the 50-lanyard line is all that kept back the iphone crowds

Not sure why this premise never occurred to me before! I wonder how accurate it is.

If you're free this Friday night, come on out to Royal/T for the Poketo Karaoke Dance Party: July 10th, Friday 8 PM - 1 AM. I was invited to be a judge, so though you won't be hearing me sing, I'll be there doing my best Paula Abdul impersonation judging the crooning.

At Royal/T: 8910 Washington Blvd. Culver City, CA 90232
Free, RSVP at rsvp(at)poketo(dot)com

I recently went on a 72-hour silkscreening bender with Jordan Crane. The four new 6-color prints above are the end result. All of them are available now on my website, and I'll also have them at Comic-Con (where my new 120-page book PRISON PIT will be debuting). See you there...

Well, in three weeks I've got to move from Toronto to Halifax, and I need to get a moving company! I hope I haven't left this too late.

I thought about driving, but was looking up uhaul reviews this morning and I had completely forgotten they were absolutely terrifying and it is something like renting a flaming death conduit, which I am keen to avoid. Has anyone had a very good experience with a moving company in Canada? Do tell!

I will probably do something special to cover the move, like commissions, which I never do. Sound good?

A massive Computer Arts Projects cover collaboration for an issue on character design that is due out in stores in the coming weeks. Besides us the list of contributing artists includes Peskimo, Mark Verhaagen, Tado, Niark 1, Mijn Schatje, Jon Burgerman, 123 Klan, Triclops studio, Jeremyville, Lunartik, Alexis West, Loworks, Sourbones, Skaffs, Aaron Miller, Eboy, Superdeux, Misu2020, Motomochi, Meomi, 64 Colors, Supakitch, and Gavin Strange.

We don't really think of ourselves as character designers in any sense, but it was still nice to be chosen and i had fun messing about in Illustrator again after so many years away from the program. I was also feeling pretty moody at the time, which i think really guided the design for this guy. I call my character "Emptyheaded" for lack of a more clever name.

Caught the "tail" end of this little drama on the bike path today. Twilight may be a shitty book but it's a great time to watch animals!

Sometimes I start comics that are supposed to be a whole page, but are only a half page.

On a related note, I have so many David Bowie drawings now, so many Ziggys.

(store!)

I had fun drawing teens for that last comic, and was looking up dangerous teen fashions from the earlier part of the century. I think the Teddy Boys were my favorite.

Too bad I was a teen in the late 90s/early 00's and there was absolutely nothing remarkable about that time! Except regrets and frosted tips (same thing).

Hope you're not gone for the weekend yet! I have something silly to show you once the DNS settles.
