The Best Laid Plan of Mice And Men Oft Go Offline

InkTank — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 04:36:16 +0000

It seems that life is what happens when you aren’t cartooning. I’ve been holding off on any substantial blog posts out of a sense of obligation that the cartoons need to come first. I feel bad sitting down to type when I should be cartooning. Unfourtnately though, my cartooning time has been coming in short bursts [...]

On A Roll

InkTank — Fri, 22 May 2009 07:01:40 +0000

Oh man, what a great few days. I’ve got the next dozen or so strips plotted out and had a full day today to just do pencils and get things started. I should be able to post strip up to about May 13th or 15th and only be a few behind then. Plus this lays [...]

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Keyboards

Well, I have good news an I have bad news. The good news is that I will be back to cartooning in full force in the very near future. The bad news is because getting laid off in this tough economy has cleared my immediate schedule. Yes, I have indeed lost one of the best jobs I ever [...]

Hey neat, I’ve apparently been named as a finalist for a “Beaky”, a personal list of favorite webcomic sites from the gang over at Webcomic Beacon. You can read more about it here: http://webcomicbeacon.com/2009/04/01/episode-70/ and here http://comixtalk.com/fesworks/webcomic_beacon_70_2008_beaky_awards

Baby Steps

InkTank — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:14:36 +0000

Yeah yeah yeah, the baby is all fine and cute and stuff … but this is about a different kind of baby steps. Thanks to my ever wonderful wife, we are setting aside some time for me to be a “baby free zone” to allow me to focus time on cartooning again. We did a small [...]

Happy Birthday!

To ME! The InkTank cartoon is one year old today. Wow, time really has flown in that time. I had hoped to push forward with a lot of site and cartoon related stuff this year, but it has been a very busy year indeed. 141 InkTank comic strips published (15 shy of a full years worth) 2 job [...]

Spring Has Sprung

InkTank — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:06:41 +0000

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz … I wonder where the comics is? Well, since the baby seems to be settling down into a semi-regular sleep pattern now I’ve been able to snatch a bit of time here and there to get some drawing done. I’ve got a few more pencils to ink and post [...]

Family Guy

InkTank — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:13:39 +0000

Wow, it’s getting to the point that I want to cartoon so bad I could cry. I’ve even taken to carrying my papers and art supplies around with me in my backpack all the time in the chance a drawing opportunity pops up. The wee Inkling is doing well, but my daily schedule consists of getting [...]

Yarrr! Prepare Ta Be Stacked!

Oh, what an exciting day for a Lego lover. As me and the family strolled the mall yesterday, we wandered into (if I drag everyone, it counts as “wandering”, right?) the Lego store. Now, I’ve not gotten any Lego sets for a while (at least over a year) but I still like to peruse and [...]

If You’re Afraid Of Being Ripped Off, You’re An Amateur

InkTank — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:00:55 +0000

I attended the Screenwriting Expo a few years ago in L.A. Thousands of screenwriters (and hopefuls) flooded the airport Marriott in an attempt to soak up knowledge (and sponge off contacts). One session I wandered into was a real eye opener. Not so much for the topic, but because of what one panel member said: “If you’re [...]
