Yes, you can have update

Here’s most of page 23 of Dicebox Part 8 : Birds of a Feather. (permalink)

Life continues to be very hectic and bumpy for me in both good and not so good ways. As I mentioned on the Dicebox home page, I will update weekly (gods willing) though I might miss Wednesday from time to time. If there was a better day for an update, I’d pick it, but there’s not.

Now, part of the solution folks suggest for me to grab a little more time for myself is to have Beezel impersonate me at the day job. (Thurber is usually suggested to take Kip’s place.) Well, that wacky Dylan Meconis actually did a mock-up of what that might look like in order to convince me:

It did make me laugh right when I needed it.

I have been doing things…

Some of the things I’ve been doing and not mentioning here are Dicebox updates. Though I’ve actually had help in that department: here is Billy Mudron’s The Illustrated Dicebox. And my updates, including today’s, can be found here. (Note: all of the above is NSFW)

But what’s been keeping me really busy these past few weeks (besides the day job) is my work as part of the Stumptown Comics Fest organizing committee.

As you all probably know, Stumptown was this past weekend and it went really swell. I’ve added my photos to the Stumptown Comics Festival 2008 Pool but have no real report to make. Instead, I direct you to the observations of others: Dylan’s, Ivy’s, Bill’s, Sara’s, Barry’s and Brenna’s - part 1, part 2 and part 3. More reports are appearing about the web, you can find some press reviews right here.

I was actually out of it most of the weekend and missed a lot of great things, including most of what was offer in the exhibit hall. One of the events I deeply regret having missed was the Comics Art Battle at Cosmic Monkey Comics Saturday night.

Above is a great picture of Team Web: Christopher Baldwin, Dylan Meconis, Barry Deutsch and Bill Mudron. Or, as I like to call them, my people. Actually these folks really are my people, I have shared residence (and a bathroom) with all of them at one point or another. Nevermind than Dylan, Barry and I all updates our comics on Wednesday and take part in the same “collective storytelling experience” (aka, a role playing game) Oh, hey, and all four have done Dicebox fill-ins for me. Crazy.

Getting back in the groove

Unlike last week, this week there’s a Dicebox update–still Not Safe for Work. (permalink)

Hoping I’m not cursing myself by saying that this rough patch should be over. (though I probably am.) Part of what’s been keeping me busy is me doing my bit for the upcoming Stumptown Comics Fest happening on April 26th and 27th. I’ll be tabling with the lovely Dylan Meconis again, selling prints, t-shirts and what have you.

Wednesday already?

Hey, so, here’s this week’s Dicebox update. (permalink) And as promised, it’s Not Safe For Work. Actually, this’ll be true of the next couple-few pages. You’ve been warned.

Kris explains it all

There isn’t a new page of Dicebox this week; Kris Dresen explains at least partly why.

Really, her part in “preventing” me from completing a page was the nicest part and, hell, it’s not like the day job made me an amusing cartoon in recompense for its part.

But new page next week! And as an added bonus it’ll be NSFW!
