did you order a solution?

So i haven't really been drawing comics lately. i've been getting some ideas and crap, but nothing good enough to make anything i wanna spend massive amounts of time/money on.

In Art class for my culminating activity, i've decided to make a comic book (surprise) but the only problem is i don't have any ideas for something that could easily fall into my capability zone, writing/drawing-wise. The only ideas i do have are either too vague, too broad or the plotlines just don't go anywhere. I'll think of something though.

I dunno if anybody's taken a closer look at the new Central Rugby t shirts, but that's my design on the front. it turned out better than i thought it would. i'm actually really happy. it looks goood.

If anyone can make it this weekened to toronto, the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon is being held at the National Trade Center, and some pretty sweet guests will be there, not to mention all the cool comic swag. Kean Soo, Becky Cloonan, Hope Larson & Bryan Lee O’Malley, Raina Telgemeier and Michael Cho will all be there, so go check'em out! Kean's table will be the one with the big Flight Vol. 3 poster, and will be promoting that book which is due out in june
unfortunately i cannot make it, cuz i gots no ride.

that's all for now i guess. i'll keep you updated on the progress of me trying to think of/draw the comic. and i promise i'll finish it tihs time... i have to if i want a good mark.....

This week a couple of honorable mentions need to be made.
Death Cab for Cutie released their "Directions" DVD, which contains a music video for each of their songs off of their newest album "Plans". Graphic novelist Jeffery Brown was one of talented individuals who got his images animated for the Your Heart is An Empty Room video on the DVD. I'm a huge fan of his work, but i gotta say, i'm not a fan at all of "Plans". not at all.

Also, the folk-ish band Calexico released their new CD this week which features awesome cover art from the amazing illustrator James Jean .

I think it's awesome when great music and great art team up to make an ultra-creation.

I hope someone asks me to design their CD cover one day...

cribbed to death

So i was watching MTV because there's a free preview for it on right now, and i have to say it is the stupidest channel on the face of the planet. It is called Music Television right? where is the music?? besides the crappy hip hop songs they play in the backgrounds of all their dumb shows, that are usually about rich, hollywood princes and princesses, with absolutely NO self-respect.
The worst show is "Super Sweet 16" or something like that. They follow some rich bitch around while she plans her sixteenth birthday using daddy's credit card. I would write about all the things i hate about it but that would be A LOT of writing. If you ever get a chance to watch it, you'll know exactly why i loathe it.
