News from beyond the grave!!

Posted on June 23, 2013 by admin

Hi folks,

Ok first off, I’m not dead…neither is this site, nor are my bad comics, and silly drawings. I have been extremely busy with many things, but still drawing, painting and all of that usual stuff more or less non stop, and have been updating in many places on the Internet yet not updating the site…sorry about that. If you click on the “drawings” link on the top bar of the site you will find all sorts of new goodies 🙂

Calgary expo 2013
A VERY belated, but very sincere thank you to everyone that came out, stopped by, said hi, picked up books and just generally made the expo great – thank you so much, you are the reason I go to expo, even on as little sleep as I had this last time haha.

interview on the Mostly Harmless podcast
The super awesome mastermind “Dammit Damian” behind the Mostly Harmless podcast interviewed me in episode 35. You can find it on iTunes, or go to his site and get I and more info here.

I also drew the teddy bear with the bottle logo now available as a t-shirt through his site as well so please check that out while you are there!

random musings
I am also hoping to upgrade my site in the near future to allow easier updating when I am on the road, which has been frequently lately. Anyway, stay tuned for more comics and art coming soon.

I also have two of my books available in the iBookstore now, and all of them in print via amazon.com. Check out the links in the sidebar for more info.

Your buddy,

Look for the guy that looks to be delirious with jetlag & sleep deprivation…

Calgary Expo – booth 1124

Who’s terrible at updating their site with important information in a timely manner? Yep it’s me.

I am at the Calgary Expo all weekend at booth 1124 – stop by and say hello!
I am exactly behind the giant orange ING tent. I am slightly less jetlagged today and should be slightly more coherent if all goes well 😉

Seeya soon.

Your buddy,

Check…1…2…3….. is this thing on?

Hi folks,

There haven’t been any updates for a little bit as I have been overly swamped with real life duties, AND getting not one but TWO new books put together in time for the coming Calgary Expo (no, i’m not done yet…cross your fingers for me).

Speaking of Calgary Expo here is some info for you!
—-
Important things to know about the upcoming Calgary Expo:

1. It is for 3 days at the end of April.

2. I will be there (sorry). (‘dorkboy comics’)

3. I am ~~hoping~~ GOING to have two new books:
(1) Kernel Corn & Peater the Black Eyed Pea collection

Here’s a sneak peak of part of the cover…..

(2) a followup to ‘well, this is awkward’ collecting sketches, paintings comics etc

4. I am planning on not sleeping. (See item #3)

5. I will make prints again, so if there are any specific drawings of mine you like and want in print form let me know and I will do my best to make them. They will be charming prints…or is that the other way around?

6. Bring a stick to poke me if I look sleepy/ am asleep.

7. This isn’t the zoo, DO feed the cartoonists.

8. I will try and update details again before the show, but back to posting drawings until then.

Looking forward to seeing all of you again!

So yeah, I WILL be there, and will post more info as it gets closer…until then back to working on books, and do check out a bunch of drawings I have been making posted up on flickr….

Your buddy,

Hi folks,

Here’s a new Kernel Corn for you made completely (including the title) with the Adobe Ideas app started on my phone and finished on my iPad.

Also be sure to check out my flickr page for other photos and sketches!

So, it seems I have amassed a number of new drawings in the past month or so that I have been meaning to post so here they are!

Some are drawn on location of various interesting locales here in Calgary, some are cartoon drawings of things I have eaten, and a mix of others.
Enjoy!

Sketchcrawl and drawings of my lunch?

Posted on July 21, 2012 by admin

Last weekend was Sketchcrawl!

I went out and drew one of the churches in part of Calgary known as Bridgeland as part of this latest Sketchcrawl(see below).

As well, to try and squeeze in some fun almost daily artwork I started doing tiny ink and watercolour drawings of my lunch (with a bit of a twist of course). It also gave me more opportunity to practice writing Hiragana (Japanese).
