I've been doing it for about 6 years now. This year was kind of a short one:<br />

Hello, gentle readers! I've been working on drawing out some events from last summer that were pretty much lifted from a bad Rom-com movie, the night I met a solid half of Davin's family for the first time. We went out to the beachside suburb of White Rock, where Davin spent his adolescence. It's also about 15 minutes from where I grew up, so we had shared experiences there, night swimming in the ocean and general teen shenanigans: </div>

Early February was his 32nd birthday (just a baby!) and I decided to make him a little book of 32 things about him I've noticed I like. <br />

I like this little juxtaposition. only a few pages apart in my sketchbook are the last drawing I did of Colin while we were togther, followed by the second drawing I did of Davin. I liked how the drawings were so similar, and they bookend this comic that bridges the two chapters of my life. I'm not done photoshopping the drawings in so don't mind the gross eraser marks. please. </div>

Hey fanbase!!<br />
<br />
Remember 4 years ago I made this comic about breaking my finger and the subsequent related misadventures that happened with it? And I didn't quite get along to the misadventures part? Yeah, Since I finished my bike journal recently, I started drawing on that shizznit again. <br />
So my lofty goal is to finish at least 22 more pages (I have about 5 done out of 22 so far), print up a trade paper back and sell it at APE con in San Francisco come October. Bam.<br />

Now that I've finished my bike journal I can get back into the ole' back burner! <br />
this is a comic I started last summer for Dear Diaryahh 4 that never made it in. It concerns the illustrious Congee Noodle House on broadway where Atli and I hash out our lives. One night we were there and the forces of life and death met in a crazy singularity. <br />

<br />
Hey 2014! what a year! Right out of the gate in February big changes were afoot for me, the summer was a rollercoaster I referred to as my "Summer of Sex and Violence" documented in an illustrated journal that I started on July 1st after Colin and I parted ways after 12 years of cohabitation. In august, Atli and I rode our bikes to San Fransisco, and when I got home I ripped the band-aid off and Colin and I moved out of our apartment permanently. I will always care for Colin and he will be family to me for the rest of my life, but 12 years is a long time. <br />
You might be able to gather from the title of my summer journal that the last few months have been somewhat dude-centric. Without getting into details, I have been very lucky. These are a couple of little paintings I've done inspired by some of the lovely souls I've met or gotten to know better or just simply admired in the summer glare. <br />
