Composer comic

I drew a comic based on text by composer Jacob Feinberg for his blog: “Comics, Paul McCartney, guilty pleasures, and the hunt for facility“.

3-part comics groove

I’ve realized that to keep a consistent comics-making groove I need to always have one comic to draw, another to write/lay out, and a third to research. I should be able to do that soon, since I recently finished the thumbnails for “Summer in Headville” and started drawing it, have picked out a partially-written piece to finish, and need to research my submission for the next Trees & Hills anthology.

New Year’s cleaning

Either last year or the year before I spent New Year’s Eve cleaning & organizing, and (contrary to how it might sound) it was pretty great. Sort of like Spring Cleaning, but for the new year. I think I’m going to do it again this year; my space has been wobbling between “almost good” and “blithering mess,” so I’d like to give it a shove toward the good. I don’t normally do much for New Year’s because it doesn’t mean a lot to me and I’m not much of a party person (though I have enjoyed the couple First Night things I’ve attended).

Whatever you do, I hope you have fun!

This post’s song.

Contact Congress TODAY to save the Internet (again)

If you didn’t click through the popup to write to Congress when you came here, I encourage you to read about the issue and write to Congress about it TODAY (2nd link includes a video that auto-starts). Giant corporations have enough power in and out of copyright as it is; they don’t need to be able to break the internet and stifle free speech willy-nilly.

24-hour comics and…music?

I wrote a guest post about 24-hour comics for my friend Jacob Feinberg at Resources For New Music (he’s been trying time-constrained exercises in composition).

Halloween

Halloween was quiet but good. I gave out 30 comics to trick-or-treaters. Some of the kids asked, “What’s this?”. When I told the last one, “Comics,” she said, “Nice!
