A New 2"x8" Comic

Hey! It's been a long time since I posted here, and an even longer time since I've drawn a 2x8 strip. I was in the process of packing up my office (they are moving me to another office tomorrow) and I stumbled upon a small pad of 2x8 dialogue strips, a rarity up here in Pixar land. I was so happy that I immmediately sat down and started drawing. So here it is, my new 2x8 strip starring a dinosaur I drew about a year ago.
I hereby challenge my fellow Storyboredom bloggers to draw their own 2x8 strips!! C'mon guys!! It'll be like 2005 all over again!! Remember those bygone days? The video Ipod was brand new!! The PSP was brand new!! The PS3 existed only in rumors!!! "Lazy Sunday" was the viral video of the moment!!! It was an innocent time....
Anyway, here it is.

Uber Geek

So I went against all rational thought and bought a computer off a guy online. But it wasn't just any laptop -it was a tablet PC- or better thought of as a digital sketchbook. It is light, cute and even warm if you let it run long enough. Now I'm getting past the lectures from my family and glares from my spouse about dropping a bunch of money I cannot spare (I keep saying it is a tool not a toy -hee hee). I'm moving on to the next step. How do I use this thing? So I'll throw some doodles on the blog every once in awhile (you know me once a year) to see if I'm figuring out how to draw digitally. Do I like Sketchbook Pro or Photoshop? Can I embrace the digital sharpie or make my own brush? What ever may come I blame craigslist and instant gratification.

Meeting doodle

Of course, I can't even remember what meeting this was from.

Story Time!

The blog is called "Story Boredom" right? So here's Amy Sedaris with a story!



Enjoy!

Moleskin-Table Reading Sketches

Did these whilst being entertained by the table readers.

Aawwwww...

C'mon, that's cute. Here's the caption:

In this photo and caption provided by Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Beauregard, an 8-month-old male Grants zebra is greeted by Brandy, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin while out on a daily walk around the park at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, Calif., Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007. Beauregard was hand-reared at the park and takes daily strolls around the 135-acre park.

I mean, c'mon.

Fuck...

Moleskin - Carwash/BajaFresh

Which drawings are done from the Carwash and which ones from are from Baja Fresh? You decide.

Nerdiest Post Ever!

I have been away from this blog forever, and now I'm back to bore you with geek shit. Or am I? I just think this is cool. Could it be that Apple is finally starting to think about a touch sensitive laptop? The reason I'm posting about this is I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in this. I would love a laptop with Photoshop that I could use like a Cintiq. Anyone else?

ARRRRRRRRR!!!!!

LA Myth: Meltdown Show

So when I was at the Comic Con I ran into a former Cal Arts student, Aaron Clark . He invited me to enter a piece for a show he was planning at
Meltdown in Hollywood. I said yes but wasn't sure if I could pull off a piece in time with work, family and the Wii. So the Friday before the show I kicked myself in the butt and cranked out a 'lil gouachey 'sumpin 'sumpin. Not the greatest but at least I got into the theme. The show got a write up in LAWeekly!! (look I'm all excited like a little school girl)



Thanks Aaron for asking me to participate!
I'll do better next year!! Promise!!!
