hey hey,

so i’ve mostly been updating at my tumblrs these days (re: YEARS), but have been realizing that i should find a way to use this URL if i’m gonna be paying for it. portfolio site? who knows. for now, some shitbag sketches from last month…:

total discard on this one, unfortunately…

…so yeah, most of that’s this month. some isn’t.. whatever. most of this makes me want to vomit looking at it, but if you even marginally like any of it, check out some of my comix i’ve been doing at plasticsouls.net ?  also, most of my art’s up at mmmmmikes.tumblr.com . OK, time to post next month’s story and get onto trying to make something i can look myself in the mirror about for more than 5 minutes..

the best of what i ran with

…hey, ain’t been around for some time. shit was hectic, but things have been steadily getting better for some time. plenty of announcements coming up.

first, gonna try and fix all the broken links this week, and at least make this junkbox presentable.

real shit probably ain’t gonna come for some months, until after I get someone to do the Plastic Souls site for me.

anyway, some oldness I got lying around:

…i’ll shoot to put up more this week as i tinker under the hood. some snaps of new pages, some old shit, and otherwise.

lates!

Comics: The List
Here is a list of my personal favorite comics stories in no particular order. My choices are based as much on mastery of narrative form, as on originality of conception. Each of them appear to have been impelled by an inner vision; they are not comics inspired by other comics, but rather by dreams, obsessions, yearnings.

I remember the last time I saw this article was when i got this issue of AWN randomly from my dad (pre-internet everything! yes!) . I’ve read over half of it now; I think I’d only read Hard Boiled at the time, and damn if it still isn’t the best to-read list I’ve ever seen assembled.
