Here we go from end to beginning. A case study into the creative birth process from finish to start. That’s right, we’re going backwards. Kind of like Mearth from Mork & Mindy. In writing a comic you have to come to know your characters as in-and-out as possible. So it’s important they have a back story, personality traits & faults;…

Quick Quiz – Do you know your sci-fi/fantasy heros?
Alright, I’m set to post a 6-part, countdown series on the strange art of creative thinking. However, I’ve run out of time to write the first one! So we shall break for a commercial interruption. Like any true geek I’ve got a few hidden bits that show my colours. Like waving a flag quietly behind a shut door (yay). One…
Sketch of the Post Turkey Day
Alright, decided to get back in the saddle as Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us. So I’m going to share a quick sketch today. Annoying Man. When I reflect on his origins (in my mind) I can’t help but credit Richard Dean Anderson a bit. See, he’s probably about 12% a rip off of MacGyver. See…
Sketch of the Day – Grahme vs. Stepdad
Been a couple of days without a post! So I decided we need a fresh sketch. I put out an A.P.B. after supper for a challenge draw between me and the kids. Grahme was my only taker. We discussed the rules – he didn’t want to draw on the same sheet so we decided to do it separately. Said which…
Sketch of the Day: Kewl-aiiihhh maybe I’ll pass
Alright, here’s a fresh sketch from today. There’s a few times a year where my thoughts linger to the Kool-Aid man. Must have been all those after-school-cartoon commercials the likes of ABC/NBC threw our way as kids. Cable, go figure. The intrigue behind Kool-Aid man for me has always been this. He (used to) bust through walls, yell “Oh Yeah!”…
Sketch of the Day
A simple sketch for a not-so simple day. This hero has remained nameless up until now. What do you think? Extra Long Body Man? The Incredible Torso? Captain Tough-To-Shop-For-Pants-For?
Care Bears relocate to Winnipeg
So Canad Inns bought and spruced up The Metropolitan theatre in downtown Winnipeg. Now this was a deal that took some planning and renovation. Planning that began before the 2012/13 hockey season went into limbo. In a move to recoup some of the unanticipated lost revenue they decided to rent out the top floor the the Care Bears to have…
Sorry kids, looks like it’s inorganic milk again tonight
I’ve been compelled twice this week to snap a pic at some of the more outlandish details while out shopping. And no, I’m not done my Christmas shopping. To get in the mood for it I’ve been practicing with the grocery shopping. So I was enlightened to a new form of milk on my last excursion to the Mart of…
The painful price of a duck turkey hybrid
uhm, how much? Oh, THAT’S why 🙂
Today’s web to-do bucket list
It feels like one of those days were I reflect on my electronic life to date, and create a bucket list of things I still need to do once on-line. There have been, and always will be a lot of fads of ways to interact with and consume the Internet. Trolling Redit. discovering YouTube comments threads (and averting thine eyes…
On Clutching Golden Cheeks
So what do you do with something when you’re just getting into your groove? End it of course :s Sigh, thus was the case with Detachable Head Guy. It was the end of the school year, and I figured if I did go back (I actually followed a divergent path) there would always be something new to try out. Thus…
The Dark Matter of Dreams
So I had a strange dream last night. Enough I decided to jot down the highlights. I have a blog. You do the math :p Heh, yes I figured I would catalog this one strange dream here and invite you to come to whatever conclusions of what dreams mean. Dream begins. I’m in on a virtual planetoid. It resembles the…
