It's stuck in my head



So, it's been a long while, yes? More time has freed up now that I've graduated, so I'm trying to actually update on a regular basis, or at least more frequently than in the past. I'm certain there will be some interesting stories to tell about my upcoming job hunt.

Uncorrected Proofs #4



A derby comic, finally. This was an actual conversation on the track at practice with another referee. After this incident, I changed from the ball chain I had been using for my whistle to a lanyard I picked up at ALA Midwinter, so my whistle hangs lower and doesn't peg my nipple at every hairpin turn.

This is probably the last comic to be done in this format. I wanted to do a full series of comics in one journal, and at the time I really appreciated that they were on cheap, lined paper, which suits the name of the comic quite well, but I really want to work with better materials, and also just have a larger space to play with layout. This format is very constrictive to what I can do on a page. More to come once I have time (which is to say, after they give me my MLS degree on the 9th).

edit: Yes, I do wear hotpants and tights whenever I'm doing derby. Yes, this bothers some people. /edit.

Uncorrected Proofs #3




Tough times as I make a call to my doctor to renew my prescription for my antidepressants. The idea was to have the color fade in through each image as I try to deal with the problem (making the medical appt., using my standby coping mechanism, candy cigarettes), but unfortunately my candy cigarettes were awful. Don't like how the last panel turned out at all, my face shape totally changes, but I was apparently too lazy to go back and fix it.

Uncorrected Proofs #2



Entitled "Mr. Inappropriate." These are the sorts of things I spend my time doing. Beware.

Uncorrected Proofs #1



I try to be a good parent, but in his adolescence, Charlie Rose tested my patience often. There are times, like playing fetch with a plastic bottle, that make it all worthwhile.
