I love drawing comics. I like sitting at my desk and figuring out how to lay out a page. I like the smell of india ink. Last Friday I decided to stay in and draw instead of going out for drinks. I love drawing comics. That being said, there are some drawbacks to comics. Sometimes [...]
I Miss Bush
The Poor Get Poorer, Presidents Get Worse SEATTLE—I miss Bush. Stop the presses and shut off the RSS feeds: the bashiest of the Bush-bashers is starting to appreciate the Exile of Crawford. I haven’t forgiven George W. Bush for stealing two elections, starting two wars, bankrupting the treasury and doing his damnedest to turn the [...]

Oftentimes I have trouble drawing consistently from panel to panel and page to page. It’s more apparent when I draw realistically. I wish I had the skills of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, but I don’t. What I found for me is creating model sheets helps, especially when the characters are really shape-based and have strong silhouettes. [...]

At the risk of overposting, I just needed to include a few more clown images. Actually, clowns play a fairly small role in Vatican Hustle. Still, they’re just so darn mesmerizing. Here’s two strips from the book. Don’t worry if they don’t make sense- they’re from separate pages. It’s not you.

I’m sure that most folks who perform as (or just dress up as ) clowns are fine, tax paying citizens- my cousin was a professional clown and he’s a great guy.
