and so it begins....

I start me new job on Monday...yay!! It'll be good to work on stuff that's a little more me...plus i get to work with great people and stuff...so, uh, yeah...here's an angry monkey in a sweater vest. Enjoy.

the 40oz show was excellent!!

with a kiss from my daughter I was off this weekend to Vancouver to go to the fabulous 40oz show!! Lemme tell yous, a good time was had by all, well, most...the person who threw up didn't have a good time....hehe...photos here...

Here's the man who put it all together. Mike G, whose bottle kicked much butt by the way...the photo I took of it really sucked...granted, this was after I discovered the bar upstairs, so that might have had something to do with it....maybe...prolly not tho.

Here's my friends bottles, together at last...Trussell and Augie's beautiful bottles in one glorious photo!!

and here's Jodi. Schmiddy, and Gina...they rocketh...Jodi really rocks it hard!! She is awesome. Just thought you should know. respect.

some girl on girl action...to which schmiddy gave this face...

...awww yeah!

here's schmiddy's kitty Mr. Kitty...

and Baxter...i believe his name is Baxter...he likes his belly rubbed...so, in conclusion, I had such a blast...had a few drinks, and stuff...thanks Mike for putting this thang on...i had such a blast...

holy crap!!

This totally inspired me to draw the above sleestak...i love those guys!! Anyway...nice to see you again...please come again.

frankenberry's weird.

kinda weird to put a monster in a pink spandex body suit with chain suspenders and strawberry fingernails, and a pressure cooker head? weird...or genius?!?? See you in Vancouver. and apparently i do a lot of opened mouth pointing drawings...sigh...i'm stuck in a rut...somebody shoot mes.

it's back baby!!

the super villian challenge is back!!! whoot! Here's my quick sketch entry of Mxyzptlk...hehehe...he has a tiny penie..hehehe...

Lois Lane tried to steal my daughter!!!!

...sorta...well, not really...Margot Kidder was at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend when the family and I showed up to see what we could steal from Karin's booth. We all walked by and Margot saw the beauty that is Esther and she was mesmerized. She held her and Esther even got her to do the "oh no" thing that she makes grown ups do to look funny....she puts both of her hands on each side of her head and shakes it back and forth...well, she'll do it if we say "oh no!"...but she did it for Margot and Margot did it back...she then signed a photo for Esther...we picked the one where you can see superman's package standing next to Lois Lane...hehe...oh, and she fell and hit her head on the cement, but it really wasn't my fault...honest.


oh, and she's back to the whole posing thing for the cameras...sigh...it's almost so cute that it could cause siezures. Doesn't it kinda look like those depresingly cute photos that come with frames? The ones that say, your kid isn't this adorable, but buy this frame anyway...well, my kid is that adorable...so there frame companies!! I've beaten you at your own game! Your mearly cute children in frames is nothing compared to the raw power of Eshter's dimples....bwaaaaahahahahahahahahaah...or something.



and I think i get to go the the 40oz show in Vancouver!! It'll be hard to be away from Pancake...I'm the one who puts her to bed, but it should be fun to see my friends, and people who I've only met via blogs and stuff...hope to see you there?

Well, I've finished my bottles...

So here's some photos of my bottles for the forty show....once I finished them, I realized three things....one, that painting on bottles is haaaaard...two, that I'm not a good painter (tho it is fun), and three, these looked soooooooooo much better in my head...so forgive me. Color really isn't my forte...I'm most comfortable with pencil and/or ink...maybe one or two colors tops...anyway...i have no idea how much to price these things...I'll let Mike price them...hehe...


I was playing around with sponges on the monkey bottle...it didn't turn out that well...kinda hard to have any kind of stencil with a bottle...and plus, I've just never done it before...

and here's one of Esther...and her banana slug hair clip that Karin made...damn...i feckin' love this thing...so does Esther...so, bug her 'bout making tons more so you can buy them too!! She has a whole bunch of different animals and stuff...chicken leg, dead fish, octpopus...and all of them are the rad.

if you're near seattle on April 7th.

