Baristas








Okay, from the top, some of the current and past latte-slingers at the Mudhouse, Charlottesville. They put up with me, and everybody knows my name.

Anna, JT, Megan, Hunter, Montana (retired), Phil, Eric, Laura, and Selena.

At some point, I'll get to the rest of you, if you ever slow down enough for me to catch you in ink.

The Great Deluge













The dam bursts...














Part 1 of...more than 1. There's more than one.

Uh-oh.

Ocasionally, I don't feel like drawing real people on napkins. Sometimes I feel like drawing an entire kindergarten class, with teachers. Sometimes I don't feel like getting up to get another napkin, so I just keep going longer than I should.

Nothing really. Just Superman, in jeans and Wellies, cleaning his fingernails, under the watchful and protective eye of Krypugto, the Superpug.
And a Moebius pastiche, because I felt like it. Walker-toad has four legs, if you didn't catch it.

A year of animals

For Christmas, I made my family calendars. Given that my family is made of pet owners, vegetarians, biologists, and oceanographers, I created animal-themed calendars. One for every month. In time for...mid-February, here are all twelve images, in order.January. At least someone got snow.

February: the month where everyone wants to sleep in.
March: the month that, like it or not, everyone associates with the color green because of Irish fairies.
April is rainy. I ripped this off of Peter de Seve. No one does animals better.
May: Oh yes, my family also avidly gardens.
June: Everyone travels to somewhere else on vacation, and annoys the people who live there and aren't on vacation.
July: a cat and an Indian elephant for the Indian guy who likes cats.
August: the dog days of summer. The terrified days of fish.
September: some people like ants. Ants are hard to draw.
October: putting on fat for the winter.
November is fun, even for vegetarians.

December: it's very cold and dark, and it makes people sing.

"Mom! Look! It's Santa, mom!"

So my X-mas cards are almost ready to go out. Anyone who isn't in the publishing industry who might want one ought to contact me about that.
