I think she does this to try and get the gas out. Or maybe out of boredom. Or maybe she's just messing with her Daddy's head.

Parental Befuddlement

Clearly the baby is now the brains of the operation.

Defective Daddy

The top part is a conversation Ceci and I had this morning. That's a pretty accurate representation of how I looked at work today - hunched over, exhausted, barely staying upright.

The text underneath it is from a discussion Sean and I were having about whether any worthy albums have been released this year thus far. I'm notoriously picky about Best Of lists - it's not unusual for my Best of the Year lists to only have one or two titles on it. I won't rehash the whole discussion - the basic gist was that I don't feel there's been an album released this year which will still be listened to this time next year, let alone ten, twenty, thirty years from now. It seems like everything is disposable these days. In a fit of crabbiness I declared "Nothing is essential anymore!" and liked the sound of it so much I added it here. There's a simple truth in that.

Sahara Reggae Zen

2009-05-28T19:07:00.003-04:00

With newborn baby amnesia rampant around the house, I've taken to carting around a pocket sized moleskine to jot down notes before I forget things I need to do. I've also snuck a few sketches in there, which you can see above. You can also see my notes on reggae - it's a genre I know very little about but the baby loves it so I'm educating myself! I consider it a perk of fatherhood.

The Sahara drawing was my attempt at Matthew McConaughey, which came out so-so at best. I do like the Zen Sweep drawing though - Zen monks will sweep as a meditation technique. I find it fascinating that practically every mundane activity can turn into an opportunity for spiritual growth if you just stay mindful of what you do.

Why I'm Gone And Other Fascinating Tales

2009-05-19T08:32:00.003-04:00

Sorry for the unexplained absence, and thanks to everyone for checking in to make sure I'm fine. I'm doing great and hope to get some stuff online soon. The delay? Well, here's the reason.

Feb 13th Recap

2009-02-13T23:34:00.003-05:00

Well, the 13th managed to live up to it's hard luck reputation for me.

Larger version here!

Bonus sketches from the Moleskine!

Feb 9th Recap

No words - too tired to type.

Here's what I sketched during lunch:

I would have loved to work on it more, but these days I'll take what I can get.

We Rock Sideways

2009-02-07T23:27:00.003-05:00

A page from the moleskine. The shirt is in honor of me mate Sean, who's celebrating his birthday today (and I'm getting this in just under the wire EST).

Hourly Comic Day

Yesterday was Hourly Comic Day, so I figured I'd take a shot at it:

Well, since Mike linked to me, I suppose I'll have to do a new post. And me without any fresh new material! Such is life ...

A page from the sketch moleskine:

A Post!

2009-01-12T19:14:00.001-05:00

I suppose you guys would appreciate it if I'd get off my lazy duff and actually do a post around here, huh?

Okay guys, I'm offline a few days for the holiday - keep an eye on things while I'm gone!

WntrSktchBook2008 Begins!

Time to start a brand new sketch book! Here's page 1, filled with falling asleep doodles

More playing with the brush pen

Brush Pen Girl

2008-11-20T20:18:00.002-05:00

So after watching my friend Mike do his magic with one, I went out today and got a brush pen. It's cool and sexy and really hard to use. Here's my first attempt, which is sorta like those Find 5 Things In This Picture where the things are mistakes:

TBCC November 2008

2008-11-16T16:36:00.003-05:00

Last night was the monthly get together for the Tampa Bay Cartoonist Collective. Here's a couple of my sketches from the night (hey - look! There's a guy in there! I don't know what came over me - I promise it won't happen again):

Life Drawing

2008-11-12T23:27:00.003-05:00

Mike and I took in another night of life drawing. Here are the results in no particular order:

Retro High School Sketch

2008-11-05T22:15:00.002-05:00

I love drawing on lined notebook paper and notepads - it reminds me of school when I'd sketch in the margins while taking notes. In retrospect, I should have spent more time sketching and less time take notes - that A on my Red Badge Of Courage paper isn't doing me diddly squat good now. Alas ...

Political Coverage Commercial Break!

2008-11-03T19:47:00.001-05:00

Taking advantage of an MSNBC commercial break for a quick post! Don't know how I'm going to find time to do anything that's not sitting on the couch watching the results for the next 36 hours.

Life Drawing

2008-10-30T22:58:00.002-04:00

My friend Mike got me out of the house and back to life drawing for the first time in a long, long time. Still shaking the rust off but overall not too displeased with the night's work. Favorite is first - rest in no particular order:

Aeroplane

2008-10-23T20:51:00.000-04:00

No story or point to this one - just messing around!

Two Pages From The Moleskine

2008-10-12T17:40:00.002-04:00

I recently found an old moleskine I had stuffed in a drawer some unknown time ago. Since it still had some blank pages in it, I placed it by my bed for any late night sketching that might take place. I was watching the Dallas Stars lose their second game in a row last night when I decided it might be a better use of my time to doodle some. Here it is:

Citroen GT

Well I didn't get around to updating the blog design this weekend like I hoped, but I did manage some album reviews and a downloadable mix over at RockSellout so why not click over there and check 'em out.

Hayley Goes Disney

2008-10-04T13:18:00.001-04:00

So I woke up this morning and found Hayley waiting for me. I think she wanted to go to Disney World - it was a little hard to hear her over the shirt.
