More sketchbook pages.

Europe on $100 a day!

Hello friends!
I have returned from my eye-opening and entertaining tour of Europe with my parents and my aunt and uncle.  We went through 5 countries and 5 weeks, and I did 50 pages of sketchbook journaling!  I am planning to get them all photoshopped up nice, flesh it out with a bit of afterthoughts and print it up nice for presents for my parents, and maybe sell it at Canzine west in november? 

These are raw pages, I only adjusted the contrast to make it clearer. 

Hawaii Drawrins!

Hello fans!
It's been a while, Colin and I uprooted our atrophied pile of hoardings from our apartment of 7 years and moved all our precious crap to a new apartment across town, then I went to visit my pal Andria in hawaii!  In a mere 6 days, I will be travelling through Europe with my parents for over a month (!) and hopefully will do some nice drawings while i'm there.  My history with drawing on the road is spotty, this recent trip to hawaii I did some of my most diligent road drawings, I think because there was a lot of sitting around.  Usually I am too busy or tired to do much except make some notes and doodles to finish at home.  I can't really draw in a moving vehicle, and most of the time when you're travelling you're doing stuff all day and visiting.  The experience was super relaxing, as vacations are supposed to be.  Andria and I rode bikes, sat around, drank coffee, sat around, went swimming and rode bikes.  did I mention bikes?  Oh yea, we went to Target.  I love Target.   Andria has been living in Pupukea, on the north shore of Oahu, so there's not much out there but lots of colour, literally and metaphorically. 
I bought a little watercolour set to be all Victorian style on my trip to Europe, and I brought it with me and road-tested it in hawaii.  The paper in the fancy moleskine book I bought is kinda waxy and I was dissapointed that the watercolours kinda bead up, but if you erase the paper and kind of let the paint soak it a bit, then it starts to work, but still not great..  poop.  I have a pack of 5x7 watercolour paper I might bring along to europe and use that insteaders. 

More Dexter Drawin's

We've made it to season 4, here's John Lithgow as Arthur the antagonist.

Colin is famous

My main man, Colin recently collaborated on a project with noted sacramento painter, Skinner. Colin met him at APE con in San Francisco last fall. They decided Colin would build two of his wooden robots, and send them both to Skinner. He would paint both and send one back to Colin. The bot we got back made it in to Skinner's new art book, "every Man Is My Enemy"!

I'm on spring break from work right now, and Colin and I have been watching Dexter....the last couple of episodes we've been doing doodles of the characters while we watch and it's been really fun.

Seargent Doakes: This is one of my favorites even though it's super messy. Dexter and his sister Debra...I think Deb is our favorite to draw, she has such a great face.

Cold blooded best friend Miguel.

Here's the last two pages from my hourlies.

HOURLY COMIC DAY!!!! more pages to come

Here's another page from the next issue of THE FINGER!

Here's page 37 of The Finger for your reading and viewing pleasure. If you're wondering, I am numbering all the pages in order from page 1, throughout the books. In book two, it starts on page 23, and so on. This helps me keep the drawings organized and then hopefully one day I will have the whole epic in one nice professionally bound volume. *drools*

Despite my long absence I have indeed been working. I am going to be showing my work at the VanCAF comic and art festival at the Roundhouse Community center downtown in may, and that's going to be the debut of book 3 of the Finger! I am hoping to have a full length comic, 22 pages. Here's page 35 hot off the scanner!

This is the next page that comes after the last page in my new comic, so it's not in the book, but I love it so I'm sharing.

Here's the cover for my latest endevor in comics!! This is not going to be a limited edition of 25 books (because one page is missing) and I am going to do a new edition of the Finger part 2 once I get enough pages together for it to stand alone.
What this book consists of is about 9 pages more of The Finger, and a 7 page long short comic about how colin and I found Jimmy the baby Seagull this summer! That's him on the cover! lil' cutie!
So come down to Word On The Street, at the main library downtown, this sunday from 10 to 6, and buy some comics from me and all my dorkus malorcus comic friends!

Here's page 3 of the Jimmy the Seagull comic, (that's a working title).

If you're wondering what happened to page 1, it hasn't been drawn yet.

This is kinda unusual! A comic post!
I just got confirmation that I will be showing my stuff at Word On The Street book and magazine festival at the downtown library again this fall. I have about five pages of part 2 of The Finger done, so I am kinda under the wire now if I want to have new work to show.
anyway this drawing is not for the Finger, this is a little short story I was working on in tandem with Colin, about finding a baby seagull on the mean streets of East Vancouver. This drawing is not photoshopped yet so you can see all the stains and stuff on the paper. ooo, realism.

Okay, fine I'll show you what the shirt looks like: This has got to be one of the coolest designs we've had so far, and we still have lots of shirts that we need to sell! If you want one, drop me an email, yournamehere19@hotmail.com and I can hook you up! they are 20 bucks a peice, and they're american apparel brand shirts. ooooo nice!

This is fun, here's an article that David Morrison, a fan of GMMF since day one, wrote about our little festival. It's super nice except that they've got an old version of the poster with the article, and I am pretty sure that we send them a new one. Now there's no Sun Wizard and a tonne more sponsors, too. show is in one week today!!!!! I am super pumped. I can't wait to wear a walkie talkie again. kinda makes you want to go into law enforcement or security, them things do! In other news, the design for this years T-shirt has been completed by myself and Mike from Top Drawer, and he made it look so incredibly hot that it absolutely puts me to shame, and I almost don't want to show you.

Hello folks, I thought I would update you all on this years Big Greenie. We've got a deluge of new sponsors since I "finished" the poster, and some bands have come and gone, as usual. This is what the newest version of the poster looks like:

We've got some great new people on board, like a new recording studio that opened up in Nanaimo, The Noise Floor.

here's the final version of this year's Green Mountain Music Festival poster!
