My Bio
I'm primarily a webcomic artist - I do get paid a pittance per strip by one of the student newspapers to run them every day, so I suppose I'm technically a professional, but it is in no way my means of subsistence. Most of what I post here is what I do for fun, though I do occasionally try to keep some particularly good strips in my archives.

I like to experiment with a bunch of different art areas and types, though unfortunately most of it falls in the category of fan art. Sometimes I'll put up a little piece of experimental art using my own characters, though.

Tools of the Trade
Ink and Pencil | Wacom Intuos3 9x12 SE | Adobe Photoshop CS
So the website is up (there's a link down below), and the comics are flowing as usual. I've recently been subsumed into The Herd, as it's called; comics will be at yourmometer.com, ponies will be here. I'm hoping to do one vector of each of the primary characters, and then start playing around with some artistic license-y type stuff. I've never done vector art before, so any tips and tricks you know would be super helpful. I'm using Photoshop, because Illustrator is just one more piece of tech I don't have time to learn...

Comics

0 min read
Well, I promised to do three comics a week over the summer and into next year, but that has come crashing down around my ears since my server has been taken offline with no concrete plans for going back up.  So it looks like instead of putting them up on my proprietary server, we'll be going all-devART all the time until further notice.  Good news for all of you! I'm doing a little experimenting on the style of the strips, so PLEASE feel free to give me critiques - I'm just sort of going with what looks cool, and stumbling upon what looks cool pretty much by accident.  Nudges in the appropriate direction are appreciated.

Viruses... ugh.

So my pee cee picked up a nasty virus last night.  Currently I've got it turned off and quarantined until Erica and I can figure out how to get it to boot from a CD so we can fix it.  Unfortunately, this is going to severely hamper my ability to get comics done... so I might be doing some old-school pen and ink stuff for the first few days of class.  It'll be weird to go back, and I'm not exactly looking forward to that.  I like the 'undo' function. Hopefully I'll be back up soon, and I'll try to remember to put some strips up here as well as at the Badger Herald and my site (which is currently down).  And if I manage to finish my first fora
