ME, THE CITY

Painted this a long time ago. It was weird and ill fitting in a frame, but I needed something new for a show. It's been sitting over my desk for months, and tonight I got irritated by how obviously unfinished it was. So I added the cityscape in the background and over the matting.

So, a few things here. The first two are for a flyer for an upcoming memorial show for Derek. First is just line work, the second includes ink washes and some splatter stuff. Then a page from BABYMEN TAKE BELIZE, my new zine. Just sent this one off to the printer, supposed to get a master tomorrow morning. Gotta buy a new long armed stapler.

 

ART WALK

My friend hooked me up with a chance to show my art During a art walk in downtown Nevada City. Here are some shots of the stuff I displayed. I like how everything looked against a dirty brick wall.

SOME FENGUS

 Some pictures of Fengus From older sketchbooks. This one is a slightly He-Man styled fengus riding the Omnipitivore (more about him here: http://walrusart.blogspot.com/2013/02/underwater-adventure.html). Something about a riding a creature that in turn is riding another creature really cracks me up.

 This fengus has a weird inverted color scheme and an nose, making him a pretty offputting Fengus. That match stick made it into a few of my scans around this time. Guess I was really lazy then.

Guts for Glory.

High Art

You can skip Avengers 2, this covers it.

Derek

 

 

A few minutes after midnight, Monday June 3rd Derek was hit by a train in the Black Rock Desert. My roommate and best friend, Derek was the most skilled and caring human I've ever met. He loved to create, sustain life for both plants and animals. He the best adventure partner in the world, and he was the one who got me started making my own comics, which I now pursue as a passion. The Black Rock was his favorite place and I'm glad to say the last time I saw him, he was as happy as a person can be. 

I shall spend the rest of my life striving to be worthy of  his freindship.

BABYMEN TAKE BELIZE!

Hopefully, if I don't get too drunk tonight, I will finish the rough of this zine. Even if I do get too loaded, it's about time to premier it. The cover of my latest work, a travelogue of my trip to Philadelphia and Belize. It will be the first printing I've ever put together digitally,  a process which I will never do again with this computer. Such a pain! I actually thought it would be simpler then doing the work by hand. Next time it's typewriter and glue all the way!

Regardless of the problems with process, I think this will be a very solid book, probably my largest solo printing (besides SPERBLE).
UPDATE: I got too drunk and didn't finish.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I've given out all my copies of this zine, so I feel like it's time to post some of the art from it.
