new pages on my comic.

I'm always updating the etsy store with posters and post cards and junk. I'm thinking about posting patches and T shirts as well. So check it out. Also if you want something of mine and it's not on the site right now PM me a request and I'll post it up there just for you.

I've been bouncing two different book ideas around. One was another 30's era supernatural story involving athenian and african mythological figures and Robert Johnson. The other is a murder mystery in a rusty, snow covered, rural massachusetts town, where only a washed out ex-paper mill employee can figure out who done it. Above is some preliminary sketches for the murder mystery, which is the idea I'm going with.

hey folks

Just got back from Austin and South by Southwest and oh the stories! Too much happened to recount, but I'll try to give you an idea with a stream of conciseness bullet point list:

* Impromptu hobo rag time bands on the street.
* Opened for a big band only to have Ralph offend them deeply with itinerant finger flicking.
* Endless bonanza of dumpstering.
* Gwar
* Caught in a rain storm with my buddy under a tarp, in a puddle, and damn near naked.
* Made fast friends with two amazing bands, one being Dry River Yacht Club from Tempi.
* Blues Duo with mysterious and amazing Wisconsin guitarist.
* Got a new hat.

And this barely recounts the sheer glam and pop of the trip. It really shook the dust out and made me a new man.
I went to Austin because you need to leave paradise to remember why you moved there. New Orleans is an island danerous, dynamic, oppressive, free, and not a lick like Austin. Austin is easy and clean, it's like playing pick a number against yourself.
I needed it though. I needed to fly solo and trudge silent roads, shadowed parks, and grungy jagged streets again, eat garbage, and play good music to folks who can't tell the difference, if only for a bit.

Also I was stuck on a my book. I've been working so long on Tug, I forgot what it was to start something from nothing. It's coming together. When I was huddled under the tarp against the wind and icy rain with my buddy the story started to coming together in ernest. I'm waiting on letting anyone know what it's all about though, it'll be good, trust me. I posted a doodle I did in my sketch book.

climbing into my friend Ralph's beat ass voyager and heading to South by Southwest to hastle indie kids and make general fools of ourselves.

Some editors are less stoked about your work than others: http://benpassmore.blogspot.com/2010/0 3/rejection-sweet-rejection.html

Got a few ideas for a new novel, something a lil more contemporary and based in lore and mythology, but also in a washed-out motel in South Carolina. Stayed up till six sketching and brainstorming on it. Anyway, I king of devil like character is a giant naked, skull faced woman.

I mean, I don't REALLY care, but still, crazy.

Hey folks
Money's low and I'm looking to get some stuff off my back so I put some more posters for sale and some postcards and a book too on etsy.com

Also, If you want a poster or card of one of my pieces posted on newgrounds shoot me a PM.
The 11x17 run about 20 bucks, but I'll cut you deal seeing as I'm scrapping the bottom of the kitty.

Did a bunch more old timey girl doodles last night to kill time.
