Sketch from Obama’s State of The Union Speech 2010

January 28th, 2010 | by T. Andrew
Posted In: Blog

Well, it took longer than I should probably admit to get an acceptable likeness, this is from last night’s speech. There are plenty of political cartoonists who have arrived at excellent caricatures of our Commander-In-Chief, but I noticed when drawing him realistically if you get just one line wrong, it can somehow be wildly “off”… [...]

Punch Wish List

I really don’t mean to slam the entire industry of home improvement service providers for the miscalculations of one individual, but it gets under my skin being in a deadline-driven field myself. That an individual is able to miss promised milestones and do incomplete or sub-par work is a particular pet peeve. Today’s strip took [...]

Exploring Webcomic Workflows: Part 2

January 22nd, 2010 | by T. Andrew
Posted In: Blog

I’ve been meaning to write a follow-up to my initial post of webcomic workflow for some time now. It may be that I over-complicated my task and hand, and I’ve been so busy because of it that it held up writing this post! In a nutshell: Illustrator is out of the mix: It quickly became [...]

Anti-Social Networking

Meh, I’m more of a Twitter guy. But I will admit my birthday last Friday generated quite a few well-wishes from friends from the various chapters of my life: present, past and very past. And if that doesn’t get you thinking Facebook is worthwhile, you’re probably a lost cause. Thinking about what to get me? [...]

YouTube for Newbs

It’s amazing to me how many people feel entitled to watch YouTube at work since it came onto the scene. Maybe it’s a generational thing, but I equate it to watching TV. When I do check in to the ‘Tube, it’s exclusively from home – even though I’d certainly get a better frame rate at [...]

Why Are You Saying “Whipped” Like That?

I trust all your resolution-inspired diets are going well. I realize now that I’m in a long-term love affair with cookie dough ice cream and if I ever had a doctor tell me to lay off, I’d get a second opinion. And I know Moose tracks is made up of chocolate ice cream. But really, [...]

Fort Hood Victim: Russell Seager

January 1st, 2010 | by T. Andrew
Posted In: Blog

Russell Seager, 51Racine, WisconsinAs I wrap up this small tribute to the brave men and women killed by a troubled fellow soldier in a place they should have been safest, I feel doubly saddened that this little project has come to an end. Then I realize the cold, hard truth that there will be other [...]

Happy New Year

Posted In: Blog

Happy New Year! Time to look at last year’s post and see how I fared: Create ashcan sample of original graphic novel. Attend NY Comic-Con to assess market. Working avidly on this as a remedy to the frustration of not drawing much by hand in 2008, my eleven complete pages are a good sample of [...]
