My Girl Friday

Isla-Sketch.jpg

…and you thought I’d never participate in GIRL FRIDAYS! Well, I say ‘balls’ to you, naysayer! I may lack the power or will to assemble a HorCast but at least I can still muster the ability to sketch my girlfriend! That and drawing her nets me points…

Almost made it…

Bah.

So close. But… it’s still Friday on the west coast…! Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I’d almost feel guilty if it weren’t for the piss-poor showing from all my horhaus compadres, including the scoundrel whose idea this was in the first place.

I speak, of course, of these ‘Girl Fridays’

No matter; this week we have a rawk grrl. Inspired partly by a random web photo and partly by a famous cover by a famous Mexican American with a thing for spaceships and matters of the heart. You know the one.

Track of the day: Better Safe than Safari - Thunderbirds Are Now!

Iranian Beauty

Just the thing to wind down with after a long and nasty day of gruelling illustration work. Completed somewhere around sunrise.

Track of the day: Birds Chirping - Birds

Introducing Girl Fridays

Karl and I discussed the idea of doing more themed sketches for the site and ‘girl Fridays’ came out of it. It’s all very complicated: every Friday we’re going to post sketches of girls.

The double entendre is all his.

Horcast Update - Tak Attack!!!

The HorCast is back today featuring a chat with acclaimed illustrator and chef, Takeshi Miyazawa! Click on over to the latest episode of the HorCast and listen to Tak go on about dressing characters, his online strip, ‘BFX’ and how his love of all things culinary might one day steal him away from comics!

Girls Kissing

Yesiree. Step right up, getcher girls kissing right here.

I was wondering about how best to tease about this project. At least I was wondering, until I stumbled across this on my collaborator Chris Butcher’s blog, saw the light, and promptly ripped him off.

I mean what better device to raise comic-fan interest than a little girl-on-girl action?

Man, the hits are gonna be through the roof now that I’ve typed that…

Track of the Day: Chickfactor - Belle & Sebastian

Suspicious Ranger

Find him in the new Forgotten Realms supplement Champions of Valor, out now from Wizards of the Coast. You can also find him in the Dungeons & Dragons section of my gallery.

Track of the Day: My Angel Rocks Back and Forth - Four Tet
