Of all the categories of people you would think would be easy to find online wouldn’t you think it would be graphic novel writers? I mean come on, people!

The conference was great it was taught by Dave Cross master of some of the coolest things I’ve [...]

I went on an interview today and guess what? I am now a teacher at a local community college! Of course that’s not as impressive as it could be but it is one step closer to my ultimate goal of teaching at a university (trust me, the experience counts). I’m going to be teaching digital [...]

Last night I got the idea to Last.fm Vivaldi and I discovered something–Dvorak rocks. Allow me to explain why Dvorak would rock when I Lasted Vivaldi. For those of you who have never used Last.fm the reason I like it so much is that it makes it so much easier to discover new music. When [...]

I love this picture! It is very rare that I say that (publicly) about my own work but in this case I got the ship down perfectly. It took an hour just for the ship to come to life and I didn’t think I would get it to look that much like what I had in my [...]

I finished Asteroid! I meant this one to be based on the old Asteroid video game. The majority of the elements were painted and for the controls I used some photographic elements because I wanted the actual spaceship to have some realism about it.

I worked on it again yesterday for another hour and a half only half as long as the day I started it. The good news is the castle wasn’t as hard to do as I thought it would be and it is just about as close to what was in my head as I could [...]

Yesterday a phenomena (or phenomenon?) happened to me. I had nothing to do! Nothing to do, nothing to think about and nothing to worry about. This worried me. I always have something to worry about so this made me feel lost which made me worry about not being worried.
