Here's just a sample of line art on one of the pages from the 3rd volume of Checkerpop! Click to enlarge!



Had a lot of fun up late drawing this one. Denver and I basically finished it but our printer blew up! We are now considering a few different options for printing. I'll get back to you when we know how we'll be printing.

In other news, Van comicon was a good experience! Our comics sold out save a few copies! Met some interesting artists and had a radical time!


Some interesting characters there for sure! The pic above is from a cool dude/game designer (Ian Christy). More of his photos of the con here.

I have a million other things to say. We are chillin' at Nigel's listening to him mix dope beats and I'm going to pass out now!

Bye friends!

Music for the Future

Dude! A strange and musical day today. I popped over to Zola's to pick up her keytar. Holy shit. I always thought I wanted a keytar. And I was always like, "keytars are really cool, I totally want one." Man, I had no idea. It is actually the best intstrument on the planet. I think I may have found my instrument of choice. Now I'm sure some of you are thinking "isn't it just a keyboard, that you wear, sorta?" Well the answer is no! Actually, yes - kind of. Whatever it, doesn't matter. I really like it.


But wait, that's not all! There's more! Eric stopped by today to jam and help me fix my guitar. For some unkown reason, he has these weird "electronic drumsticks." They look like oversized motor-powered toothbrushes, or some strange testing unit found in a doctor's office (see below). You can make a beat by simply swinging them in the air. I guess they can serve as a good practice tool for aspiring drummers? Anyways, they are pretty crappy but I basically played with them for an hour straight and enjoyed myself. Then it hit me: keytar + weird toothbrush things = awesome. Despite the lack of quality, they produce this cheeseball synthy sound that I just had to record.

So that's that. Check the song I made with these cracked out tools: SONG!

The con went well. Sold a bunch of comics. Had so much fun. Spent way too much money on the whole ordeal.


Wanna thank everyone who contributed to the comic book as well as everyone who bought a copy or said nice things about it!! :)
