Squatthrust Reborn!

4 New strips in what I hope to be an ongoing series of comics about life and being an art teacher. Enjoy

Hello

Hi everyone. I'm still here. I have been working for the last four months on what might be a very big commercial project (read "secret"). I have however been thinking a lot about comics and seeing as how there is a February deadline looming for the 6th installment of the HIVE anthology, I need to get something together. I have been toying with creating comics inspired by some classic rock songs. Things with a narrative bent to them. I had done a drawing based on the song IRON MAN but wanted to expand it and several others. Also thinking about more BOV's. THis is going to be a crazy year but I hope you will stick with me. I may be spending less time brushing the comics and saving the brush for fine art and the commercial projects. See you soon,

Still here

Hi everyone. School is starting back up. Tuesday the kiddies will return to class to learn how to eat paste and carve their names in rulers. I am still working on strips (2 more on the table now) and will post as soon as I can. I am also working on a 3 page strip for an upcoming anthology that I will tell you about later. Until then, please stay with me and I will post new work soon. I may even post pics of the studio now that I am moved into the small bedroom and my daughters will share the big one I used to use.

Amazing, Grateful

The Great folks over at the daily crosshatch have a strip of mine up for your enjoyment. If you haven't checked them out you are missing out!

The Book Of Violence

Been thinking a lot lately about the culture of violence we seem to be a part of.

It's a maaaaaad world

I am playing around with a large scale strip that I hope to serialize in the Hive anthology. It is called "The Book of Violence" and if it comes out the way I see it, it will be pretty crazy. I have been thinking a lot lately (mostly since I had a kid, and now with another on the way) about the culture of violence we live in. Not only do we deal with crime, war and such but we revel in violent video games, movies, comics, etc. I have been thinking about the phrase, "blessed are the peace makers" and wondering about my roll in that as well. So, the strip is all about violence in it's many forms. I hope to make it so over the top as to make it seem as ridiculous as it is (especially for those who use it for their own ends). It is hard to be a peace maker because we are born into this culture. I hope it will be fun. Fun? Maybe it could be put in a book some time.

Skechbook Comics

Occasionally, I will post stuff out of my sketchbook like these 2 from this week at school.

More pages coming

I am working on the next few pages. I am however a middle school teacher and I have a gallery show in Fayettville Arkansas this coming Thursday so I will be pretty busy. I will see what I can do to get at least one page up if not two by Sunday Thanks all who are following.
