| A House and a Window |
[Jul. 12th, 2009|11:29 am] |
Another body house. This was drawn on the plane on the way to New York City for MoCCA. Ed had picked me up at 1am or something crazy like that, so we could drive down to Seattle and fly from there. So I was probably pretty pooped at the time of drawing. The person house isn't perfect but it does convey what I was envisioning. The jet had a strange pattern on the wallpaper, which I didn't really capture. And there was just a vast plane of white with blue above it outside the window, which you also can't tell from the drawing.

I was still thinking about bodies and houses and things. So: body as landscape, face as iceberg. And I like the idea of a body with a keyhole. Also, the image of someone raising their shirt or opening their shirt to show something is quite intriguing to me.

I was reading Lynch on Lynch and finding it quite inspiring. Just different things that would get David Lynch jazzed up or intrigued. Like houses. And darkness. So I had that in my head as I started drawing, and sort of had this idea of bodies as houses, or bodies with features of houses. And also I was still thinking about those demons, looking for a way in.

I keep thinking recently about the contrast between the day job and the life outside the day job. The adventures and then the Daily Planet. And then this morning what came into my head was stuff in the Prophet of Yonwood, which I just finished last night, stuff about loving the big weird wonderful world.
Anyways I have been better about keeping Another One Hundred Page Project updating than I have been about posting here.

Oh look, Another One Hundred Page Project page 50! That was a little while back. I guess it was after TCAF but before MoccA, and my time in Ontario had completely thrown me off my program. So let's get back on track! I am still feeling that way - LET'S GET BACK ON TRACK!!!
The tomato plants in the first panel are now all grown up and living in the garden and look like they should produce a lot of tomatoes. The bike... I think it was from a photo online, but I really couldn't say for sure. |

I still haven't upgraded my flickr account to PRO. So I have 200 pictures and they are long since used up and every time I add stuff, it pushes other stuff out of view. So I was looking to see what the oldest stuff was and it is from February 2006. Gosh.
And it was when Frank Miller was saying he was going to do a comic of Batman vs Bin Laden. Weird.
This was my imagining of what it would be like.

Overalls? Coveralls? This was on the way to TCAF, and these two were a couple. I had gotten up really early and felt like a fuzz-headed pile of crap, if I recall correctly. Anyways, the guy with the moustache looked like quite a character. His giant moustache, and denim overalls. A BELT over his overalls! And furthermore he couldn't sit still, one of those people who have to kind of prowl around. Strangely there was another older guy also wearing denim overalls on that flight. Are they coming back? |

| Launch Partay |
[Jun. 30th, 2009|08:41 pm] |
Here are some photos from the launch party on Saturday. It was a good time. A nice mix of people. A bit of rain didn't dampen our spirits. Fun fact: It also rained the night of our house launch for the first True Loves book.
Me and our sign. I decided to sport bare feet, inspired by Dalton in NYC.
( Some more pictores... )

Last episode of True Loves 2 is up on Serializer (if the site is working...) Just to remind you that there is the launch-y party-y thing this Saturday. All are welcome!  And here are some maybe a little saucy pages of Another One Hundred Page Project.   In bed and drawing Manien. Mostly it is just her shoulders, if you are looking from the right angle. |

I was on the Seabus, drawing other passengers. Trying to capture the similar eyes of a mother and daughter. Puzzling over the boats swarming around the inlet.
I have missed a couple of these. You can check them out over here if you want to catch up. I'm wearing a sweater. What happened to the summer? |

| Friday Night Death |
[Jun. 19th, 2009|05:27 pm] |
So this was this day when a coworker got hit by a van. It sort of just bumped her arm, but the driver didn't notice and didn't stop or anything, and she was disturbed. I took a picture of the red marks on her arm, and it comes up on my computer sometimes when the screensaver goes on with random photos.
Discussion of crazy drivers led to general talk of death by car, and my feelings at my previous job that my life would end in the vast parking lot of the mall, run over by some drunk or heavily medicated old rich person. So the second drawing is actually me and not my coworker, even though it clearly looks like a sequence here. |

![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) penrod_pulaski suggested that his pal benrosen was wanting people to draw White Cat. Well, White Cat is a comic I got at Mocca and really enjoyed. So I drew this. Oh I now see that yesterday was International White Cat Day! Oh well.

Hey we are having a party. Come on by and whoop it up, True Loves style.
Also there is this thing, if you are cheap and haven't bought the book. Or if you aren't cheap, and you were just waiting for the party. |

| Transformer |
[Jun. 16th, 2009|07:36 pm] |
April 24 and things were happening. Starting a big long art project of life. I was laying low and I had the idea to look for Joseph Beuys on Youtube. I found a couple of things and tried to draw him. That hat is tricky. One of the videos was called Transformer, and then a Marnie Stern song came on the computer, also called Transformer. Funny that really what that word brings to mind for me is Lou Reed's album than you know, Autobots in disguise. |

| Hey anyone interested? |
[Jun. 15th, 2009|09:32 pm] |
Someone ordered some old comics I did back in... oh 1995/96 last month and I printed up a couple of extra sets. There are 10 issues of Very Quiet, and sadly only 2 issues of the sequel Two Feet Gone (unfinished). Without actually counting, I would say this is over 200 pages of comics. Offered up at the very low price of $20. I went the extra mile on the set pictured below and coloured the covers with pencil crayons, so for that extra bonus, it would be $30.
Anyone interested? Paypal me 20 or 30 bucks at vinegar22 (at) hotmail.com
Oh what's it about? Um. A neighbourhood, old friends, and the mysteries of bi-dimensional living. |

| Hey that old thing again... |
[Jun. 15th, 2009|07:55 pm] |
Cleaning the filing cabinets at work, a-way back in April and what did I find? Some kind of plaster mold from ages gone by. No one knew what it was for, so I ended up throwing it out. But it was an intriguing form, so I tried to draw it later. And as I drew that a song from the last episode of Twin Peaks came on my computer, so I thought I would do a crappy drawing of the entry to the Black Lodge. Portals. |

An interview, or two interviews over here. It was kind of unusual as there were questions for me, and then questions for Manien. I apologize for the overlap, although I guess it came out okay.

I made a concerted effort to take some photos of MoCCA, as I came out of TCAF with not ONE.
(well yes half of them were drunken photos around Times Square, but damn it I took pictures)
So this was the view from our hotel room. It was quite close to the Armory, and Times Square and stuff. The view was actually at least three times wider than this view. Those water containers on the rooftops! What are they for, besides helping Daredevil put out fires?
( Some other photos ) |
