I sat down to think about where I’ve been these past two weeks. Where have I been? I have neglected posting to my website, because I’ve been making comics every week. Believe me, I wanted to post all the exciting projects, but had to stop myself from showing them prematurely. But what about the past 8 weeks? What have I been doing all quarter???
Below I have posted many of the original pages of artwork and comics I made for classes, comedy shows, and other projects. Some of them have been posted earlier this month, but most will be coming soon! Add me to your RSS feed to get updated when some of these pages hit the web, and when you can actually READ my comics. Thanks for watching me, and in the coming weeks I promise to show you some of the coolest things I’ve made this quarter.
PS. I also tabled at SCAD’s Mini Comics Expo, and wrote about it on the SEQALab website. Head on over there to see some of the pictures I took!

I recently learned about an award that is given out to people who at one point in their lives pursued cartooning. The National Cartoonists Society has an award called the ACE award, or “Amateur Cartoonist Extraordinary”. The last recipient won in 1998, but recipients have been Al Roker and Hugh Hefner. But what piqued my interest was that there were a few ACEs that became famous is comedy. Carol Burnett, Jackie Gleason, and stand-up Denis Leary all at one point in their lives aspired to be cartoonists.
You don’t always hear about the alternative futures that celebrity’s envisioned for themselves before they achieved fame in other fields. Before Al Roker became the famous national weatherman, he double majored in journalism and graphic design. In an interview, Al Roker was asked what was a defining moment in his career as a journalist, and one of his top two moments was interviewing creator of the comic serial “Peanuts”, Charles M. Schulz.

I don’t do this often, but this post has a bonus illest-tration! I’ve just been making lots of work and you get to see both for the price of one visit! First, this Wednesday is another Coffee House event, with David Stine and Melissa Hagerty performing! I will probably be in attendance, so stop by and say hello to me.
Secondly, the “Sensual Sounds of an Arousing Evening” Comedy Show is THIS THURSDAY at the Sentient Bean, 8 to 10PM. It’s going to be a crazy fun show, because it is our Valentine’s Day-themed show. I will be covering topics revolving around dating relationship, and my specialty, SEX. It’s sure to be a fun, revealing event, and one that will make you cringe at how horrible some of the things in my life go. Bring a date, so that you can both share a moment of complete awkwardness and make love to afterwords.

If you don’t want to admit that you stalk people, then I will. I have a Facebook account, a Twitter, and I’m subscribed to at least 50 blogs in my Google Reader. Among them are artists, designers, and even old funny men who don’t really know how to use the internet (like comedian Louis C.K.). Many of these blogs I found after reading one article on their site, and they continued to publish more and more valuable articles.
Some blogs I added to my list after their authors let me know they read mine. I like finding out who is viewing my website because usually they have content I’m interested in seeing myself. Here are 3 people who have checked me out, or who I’ve checked out, and now I follow to see what’s new in their worlds. They also happen to be Asian girls.
