Guerilla blog-updating
Kind of scribbly, but if you consider that they were done on a rocking train, they're not bad. Designs for my project thingy - photographed and resized by a completely leet haxxor using only command-line wizardry. You realize how much you take Photoshop for granted when someone goes digging around in linux typing stuff like resize 620x480 instead of using the little pie slice to drag the image to the size you want.
I am, unfortunately, not the leet haxxor mentioned here. It is Joshua, who could pretty much give all three of the Lone Gunmen a run for their money and bandwidth.
Flight has just released their fourth volume of comics! Apparently they're available at chain bookstores but not comic stores yet - I went and read it at Borders, so I can gush about the art but actually buy my copy from the table at Comicon. The best of both worlds! Reagan Lodge did a page spread in the front, and on the inside are of course wonderful comics. The slick Little Trouble in the Big Top by Vera Brosgol and the sketchy Binny by Lark Pien were my favorites - and the tree-head igloo-head guys (go buy the comic to see what I'm talking about!).
Definitely something to pick up and get inspired by.
Is anyone else looking forward to Comicon this much? It's like the yearly refill at the pumps of comic and illustration inspiration and enthusiasm.

Oh yay! When you read Flight 4, look for my friend Sarah Mensinga's story 'The Forever Box'. She's a fantastic artist (and has a blog too) - so check it out! :)
I had fun drawing on the train when I was on one last week, unfortunately it's not too easy trying to draw people nearby - they kept staring at me awkwardly. Darn them.

hi emma
nice to meet you!
i will have my own little table at comic-con every year (P1 on the map), so if you are going please let me know. i will try to drop by the Flight table for sure.
as for your comments about Binny, thanks so much. you really made my day. i was pretty sure that people would want to tear their eyes out after seeing it because the art is so splotchy (especially next to all the clean digital art in this anthology). but yeah, well...thanks!
also, i see you like guy davis and gipi too. they are awesome, awesome, awesome. have you seen work by Pascal Rabate and Nicolas de Crecy.if not, i can post a few pics on my blog for you. let me know.
anyhow, this is a long-ass comment.i'll stop here.
cheers
