I've done the art for.

Are you okay?

Another panel from The Understanding Monster, book two. I'm having so much fun making this!

Spiderman sighting

I wish I could've gotten a better picture of this, but it all happened so fast. Spiderman flew by me on a skateboard yesterday. Right after I snapped this photo he completely wiped out. I yelled "are you okay, Spiderman?!" and he jumped up, gave me two thumbs up and sped away.

Crayons!

More crayon drawing with Griffin. He's really into throwing balls right now.

Space Cadets

Crayon sessions

Griffin and I have been getting crazy on some crayon drawings together. We both color on the same page at the same time and get really loud. Sometimes I have to stop him from eating the crayons.

Barong mask

I drew a border around this photo of a Barong Mask from Bali a couple of years ago and mounted it on wood. It hangs in my studio. It's good to have things that feel like encouraging power objects hanging on the walls while I work.

GridLords anthology release!

 Hey! Tonight, if you're in Portland, this is definitely what I'd be going to tonight. GridLords has been hosting monthly comics readings and performances for awhile now, as well as posting some really great interviews with cartoonists. Now they're releasing their first publication! I'm Not Afraid To Love is a romance themed comics anthology with an exciting list of contributors. Below is a panel from my three page story I did for it. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

First Contact

I just made this into a limited edition print. It's available over at my Etsy Shop.

Mummy on the floor

More work on The Understanding Monster, book two. It's probably the most fun I've had working on a comic. I feel incredibly lucky that I get to go off to my studio and document these imaginary events.

Happy Valentines Day!

This is from a card I gave to my wife on our 8th anniversary a few days ago.

from a stack of unfinished drawings

As I was leaving the studio today, I stopped to look through a stack of unfinished drawings from under my drawing table and snapped this photo. I have piles of drawings I've never really shown anyone. I'll have to start taking more photos like this.

studio window

It's nice to look up and see wooly mammoth and pyramid silhouettes in the window at dusk.

Caterpillar Dragon

I just finished this little woodcut Caterpillar Dragon and put it up for sale on my Etsy Shop.

The ghost animal is laughing

Year of the Snake

That piece I made for the Year of the Snake show at Giant Robot gallery is up for sale on their web store here. It's a really long drawing on a curved piece of wood. The whole show is worth checking out. There's some excellent work!

Relax, We Have Alien Vehicles

I've been working on a new art zine a few times a week, usually right before bed.  I'm not sure when it'll be done, but there's 11 pages so far.  It's about Mind-Technology from the future, a subject I'm passionate about.

jack Kirby study

This is a little sketchbook study I did of Fantastic Four number 13, page 21, panel 1, drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by Steve Ditko in the early 60s. Words by Stan Lee. I love all of Jack Kirby's work, and this was just a little way to get to know him better.
