A little doodling to end the day. Poor lil' guy; I feel like I should feed him a Twinkie or something...

Aiding and Abetting

January's ingredients. Mix well, stir as needed.

Beginnings, Middles and Ends

A bit of coffeeshop sketching to end the first week of the year. And speaking of starts and stops, this month marks six years of blogging in this here neck of the woods. Good times.

Cut and Paste

Here's the mood board I'm referencing for a book I'm working on at the moment. It's an assortment of paper, string, magazine cutouts, fabric and whatever else was on hand, all pulled together to give some inspiration. Putting this together made me think of the winter my freshman year, when I attempted to plaster the wall behind my desk with as much ephemera as I could get my hands on. Armed with scotch tape and scissors, I'd clip out song lyrics, drawings, patterns -- anything to camouflage the cinderblock wall and to distract me from how ridiculously homesick I was. By the end of the semester, the wall was well covered, ultimate frisbee was in full swing and I'd discovered the soft serve ice cream machine in the cafeteria. This, in turn, meant I no longer fantasized about catching the next available east coast bound Amtrak.

Which is a very long-winded way of saying, mood boards and I go (amicably) way back.

Begin at the Beginning

Twenty twelve, how do you do.

Today was spent working out the logistics of 2012, assigning schemes and dreams to the calendar pages. On the immediate horizon, there's an assortment of projects I'm excited to jump into (more about those in the coming months). I'm mulling over ideas for something to replace the diary comic. And I am attempting New Year's resolutions, which currently include running, busking and soup-making (but not simultaneously).

And you?
