Moving.

I'm moving on Sunday. I used to be a lot better at it. Staying stationary for more than 6 months tends to atrophy one's moving muscles.
Realizations in packing:
- Besides going to work, I pretty much never wear pants. My legwear has transformed almost exclusively into shorty shorts.
- All of my "nice clothes" are pinstriped, from high school, and unworn for years.
- It's nearly impossible to find a plain-colored, non-striped pair of socks.
- I've lived here for almost a year. Holy shit.

Blogs without pictures are boring.

Drew this at work like a thousand years ago, thought I blogged it last time.


Vintage rollerskating postcard.


Sock Rae Blue and I made this for our Railbird of the Month


These ladies at the bar just got these friendship tattoos. Way cooler than moustaches.


Someone attacked Tub's with killer tomatoes.


In progress shot of a painting of a unicorn vomiting glitter and shitting cupcakes.

I can upload photos again!

Here's everything artsy that's been going on for the past forever many months.



Found these two in the alley behind my building back in January. They were gone by the time I was home from work.


The University Bookstore was having a sale. Now I must use these ALL.


Beth's art: Orange Things That Make Me Happy


My derby sister Frankie Blackeye scored me this brand new box of prismas. Holy shit.



We had an art show as a fundraiser for Tilted Thunder
and Henry and Xavier dropped these off like an hour before. I pretty much shit my pants.


Also from our art show: my peace, love and/or roller derby next to Mikk's cover for our derby comic.


And speaking of TTRB.. we had our first bout! I drew this as a request from Floodlust.


Emerald City Comic Con was the same weekend of the bout, so I dragged my hungover-ass downtown for the last 2 hours of the show and met Mojo Jojo, Jhonen Vasquez, Meredith Gran, Rstevens, Jeff Rowland, and a whole bunch of other amazing artists. It was surreal.


I got Jeph Jacques to draw Tai for me, since we share some all of the same bad habits.


Henry and Xavier visited my neighborhood! Some of these are still up.

Other noteworthy graffiti in the University District..






This one was downtown.

Some stuff I've been working on:

A comic about one of the times I lost my wallet.

I really have no idea what to do with this. I was going to use it as a background for a painting, but I can't think of anything to put over it. It's so busy as it is.


A really lame ninja stencil that's invaded my neighborhood inspired this. I want to go throw this up somewhere near the Mercury.

And finally, some cool rummage sale finds:

Inspirational Derby Nonsense

This is actually pretty old, but blog negligence is my kinda deal. I joined roller derby and within the first month ended up drawing this comic as an entry into a "Win hella money for your organization!" contest. We didn't win, but I'm pretty proud to have drawn this beast in 5 days.

Scripted by Piston Vinegar, cleaned up by River Slam, and brainstormed up by a whole bunch of ladies.

Yeah, it's cheesy, but that's okay.











And here's our official entry:


Looking at this now makes me REALLY want to draw a decent derby comic since I was totally clueless about skating at the time. Now I can at least make sure I'm drawing the wheels in the right direction..

Diiiiiscipline

Being out of school's really thrown a monkey wrench into my productive output. My horoscope said I should focus on getting creative shit done, so I'm trying to draw something decent every day.

I feel like a d-bag for drawing myself all the time, but myself happens to be a very easily obtainable model.





I look like a monster. That's okay I guess.

Some sketches

Cleaning out old notebooks and sketchbooks before I move. These are from the last fall, spring, and summer.
