Star Trek Fan

I was watching this again for the third or fourth time that night.  Love that movie. I love all the Star Trek stuff. So good. Agh!

Anyways, I'm back. Sheesh. I am at school, now. I am currently waiting for some files to upload to Google Drive to get them from the lab to my house. But I am staying on top of my homework well. I will upload them to my tumblr (inkyphalangies) after I turn them in. There is one up now and I will be posting two more tonight.

So I am not sure where this comic is going. I might turn it more into a daily comic. Sort of, or more than sort of, in the style of Citric Comics by Ian Anderson, a comic I love.

I will eventually do comics about the drive from Seattle to Vermont. Not sure when. I can't find my drawing pad that I took notes in. There's some good stuff in there. Like tracking the things we saw on the side of the road.

Not quite a teapot

I think about this every night before I fall asleep because I often fall asleep with one hand on my hip and one on my head.

Don't forget about the Kickstarter for Awesome Possum, the natural science comic anthology! Next stretch goal at $1400 is stickers for all physical reward tiers.

Spiders everywhere!

So this never actually happened of course, but I fear it of course. Abe stores his rubber boots outside. Well, he did. They are now garbage because we were both scared of how many spiders could be in them.

Accepted to CCS

Our reactions to me getting accepted at the Center for Cartoon Studies, which, if you have not heard, is where I will be attending to get my MFA starting this fall.

Still does not feel real. We are moving across the country, almost as far as it is possible to go, in 2 months. And I still can't believe it. They believe it at work though. Preparations are being made. My job is dwindling away before my very eyes. I kind of wish it had been more abrupt. This is brutal. I gave 5 months notice!

Abe's monkey dance? He does that whenever he is really excited. This is not the first time I have seen it.

Savages

Yay! A real comic! Took me long enough. I have a bunch, but getting them digitized is a problem. Especially with the gray was, as you can see.
Well, if you are in Seattle area, I hope you can come to the Burke museum tonight, June 24, because from 6 to 9, we will have our natural science illustration art show or my class. The guy on this pillow is part of my piece. That is a pillow that you can buy and have in your house. :O
But I think this is the best thing in my shop right now: a corgi iPhone case!

Rabid Squirrel

And I scare all the clients because I am right next to the door of the training room. In our old building, I was hidden away in a corner.

Leaning Tower of Tea Bags

I finally did stop this. Enough people thought I was gross to influence my behavior. (Apparently that number is three.) But I do like looking at them. I drink black tea at work - mostly Irish breakfast - and I love the color of the dry tea bags. Beautiful reds and browns. No one understands me.

Memorial day weekend

So I promised something really cool. This is not it. Maybe next Tuesday. I'm so tired. But school is almost over for the year and I can get back to a regular sleep schedule.
You might also notice on the last panel I have a Dino on my shirt. This is a nod to one of my new favorite web comics, Extra Ordinary, at exocomics.com. I highly recommend you check it out.

The sweats

Eee-yikes. I have never been so gross in my life as that amazing week.

Stupid Macs screwing with my head, man.

Main Street Museum

Wow this place was nuts. I had a great time and really look forward to taking Abe there sometime. Never seemed so much taxidermy in one place before. The concert afterwards was pretty great too, but I have no idea who it was. Forgot to write down their names.

WRJ Art Walk

So sad I was done. It was fun to just hang around in the town. And there really are some amazing artists.

Most beautiful comic

LITERALLY took my breath away and my heart skipped a beat. I was super impressed.

Eating out

My favorite Indian dishes are Aloo Ghobi (potatoes and cauliflower) and Mango chicken curry. Yummers. I want to eat them all the time now.

More cheese

Despite the amount of cheese, my food was actually really good. I loved having an apple and chunk of corn bread for lunch most days. And the muffin and grande tea for breakfast! Yum.

So much pizza

At least it was tasty pizza. Lovely thick crust. Nice tasting sauce. Was looking forward to not eating pizza again for a while when I left, though.

Books!

I didn't even go into the library until Wednesday or Thursday. What a waste! I grabbed a handful of books and even traded with Allie. I read Lucille by Ludovic Debeurme and I think that was the best book of my trip. I started reading Big Questions by Anders Nilsen, too but didn't have time to finish it. I do want to get that book though. They were both fantastic. In fact, I was just thinking about Lucille again yesterday on the drive home.
