I make local commercials for a living. You know, those commercials for local businesses which have low production values and just in general, look cheaper than national ads. We try hard to work with what we have, but often what we have is no time and even less budget. That’s when the [...]
It kind of goes without saying that I have an interest in the Archie universe, despite the fact that I have never, ever read an Archie comic in my life (at least not cover-to-cover). But holy crap, they’re finally updating the style! That’s amazing!
I think I’ll pick myself up a copy of this one, for [...]
Once upon a time, I had it in my head that I should start acting like an adult and send out holiday cards to friends and family. Only, being an artist I couldn’t bring myself to go out and buy a mass-pack of cards, I should design them myself and have them printed, dangit!
Well, [...]
I keep forgetting that it’s the Christmas season. We’ve been working on Christmas commercials at work since slightly before Thanksgiving, seemingly in a vacuum. I don’t go shopping much, and I don’t have a TV at home or a radio in my car, so I’ve been further insulated from the hubbub of the [...]
Every now and then, when the planets align and the budget is right, I get to do something really fun and challenging at my regular job. This is one of those cool things. This is also one of the only chances I’ve had to do anything in Flash in a long time.

I had something pretty remarkable happen to me this week.
I ran out of money. That’s not the remarkable part, that happens whenever I have some sort of situation change. I just moved and I’m still working on my budget and billpaying schedule relative to the whole higher-rent-but-no-utilities situation, so this was bound [...]
Did I ever tell you about when we lived in the house and the raccoons decided to winter in our walls? We finally chased them off by all of us running after them with fencing weapons (one of the roommates was a fencer). Their reputation for being bandit-like is not undeserved, and the little natural [...]
Readers of my livejournal might remember this from a few months ago, which, I suppose is cheating. I always intended to post this comic over here when I started the comic in earnest, so it seems like now is as good a time as any. Also, I seem to be on a [...]
I get all these ideas for things when it’s the most inconvenient to write them down. Most of the time I get good ideas when I’m in the shower, and I can’t seem to hold on to them until I get out in order to write them down. Worse yet, I seem to [...]
One of my buddies emailed me earlier today and asked where he could read the comic I mentioned a couple of posts ago. The answer is here, and that I haven’t really done any work on it since then. I just wanted to get over the hump of starting. It’s going [...]
