I had my wisdom teeth pulled Thursday. I can't believe I saved up for this. Anyway, I wish I could say that I didn't just sleep a ton and watch French movies but I DID. I also made this series because I am broke and I can't afford to buy very good presents for friends/family. I made them on watercolor postcards and I will scan them all for you.... TOMORROW.

Until then, ENJOY MY CONCEPT.

2011-11-30T12:19:00.000-08:00

I have been doing .5 x 2.5in comics for last page of The Mercury. I am perfect for this assignment because I love a challenge.

I'll be posting them here for people who can't pick up the print version.

Hey girl,

Thanks for teaching me that it might not be such a bad idea to plan to murder people, not murder people because it would be more advantageous to become a dragon rider instead, be the fucking best at something, lose my virginity to a dude on a boat that i'd never see again, get tan once but not make a habit out of it, save the world etc. You're alright.

2011-11-21T11:49:00.000-08:00

I prefer my own versions of songs, sang to myself in the wind and rhyme and game. But in order to make a version of More Than A Woman, a woman must first listen to More Than A Woman. Get in your brain soup and think about the Bee Gees.

And finally, the same song but different and with computer generated motorcycles and Aaliyah.

I knew this man and he was always pretty unsatisfied with me and everything I did. But I really liked him and the comics he put out. He was my mentor. It was his job to be unsatisfied with me. He was to me what I am often to other people, calm and laughing.

Going Home

2011-08-14T15:03:00.000-07:00

I went home and it was the same as it had always been. I felt the same as I'd always felt. A certain strange ownership over space. It's funny to say, "this is still mine. If anything has ever been mine."

Besty Kinkreet

2011-08-10T23:58:00.000-07:00

I feel like if someone tried to say I was a nerd for liking Tekkon Kinkreet I would fall upon them like a rapid wolf that loves art. But I do think doodling Betsy and I in Black/White poses is pretty fucking nerdy. I'm a nerd of love.

2011-08-10T14:05:00.000-07:00

Some of you know that my pretend wife lives abroad, in Amsterdam. The time difference can be pretty brutal because she's nine hours ahead. Yesterday we tried silent video chat at the office. I sit with my back to the rest of the office so I feel it must look pretty strange, especially when I forget to turn off vid chat and she tells a boy I like him.

Blanket Days

2011-08-07T20:07:00.000-07:00

One of my pals is having a rough time. I thought immediately that what someone should do is take him to the bluffs or Mt. Tabor, set him at a 45-30 degree angle/incline and wrap him in a heavy Indian blanket. I know how to deal with these situations because I've watched a lot of films. Movies teach us how to live.

This comic is about the first time self hypnosis worked for me. It happened to be during a viewing of the film Andrei Rublev. I showed this comic to this wise-ish instructor of mine and he said he'd heard of people who thought Andrei Rublev had meditative qualities and were using it for meditative purposes.

Wolverine Completed (me)

2011-04-20T16:36:00.000-07:00

One time my co-worker seemed a little down so I printed out one of Julia Gfrorer's Wolverine paper dolls and left it on her desk. She ended up constructing it and giving it back to me for my birthday. Therefore this thing I show you now has very little to do with me. I am simply curating it for you. Enjoy:

Wikked sick over here, dudes. During my brief hiatus from sickness and pain I worked the IPRC table at Stumptown Comix Farts. I had a really fun time and bought everything I could think to buy from my favorite writer of late, Julia Gfrorer. I bought a new copy of Flesh and Bone, the comic she did for Sparkplug last year. Flesh and Bone is just, hands down, one of the best things I've ever read. Or. Well. It says a lot to me about my life. She has a new comic about ethereal spirits that have sex with humans and the sort of pain that can arise from trying to share a laptop with your lover, top notch.

2011-04-12T17:21:00.000-07:00

One last joke about Achilles's horses!

Jacob and I go to school together and he says he doesn't care if I put him in my comics.

Achilles's Parakeet

2011-04-07T20:37:00.000-07:00

Did you know that Achilles had immortal horses? And that when the horses found out he was going to die they started crying? Inspired by these events:

Jacob misread the word "any" in the first comic, which led to the re-write.

And because these were such hastily drawn things. Here's a nice one of him in class:

Here's another batch of teamsuzette from the newspaper. I think they almost looked better in b/w.
I have decided that after I'm done with one more comic about beards I'll let it rest. I just want to gouache a couple of beards and then I'll leave it alone for good.

This one was about a really amazing piece of junk mail for the Get Motivated tour these assholes did.

This one was for VALENTINES DAY.

rickroll

2011-03-13T16:38:00.000-07:00

These men. They learned to do it in a notebook. I learned to do it whispering to another girl in the dark. I need a girl and a cabin.

In my imagination people somewhere say, "rickroll," instead of, "I love you."
Meaning, "I trick you into listening to my romantic declaration?" Leave it.

This is a throwback to a made for TV movie about the Kennedys where Jackie calls after her husband and he replies, "Likewise!" My mother said he was an asshole but what he really seemed was succinct. Rickroll.

My jaw hurts.
Have you ever been having a piece of wine or a gentle lady's drink around some character you realized was probably trying to lock you up in his villa? Flash forward to Sherlock Holmes and his crew stumbling upon your crazy red-haired self, flopping around in the autumn leaves.
"Good god, he got her drunk at a party and now she's crazy in this pit."

I know, when I was telling Nick this story he thought it was a depressing story too.

I just wanted to say that's how my jaw is behaving this week. Tons of work. Tons of remaining cool under pressure. Anemic. Carrying furniture in high heels. Vitamin C capsules and grown women tearing up. Baby girl. Here come the marches of molars inside my mouth. Like those South Dakotan buffalo when I was a young girl, already aware of the speech of prairie dogs. I was trying to get these animals to adopt me. And lone on that yellow plane, my striped self and those distant creatures, falling down the slope towards me. That's what is going on in my mouth.

Body, I need you to support me during the, "tough times." But I say that with all the selfishness and immaturity of my heart.

Antonia says, "Well, you can't be that far gone if you're still making comics."
I reply, "I feel great. Just insanely tired. I fell asleep while I was photoshopping that. I haven't had the crazy head jerk nod offs since high school."
"Sounds like you're doing it right."

THEN: Cat Visits Deer Every Morning
AND: I misread this article's title and thought it was about long-nosed superiority. Still cool.

SO: "The men and women in the experiment, after being primed with quick flashes of words like “lust” and “kiss,” were shown a series of photographs and other images. The single men and women in the study couldn’t help staring at photographs of good-looking people of the opposite sex [...] but the people who were already in relationships reacted differently. They looked away more quickly from the attractive faces.
[Then] the researchers subtly made it difficult to pay attention to the attractive faces. Both men and women responded by trying harder to look at the forbidden fruit. Afterward, they expressed less satisfaction with their partners and more interest in infidelity."

This makes me want to run down the street with Vogues under my trench coat. "PSST!"

Panache Blanc

2011-02-21T17:06:00.000-08:00

If you forget everything you do as soon as you do it, you will be living like I do. I've forgotten the comics I made last week. The girl can't help it. There is so much to be done.

F Scott said, "Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues."

Pick one.

I have, for some time, wanted to start an artistic collective devoted to self-defined purity. Perhaps we will call this Panache Blanc. Perhaps I'll just make a comic about it. Perhaps I'll just be in it alone or wherever I am and with whatever people are around me. Virtues.
I saw a short film by T. Jannson this weekend. More lamps, what a bastard.

Move with intention.
