Here's some stuff I did today instead of working on my semester finals. [Nov. 18th, 2008|09:42 pm]

I like drawing myself with eyebrows, because in real life, mine are next to invisible.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


There are a bunch of new jam comics up from my Sunday jam-comic collective, over on the Trubble Club Blog. My favorite jam of the week (maybe my favorite since we started this weekly get-together) is this one:


Can you tell whose panels are whose?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I'm doing a little studio-cleaning-out, and selling some of my T-Shirts and original artwork. I've never sold original artwork before, as I tend to file it away in my much-loved filing system, and I can't imagine my original artwork looking any good on a wall, but I suppose it might make a nice holiday present for someone, and I could certainly use the cash! Check it out, along with a bunch of my Cheese T-Shirts (also good prezzies!), over at:
My Etsy Shop


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


There's a photobooth strip of John and me, taken this weekend, up on My Flickr Account. Is there ever a photo of the two of us where one of us isn't picking their nose? No. (Did I tell you, John's been posting to livejournal? Hurray! His account name: lividpedro)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Today is my stepdad's birthday! Happy birthday, Paulie!

That is definitely one of (if not the) best comic jams from Trubble Club.

Your lack of work on finals is my (our?) gain!

I think that our generation may be doomed when we start to rely on sources like google and wikipedia. Because we know we can look up the information whenever we want with the simple click of a mouse, our brains have more trouble retaining information as something more permanent. :(

is your panel the.....third one?

That last panel has 'Knisley' all over it.

Just got my copy of French Milk. Can't wait to read through!

I can always guess your panels by your lettering. Is that cheating?

I didn't have eyebrows when I was about five or so, but I REALLY wanted them because I watched a lot of adventure movies (Zorro, Robin Hood, Thief of Bagdad, etc), and all those guys had eyebrows in spades. So I'd draw 'em on with a brown crayola marker. Also, pencil-thin moustaches. My mom would wash it off most of the time, but sometimes I'd get out of the house like that.

Eyebrows are the tops, I'm glad I have some pretty okay ones now.

Man, I'm totally hot for eyebrows, too. I like old Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe and Princess Grace eyebrows; big thick black ones that arch towards the sky and totally don't match the hair.
But alas, I have, like, beige eyebrows. My face is a blank and empty canvas.

I too don't have very prominent eye brows. However about 6 months ago they started going from blond to brown. At the moment half of them are brown and half are blond. It is exciting times.

I discovered your comic through Erika's live show a couple of days ago, and I have to say I love your stuff so... Wow, flowers just appeared while I was typing. Nifty!

...Sorry. ^^; Anyway, I really love your style so far. I've always loved panel comics, such a refreshing change from manga, much as I like both. And this comic, the one you did during your finals? Very interesting and it made me smile. Your brain seems to work a lot like mine, though you probably get tired of hearing fans say that. Anyway, love the work, and I look forward to seeing more! =D

It's the fourth one. The consistency of the linework and the way you drew his teeth is how I guessed ;]

dude, have some of my eyebrows. I have to pluck these bastards back.

Oh lucy, Im going to buy the shit outa your ware's! I might wait for another original or two to pop up and then BAMB, I'll be all over it! I hadn't even realized you had originals up for grabs!

Oh I mentioned it to Erika, and while its sounds like a doomed idea, I was thinking that you guys could do a webcomic, jointly. It would be all fancy and pretty, update twice a week (Erika on tuesdays and you on fridays or something), be all autobio (maybe each week is a different subject? who knows?), and be called the Lucy and Erika show or whatever... I mean its never been done before right? It could be a classy back and forth (maybe not as immidiatly combined as what you guys are doing atm, but still a jointly comic thing)... Well it sounded good in my head anyway =p

I've always greatly GREATLY admired you for doing this. It seems so much work but I think it's a real treasure, and you'll thank yourself later when you read this, and the memories are more vivid and clear than any photo or written diary could do provide. Plus us fans love it! It brightens my day! It inspires to work hard too!

And besides, great practise and hardening dicipline. I salute you!

When I was a kid - and still sometimes now - I used to play this mental parlour game, where I'd try and work back through the thread of my thoughts, to figure out why I happened to have just thought of a particular, otherwise random, thing.

For instance ...

"Why was I just thinking of mer-people? Oh yeah, 'cos I was just thinking about Lucy seeing the mer-people, in The voyage of the Dawn Treader. Why was I thinking about Lucy seeing the mer-people? Oh yeah, because I was remembering when I first read Dawn Treader. Why was I remembering the first time I read that book? Oh yeah, because I was thinking how much this morning reminded me of those summer holiday mornings, when I first read it ..."

... and so on.

Speaking of jam made with honey, you'd love the Chudleigh honey farm, not far from where I live (a little town in Tasmania). It has dozens of varieties of honey: Not just from different plants (i.e. boxwood, leatherwood, bluegum, etc.) but also different blends - raspberry honey, macadamia honey, chilli honey, and my favourite, chocolate honey past. We always go there, if we're passing through.

Oooh, I did the same thing with the memories, except I would always think "Wow, I probably won't remember this in 10 years.." but I still do!

And urgh, thankfully I am also capable of suppressing the embarrassing/negative memories if I chose to do so..

-also has invisible eyebrows, try a light, light tan eyebrow pencil, they work wonders! You'll be able to make faces you never were before! XP

I love your comics so much :) but I can never be 100% sure which panel is yours when it comes to the jam comics! But I'm guessing the last panel in this one? But I'm not positive...anyway, it is hilarious!

Good lord, that alien comic is perhaps the funniest comic I have seen in a long time. It is genius.
