COMIC BOOK BLOGS DRAWINGS OF TREES
COMIC BOOKS BLOGS Drawings of TREES
Now that the weather is getting nice and hot and finally dry enough for some outdoor sketching I've been making my wayround the city getting some strange ideas down on paper. It's kind of like working the streets but a lot more introverted and a lot less stuff to carry. Got to love the hot summer for people watching, city watching and unusual inspirations...

Comic Book Blogs The Metamorphosis
Comic Book Blogs Gregor's Metamorphosis.
I just can't shake this horrible feeling that I'm turning into something wretched. Life just feels so empty and pointless right now and I can't make any connections with anyone else. I had one friend who seemed to understand me but she just flipped out and turned into a yuppie. She told me I was nothing, just a cockroach and there was no point in my disatifaction with a existence built on slave labor, mass hypnosis and shitty popular culture. "Just accept it! There is no use is yelling and screaming about world!" But if I don't do it, who will? I am so sad right now. At least I'm still a cockroach, it's a far more respectable than being human ...

Comic Book Blogs! The Future of Reading Are Kindles Recyclable?
COMIC BOOK BLOGS "THE FUTURE OF READING!
Some press today about the Kindle ebook out selling paper editions. No big surprise the future is yesterday now and things like this are to be expected. Just a couple questions came to mind though, considering the ever growing pile of computer landfills and the never ending life expectancy of plastics... are Kindle's recyclable? Well apparently if you don't throw them out and go through a number of tedious forms and services you can eventually send the ebook back to the company after you are done with it, but really what are the chances of anyone doing that. The steps involve filling out personal information, printing a UPS free-shipping sticker, packing it and mailing it to the Kindle recycling plant. Wow, maybe a couple of hard core hippies will do it but I doubt that you will. It's very encouraging though (that Orwell's 1984 won't be available due to copyright laws until 2 years after the book predicts all human language will be completely reverted to newspeak lol!) that numerous corporate blogs pomoting the ebook as Eco-Freindly and Green-whatever also have this on their sites ....
As if that's going to stop us from throwing them out...

Comic Book Blogs "SURREAL CITY"
HEY APATHY! Comic Book Drawings And Strange Stories
Inspired by my new housemates who have decided that the no smoking rule doesn't apply to them when a) they think no one else is home, b) they think everyone else is asleep, c) it is raining outside and d) if they have company over despite repeated warnings and a recent notice of eviction if the problem persits. Also a low income housing project that some of my friends from the graffiti street art days used to live in burned down last week thanks to a similiar problem.

Comic Book Drawings & Graffiti Street Art
HEY APATHY! Comic Book Drawings & Graffiti Street Art!
The end of an era, (so to speak) I got a phone call from a long time collector who I met while working the streets yesterday who was wondering if I had any of my old canvas’ left for sale. I used to make a bunch of acrylic on canvas’ works ranging from 8” x 10 “ to 30” x 40 “ which I sold while performing on Queen Street West in downtown Toronto. So I scrambled through what little I art I have stored in my apartment and discovered there are only 4 pieces left. Pretty amazing considering I was cranking out anywhere from 25 and 50 small canvas’ works a week between 2006 and 2008. That equals about 2500 artworks ( mostly 8 x 10”) hanging on weirdo’s walls world wide. And this total does not even include the small prints or ink on paper works I was producing before graduating to the finer canvas’.
It pretty crazy and well feels really good to look back on that accomplishment and say hey those were some damn good times. I’ll never forget one morning when I set up my stuff and this guy with a really thick Australian accent approached me with the following question “ So you just sit here and draw pictures all day?” My response was “Pretty much, here let me tell you about this one …” He cut me off before I could explain it saying “ oh I know all about the City of Gears, I have one in my house in Australia, my daughter bought one here the last time she was visiting.”

COMIC BOOK DRAWINGS and MONSTER ANIMATION
HEY APATHY! COMIC BOOK DRAWINGS & MONSTER ANIMATION
OK this is pretty freakin cool. I am working with graphics designer Michael Peters on a new series of 3D paintings in which we are going to render my surreal cityscapes in a virtual video game style format. These interactive artworks will be projected on the gallery ( any interested galleries out there?) walls and the audience can navigate there way through them using a video game joystick. Er, um, I think this is crazy amazing and the closest I've come to interactive art since I left the streets. More as things develop.
Comic Book Drawings! Everyone's Favorite Webslinger ...
A little bit of childhood nostalgia, this one's for my friends at Whitechapel and absolutely everyone else who is, was, or wishes they still were 10 years old. ( Spider-Man is a trademark/copyright of Marvel Comics but I think it's o.k. to post fan art once in a while)

Comic Book Blogs SELF PORTRAIT metamorphosis
HEY APATHY! Comic Book Drawings
Ok so the last few weeks have been less than inspiring. I've been really, really down. I'll run through my situation quickly just to give any reader’s out there a sense of why I kind of wish the universe would end these days but even worse why I almost stopped caring. 1) ADDICTION: like so many of us I’ve been trapped by addiction for holy s—t 18 years or so now and I just can’t take it any more. 2) MONEY –For the past couple of years I have been financing my projects with the support of various art council granting programs. I thought I was building a future and some strong relationships here but this year after spending 2 months writing essays and filling out forms I received a grand total of $2000 municipally and a glorious go fuck yourself from the Canadian Arts Council, (next year I’m going to draw them a picture of a beaver driving a Newfoundland schooner across a map of Canada) 3) MY SOUL- people keep calling me to do commercial work and I had to take some for the first time in over 10 years, I feel like bloody Winston with my face in a cage full of rats, 4) THE WORLD- I am so stupid that I actually tried to discuss the problems of the world with a group of Americans, I got so frustrated that I turned into as big of an asshole as those people are and virtually lost all faith in mankind. 5) ALL OF THE ABOVE – have put a serious strain on my 6 year relationship and my girlfriend, who was basically my wife, isn’t talking to me right now.
Deep breath, I’m dealing with it all as best as I can. The self portrait at the top of this post is my first drawing in weeks but at least it’s more positive than the one I did near the end of April ( reposted below). keep on truckin , just keep on truckin ...

MONSTER DRAWINGS!
Comic Book Monster Drawings
Addiction can be a monster, this creepy comic creature is made of sugar, tar, and many things bizarre, yet for some reason we keep going back for more .
READ COMIC BOOKS ONLINE!
As I’ve mentioned before my comic book website has been somewhat of the bane to my existence. Not knowing the first thing about HTML or the internet I really struggled to put the thing together. Yes I did it all by my self, which unfortunately means I can’t blame anyone else for the 300 improperly constructed pages I have. DAMN it, well I’ve learned a bit through much mistrial and error and have started to fix the thing with a bit more success. The past few days I’ve been working on re-building my online comics so I though I’d just do this post to re-promote them.
