Blog

Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

Photographing a Lunar Eclipse on 35mm Film

Blog, Photography

If you were to ask my wife why I do all of the hard things I do, she’ll tell you that it is because I can. And she isn’t wrong. I genuinely love to find out about something new, or old that I should be able to do and then spend days and weeks researching […]

Six sixes. Four nines. Three twelves. Two eighteens. One thirty-six. The past year started out with my baby girl turning one. It’s hard to think she’s approaching two so quickly now. We threw her a big bash to ring in the whole year. Two months later she started walking and has been getting fast and […]

Madison, Wisconsin Capitol – Fall 2006

Blog, Photography

I don’t have the usual gallery to share today. However, I do have 20 exposures from a roll of 24 all stitched into a single image. I used my Kodak Retina Reflex S camera with a 135mm telephoto lens, all of which was mounted on a tripod. This was the first roll I shot once […]

High School – Roll 13

Blog, Photography

This is the last of my rolls from my film photography class in high school. Following this class, I had a semester of digital photography which I didn’t enjoy. That class had too much emphasis on Photoshop edits and those aren’t really my thing. These photos, however, are not the last of the photos I […]

I voted


Blog

I just voted. I was at the polling place for a total of seven minutes, half of which was me checking and double checking that I voted right. As I left, I was approached by a woman. The conversation that followed went like this: “Sir, did you just vote?” “I did.” “I have a partisan […]

Writings and such


Blog

I wrote a sonnet yesterday. It isn’t very good, but it is my firt one. I am going to try and write one a week. To get good at them, you know? I will try and post them here. The first one goes a little like this: I know not how to write perfect sonnets, […]

Call me Ishmael


Blog

To whoever posted the first three and some odd chapters of Moby Dick last night, thank you. That was the best spam/comment ever. I finally have some time again, three papers and an exam last week. So I thought I would jump on it and write a little diddy here. I hope the new storyline […]

Wheels and things


Blog

Wheels seem to be beyond my grasp. I have written two papers this week and have one to go. I also have an exam. I am doing quite well, thank you very much. I finally got a night off this week. Just a heads up, I think I am going to take the strip in […]

Three is one too many


Blog

I drank three 16oz. cans of energy drink today within the matter of about three hours. I am good to go. Comments are being diabled on old blog entries here and there due to excessive spamming for those entries. Sorry if you wish to add to those. Though, I doubt anyone will. My lack of […]

Two short means of procrastination


Blog

A couple of items. First, i just want to let everyone know that my comics might start to look a little different. I managed to ruin my second Crwo Quill in roughly two monthes. I have not had time to get a new one, so I switched to a Speedball B-5 which has a much […]

100th


Blog

My post for today is brief. Today’s comic is number 100 in the books. It seems like it took a long time to get here, but its a big hurdle to pass.

Course loaded


Blog

I know I have been going against my golden rule of blogging (maybe two golden rules of blogging). I haven’t posted in a month because I have been swamped with reading for class. As it turns out, taking three english classes in one semester along side two other reading intensive classes is not the best […]

When a comic writer creates a strip for the first time, they need to make a decision. Should they, or should they not age their characters. Off the top of my head I can thing of only three that actually age their characters; Least I Could Do, Funky Winkerbean and For Better or For Worse. […]
