Nasal Spelunking

I had to bribe Nate to let me post this cartoon. He's a good sport and it only cost me 5 bucks.

A Heinous Crime

To Kill An Appetite

Who's Whose Minion?

Down the Hatch

Sorry for the awful puns. I tried to avoid them, but then gave in. Please don't hold it against me and I'll try to do better in the future.

Pleading His Case

Lunch at the Co-op with Ms. Z

Just a little diversion from the egg story today... I do have an "ending" that I will post soon, but for today a little comic with a cameo appearance by my good friend Carol who took us to lunch the other day. She is a crazy good singer/musician. We took our food up to the park overlooking the river and she played guitar and sang her songs for us. It was rather romantic.

Minion Massacre

Who knew there are cartoonists in Minnesota???

Whoa Baby!!!! Something cool is happening in Minneapolis!!! Hoping to go, so I'll let you know how it is!

An exhibit by Minnesota Cartoonists and lots of mini comics and stuff for sale!

A couple of ATC's going out with my new mini comic

Here's a couple of ATC's I worked on today to go in my mini comics package, which is going out tomorrow... my apologies to all who are receiving one! I've been working hard to get everything ready but life always gets in the way. Anywho, they're going out tomorrow, finally.

I'm loving the steampunk stuff (the first two ATC's), they're so vintage, whimsical, mechanical, old timey, rusty, just downright cool. I don't know much about the movement (if there is one), it's just way fun to draw.

P.S. all of these were colored with the Copic markers... the first guitar one really got a nice water color look to it. On the backgrounds of the first two I colored first with a white colored pencil and then over the top with the Copic marker... it has a nice "distressed" look to it.

I'm working on the next comic right now, so it'll be up soon!

Thanks for visiting!!! Love you guys!

Eggistential Recruitment

HEY! Hope you're having a good weekend!

I'm spending today drawing and watching Season 1 LOST with my daughter. 

Best Season, Best T.V. Show Ever! I still can't watch it without crying... I'm not a dork, it's just that good.

By the way, anybody wanna take a stab at what "Eggistential Recruitment" means?

Bonus Sketch! Two Geeks on a Walk

A little sketch from my sketch book. I've been gone all day so I haven't had a moment to draw anything until now! Enjoy and please excuse all the messiness.

Good night, all! (or good morning wherever you are!)

Eggsactly

For the Mindzai Uninitiated: Lamp is my nemesis. He represents the little voice inside my head that tries to sabotage everything I do. I like to fantasize little scenarios where I get the better of him... Think of these "Lamp Comics" as my public psycho-therapy. Enjoy and thank God you're not as neurotic as me!

What's For Breakfast

Hurry! It's Allen Duffy Mail!!! (and more!)

Wow!!!

I am amazed at the talented web comic community I have been privileged to become a part of in the last 7 months or so! So many great artists and creative minds that share their work and lives with each other and the world. It's unusually wonderful that this community even exists. I hope you all know how much you have enriched my life in just this short time.

I want to pay tribute to some of my web comic friends who have been kind enough to share their original art and zines with me of late, so the rest of this post will be dedicated to those awesome artists who have sent me goodies in the mail!

Allen Duffy of Allen Duffy Comics and Tickled Pink Comics 

Included in my Allen Duffy Treasures: awesome trading card running men, hairy (and a couple of naked ones), just like I like them! An original Tickled Pink comic!!! Business cards, and some amazing decorations on the envelopes and such!

I was so inspired, I sketched out my own version of Allen's Classic Running Man:

The Classic Running Woman

(that's me, by the way!)

Kurt of Other People Exist who liked the LOST Artist Trading Cards I had made and made me some awesome LOST trading cards of his own! 

Very cool LOST inanimate objects, Kate's handcuffs, Niki and Paulo's diamond bag, Eko's Jesus stick, and Sawyer's letter. Loved these!!!!

MC and Jen's awesome comics:

ButterSword

A game zine/game board with pieces (I'm not a gamer, but I thought it looked sooo cool I wanted one of my own). 

Two Zines and some original art!!! These two have a fun blog where they post comics (about getting attacked by geese and a rad rock band with a crazy singer in go-go boots) and also blog notes about their escapades at home gardening, building stuff and fixing bad cuts with super glue.

And last but soooooo not least

Mr. Sam Spina of Spinadoodles comics

Decorated envelope, stickers, business cards, and the Spinadoodles Digest... the first year of comics! Wow! Sam outdid himself on this comic. It's so well put together, so funny, full of surprises!  (That's my son, Nate and my daughter, Rosie in the pics below)

Check these artists out if you haven't already!

Thanks you guys!!!

More Annoying Things My Brother Did When We Were Kids

Hmmmm, there seems to be a theme in this one...

Annoying Things My Brother Did When We Were Kids

Just for fun, here's a comic I did  when I was first starting to draw comics... maybe a year ago or so. My brother still likes to do some of these things. I won't say which ones.

Taking Our Time (featuring K.C. the DOG)

I'm loving having a dog in the house! It somehow forces you to lay back and take some time to, well, you know, smell the flowers. (or pee on them in K.C.'s case) Really relaxing!

Also, I spent a ton of time making and illustrating a book for a friend of mine. I scanned the entire book, but didn't have time to save them. You know what's coming right? So when I came back to save them, photoshop crashed and I lost everything...I know... wah, get over it. I think my friend can scan it for me (she lives in Amsterdam!) so maybe all will not be lost. In the meantime I have some photos and will try to post soon.

To top it off something ate my new hydrangea bush in my yard.
