A Status Message a Day #54

It's a strange day when your parents become avid readers of your blog. Needless to say, traffic is up. So is feedback. (Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the support.)

A Status Message a Day #53

It's a pretty awesome day when you go home with an armload of books from the library. Some things don't change. Am I an ă-dult, or am I an ă-dult?? #dork4life

Overheard by Connie #5

Seen and heard at 59th and 11th: a dad just trying to make the pilgrimage home.

(Also kind of how I feel about color. It took me twice as long to do a sloppy job of it. So the jury's still out.)

What is Love?


Happy 100th post! This cartoon is inspired by a popular post on Bluecentric that made the Facebook rounds: What is Love? Some Really Smart Kids May Have the Answer

A Status Message a Day #52

The triumph of this cartoon is that I actually drew a background and added a splash of color. Neither are my strengths, but not letting that stop me.

Winter is making me think I need to sign up for gym membership again. Maybe. Let me "think" about it s'more.

Dog Heroics

He thinks he's a hero. And really, he's not wrong :)

(I'm trying to learn how to color in Ps3. Clumsy so far. Which one do you like better?)

A Status Message a Day #51

Waaay behind on these "daily" status messages, but it's a busy season. Oh-so-grateful to have internet back after a few nights without. If I had to choose between a lover and the internet...that would be a really tough call, is all I'm sayin'. It tells the best bedtime stories and never hogs the covers.

A Status Message a Day #50

This is a rehashing of a short strip I did earlier this year about the virtues of delaying gratification. I drew a final panel as a bookend to that thought and spliced the two together in photoshop.

As 2011 draws to a close, I've learned this: namely, that it's important to use a straight-edge when drawing panels :)

None the wiser in my personal life, but I'm getting more comfortable with a brush :) Happy holiday season, y'all.

Ohhh yeeaah...I remember being 25. Hipsters hadn't been invented yet.

Woman on the phone at a Starbucks on the UWS. Apparently, he's trailer trash with a yacht and no business selling pencils.

A Status Message a Day #48

And we're back! Haven't been living up to posting regularly, but I hope to get back into a groove.

My problems kind of look like cute goblins. Except when I blow them up in my head.

Good Deal on Shampoo

Ah, home for the holidays...Moms don't mess around. Least of all, Asian ones.

A Status Message a Day #46

Visiting my California roots. And I finally got access to a scanner! For those of you traveling, get home safe and don't forget your jetpacks.

Licking It Off Rocks

Traveling today; homeward bound. Here's one for the road: an old sketch from earlier this year. Huge fan of Carlin, but I didn't say I could draw him!

Dogged Determination

No foolin' around -- this dog means business. I see him regularly in the park, sitting patiently at the base of a tree, while other dogs play. There's a squirrel hiding up there, he knows it.

It's gonna be a busy week, but here's an old one from my sketchbook.  I'll try to keep posting.

The Light Bulb Type

This is one of my favorite Chinese idioms: 当电灯泡. I don't want to brag, but it's kind of a special talent.

Maria Bamford on Hope

I didn't get to finish a status today; worked late. But here's an old scribble from my sketchbook. And if you don't know her, here's a short snippet of Maria Bamford awesomeness (00:47). She's one of my favorite stand-up comics.

Shoe Shopping Beats Online Dating

A hypothetical trip to the shoe store. This may have been funnier in my head. I'm experimenting with different formats and trying to find a sweet spot. (For real though, I'm done with online dating! Hmph!)

A Status Message a Day #44

Sheesh, EVERYbody's a critic...

This one didn't come out as funny as I had hoped.  Instead it makes me look a little crazy. Maybe it needs another panel?

Constructive Criticism

Tough crowd, yo. Contrary to the impression you might get from the last panel, critiques are welcome ;)

This is an old digital drawing I dug up from 2008. (Is that cheating?) Some things don't change.

Measuring progress

A year ago I vowed to become an artist in practice, not just in theory.
Hay! I think I'm making some progress!  #feelingood

A Status Message a Day #27

"There's no reason not to follow your dreams."

More than the products he created, I carry his words with me.
