Some pages from my mini are up on Flickr. I’m working on some other projects right now (I swear!), but they’re currently on deep background. My main act for today, though, was surviving that earthquake. Mission accomplished.
The San Francisco Zine Fest is this coming Saturday and Sunday! Self-publishing, Vanessa Davis, screenprinting, nature stuff, kickball, etcetera! Woooo zine fest!
So while you may think I am lazy for not updating this blog, it is only because I am frantically-ish putting first/final touches on the comic for which this image is a tentative cover.
(I say tentative but at this rate, I will probably not have time to obsessively draw three more near-identical versions. Which is probably for the best, as the circulation in my right arm is severely lacking.)
If you see this girl at the County Fair Building, ask her nicely for one and she will probably give it to you.
Otherwise I’ll probably put it all online at some point.
I had been threatening it for a while, but now the moment (er, scanner) has arrived.
Well, it arrived a couple weeks ago, actually, but I digress.
This means more of my dumb drawings will be languishing on Flickr now instead of just in tattered sketchbooks on shelves; which means you can see them without even stepping foot in the Tenderloin, which I think is a pretty good deal.
This one is Bordeaux, a non-nugget who lives at Farm Sanctuary and who has more of an omniscient expression than I have properly captured here.
Hunt 512 with Black Star Hicarb and Winsor & Newton watercolors on some fancy cold-pressed block.
That is all.
The Animation Show #4 is coming! (It’ll hit the Bay Area this Friday, at the Lumiere in San Francisco, and the Shattuck Cinemas in Berkeley).
I remember seeing the very first Animation Show debut in Campbell Hall (in 2003? that era is a bit hazy). Don H. and the other UCSB alums who did his voiceovers gave a great intro and took questions afterwards. (I still have my Animation Show T-shirt from that year’s Comic-Con!)
It was happier times, I guess — ’cause now Don Hertzfeldt isn’t associated with the show he co-founded, like, at all. From his Bitter Films blog, in March:
last week i decided it was time for me to part ways with the animation show. it’s been five years and three tours and some good memories. they have a new tour rolling through theaters this summer and i don’t know what will be in it but i encourage you to go check it out
The show is now entirely curated by Mike Judge. And, uh, you know how I feel about that dude.
Mostly I’m just annoyed that I’ll have to pay two (2!!) admission fees to see both AS#4 and Hertzfeldt’s upcoming i am so proud of you, the follow-up to AS#3’s everything will be ok. Disappointing all around.
