Also, here's a terribly drawn picture from several years ago of a Christmas Tree Man flipping you off and firing his gun.
You know that thing that looks like a monocle? Yeah, that's just supposed to be a big eye. See? Crap.

Look, A Boat
Removing the "buy stuff" section for now. It will be replaced soon with a new store thingy. Actually, a new HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL full/complete website is being built (by people better than I) and the hope is to integrate this here blog into that somehow. Anyway, it'll have a more proper storefront and whatnot eventually (with more than one item for sale!!! It can't miss!).

Hey, we're back!
So-- this blog was formerly used to promote my mini-comic GOSH IS DEAD, but due to my family and work situations in the last year, I've been woefully behind and have not completed any new issues. As a result, this place has become mostly dead.
Meanwhile, in the interests of better promoting my other comics and lettering work -- and better connecting with folks in general -- I've been slightly more active on message boards and sites like Twitter and Facebook. I still do a terribly inadequate job of promoting and marketing myself, but anything more than "nothing" is more than I did in the past. Baby steps, folks.
The problem is -- those places aren't always the best platform to air one's (HIGHLY IMPORTANT!!!) grievances. Facebook and message boards may be TOO open-ended to make really strong statements, as we often see (or fail to see) a debate's most important points get lost in the muck and mire that is internet minutiae one-upsmanship. Meanwhile, Twitter's 140-character limit forces one to edit severely -- which is great, and has actually made me a more articulate writer, but if I can't make a point in one tweet, I usually don't try to make it. Better to do it here if I need to run on a bit.
Anyway, that's my long-winded way of saying I'll be occasionally posting little rantings around these parts. Also, more GOSH IS DEAD comics are on their way as soon as possible (I did get a little ways into #2 already), so we're not completely departing from the blog's original intent. And hopefully the comics -- or my inane ramblings -- will occasionally be worth reading.
So, you know -- take that home to the bank, or whatever.
