SLS_LGFUAD

Bathe with your TV, it's Sick Little Suicide #20, "LGFUAD" in which I talk about what's been on my mind lately and hope it isn't taken too seriously. It's like something you can't wait for, yet could just as easily do without!

Easter Eggs: Headlines and mini bios for Lil' Conan and Zero. Not so much ego-maniacal as it is just goofing around with Manny, Mo, and Jack from the "first" Sick Little Suicide [/inside joke]. Costumes inspired by the wonderful Sartorialist.

Fun Facts: We're officially back from hiatus and to commemorate this mo-mental occasion, I've done my first real digital inking effort. Pretty relaxing even though I hate inking...

Baa: This comic goes out to Puerto Rico, Georgia, and Connecticut.

All right, here we go!

Been feeling like there's glass grinding in my stomach for the past couple of days, and like there's a loaf of suffocating cotton stuffed in the back of my neck, and like my skull's in a vice, and like my ears have been permanently plugged.

Relentless, this state I'm in.

But as far as I can tell, I don't have a cold or anything...just extreme soreness in my neck and a bad headache that won't go away.

I guess it's just been one of those days...all in a row.

Maybe it's my lousy work station set up plus the weird hours I work...Better take it easy next week.

But hey, ZLM writer's meeting tomorrow.

Aren't we excitement?

Yeah.

Can't wait to get back in there.

I'm on the Internet
looking up cures
for extreme doofusness.
No luck yet,
but don't lose hope, Ben.
--Gwen, Ben10

You never seem
to run out
of things
to say.

I met Alex Soto
this past Comic-Con
and we were talking
and I totally forgot
to ask him
for a job.

Dang.

What if
I can't
forget you?

Sometimes I miss Yale so much
I want to throw up.

I feel like a ghost
with unfinished business.

What's so good
about picking up
the pieces
?

You'll be excited
just to see me
some day.

Are you out there?

He was just Danny.

Testing out my new sketch pad...kinda don't like it...
Testing out our ancient printer's scan function...kinda don't like it...

The paper's so rough, it's hard to shade, erase, and sketch comfortably. And the scanner is so randomly uncooperative. So weird to work traditionally now...kept wanting to just click undo, but now ctrl+Z takes forever cuz it's a bunch of little erasing gestures...so bizarre that crazy paper and pencil idea is to me now.

I need a jabba. Fingers crossed. For now, commissions will have to do.

You too can have a drawing, just a$k.

Speaking of animals, here's another Work In Progress from my mysterious little series of fan arts.

I sorta exist nocturnally now. I hate (and am horrible at) going to bed, so I only go to bed when I know I am exhausted enough to collapse after a couple chapters. So while I was drawing the other night, a skittering shadow hopped near my leg outta nowhere. It was like 4am, so I thought the tiny specter in my peripheral vision was some kind of baby rat. Turns out it was a random little frog that got in the house and made his way to me somehow. Freaked me out.

They ever morph frogs? No...right?

For a detour from the regular work (so close to completing it...), I finished the shading job on my very first digital drawing.

And with that, it's time to party the only way I know how.

Pursuits in creativity.

Or emails.

Fun_Let'sDoIt_WIP

Today's art is based on a property near and dear to my heart, but more on all that later, as this is a work in progress while I finish up a commission I dare say has been my most challenging piece yet. Yale related, to boot. Least I'm gettin' paid, son. Oh wait...

So I never wanted to leave Yale, but my subconscious keeps jabbing me with memories (real or imagined) of the good old days. And then today, I finally got the dreaded bump from "student" to "alumni" classification here. Which reminds me, I likewise have to tweak this site, too...

I guess on the bright side, I'm now listed right next to my old boss and they updated the student section to include one of my old colleagues. Now if they could just do something about out-dated sites clogging up the directory, or at least have some sort of search enabled.

Runteldat,

Woke Saturday with my left arm randomly cramped up in agony. I'm right handed, but I use my left to stay balanced while drawing (I often even rest my head on my left hand to get extra steady).

Woke Sunday with the right side of my body aching. Maybe it's from prolonged drawing on the dining table in a dining chair (I don't have a proper desk or chair).

Well, despite the delays on commissions, we should be back to the beat now-ish. In the meantime, here's pastel coloring practice, with no smudge tool. Gonna try cel shades again. Pretty excited. The lines turned out pretty neat...
