Hey dudes. Here's a silly drawing about losing weight. And flying away.

Here is a comic about the prototype that nobody liked. I drew it today on 100% hemp paper for ECO STONER CRED!

Today I met up with sheridanbee and wonderchook for a meeting of our increasingly hyped Shenanigans Club, where get together every week or so to work on crazy projects such as our robot paintings and peeps diorama.

We considered making a stop motion film but ultimately decided (because we didn't have a script or any solid ideas) that we should make some crafts from recycled plastic bags. We each made an arm cuff and I made a teeny little changepurse. Here's our blog post about it with pics: http://ofbob.com/2009/06/tonights-shenanigan-club/

I have been staying up way too late again this week. I guess I'll shove off to bed now.

Here's something I drew last year, but just decided to redraw and color. I am really not sure if it's funny or not but it makes me laugh :)

Here's something I drew a few weeks ago, but just messed around with in Photoshop and colored last night.

I haven't posted yet this week! I had really lovely weekend in the Shenandoah Mountains with Jim. We drove the length of Skyline Drive, which is way too beautiful, and did some gorgeous hikes. I really need to post some pics.

Then we visited our friend Megan and her parents on their Bee Farm (it's a repurposed cow pasture with a pretty cabin, gardens, and almost 20 beehives). We had a wonderful time and left just before 30-40 local beekeepers all met to have a picnic there.

This week has been pretty quiet. Yesterday I only left the apartment three times for three vices: We went to the chocolate store (yes, there is an amazing chocolate store just three blocks away), the liquor store (we are BFFs with those guys), and the bookstore to buy some sci-fi paperbacks for summer reading.

It's summer, so I guess we just wanna relax.

I drew this on some hemp paper I picked up at Capitol Hemp a few weeks ago. The guy who worked there said the US Constitution is printed on hemp, so if it's good enough for George Washington, it's certainly good enough for this poop illustration.

Tomorrow morning, Jim and I are going to take a romantic trip along Skyline Drive and spend the weekend in rural VA among friends. I can't wait! Time for bed :)

Hi everyone! Here is a new sticky for today.

Hey, I posted a list of all the awesome people I could remember meeting -- or find evidence of having met -- at MOCCA this Saturday.

Here's the list:

(Also created a comics email list if you want to sign up -- that's at the link too.)

Pretty quiet day. I only left the apartment once. Jim is adorably talking of moving to New York City since this past weekend. Who knows, maybe we we'll do it eventually? :)

This weekend I got to attend MOCCA in NYC for the first time. I was there all afternoon on Saturday. I made a little sticky collage print and handed it out to some people, which was really fun!

Then Jim and I met up with my friend Bethany and her husband Marco. It was so nice to see them, and we totally had a blast. I was so sleepy last night. I slept for about 10 hours, and I could sleep more.

Here's a new sticky which I actually drew the week before last or something. I'll do some more drawing today though.



(Chuck Norris? Jesus? The Dude? This is up for interpretation :)

Had a great weekend. Attended the Artomatic opening on Friday, which was crazy ... saw so many people there! Including long-time-no-see LJ friend threnodyeris!

Yesterday we went to my second cousin's wedding, which was long and Catholic but the reception was lots of fun. I have a rockin' family, and while there is the occasional late night drunken drama I wouldn't trade them for anything :)

Today Jim and I just wandered around our neighborhood and had some margaritas. Then I came home and took a Sunday nap. But I suck at naps, so I probably shouldn't have bothered.

I drew these veggies the other day and colored them in Photoshop this evening. I should probably go to bed soon.

Rampage, the love story.

What a day. I think I spent most of the workday trying to defer a significant wine hangover, because it turned out I had a pretty important meeting (whoops -- but I just agreed to attend the meeting over wine last night). The meeting went well, but I am all tuckered out.

We also decided to attend the MoCCA Festival in NYC next weekend, which is gonna be way cool! We are staying with my buddy Bethany in Brooklyn, which is also totally rad, because she rocks. Anyone on my f-list going to be there? Let me know :)

Here's a new sticky for today. Ah, romance.

Hey dudes. Here's a comic I posted to the sticky comics website this morning.

So YES, I am on twitter a lot. You can follow me at stickycomics (for just comics and fun links) or xiann (for the rest of my life, but not all the comics). Or both.

This week is going pretty well so far. Today I skipped out of "work" "early" (these terms are highly subjective for us self-employed people) and met the five members of my family who just returned from Ireland. I hung out with them and generally got in their way. It was fun, there were photos.

Here's a new sticky I drew.

We had two sets of competing travel plans for Memorial Day Weekend last month, but both of them fizzled out. So we stayed in town ... well, we didn't stay overnight anywhere. It's been a pretty fun weekend so far. We saw some friends and spent a lot of time outside. We danced. We even climbed a mountain :)

Here's a comic strip in pencil about making new friends.

It was another day of self quarantine working at home today. Looking back, Jim and I suspect we got sick when we stopped at Friendly's to eat as we drove back up I-95 on Sunday. That place is crawling with germ-infested, ice cream hoarding children.

But I think we're on the mend. Hope to rejoin society tomorrow.

I'm thinking of doing five comics a week for the next few weeks, just so see how it goes.

Hey buddies, here's a new sticky for today.

Jim and I are both kinda sick and miserable today with nasty colds. We stayed home. If we don't get better soon, we'll be able to open our very own snot factory.

I finished this comic strip yesterday :)

This week has been pretty cool and rather busy. Right now I kinda just want to go somewhere and drink several beers. And that sounds like a likely outcome of the day.

Here's something silly I posted today.

Here's a happy sticky.

I had a pretty nice day. But I'm up waaay too late. I guess my eyelids feel a bit heavy now that I looked at the time ...

So I've been talking about redesigning the sticky comics website for more than a month, since the old "design" was really crappy and half broken. I guess I've been working on the new design off and on for all that time. Well it's finally done! So check it out:



Most of the work on this new site was just moving the comics into a nicer structure and stuff. But the WordPress theme I made from scratch (it's based on Sharpie doodles on construction paper) and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!

Now I can get back to other stuff. Like drawing :)
