I’m gonna be selling all the stuff I do. I set up a storefront site over at http://dudesburroughpress.bigcartel.com/.
Not much atm but it will include prints, comics and the like, hopefully shirts patches and pins eventually.
Right now you can buy a picture of a monkey on commission. NO TWO MONKEYS THE SAME! BUY ONE, BUY TWO! THE MAKE GREAT GIFTS!
i am so poor.
I finished photography for the rest of my portfolio! That will be updated soon. I am also making some images for my cousin Bethany’s very interesting blog called the graph paper diaries. I made some doom-y greeting cards with my comrade in arms Britton.
I have a number of other things in the works including cool ass art prints, new Deth Bunny pages, and an anthology comic of horror fairy tales called The Black Apple. Also: BANANANA GANG.
Remember when I used to post stuff? Yeah, neither do I. I had a decent run and then spent and an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out how to make this everything I wanted it to be. I wanted a portfolio, sketch, blog, and comics site. Well, I am coming really close to three of those, But I can’t figure out how to make the comics work. It’s bumming me out because that was the idea for this site to begin with. Slowly but surely I am populating the portfolio section, but I wish I could make everything work. Ultimately I may have comics live somewhere else, just out of necessity. Just do art and design and some blog crap here. I wish I had the time, and patience, and, well, the computer to learn the web stuff. But I don’t.
at least it looks nice.
Next up: profile pic from this decade!
I just finished a poster class at risd. one of the three final classes i need in order to have all the credits for my certificate. Taking a letterpress class right now and then one more. Maybe a professional Identity?
Went through piles of work and found a stash of about 16-20 unfinished comic pages and a bunch of other stuff. Planning some new design for the site in the about and landing page, as well as some new navigation. Stayed up late and finished a couple of pages last night over the course of the next few weeks will update all the comic pages. This should make it so that I have a decent preamble for a couple of stories. Started putting school work up on behance/risd site. Photographing some actual professional work to put up. I might also be teaching a class about zombies to kids in the spring!
Been reading a lot of Usagi Yojimbo. It’s like a master class in making good comics. Pretty much every aspect of that book is well thought out and masterfully executed. The amount of research is staggering and meticulous. The artwork, while it started very solid, becomes more lyrical as the series progresses. Stan Sakai has an very intuitive grasp of what to show and what not to, reading flow, composition, and line. He has also won Eisners for his lettering.
Off to work. Will post some pics tonight.
you hear someone run up a flight of stairs. suddenly they burst into the room you are in.
Who are they? What is your reaction?
Water Rats are neither aquatic nor rats but a species of subcutaneous parasitic centipede that is the mascot for the Water Rats 1% motor cycle club. They give their host a gaunt, sallow appearance while increasing adrenaline and endorphins and suppressing empathic responses, making the host incredibly strong and sociopathic. They thrive on a diet heavy in sugar, alcohol, and pharmaceuticals. They can grow to a length of three feet and create ridges underneath the skin that the Water Rats MC members decorate with piercings and tattoos.

John O’Leary Johnny THUNDERS. there can never be too many pictures of Thunders.
The cops cordoned off the area,the lobby of the building was covered in blood and body parts. We hid in the bushes and watched them try to tame the poor ent that went crazy and tore though downtown. They didn’t know what it was that was happening, but two of us had already begun changing to light. It was the end of the word and the world. We rode that giant tree spirit to to edge or the world and knowing, the we joined our ancestors in the sky.
I waited on the platform and could see it in the sky a few clicks away.
The commuter barges were never on time. The main cars always smelled like cabbage and the toilet was always out of order. The tier 2 and 1 seats however were super nice. She had reserved a private suite somewhere on tier 1. She was recently divorced and looked like she stepped out of Disintegration. I hadnt seem her in close to 20 years. A little sadder, a little older, she still smelled like roses.
When i got into publishing the last thing I expected to do was learn a new alphabet that would give me a nose bleed and kill my cat. I suppose if you have to sign your contract in blood they mean something different when they say “We publish dangerous books.”
Hi there invisible readers who do not exist. Long time no see.
I just finished up my final studio for my Graphic Design certificate at RISD! What does that mean? Your guess is a as good as mine. I hope i get a better job. or turn my personal stuff into a job.
Actually it means a couple of things:
I’m completely overhauling my portfolio section to reflect the things I did in the program. I also want to add some more drawings and stuff.
I will be updating my bio section with my resume and professional ID. I think some newer pictures of my ugly mug will be in order as well.
I will be resuming updates on Deth Bunny. Dear god I just want to finish one issue.
I want to update this blog/artsite more regularly.
I am going to need to figure out a decent schedule and stick to it, not that any one reads this. Weekly will most likely be out of the question. Bi weekly? yeah that sounds good. Just curious, not serious.
So whaddya think: July 1st. I’ll have the new stuff up and then try to go from there. Yeah, I think that’s a good idea too.
I have seen the end. It’s all cats.
When you first girlfriend ever suddenly shows up on your door step and asks you to help her hide from the cops, among the first questions you should ask her is why she has a suitcase full of vampire teeth.

DROWN THIS USELESS AGE IN BLOOD SNOW!
wow, I checked the last time I updated this thing and It was right before I started class last fall. That was the last time I had a minute to think about anything. Since then i finished a hellish class, got 17 combined hours of sleep, moved, missed the holidays, got bit by a cat, and registered for new classes. All I want to do is spend a month making comics, or drawings, or whatever. That should happen around july. cest la munki.
