I’m Reading…
…Larry Gonick’s “The Cartoon History of the Universe, Volumes 1-7” that I picked up cheap during a sale at my local comic book store. It’s terrific. I’m pretty sure I heard about Gonick from one of Scott McCloud‘s books, and you can visit Gonick’s website, but I’m curious about Gonick’s own history. I haven’t really…

The River
I spent the day at the river with my dad. (That’s him on the left holding the stick.) Went fishing with live bait. Just look at the size of this monster! Can you spot the frog in this photo? Click on the image for a closer look. Krikey! A lizard lost its tail. (That’s it…

MGS 2, MGS 3, MGS 4, and Me
Why I haven’t been updating; told in a single image: I picked it up the day after my birthday, but, to be fair, I haven’t been playing it very much. What I have been playing are MGS 2 and 3, and I’m glad I did, because I didn’t remember half of the story. (You can…

Birthday
It’s my birthday, today. My mom has been making handmade cards for all kinds of occasions. This is one she made for me. Thanks, mom.

Storm
A storm blew in quickly just a couple of hours ago. I tried to snap a decent shot, but clearly I have a lot to learn. I added the Eggcap Eggs-posed to the sidebar. Enjoy! T.

Art Show Photos
Here are a couple of crowd shots from the show. We had a great turnout; an incredible number of people really. I also have a bunch of shots of the show that my friend Binh took. I’ll be trying to post those in some fashion as well; the image files are huge, but I’d like…

Herocaps Debut
Here it is, the final product, in box. On the left is the Hulk Herocap and on the right is the Eggman Herocap. They really look great. Thanks again, Don, Ryan, Binh and my mom, too, for all of the help. The Herocaps debuted tonight, at the art show at Hot Shops. The show was…

Eggcap Decals
The lack of posts has been due to the heavy workload trying to get Herocaps launched for the art show on Saturday. I’m going to keep today’s post short; it’s late at night and I’m fried from the string of late nights spent scrambling to finish. Both Don and Binh have both pitched in during…

The Mysterious Connection between Indy 4 and Back to the Future!
But first, here’s a look at the finished Indy 4 Fan Shirt. Indy 4 the Movie was a disappointing failure on a variety of levels, but the Indy 4 Fan Shirt looks terrific! Merry, my printer on these shirts, once again did an incredible job; and she’s great to work with. It seems I’m always…

Hokusai
This post is for my buddy Binh, who a few weeks ago, noticed this print while we were eating sushi at Ichiban one night. (As always, you can click on the image for a closer look.) Binh asked me if I knew who did it and I had no idea; I assumed it was anonymous.…

Work Doodle
Well, I reread the previous post, Hellboy Behind the Scenes Doodles, and it is not up to par. I should delete it, but I’m going to leave it up as a reminder to myself not to post late at night. So, in today’s post I’m going to keep things short. Here’s a sketch I doodled…

Hellboy Behind the Scenes Doodles
Hellboy: Behind the Scenes > Hellboy: The Movie. Look of the flick? Fantastic. Perlman and company? Terrific. Abe Sapien? Beautiful. The movie lacked creepiness and subtley. Kronen should have perfectly fit that bill. He should have been in the shadows the whole flick. And when you hear the ticking of the clock, you know that…

Epiphany
Coupla weeks ago. The comic book store; after a few pints. It’s the last place you’d expect an epiphany. Buddy Don is scoping out the Star Wars action figures; I’m whining about work. Don picks up an action figure based on the Ralph McQuarrie concept art. The toys themselves look pretty chintsy, but most toys…

Friday Night Photo
The last time I stopped by my buddy’s place, he had an inoperative microwave taking up space on his counter. Last night I stopped by for a brief visit, to find that he put that microwave to good use: Microwave Endtable! Too sweet. Update: I turned the artwork for Jonesin 4 Indy into a 1024×768…

New Feature!
The Custom Headers Viewer. I added a page where you can view all of the headers that have appeared on screentone. It’s on the sidebar under Pages and About. I took all of the pictures myself! Cropping the originals in this way makes them look way better than they are.

First Look
Ooh, all of you lucky dogs out there are getting a sneak peek! I’ve been working on (well, not so much working on as, mostly thinking about) a new big project for the art show coming up June 7th. Here’s a first glimpse at HERO CAPS…the future of uncollectable collectibles. Don’t tell anyone, but this…

News, Another Post from the Archives
I just got Binh’s Perspective shirt back from the printer, and boy, do they look terrific. (See below for a lengthy post on the process behind the design. It was Binh’s birthday today, so I was able to put a shirt in his hands, which is a great feeling. And he saw the Short Round…

From the Archives
It’s no fun when a blog doesn’t have regular posts; so here’s a couple of sketches from the sketchbook archives.. I used to work at a bookstore that had this great-looking clock in it… Sometimes we weren’t very busy, so here’s the chair I could sit in… It really is a chair; not a stool;…

Process
I had every intention of going to bed early tonight, but I don’t want to miss posting, particularly if I don’t have a good excuse, so I’ve been busy constructing today’s post about the process of putting together a tshirt design for one of my best friends. His birthday is coming up. Process fascinates me;…

Short Round; but More Importantly, A Penguin
Sweet! My friend and bro-at-work, Don, has been making and painting penguins for about a year and a half or so. Everywhere he goes, he sees penguins; then he meticulously paints them, (sometimes with nothing more than a nail, well, and some paint) and shares them with the world. Here’s one he made for me…

Short Round & Quick Time
Last night I attempted to upload a Quick Time video of a very short animated short I made in school, but WordPress wouldn’t let me. I’m going to have to do some more research, it looks like there’s a workaround, but I may not like the compromise. Anyway, until I figure out the problem, here’s…

First Post and an Indy Fan Shirt!
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to a website. There’s a lot of interesting stuff out there, and I’d like to share it, but doing so by email is tedious. Screentone allows me to pluck my notebook from my pocket and share it with the world. Or, at least, the select few who are…
