but i doubt his dates would have showed up anyway. poor gollum.
for drawergeeks.
also- my buddy jeff turned me on to what may be my favorite show right now (until next thursday when lost returns). in case any of you aren’t familiar with garth marengi’s darkplace here’s a clip:
the show is genius- and a shame since it only lasted 6 episodes. but you can catch it at 1:00am every sunday (or is that monday?) on cartoon network.
i just wanted to take a quick moment to mention that a few of my books, including adventures in sandwich making, are now on wowio.com- i believe the first successful e-book downloading site. this is good news to those of you that always wanted to buy my books but didn’t want to spend the money- because every book on wowio is free. yup! free! and yet somehow, i still make a little bit of change every time someone downloads something of mine. of course- i still appreciate those of you that buy a physical copy, but this is a nice alternative. so if you want to help out an artist and make sure he can keep drawing comics and other fun stuff- as well as assure that this great service sticks around- then go and download my books right now! just type in mike maihack into the search field. and thanks!
i got so busy over the weekend that i didn’t get a chance to post the drawing i did for friday’s drawergeeks. i present to you, the mullets!
the subject was rednecks, but i think mine came out a little bit more hillbilly then redneck. i’m actually a big fan of jug band music. there’s a wonderful earthy energy to it all. big fan of the banjo too.
in the spirit of music, this feels like a good time to list what my ten favorite albums that came out in 2007 were. they may not have been the best albums, but they were the ones i found myself listening to the most often. listed in semi-particular order, with no linking because linking takes too long.
if your favorite album is not on there, it means i did not hear it or it’s number eleven.
one of my favorite illustrators, chris sanders, just started a webcomic starring the adorable yet irate kitty above. there’s only two strips so far and i already love it. so does ryan estrada who’s celebrating sanders’ venture into webcomics territory by starting a kiskaloo meme. i was sitting at a presentation today for work and, since i had a paper and pen in front of me, decided to sketch the above for said meme. then quickly threw some color on it because color is pretty.
here’s something i actually drew waaaay back in september of last year but had to wait to post until now. my character for FACA4, Cream and Sugah:
unfortunately she never showed up for the fight. whether she got stuck in line at starbucks or simply got cold hoofs we’ll never know. here she is with her whole coffee themed tag team, Taste Test of Death, with Brewtality (created by Matt Yokom) in the background and our manager, The Mug (Mike Laughead’s brainchild), charging us into battle down in front there:
the team was sent in on time so it’s a shame they never got to fight. but it’s probably good for the other contenders since our team would have ripped them to shreds. >:)
from catching up on everyone’s blogs and journals over the past two days, it looks like it’s that time again. the time to make lists of things! particularly things that happened or came to be in 2007.
something that most of you might not know about me is that i am a chronic, cusack listmaker. i even thought about designing a new blog specifically for the purpose of listing things i like or do not like. but then i wondered why anyone would, or should, care what it is i like. but lists do help me to organize my ever increasing memory of stuff.
i’m going to make this one easy on me though. here are just a few things that made 2007 a great year:
i’m looking forward to this year. my goal is to draw lots of comics. :)
