waxing my mustache

hey dickheads!

i've been farting around with some 3" pillar candle wraparound labels for my stepmom's new beeswax candle business. pretty fun!!

also, broken pencil magazine is awesome. why is it awesome? like you even have to ask, JEEZ...
they just released their 50th edition of the magazine, and it's pretty awesome. not only do i have an illustration in there, i got a little bio printed on the contributors page.
see?!

AND, i got a really really REALLY awesome review of ted bear by the splendiferous matthew daley.
SEE?!

oh, also, i got my mustache waxed a couple weeks ago.

so, good news all around.

i'll have "ted bear in condom capers" at canzine next sunday (the 24th) if you want to take a peek and maybe throw down a small handful of dollas for it, along with a whole new batch of "ted bear in bare season", as well as the rest of the minicomic cavalry!

TCAF 2010

hey guys! are you ready for a lot of images and stuff?

if you said yes, you're in for a treat. if you said no, shut the hell up and let me get on with it, okay?

as you probably know, me and my straight life partner/roommate/fellow uterus parade-er britt have a table at TCAF this weekend, table 122 to be exact, and BOY, are we excited about it. look at my face. cant you see the monsterous levels of happy in and around my face?

you should check out THIS INTERVIEW that got posted on the national post site about it!

first of all, i have made a new minicomic that will be exposed for the first time at this years tcaf, and i'm pretty excited about it! it's called "ted bear in bare season", and it's about a bear who's never experienced.. uh... lets call it, the taste of fish...

here's a peek at ted as a wee baby:

and dudes! we put together a mini of the weeklies we have been writing and posting on the UP blog since the fall! seriously, i'm not even kidding...

we've also made up these wicked matchbook style notebooks smothered in terrible drawings by britt and myself, and let me tell you they are SWEET.

i also have a bunch of 5x7 and 8x10 original paintings if anyone gives a damn. mostly they are for decoration cus i suspect no ones wants these things.

but wait! there's more!

(no way)

yes way! vinyl stickers, aint that swanky...

and of course, i've reprinted everything in my minicomic cavalry, laminated more bookmarks, and squeezed out more love all over these things in hopes that someone will take them home with them. sorry if some of them are a bit sticky. my love is viscous.

so hopefully i will see you guys there! it's gonna be a swell weekend of hanging out with friends, some of which i've never met before, and drinkin beers. oooh the beers...

ps- we have a couple of buds staying with us this weekend: our good pal phil mcandrew and a mister ryan pequin, whom we've yet to meet. lets hope we dont end up dead in our own freezer before the weekend is out. #foreshadowing

what is "sleep"?

TCAF is a short 3 weeks away, and i have begun to dramatically cut down on my sleep in preparation.

here is a peek at what my main project is for the festival, a brand new mini!

i dont want to give too much away, but lets just say, this bear doesnt catch many fish.

and whoa now! did you say you wanted vinyl stickers?! you didnt? ... oh... well it's too late now cus i already bought them...

shit.

not only am i looking forward to sitting at a table all weekend while people give me disapproving looks, i get to hang out with a TON of people that i have grown quite fond of, some of which i havent even met yet. perhaps poutine bot will stop by to say hello...

(the day before) hourly comic day 2010!!!!

i am a xerox

200 minicomics later...

that's right. i print shit, and it comes out from the many orifices in my body.

i painted bacon stains all night. can you spot my laptop? 

sweet jesus

holy update day, for reals pals. 

sorry about my absence but i have been so busy with gallery pieces and minicomics and 24 hour comic day and apartment hunting and bike riding and folding and stapling and eating and pooping and LIFE.

...my bad.

first of all - things are coming along for a fantastic gallery show that i have been given the honour of participating in. here's the deets:

second - you should come and pop by the rage this saturday. "why would i want to do something boring like THAT!?" you may ask. well, for one, I'LL be there, so its guaranteed to be wicked ass cool. and second, kym howe will be there. she makes things out of stuff too, and we are going to jive it up at the rage and party down in the sun. 

DEETS

third - these minicomics are lookin swell. i have printed two of them in a run of 5o each, and i am printing 2 more comics tomorrow. here's a sneaky peek at the two that are done:

tasty tidbit: i just finished the covers of the inanimate objects comic. it's a hand carved lino stamp of wonder and india ink. so there.

i mainly printed these out to sell at fanExpo with britt, but i think i will sell them on the internets and perhaps at a couple retail locations if anyone will let me. time will tell.

fourth - speaking of comics, britt and i did a 24 hour comic day in which one start and complete a 24 page comic in it's entirety, including brainstorming, rough layouts, and final execution. we both failed to meet the deadline, but we got some SWEET COMICS out of the deal, so expect to see those in print too in the near future...

and finally, fifth - keep an eye on ickilip for some awful awful things. it's getting really gross...

the most latest c/o phil mcandrew. shame on you, phil...

anyhow, more to come soon.
