Derailed

No mentally unstable celebrities were harmed in the making of this strip.

housecleaning

Did some reorganizing. There are now some handy category buttons in the right column to give easy access to archived posts for different kinds of stuff (Dreams, Art, etc.). There will be more buttons added as more material gets posted. I've also refiled the Dream posts under the dates when the dreams originally happened. This will help as I start to add a bunch of older dreams to the the site that have been missing since I switched to the Blogger format. I just added all of the dreams from October 2005. A lot of them are really stupid. Enjoy!

explosions in the sky

At work in the Shadow Kingdom call center. I had to leave the floor to ask someone a question, which meant I had to leave the building and walk across a field of twisted, rusted metal under a massive freeway interchange, to a ratty retail store in a strip mall a few hundered yards away.

I go into the store through the back entrace, into a messy conference room/lounge area. I get my information, and as I'm leaving I can see a salesman and a customer sitting at a plastic table, discussing something.
I walk out of the store the same way I came in, emerging back into the the field under the freeway. Golden sunlight leaks in between sequoia-sized pilons.
Something happens up above, and a cement mixer comes tumbling over the side of the freeway structure. It seems to fall in slow motion. This causes a chain reaction pileup, and soon other cars start raining down, along with broken glass and flailing human bodies.
I try to make myself feel concerned about the immense human suffering that must be happening, but instead I just find myself entranced by the beauty of the spectacle.

sister's funeral/creepy new boyfriend

My sister is dead, I don't know why. I'm at her funeral, outdoors. There are trees, people wearing black. This is sad.

A female friend brings over her new boyfriend, some creepy looking dude whom she claims has a "muscular" sex organ.

Skriblmenn in THREAT N INK #2

Cartoonist and zine impresario Jethro Wall was kind enough to include a couple of my The Skriblmenn comic strips in the second issue of his homemade anthology Threat N Ink. It's pretty neat. Check out Jethro's website here. He will totally accept money and send you comics if you ask.

Back in the Saddle

Anna Nicole Smith died while I was drawing this. That has nothing to do with anything, but it seemed like something I should mention.

inappropriate sharing at the picnic

I'm at a picnic or barbeque or some kind of outdoor party with friends. For some reason the conversation turns to a girl I used to know in high school, and I unexpectedly blurt out that I still have a crush on the girl, despite the fact that we haven't spoken in years, and I hadn't really thought about her much in months. My friends are bemused by this non-sequitur, and I feel strangely elated to have gotten it off my chest.

Hey. Sorry for not posting in a while. I've been (slowly) working on some new projects, and also there have been some unexpected life events to deal with. BOOM. BIG BADA BOOM. MULTIPASS. Et cetera. That and I'm slow. While I get my stuff together, please enjoy the following links:
