i will be tabling at WonderCon this Friday and Sunday at Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco. cozy on up to my books and paintings there in the small press section. if you like turtles, you should definitely come. i will be armed and ready with little green dudes. (anyone excited to see the TMNT flick, btw???)

good manners


i've been wanting to do some long tail kitty and mr. boombha shorts, tiny tales, so to speak. maybe just one panel per page, so the books might end up being little accordian strips, like the ones you find in toy packages or bubble gum.



cellphones and sharing are at the core of this petit rien.

introspective


i started this blog about a year ago. sometimes i reneg on the posts. i get embarrassed knowing that i put it up for me, but that others are looking in. or that maybe others are looking in. i don't really know if it is happening. but the possiblity is convincing enough.

it's the nature of blogs. constantly oscillating between the personal and the public world. i don't know who you are but i know you're there. you're kind of a ghost, you know?

today's post happens before my walk. you who read this know that i am going for walk, but you won't know what i'll be thinking or feeling or be. my walk will be for me.

when i first started drawing comics and going to shows, everyone wanted to be friends. artists, cartoonists, writers, retailers, publishers, distributors and fans. whatever, it didn't really matter what the labels were. it was just one big party all the time. what fun times.

and those who were young are now growing old. folks move on. furthering themselves in their missions, furthering themselves away from everyone.

even though you are leaving me, i can still see you. i can see your back, the part with no face. and if you can sense it, you might see mine. we can be ghosts in each others worlds.

i'm behind you all. can you hear what it is i'm saying?
i'm saying: "bye-bye, and good luck"
