In America you, if you want to live in something that doesn’t have people above or below you, but possibly next to you, you have to pay an exorbitant fee for the privilege to waste an obscene amount of water keeping grass green. Grass that you don’t even need. If you don’t keep your grass green or if you don’t pay your exorbitant fee each month(or year), you can be fined another exorbitant fee. Also, you might even have your house taken away from you. Which you paid for.

America is awesome.

So I scanned my checkbook register for you. The Exorbitant Fee is highlighted for you viewing pleasure. As is my thoughts on said fee.

I have made a comic for your perusal. I also tried to make a time lapse of me drawing it with my camera set to 3- and 5-second intervals, but the battery died before I finished the final panel. I don’t have premiere or access to it, so I’m going to try to export what I do have–about 1400 images–from iMovie on this old Mac and see what happens. As I see the images get imported to the computer, I can tell that you can barely see what is going on in the actual comic. Ugh. That means that the next time I do this I will have to find a better place to put the camera or change the lense. Or just zoom in. Dammit.

If you like that sort of thing, keep an eye on this site, and my youtube channel, because I will be posting it there(and then here, from youtube).

You will get to see me:

• Get confused!
• Try to figure out which paper I’m using
• Compare the size of old comics to the new one!
• Letter the comic!
• Drink some rum!

Anyway, here is the final result. I don’t want to spoil anything but the first panel for you.

If I’ve done everything correctly, a new comic should show up at the illustrated thesaurus site next Friday.

I just realized that the 30th is not Thursday. You have to wait til Friday now to see my amazingness. To tide you over, however, I have provided you a panel from the 3-panel glory that will be the comic “abominable.”

Searching through an old sketchbook and found this GEM. Around 2003 from what I can figure. I can only begin to imagine how astronomically proud everyone is of me.

I’m making artwork for an iPhone game coming out as soon as I finish the artwork for the iPhone game… It involves a stick-figure named Word Man. I guess he’s a super hero, but really I think it’s just a guy wearing a cape in his free time.

Anyway, here’s one of the images for it.
I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what’s going on.

Made a bunch of sketches of caricatures of myself last night. I think that was Wednesday night. Going back to work after 3 weeks off has been very confusing. I haven’t been able to get a quarter of the drawing done that I want.

ah, jesus, I just saw some kinda furry ad via the project wonderful stuff at the top of my page.
BARF.

You’ll wiz yourself!

I drew this harry potter guy without a shirt in three places today. Then I had to stay up and draw it in sketchbook pro. This is so much fun, it shouldn’t be allowed.

I’m having a sketchbook pro 2011 problem.

Either a) I don’t understand what I’m doing; or b) the program doesn’t behave the way I expect it to behave. Possibly c) all of the above.
Hitting ‘save’ after making a custom brush doesn’t seem to actually save the brush. It just closes the brush properties window. The same as if I clicked the X in the top right corner of the window. Is that all it does? I was hoping it would save my brush, so that if I messed with it later I couldreset it by clicking the reset button and go back to the settings I previously saved.

It does not behave that way. The image I’ve attached is screenshots of the actual brush properties window and the exact order I’ve been doing those steps in.

What am I doing wrong?

A wall. I painted a wall.

So I made another horrible comic. I want to tell you, but if I said anything, it would spoil it. In order to spoil it in a different way, please enjoy these amazing sketches! Because I am amazing! You know it, I know it, the monsters under my bed know it. That’s why they let me live. The first image shows the sketch to almost completion! Oh, no! How will you see the completed comic? By clicking on the LAST IMAGE. Or clicking earlier in the post on that horrible comic phrase because you are apparently completely impatient and can’t be bothered to read WORDS. You’re awful. The second picture in the series below is me trying to work out the third panel of the comic. I had to show him hanging, but also show the note he left behind. Tough stuff.
