new comic begins....

A Great Man

I sang at my grandfather's funeral today. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. He was such a wonderful man. He loved his family and inspired us all. He's the reason I know Jesus. I miss him already....

Real conversation?

Oy Vey...

Simple Treasures

This weekend I found the biggest sea shell ever! and you would have thought I won the lottery!! I was running down the cold, cold beach with a giant sea shell screaming "Wahoo"!! It was fun. We played our music Friday night, saw a ton of kids get saved and a few re-dedicate their lives to Christ. They had a smoke machine (which was cool but it made me choke a little) and we played some pool at the beach house and ate some good food prepared by chef Dave.....here's a mental snapshot of me (Captain Simple) and my boy (Undercover Ninja)...

Concert

Got a concert tonight! I'll update again Sunday night/Monday morning. I have a few more "icons" planned and then it's back to posting some new comical strips. May share some sketches from this weekend? Hey guess what?? I'm out of Nippy Wallaboosh number 2!?! When did that happen?

More Rock...

I'm having a hard time switching gears this week. We have another show coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm really excited about it! We need more buttons and stickers and we're talking 'bout making a demo....we'll see. So much to do - things have been really quiet on the "More Than Sparrows" front. I'd like to color it and put it online but I don't want to do too soon in case there's still a chance to sell some copies....I still have a few left :)

Good Day

SuperNoah!!!

Just trying to imagine what the CD cover for this single might look like....tee-hee...I'

m going to try and put together some new mini-comics for the next show. I haven't made mini-comics in a long time.

Fun Rock!!

Man, did we ever ROCK friday night!! Fun, fun fun!! I can't wait to share some pics with you!! And we should have some video soon over at WhoShotGoliath(Dot)com. This is not a scene from TIHWM, this is just another cool sword cartoon for my little boy....

Who Shot Goliath?

Here's another pic from TIHWM and it's appropriate because I am singing with my band tonight! We're playing at my old high school....and I've already had diarrhea....oh and I got new boots...not in that order.

New, new page

This Is How We Met.....

Two New Scenes

from "This Is How We Met"....it's coming along swimmingly. I'm going to experiment with some sort of....well I suppose a hybrid of children's book/graphic novel with illustrations, sequential art and prose! The story will revolve around a conversation.....

All About Kids

Mom, Who is Dennis the Menace and why does he look like a saint compared to me?

Painting

...the dining room today....looks good. Took longer than I thought but hey...oh here's the uber slow colored page from the forthcoming "This Is How We Met"...

Road Trips!!

Spent a lot of time on the road this week and working on something really cool! But I can't share yet...

tribute

Inspired

by the blog of another cartoonist...

Some Other Knight

My son got some really cool knights and a big castle for Christmas. I've been sketching knights ever since. Not an uber original concept here, but I have some ideas about a bumbling knight and an elusive dragon-chameleon thing. Anyhoo -

What are they?

I'm tired....

...what should I call this guy?

Gasp!

Treasure Hunter!!

It's been a full weekend. Tooling around the ole flea markets this weekend with the fam and stumbled across some great "treasures". I found an old Charles Addams (I'm reading his biography now) cartoon book called Creature Comforts (it reprints his famous New Yorker cartoons) and a children's book by cartoonist Jack Kent "King Aroo" - this guy is my new favorite. There's not a whole lot of info on-line about him but I love his little line drawerings. He was apparently pretty young when he died...65 years old. Anyhoo - I'm working on a few things...here's a little viking...

See! New redrawn page from "This Is How We Met"

What the!?!

Today someone asked me what was going on with the strip...I think most of you probably already know this, but I'm not updating the strip everyday anymore. I stopped for a couple of reasons. When I started this little project, the goal was to get 20-24 strips ready to try and send off to the major syndicates (something I've never tried before) and I soon found out that I had a ton of material! I was getting some great feedback from co-workers and other cartoonists I respect and to date I now have 62 strips and I stuck with it (without missing a day) for nearly 2 and half months!! I would like to collect these comics at a later date, perhaps in color? But the main reason it's slowed down is because I wanted to get back to work on "This Is How We Met". I want to devote more time to it and get it right. That doesn't mean I won't be sharing pages or posting rare doodles everyday or every other day....it just means I don't have the whole "I have to do it" mindset...but I tell ya what...it sure is harder than it looks....how in the world Charles Schulz did it every single day for 50 years is beyond me....but it takes time to build a "character" I guess?...you know, one that's worthwhile :)

and yes...I will show you what Tony's running from....

Ooga Booga!!

Guess Who's Back?
