I still love you even if I don't act like it all the time.

Dear Internet,
I am sorry that I have not updated at all this week. I have comic pages sitting in my notebook right now... I just need to ink them. But instead of inking and scanning them I have been focusing on trying to get into Graduate school.
I am also taking the GRE on Tuesday... It is more of an annoyance than a stress. The math is all generally pretty simple, however, the questions are all very circuitous and misleading. But that is a whole different post in itself.
Anyways, I am sorry for not posting more comics, but I should probably focus on my real life future at the moment instead of my comics future.
Remember this comic?! I hope so. I am sorry for the lack of updates for the past week. :( I tried to make myself feel better by saying at least I posted some illustrations and t-shirt designs, but I still feel very guilty for having neglected this web comic. This is good, because if I feel guilty about my lack of updates it must mean that I am actually really starting to feel some real feelings for this comic. I originally just started making this as an exercise, to just start making pages without much editing, try to keep things simple and try to keep to a regular schedule. I may not have been the best at keeping to a regular schedule, but I have been doing sort of ok for the most part. I am really starting to look forward to the time I spend thumb-nailing and jotting down ideas for a page, and I really am starting to enjoy writing and developing these characters... I think I have a few of them well developed enough in my mind now where they are really just kind of writing themselves.
Now all I need to do is be a little more consistent about coloring pages... :p
p.s. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! and I hope everyone had a happy election day, I know I did.
I have been making a few t-shirt designs. These are possible t-shirts for an improv troupe called the unusual suspects. What do you guys think? I have been thinking about maybe putting something up on threadless, but I am afraid of having my dreams crushed.
I really like this one... but I am afraid that it is too busy. I am going to work some more on it and try to simplify it, but keep it exciting!
I made a picture of myself, Nic McPhee and Brian Ohs riding on top of a mystical Geneticorn. Huzzah!
This picture was made to go along with this article about Nic, Brian and myself. We won a really big fancy award in Italy for talking about super complicated science things... you know, the kind of things that might bring about the destruction of the world by the accidental creation of sentient Terminator death robots.
Yes! 3 pages this week! This is the conclusion to the bird story arc, and I am really happy with how this page came out. I am kind of thinking of increasing my web page size to be 600 pixels wide instead of 500. Also did anyone notice that on the last page I started drawing real hands?
Sorry for no coloring. You will notice that this is actually page 27 instead of page 26. Page 26 is still in the works, but it is just some more awkward moments with birds and Applenose.
Also remember that jimmythechang is awesome. I am going to keep posting to his LJ every once in a while, I encourage you all to go yell at him and tell him to start making more comics. It would make him eternally happy to have you harass him.
