Those Darn Neighbors

Please Love Me

Loosely inspired by the song Graceland by Paul Simon.

After much procrastination I finally decided to put the final touches on Boredom Pays 7 last night. It’s the last issue I’m going to do for the foreseeable future so it feels somewhat substantial to finally say “done” to a  series I’ve been working on for the past four years.

It feels somewhat right.

Sadness for Numbness

Sadness for Numbness

This is the last comic for the seventh issue of Boredom Pays (debuting at TCAF!). It’s a little out of context here, as it has been designed as a double page spread and fits in between various short comics that (hopefully, intentionally) string together a larger narrative when read in their intended sequence.

This is also the last autobio strip I’m going to be doing for a while. I know I’ve said that before, but I really feel like I’ve gotten much of what I needed to out of my system with this last issue of Boredom Pays. I’m really proud of it, I think it at least sort of touches on what I was going for.

It’s time to move onto something different

Paralysis

I wrote this back in December on my way home from a Groke show (check em' out - http://groke.bandcamp.com/ - they're awesome!) my pal Evy set up. Not really feeling much of this lately. Been much more comfortable in the communities I interact with in the past couple of months. Feeling "at home", even. As much as I'm able to, anyway. Feels weird to still be drawing stories about.

Boredom Pays Issue seven to debut at TCAF!

So, exciting news, I'm going to be tabling at TCAF again this year. This time around I'm going to be in the small press area, which is great! Mostly filled with local folks who are all very much worth checking out.

So, with that exciting news out of the way, I might as well announce that Boredom Pays issue seven will debut at TCAF! I've been working pretty non stop on it for the past month and I'm really excited with how it's coming together. I think with both the design and content of this issue it's bound to be the best thing I've put out to date.

Stoked on everything right now <3 p="">

Dysphoria - Part 3

Goodbyes

This is a strip I drew a couple of years ago when I was entering a long distance relationship with my former partner, Lisa. Somehow, it never ended up in an issue of Boredom Pays (it was drawn between issues 2 & 3) but I’ve always really liked it. So, since it fits in with the rest of the contents of issue 7 I thought I would re-draw it and put it in.

For curiosity’s sake, here’s the original: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mpb3WiKWZRQ/TEWYZTClIZI/AAAAAAAAAUY/DAEVlS5Avo4/s1600/goodbyes.jpg