...if you want. No pressure. A bunch of us who worked on this anthology comic thingie will be there to sign copies if anyone wants to purchase one..or not...whatever...sigh.

some Esther...and a crap drawing

here's Esther at the park....she loves the mirrors.
Here she is "napping"....

And here's the crap drawing i was talking aboot...yeah, i know it's generic and it was inked fer poo, but, hey, it's all i have for now...i've been busy the past few weeks and stuff...so there. Anyway...thanks for all the kind brithday wishes and stuff. I'm now officially old. Yay. Talk to you kids soon.

esther's better than you

here's the inital sketch that inspired one of my bottles for the forty show in vancouver. I might even be able to go to the show...and crash on schmiddy's couch, which is always fun...but he now apparently has face eating kittens now, so that should be nice. anyway...the show should be pretty cool...mike g is putting it together. So if you're in the arer, drop by and buy my pieces.

some crap for you to behold

so yeah. Yesterday Esther went to the doctor's again for her follow up..and got four shots, two per thigh...which completly sucked. it totally sucks having to hold your kid down while someone sticks them with needles...and one of the shots was the flu shot...another was polio....i forgot what the others were, protection against groundhogs i think. Anyway...she got a fever last night...she was miserable...couldn't get comfortable and stuff...we gave her some tylonol or how ever you speel it...too lazy to look it up. This morning she was all smiley and happy, not feverish...so yay!!! I hate not being able to help her. sigh...i suck. anyway...how was your evening?

here's some random screaming heads and stuff.

abe sapien

saw a hellboy comic the other day, and decided to do some crappy throw away drawin's of abe. How was your day?

scarecrow and ms. king...

on some sort of weird wizard of oz kick for some reason...

monkeyapes

now with more sausage!!

so how was your day?

i decided you've been good, so i made you this. and colored it poorly. because i care that much.

and here's one angry yeti who stole the monkey's turtleneck sweater...he's a bad naughty angry yeti. and he has very bad breath...it smells of hot sick. and candy.

so...uh...howdy...

and stuff...Esther's first doctor was yesterday (thursday), and she was a trooper...literally, she had on some airborn gear and was about to do her third unassisted jump...but then the doctor came in...and touched her molar buds and she decided to stay with us. She got two shots in her thigh and cried pretty hard...and then she was done. then they decided that they wanted to keep some of her blood in containers for the museum of beautiful people...as they legally can't keep her there...i'd have to punch them in the neck if they tried to do that...or the ovaries..whichever was handier. anyhoo...she's totally kick bootay... See you next week. Have a weekend and things...

i like toy guns...

but hate the real thing...it's weird...but toy guns are fun...just thought you should know that. peas and corrots.

some photos from the weekend

me and chrissy...awwwwwww jayeah....

chrissy and lo pan.....

the wife and pancake lookin good....

this weekend we had dinner with my parents and sister/sister's family...it was a blast! I'd post more photos, but blogger's being weird...check huddle' blog for more photos...for some reason she can post more...sigh...i sucketh...but you already knew that...awesome!!!

some notes from this morning's meeting...

as you've probably already noticed, the meeting was about bears and how to befriend them...actually, I can't say what the meeting was aboot. It's all top secret, just like the movie, with cow costumes and glowing breasteses and the like....

and an image from that time it takes for the world to build...excuse me, i just sneezed...and got some goop on your screen...let me get that for you...crap, now it's smearing...sigh, oh well...enjoy it.

hello...again...

here's a new design i've been working on for Esther. I wanna animate her...and the stamp is apparently my name in Chinese. I had it made whilst in China...and Joanna says that it seems to be sorta kinda like my name...at least it doesn't say "idiot" or "wanker", or something...

here she is drinking rose tea....it makes me go crosseyed as well...

Pancake and Joanna...

Karin and Panpan...

Augie, Xiaopan and Mommy...

and one of my favorite faces that she makes...it's the "whaaaaah?" face...she makes it when she's kinda concentrating or figuring out something...or just plain confused...or something...and stuff...with some things.
