I made a holiday card to express the religious/secular tension that is ankle deep here in the Midwest this time of year. It was indirectly my friend Chris's idea. There is also a hi-res version (for printing). Enjoy! |

In all the posting schoolwork hubbub, I forgot about Comic Face for this month. |

I get really freaked out about some of those drawings! If I drew that Crazy Fish or that Crazy Snake in my sketchbook today I would post them on the internet.
I might upload the whole episode, there's a bit with me pretending to be a bee, and a really cool Paddington Bear short. Also there's more of that red headed girl acting CRAZY. |

Every time I attend a media conference I learn that there's already a glut of everything I want to contribute to the world and at least 10% of the surplus is better than anything I could do anyway.
Here's a website I like: http://www.newsbobber.com/ I guess MPR just bought it + its creator.
EDIT: Never mind. Someone's going to say something stupid about that and then I'll have to hate them. |

Dear readers,
I am sorry to have neglected my internet duties for so long. This comic is about how I have been suffering from writer's block for the last few months, which finally broke this weekend and I got a good handful of strips drawn, and did some work on longer projects that have been stalled. I hope to increase my posting frequency, so let's consider this the beginning of a renewed dedication to blogging!
Yours truly,
Lizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz |

I mean really isn’t watch TV also technically “natural.” I mean it’s not made from space parts.
Hey dudes, I started a new blog that focuses solely on my print comics.
NEW STORE WITH REDUCED SHIPPING RATES!:

To be fair about my paralyzed reaction to this sort of contact, I had no idea how to deal with boys, despite being about 13 and having almost only male friends. Up until that year (when Gareth noticed I was female), I was...um... I had a singular style, and never had to think about boys beyond how much I enjoyed hanging out with them and playing Ren and Stimpy on Sega Genesis.
In order to draw this comic, I did a little research into bottle-base sidewalks. They were made to illuminate the basements below the city buildings, because NYC is so crammed that it's mostly built up and down. Turns out, there are a TON in downtown Manhattan, where I was a kid. They exist in other cities too, but they aren't that common, anymore. What's really sad is that a lot of them are wearing away-- the prisms busting out and breaking. But look: aren't they fascinatingly beautiful? |

Hey dudes, not an art post, but if you've known me in person for any amount of time you probably know I never shut up about WFMU:
They came up $100,000 short of their fundraiser goal in March, and are holding a 24 hour marathon to help make up the difference from Tuesday Nov 17 to Wednesday Nov 18! You can tune into their live stream and years of show archives at http://www.wfmu.org , and also stream rock and soul programming 24/7 at http://wfmuichiban.blogspot.com/
I spend most of my day holed up in my room drawing and these shows have gotten me through countless hours of work. If you aren't a listener, I recommend going through the archives for Night People, The Best Show, Downtown Soulville, Seven Second Delay, Cherry Blossom Clinic, Dave the Spazz and Fool's Paradise!

My show at Rotofugi comes down after this weekend. There are still some great paintings left. Keep in mind, these are pages of an upcoming book, and if you purchase them now, you will be personally thanked in the book!
Some choice paintings:
These three and more are still available in store, or through Rotofugi's online store.
SIMILARLY-
My show with Grant Reynolds at Giant Robot SF is coming down on the 11th- so this is a good time to pick up one of those pieces! Might I suggest:
These and more available HERE! |

I have added my technological and biological distinctiveness to the hivemind, so feel free to follow me on the Twitter @ARobTwit, if you're into that sort of thing.
I confess I still do not understand all the ins and outs of the Twitter. All the shortcuts and codewords engineered to make old people feel dumb are doing their trick!

You and me, we all like livejournal. Lately it feels like it's running a little dry, I'm guessing it's because of twitter (@wolfhard)? Here are some of my favorite livejournals that are still posting like crazy*. (beatonna also makes lists like these. She would be listed bellow because she is the best at comics but I think everyone reading this already knows and follows her. If you don't then you are nutz.)
nedroidcomics Everyone probably already knows how funny and smart these comics are, but if you don't they are the total funniest. Anthony produces a rich feed.
davario Dave has the best line work and the most appealing drawings! Also he's doing a Brovember, drawing fellas all month long. Get on board!
royalboiler Brandon Graham posts a PILE of amazing things all of the time. His own work is amazing, his girlfriend's work is amazing, his friends' work is amazing. He produces a rich trove of content all of the time. What a great journal.
r_dart Rebecca Dart is possibly the most talented person I've ever met, she is out of control. You may have seen this comic featured recently on Drawn.ca, holy cow so good). I had the good fortune to work with her on a kids' cartoon last year, she is the definition of tops.
bougieman Robin Bougie is married to Rebecca Dart and his livejournal is NOT WORK SAFE, (but is wonderful). This journal is a wild collection of the filthiest drawings and kitten youtubes. You should be following this guy.
bottomlesspop Brian does the rad fantasy comic JobGoblin (linked by me many times in the past), but lately he has been doing these cool sprawling doodle pages. Really neat stuff!
jasonturner Jason Turner is like a god-damned poet!
teamdynamite I don't know who this guy is but this stuff knocks my socks off.
bugs_is_icky I have a big big crush on Britt's paintings. She's an amazing artist who does amazing (often filthy) work. She also has an amazing dad. Follow her now so when she gets big you can act smug!
There are so many people missing on this list! I'll do another one of these in the future.
*I'm going to post a new comic next week unless things go haywire. |
