Hey, whatever happened to the new comics!? August is a crazy month for me. I’ve got one major major project I’m working on for a big local theater, as well a bunch of projects for smaller theaters and freelance clients. Big changes are in the works over the next month. We’ll see where it takes me. In any event, I’ll be carving out more time for myself and, yes, comics, because I need to or I’ll go insane. But one good thing to come out of all this is a brand new design portfolio I’ve put together for design position interviews. As you can see in the photo above, it’s very sleek and sexy.

Want to flip through it yourself? Click here for an online PDF version. I’ll be updating my design website to jive with this new look soon. But before I do that, I have to finish tidying up around here, because Grab Bag Comics is moving to a new server over the next two weeks. Hopefully, you won’t even notice the move, but I hope to get a better organizational structure going around here, and updated WordPress functionality out of this blog. But enough about me. How are you doing?

Making the case for managing expectations.

It’s been so long since I posted on here, I’d forgotten my password, and when I tried to reset it, I discovered that all my WordPress email was going into my trash. Which I think I did on purpose, cuz all my comments are still being flooded with spam. But here I am!

So here’s a little freelance work I’ve done recently. Still managing like 5 or 6 projects at once, but starting to dig myself out. I’m going to have a comic for you tomorrow, the first of hopefully many to get things rolling around here again. Thanks for sticking around through this big lull period. I love you too.

Yep.

Work has been kickin’ my butt. I finished a website upgrade last week for the theatre company I’m working for, and this weekend I rounded the curve on an original-design website for another theatre company. I’ve got a bucket of logos to design by the end of the month, and I just started rehearsals for the play I auditioned for in this strip. Whoa boy!

The series finale of Lost just happens to fall on my birthday, so I thought I’d invite some people over to my place for a make-your-own-ice-cream-monstrosity-and-watch-the-show party. I drew up this little cartoon for the invite.
Tomorrow: a comic strip!

Man, work is kickin’ my butt and stealing all my time. But hopefully all this effort is going to pay off in the long run. More on that in the upcoming few strips. Also, I know the comments thing on the blog is kinda screwed up, and is a lot about the site right now, and I apologize. But since WordPress isn’t the easiest thing in the world to tweak an existing page around, it’ll be a little while before I get the time to really open the hood and get my hands dirty. Stick with me, we’ll get there. :\

Now I can’t even do that. Thanks a lot, Mr. President Obama. Curses!!

I apologize for my absence her last week. I’ve been working 10 hours days between my two jobs, and I’m working on getting a third one, plus freelance work. It’s ca-razy! Hope you had a good weekend.
