I just uploaded a new Holiday Mix CD to share with friends and family!


DOWNLOAD: Yaytime for Christmas! 2009 Holiday Mix.

It includes nerdy stuff like a song from the Doctor Who Christmas special and classic Sesame Street.

You can also download my previous two holiday mix cd's in the Holiday Mix Archive.





I can't get enough Christmas music, so if you've got your mixes definitely send them my way!

This one might take a little longer to load, so make yourself a cup of tea while it's loading. I upped the image quality since the episode is so dark, so it's a bigger file than usual. Just in time for Christmas! Nice!

I drew this comic on scott kurtzes's cintiq. it was my first time really sitting down and using one, so it was kind of neat!



You can actually watch me draw it on this recorded ustream where scott, kris, and others talk about kickstarter. I mostly laugh a lot and draw the comic. I act like Glenn from the Tom Green Show, basically.

After the comic was done, I just sketched a bunch so here is all those damn sketches (scott came in and sketched too, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND HIS!)

( big sketches underneath the cut!! )

Five hundred pages of Order of Tales are on the site today! Still have a ways to go, too. We're at the 'way-room' on the pillar that leads to the Tower City. The pillars are so tall that these rooms are in place for people to stay as they're climbing up them. I like the idea of these massive, mysterious structures, and I think it's pretty hard to convey the sense of SCALE that I have in mind in comics.

The next short story is over half paid for, at 159 of 300 USD as I write this. It will probably be paid for before I finish drawing it. There is a possibility that I have given myself too much work, but it is at least work that I really really like.

I've been reading a bunch of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian stories from the 1930s. They are really very fun stories, and it's surprising how varied they are, for all dealing with the same character. I love the idea of a bunch of loosely-connected stories dealing with episodes throughout one character's life... I think this is sort of what I'd like to do with some future short stories about T-O-E and Cal.

I know, I know, this isn't new news, but here is my official announcement:

After six years, December 28th will be the final DAR! strip! Yay!

I'm so, so grateful for all the wonderfully positive things that have come into my life as a direct result of this comic and I am even more excited to focus my energy on my completely new projects.

It's all in the above link, but I just wanted to say 'thank you' again.

Thank you to everyone who has been reading my dumb little journal comic for the last six years. Thank you for buying my books. Thank you for writing me kind letters. Thank you for supporting me.

I'm so happy to have had an audience to share my life with and I hope people will be just as excited as I am when my new projects launch.

So thank you again and yay!

Man, I am fucking stoked :D

I have a new minicomic I made for my Graphic Novel class this semester. It's not even a Hardcore Dan book!



It's about The Fort, an abandoned factory that my friends and I used as a hangout spot.
I am working on some new projects that are pretty interesting, and hopefully I'll put some art from them up here soon. Meanwhile here's a sample page from the fort comic:



a lot of the photos in the book as well as much of the graffiti in the background (including the design on the cover) come from one of my best buds Nick ska124174. He has been a friend of mine for longer than most.

Also, as of today, I am done college! Dang!

Hello,

Marian is off on island adventures and I'm home-- staying up all night to meet a cover deadline.
Here's how it came out:

It's for the issue that has a board game as part of the story--so the idea
is you can cut out different characters from the front and back cover to play it with.
I'm happy with how the price tag on this one worked out.

I just switched to larger paper for the last 30 pages of the book.
Im drawing it 2 inches bigger.
Hopefully it'll add some je ne se qua to the end of the thing.

Here's the first page of issue 12. (still the old size paper)
ass and hummus--


And a page out of my sketchbook.
on the left is me in Marians dads sweater that I refuse to take off in this icy cold
canadian weather.


Here's a KC drawing the late great Mike Wieringo did after the first book came out.
This picture was/is a big deal for me.
he drew Joe so good looking and the cat so surley.


I was reading an old Moebius interview he said "being an artist you have one foot
in eternity and one foot in the real world."- made it think about what of your work gets left beind after you're gone. As much as I might just leave the world a million fart puns richer--
It's exciting to think about. Like how much personality Bode put into his one page strips
this stuff sticks around.

anywayy--I've been looking at a lot of Ronald D-pi Wimberly's stuff this week. That dude makes such cool pages. I like these pages from a Jessica Abel story he drew.
man, that logo--

soo good.
The rest of it's here:
http://d-pi.com/dtv/graphix/short-cuts/the-beautiful-ones/

And I ran into these pages from World Apartment Horror. I guess it's a manga adaption
of a live action Otomo movie that another artist drew. I know very little about it but I like the pages.


Here's the first chunk of it in Italian:
http://www.nonsolomanga.it/manga2/otomo_wah.htm

and some pages from a collection of short stories called presentforme.

I like dude's parachute helmet. Even if its not too efective.

more of it up here in Chinese
http://comic.131.com/content/58/175/1.html

And here's a drawing of a cat that I thought was cool.


And I ran into this crazy shit in an old Shonen jump.
so -this menacing dude shows up to show off his incredibly well trained bats.
and how does he repay them?

what a dick. bat eating dick.
This is the type of shit I imagine goes on at burning man.

And here's a Tintin parody from a 1990 Watson Portello comic called Inferno.

I like seeing tintin with a beard.

And here's some Somerset Homes pages that I liked the layouts of.
It's cool to see storytelling being played with this much in this style.



and here's another Japanese dune picture. the David Lynch stuff.
I always think of this version when I think of Dune--
man that Baron Harkonnen looks even grosser in that middle drawing.
like sun burned boils.


and some rad Birth tape covers.


and captain futureee with his front heavy space shark.


Aight--Ive been up way too long.
sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bigger Readable Size

Oh my fucking god, my heart is completely bursting.

This is a comic I received from Sam and Joe this morning (regarding this week's comic) and I think it's safe to say it's made my whole year.

They don't have a website I can direct you guys towards, but obviously they are exploding with talent and I can't wait to see what else they come up with!

I'm having fun with this setting, weird as it is. The fairly simple, geometric design of the pillar is something that's interesting to play with... Showing it in different ways so that it becomes a more abstract thing. I hope that this sequence of climbing the pillar doesn't seem too awfully long for those of you reading with every update! New things will be seen soon. Also, on Wednesday the 500th page of OoT will be online.

I have come to the conclusion that the NEXT short story will feature Huff, a character that appears very briefly in Rice Boy, and about which I still have a bit to say. It will be put online when 300 USD of donations is reached, or when I finish drawing it. Neat!

Hey have you read the latest little comic by Yuko and Ananth at Johnny Wander? It is called 'Delilah and the Basilisk,' you can start reading it right here, and if you don't like it then I think there is probably something wrong with you.

This week I talked to a bunch of students at Asheville High School about comics! I gave the same talk to six classes and it was actually super fun. High school students seem to have gotten a lot cooler since I was one.
