Some random post

"Yep that's right, There's a new comic over at that other blog" "whoa jeeze"
"My god a new comic? How fascinating."
"Hmmm, I stopped reading that dumb comic. That guy never posts anymore.
"Yeah, I hate that guy. Who does he think he is?"
"Well I like that comic and I'm going to go read it. Dum dee doo..."

San Diego is on fire!......again

It's the four year anniversary from the big cedar fire here in San Diego. What better way to celebrate than with another fire!
This is the street on the side of my house. Just beyond the house at the end of the road is a canyon filled with smoke.
I drove down the road to a park that is perched over looking the same canyon with a 180 degree view. (view below is not 180)
If you're familiar with black mountain/ Rancho Penisquitos this is looking down on that area (above). Just to the right would be Black Mountain but it was not visible with all the smoke.
The houses above are down the street from me and along the same canyon.

I don't know how these kids were playing baseball. It was getting hard to breath just walking around taking these pictures. Also the camera didn't pick this up but there was ash falling from the sky like a light snow fall (I assume).

Comic Con: The tale of a late post

So comic-con was 2 months ago, and since I am always on the cutting edge I thought I'd share some of these drawings I did while there.
One of these people above paid to be at comic con and the other one is being paid to be at comic con. Guess which is which.

Elite security was in top form this year. Giving me the wrong information about everything from which lines to stand in to what door not to enter. I think a lot of those "elite" guys are old high school jocks who want to bark at nerds.

Cry Baby

I drew this comic in about 5 or 10 minutes tonight. It's a couple of guys I know who take a little too much pleasure in getting their sketches rejected and making little girls cry while drawing caricatures.
I'm not sure how funny this comic will be for anyone who doesn't draw caricatures, or anyone who doesn't know Jared Lipscomb (pg1) or Nate Kapnicky (pg2).




Anyone remember a movie called Cry Baby where Johnny Depp collects his tears in a jar? Yeah, me neither but my girlfriend always talks about it.

300


I sat down to draw my weekly comic. I usually have a page on the side to doodle on to stay loose. I doodled a page and then 5 pages and then this, so I colored it up. Now it's 3am and and still no comic.

Transformers: Alternate Prequel

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are one of the 6 people on the planet that have not seen Transformers then do not read on. Seriously, if you continue to read the rest of this post you will tarnish your movie viewing experience. Micheal Bay will cry if you have not seen Transformers and you continue to read on. Seriously guys....






Ok now that the losers are gone, do you remember in the movie that Megatron came to Earth in 1934 looking for the all spark. He crashed in Antarctica and got frozed. I wrote this comic as if Megatron hadn't traveled millions of light years, got to Earth and slipped on ice.
Steven Spielberg and Micheal Bay frequent this blog (I assume), so I'll ask them directly.
How do you guys like my story telling skills? Can I story board the sequel? Just let me know down in the comments. I'll get in touch.

Cartoons

Ok time for cartoons. These are sketches and ideas from a cartoon I've been working on with Anne in my spare time . Which I've had none of lately.





A surly ol' hobo has a big part in this story. Here are a few ideas. Non of these made the cut...so far.

And a bright eyed, confused young girl in which our main characters can corrupt.



Here are a few of the actual frames. So you know the whole thing doesn't look like it was drawn on the back of a napkin.

Big Fat Zoo Post

I read a quote one time from Craig Mc Cracken (powerpuff girls creator) where he said "I'd rather see a bunch of funny cartoons in a portfolio than pretty elephants." . I apologize to him in advance.
These sketches are from a couple zoo trips over the last couple months with Wattana, Manny and zoo Ryan.


If you cross a giraffe and a zebra you get this guy, the okapi.



These guys were fun to watch but hard to draw. A lot of little monkeys running very fast, jumping, and playing with each other. Most of these sketches were done very fast when they would stop for food or rest. The drawings I have of them playing are unrecognizable, just scribbles.









When I approached the baboons I thought I'd be drawing some surly angry red booty beast.



But after watching and drawing this guy (actually a girl) for a while she seemed a bit neurotic. Her poses were very skitish and she had a funny cough.


I promise to post some real cartoons soon so Craig McCraken doesn't cry.
