Well, it would be just downright negligent of me if I didn't start things off by whooping out a great big "THANKS!" to my former animation student Heather Chavez for setting up this blog for me.
You see, in spite of the fact that I'm a college-educated professional, I'm still too dumb to set up a blog.
I'd also like to thank my wonderful girlfriend and collaborator Leigh for taking the photo of me doodling... it was taken while waiting for food at Tavern on the Green in New York.
This space will be used primarily for two reasons... 1) To plug art, books and comics I want to sell - and 2) To espouse my unpopular opinions and rant about everything that gets on my nerves (this is, naturally, a lifelong endeavor).
Depending on what type of person you are, there's probably a really good chance that eventually I'll say something that pisses you off... I love a good debate, so bring it on... but if you are - in fact - an easily-offended-politically-correct-fascist-type, you really should just spare yourself the agitation and go back to writing angry e-mails to cable networks and video-game publishers about how they're destroying the fabric of our society blah blah blah blah blah.
But I digress...
Welcome to my shamelessly self-promoting corner of the internet!
ONWARD TO OBSCURITY!!!

Hey John!
Welcome to the insane world of blogging! Oh boy, are they gonna love you!!
I like the first few posts especially the boards.. It definitely says it all. If that doesn't scare young turks from getting into animation, then I don't know what will! Keep it up and post the good stuff!
I'll add a link to my blog so you can get some traffic!
Enjoy!
Thanks, Louie!
Hey, everyone go to Louie's blog and his web-site and everything else... he's got a book coming out soon that you should all buy. I've seen pages from it and it's amazing!
If we all buy his book, he'll have no choice but to make more, and that will - indeed - make the world a better place.
Hey Schletco,
E pluribus BULK 'em
Oooh... a mysterious, anonymous stalker.
Whoever this is has made references to 1) My alter-ego's name in the comic strip I did in college (Schletco) and 2) The comics anthology I did around that same time (BULK comix).
I'll put some of that old stuff up next week... it's marvelously embarassingly bad, so you should all get a kick out of it.
Now you'll pardon me while I go change all the locks on my house...
The greatest of these is chicken coop, but of course only after BULK!!!!!
Well, THAT certainly narrows it down...
It must be Brian or Steve or I suppose it's remotely possible that it's Melissa or one of the other folks I accompanied on the mission trip in which we coined the phrase "Faith... hope... love... and chicken coop... and the greatest of these is chicken coop"
"BULK" was also the battle-cry of our merry little band of oft-chastised (but shockingly harmless) little malcontents - we called ourselves "The Goofball Brigade" and our deeds were silly. Ah, those were the days... so young... so innocent... so long ago before the weight of the world crushed my formerly gentle spirit...
you had a gentle spirit? No, I'm the wrong anonymous writer
Ah-HA... I was right about that dude... it's my old buddy Steve.
Steve is/was one of my absolute best friends - we go way back to Kalamazoo, home-schooling, and all kinds of other nonsense.
Steve and I were known for our shennanigans which - by Kalamazoo standards - were of high controversy (climbing buildings and hanging signs that said weird stuff on 'em and other non-permanent forms of graffitti).
We took a fencing class together in college and we showed up on the first day with two "Nerf" fencing swords (I probably still have mine somewhere) and we were whacking each other with them to the bewilderment of our fellow freshman.
Good times...
