This really makes me want to see an official Achewood cartoon:

I don't think there's a person alive that could properly convey Roast Beef's voice, though. |

This is the corner of my room. I spend a lot of time here.

So, based on the fact that we are all essentially fragile machines that need food and shelter to survive, I've recently been thinking of ways that I could milk a few precious dollars from the enormous, bloated cash cow that is the internet. I don't reeeaaally know what people might actually want to buy from me, so I figured I'd ask you, my livejournal friends, since I am fairly sure that you are the only people that know I exist beyond my immediate family and maybe my roommates.
So, uh, anyone want anything? What kinda stuff do you want? I've oft considered the possibility of doing commission sketches or portraits or comics or whatever (I don't like to brag, but I am a renaissance man of sorts *makes smug face* *rubs fingernails on coat lapel*) but I've never really bothered to actually, you know, attempt to sell my artwork or services before, so the whole thing is relatively new to me.
I see a few options, here:
1. I could do the KC Green thing and write comics based on ideas you send me. This could end up being funny for several reasons, the main reason of which is the fact that I rarely try to write "jokes" with "punchlines" and could therefore fail miserably.
2. I could do drawings and sketches and stuff based on what you dudes would like to see. This might be alright since I can sort of draw, I think.
3. I could just start putting sketchbook pages up for sale and see if people are interested in the random mix of stuff that spills out of me. I'm imagining a lot of pretty girls, life drawings, little unpublished daily comics, grocery lists, and other silly things. I don't know who would really want to put a framed grocery list up on their wall but this is the internet and I lost my ability to be surprised at the things people are interested in a long time ago.
OR I could do all of these things? I'm open to other suggestions, of course. Would it be at all worth my time to try to do this stuff?
Oh also I'm 12 pages into my short story and WILL eventually finish it. I have not abandoned it like every other project in my life. I am proud of myself. |

Since she is modest and I can't really see her advertising her stuff all over the place like a crazy person, you should go and buy, at the very, very least, one item from Kate Beaton's store. I have only not done so yet because I am facing literal starvation and death by exposure in the upcoming warm summer months.
There are probably very, very few of you who are reading this and who aren't already LJ friends of hers, but still, do a thing for a good cartoonist.
In other news, I thought to do this because I've moooore or less finalized that dumb whale t-shirt I came up with a while ago and may be asking for charity votes on the thing soon. It probably won't win because I am awful but you are all I have! I have nowhere else to go, as they say.
Edit: While I'm at it, go buy my friend Andrew Schick's stuff too. |

I am back from my IDEA program interview/Dream Theater concert trip. Both went fairly well, so far as I know. The interview was made up of three hour-long tests - I drew a mediocre bowl of fruit, killed my interview (I think), and wrote a mediocre essay.
( I'm cutting this because it's long and is annoying me. ) |

Here is a sneak peek at a thumbnail for a pivotal moment in my upcoming short story:
Try to hold back your salty tears of jealousy as you gaze at my artistic prowess. |

I am somewhat embarrassed to say that, well, I was popular in high school. I dressed like everyone else, cut my hair like everyone else, listened to "high school guy" music, and basically was very concerned with being quite a bit like everyone else. I was not a jerk but I pretty much hung out with the jerks up until people mellowed out in grades 11 and 12.
I've still never smoked pot.
The bleached, shaggy haired, soul-patched version of me is the only one that's gotten laid. |

Working on "real" stuff is hard! I'm slightly stuck for actions to take on page ten, but after this it should be relatively smooth sailing to the end of the story. I'm kind of excited to actually put something up that's not about me, even if people hate it.

These are not in chronological order, nor are they about particularly important events, but that is how my brain works:
I was sort of nervous to meet Liz! She is nice.
Kate Beaton drew this one. I get this aaaaall the time:
Maybe I will do more of these if any other moments come to mind. Robin Bougie, I am sorry that I drew you shorter than me and with a big ol' head. |

| Hm, well |
