Pittsburgh Doodles
Sorry I don’t have a finished comic page to post, but here is a sketchbook page for you. I doodled this during Bach, Beethoven and Brunch, a summer outdoor concert series in Pittsburgh. Also, I stumbled onto Jason Turner’s Page 100 Project last week, so look out for a page or three of novel adaptations […]
I’m Ba-a-ack!
I’m back in New York, after signing off the ship on Friday in Vancouver, meeting up with ship-friends for some mid-morning sketchy bowling and lunch, hauling ass to the airport for 10 hours of travel, getting picked up Saturday morning to travel to central PA with my aunt and uncle, visiting with my parents and baby […]
The Alaska Checklist
I really thought I’d find time to post this last week, but Oops. There was lots of stuff to eat, pack, and say goodbye to. Mt. Roberts is in Juneau, riiiiight next to the ship. You can either take a tram partway up, or take the trail up from town (as illustrated above). I really felt […]
Unfortunately Appropriate
Here I am back in Juneau with Nicola, a week later, still grumbling over Comicpress. Erngh. Five days till I get back to New York and bother someone for a solution…
Random ship-nights
You’re looking at the approximate reason I haven’t been posting daily. There have been a few nights where “a drink” turns into looking around wondering why it’s three or eight in the morning. (The next day is mostly spent sitting still in a cafe and hoping I remember to get up early and hike NEXT […]
Good Life Choice
Yeah, when I’m mesmerized by scenery, I forget that there are consequences to walking uphill as fast as possible for an hour and change. The chili’n beer in question was from the Skagway Brewing Company, which I try to hit every time I’m in that port. It seems that just as I’m becoming a regular […]
Side-Job Doodles
I guess on subconscious level I’d been missing hourly wages, customer contact and repetitive tasks, cause I started doing some registration and data entry for the art auction onboard. First impressions: I’ve never seen anyone get so excited about raffle tickets and free pens.
Gangway Duty
One of the things to get used to on the ship is everybody’s obsession with hand sanitizer. I understand not wanting a stomach bug to go around, cause I’ve been on a ship when it’s gone on for a couple weeks at a time. It means extra work for the crew, the ratings go down […]
Alaskan buildings
The top one is the back of a shop in the verrry gold rush-style Skagway, Alaska, and the bottom ones are houses in Juneau. It was so refreshing to draw these after spending days on the New Orleans comic, where I’m drawing everything from digital photos and a year-old script. Drawing buildings on-site was one […]
