Green Thursdays - Schlurp Lantern

THAT'S A WRAP! Goodbye, Green Thursdays. I won't miss you. And I mean that in the most affectionate way.

Don't get me wrong. I loved drawing and posting these Green Lantern sketches. I especially loved dreaming up the things I'd do with a Power Ring (I'm gonna let you guess which ones are my own personal fantasies!!!). But I'm sick of these doodles. They've been drawn for nearly five months now and it's time for me to move on.

Thx for following along! If you want more stick figure art from moi, don't worry -- there's my weekly Stick Cats webcomic and I'm always posting random stick figures when the mood strikes me.

Darkseid sketch from Free Comic Book Day

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

I was fortunate enough to be invited to hang at Phantom of the Attic Comics yesterday for Free Comic Book Day. I had a great time meeting comic book readers and selling my comics to countless unfortunate victims. (Not to mention giving away over 60 Stick Cats maxi-comics and 45 CDs of the theme song (which I'll post tomorrow)).

One especially unlucky comic book fan won a raffle of my work, including prints from A Deadpool A Day and Green Thursdays... as well as an IOU for a free superhero stick figure sketch.




My apologies to the unsuspecting guy who took home this sketch. Hope you don't hate it! And thx to Seth Fronzoli for the photos.

Green Thursdays - Wig Lantern

Green Thursdays - Wig Lantern

This Green Thursdays is inspired by two different things.

First up is Give Me Back My Wig by Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers. It's a boogie blues song by the masters of funky, sloppy electric blues. Great stuff.

Second up is an experience from my teenage years. Back in the 90s, wig companies used to offer free "wig previews" -- you send them a photo of your face, and they'd use whatever old school image editing program they used back then to make a digital print out of you "trying on" four of the wigs. My friend Josiah sent away for one of those freebies, and I'll tell you what...

He looked damn good in those wigs. My favorite was the curly blonde.
