Hey, gang: This weekend I completed another of my long-standing projects, which is moving my online portfolio back here to my own site where it’ll be easier for me to keep it updated! I still have to add a lot of my more recent work (the stuff that isn’t currently under NDA, at least), but it’s a good showcase of some of my favorite cartooning, toy, and logo work from years past. But yeah! Check it out! And feel free to share it with friends:
After a month or two of being listed as ‘out of stock’ on my Etsy store, I found another batch of my minicomic tribute to They Might Be Giants‘s sophomore album Lincoln! I ran out of my regular stock of these, but this week I found another batch from the same print run that just hadn’t been assembled yet.
The tribute features artwork inspired by each song on the album, a short essay about why I this album is so important to me, and a bonus 4-page mini for the b-sides from the They’ll Need a Crane ep, the only single released from this album, and includes a TMBG 1-inch button for your best lapel. This is the last of this run of the tribute minicomic, now available for $6 apiece, while supplies last.
Hey, gang – I’ve recently had to face the hard fact that it’s a good time to retire my StarSpeed tabletop game project. It was a fun idea that I put a lot of work into developing – a tabletop racing game that functioned similarly to the popular ‘kart’ style racing video games like Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, etc. But the fact is, I haven’t put in the time needed to get it really working right, and now another well-backed company is putting out a game so similar that I would rather just play that one instead.

Now, I’ve been a Mac user for as long as I’ve been around computers, cutting my graphic design teeth on a Macintosh SE in my high school‘s Design & Print lab and the Newspaper office. I designed (and printed) flyers for the drama club’s productions in Ready, Set, Go!, made some screen-printed apparel in Aldus Freehand, and drew my first digital mini-comic in MacPaint, printed out on an ImageWriter. I even had a few SimCities saved to floppy disks along with my Midi compositions. These specific Mac All-in-Ones have a particular nostalgia for me, and I know how useful they can be.

Hey, gang! Happy to report a little bit more progress on the bus this week. A lot of it has been about reclaiming some good building materials from some old constructions I’ve had sitting around in my yard for a couple years now, but the big good news is I got another great score from my favorite sourcing website, Free Craigslist: Some really decent kitchen cabinets!
