Maybe I should ride the train more often ;)
WELCOME!
WELCOME! This blog is a personal project I started in August 2011 with the goal of drawing and posting an illustrated status message a day - I haven't stopped since. On weekday mornings, I get up, draw a cartoon, and post whatever I can manage to before going to work. I began cartooning to find my voice. Still searching, but I've learned that the attempt is everything. What's your status message today?

What Weekends Are For
Sometimes you have to add a little panache where you can.
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend :)

New Yorker Thanksgiving
It's been a few years since I've spent a Thanksgiving in New York. And even on holidays, the city not for the faint of heart.

A Chinese-American Thanksgiving
When I was younger, I based my knowledge of American holidays on TV shows and Norman Rockwell paintings. Compromise was turkey fried rice and dumplings.
Didn't make it home this year, but I still made turkey fried rice. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and lots of good eats.

This Is Not An Asian
I saw the new Wachowski-Tykwer sci-fi film "Cloud Atlas" over the weekend. I enjoyed it, but laughed at all the wrong parts. The treachery of images is that we all see what we see. And sometimes, it's hilarious to see how we are seen.

Saturdays Are For Mulling
I didn't finish a new cartoon this morning, but here's a page from my sketchbook. I like to keep my Saturdays open for mulling.

A Note From Connie
UPDATE: I've been cartooning my heart out for over a year and, last week, I hit 300 illustrated posts. I just want to say thank you to everyone for reading, for coming along for the ride, and for all your messages of encouragement and support. I could not have sustained this labor of love (and madness) without you.
When I started, my biggest obstacle was myself. A year later, I'm happy to report that I'm onboard too :) I've learned so much in this year and, amazingly, I've found friends in the process. Without sarcasm or wit, let me just say a sincere thanks to all of you.
Oh yeah and - make no mistake - being single is fabulous ;)

Surviving Fatherhood
A messy pencil sketch was all I could manage today, but memories are still sharp.
Happy November birthday, Dad! Thanks for not giving up on us!

Back In My Day...
Seriously, you should vote. If just so you can say this.
Today's cartoon is for all the super trouper citizens who waited in lines - who stuck it out - who found a way to vote. Rock.

Forgoing Pleasantries
This is what happens if you take away my precious...
On a more serious note, it has been a dramatic week for the Eastern Seaboard. A lot of heroes out there. Take care, friends.
