Everyone's a Centaur #1: Cen-torn

And that’s the first strip! So many questions left...:

And that’s the first strip! So many questions left un-answered. What will become of Henry? Will that pudgy centaur ever get more beads? Why party so close to the train tracks?
There is more info about Everyone’s a Centaur in the About section, which will be updated with the strip.
Centaurs 4 life,

The Halifax game Jam was a last weekend! This is the art I made...:











The Halifax game Jam was a last weekend! This is the art I made for my team’s game, Knight Clubbin’, a fantasy rpg set in a nightclub. All the characters bounce to the music as they fight each other with timed attacks (also to music wich is a blend of club and fantasy scores.) The player’s characater, Ravewyn Floorstrider, throws her head at enemies to defeat them. Both bosses, Pop Collar Dragon and Breakdancing Eye, have special attacks with flames and lasers. I did a background as well, into which mock up of the UI was inserted.
Our team was great to work with. We ended up with fantastic design, programming, and animation. And even though not everything made it in, and we didn’t finish, the project was fun and I’m really happy that I got to spend a weekend doing non-stop art.
Also thanks to Andrew Power for some really great character sketches and ideas!

Alternate Endings to Faith Erin Hicks’ Friends with Boys!


The 3rd (and ultimate) Alternate Ending will be up tomorrow.


FwB is a wonderful comic and I’m glad I could make this super silly comic to celebrate the end of it!


Faith is a great friend, (some might call her, dare I say, RAD) and her comic-ing abilities always blow my socks off, FwB is no exception. Go out and get the book today, dammit.

Geo. Herriman:

Garge himself



Here’s what my next screen print should look like—except less neon orange and more rust. I’ll try to update with a better version if I get a chance—or maybe I’ll just scan a finished print!


From e. e. cummings’s 1946 tribute to Krazy Kat:



…let’s make no mistake about Krazy. Her helplessness, as we have just seen, is merely sensical—nonsensically she’s a triumphant, not to say invincible, phenomenon. As for this invincible phenomenon’s supposed idiocy, it doesn’t even begin to fool nonsensical you and me. Life, to a lot of people, means either the triumph of mind over matter or the triumph of matter over mind; but you and I aren’t a lot of people. We understand that, just as there is something—love—infinitely more significant than brute force, there is something—wisdom—infinitely more significant than mental prowess.



You can read the whole essay, and much more, in Craig Yoe’s excellent Krazy Kat & the Art of George Herriman: A Celebration.
