careless wish?
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Today’s the last day of the con…I bet Brian is wishing it could go on forever. Speaking of wishes, what’s this all about?
a face in the crowd
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I bet Brian’s having a big old time, thinking he’s all cool hanging out on the west coast. But he’s really just another face in the crowd. Like this guy…wait.

aiming at the stars
Friday, July 27th, 2007Brian wants you to believe he draw outer space. But don’t be fooled. That’s confetti. He can’t even draw stars right.
What a loser.

Giant Robot Down!
Thursday, July 26th, 2007While Brian is in San Diego, he left me to update myself. Brian hates technology. I can tell by the way he draws DEAD ROBOTS.

Heading west, young man.
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007For the next week I’ll be in San Diego at Comic-con. But my blog will update while I’m away. It’s that smart.
reflecting the true and beautiful: personal reflection
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007Recently I read C.S. Lewis’ Surprised by Joy, the autobiography of his early life up until his conversion from atheism to Christianity around the age of 30. As I mentioned to several people, this book made everything in my life seem to me to be utterly trivial. Whereas my childhood was filled with [...]
He who is slow to anger has great understanding…
Monday, July 23rd, 2007…but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.
If only Voldemort were to blame.
Harry Potter and the last book release
Friday, July 20th, 2007As the world spends the last few hours awaiting the arrival a book (something that I wonder if I will ever seen happen on such a scale again in my lifetime), John Mark Reynolds has a few things he’s noticed that we can learn from Harry Potter.
navigating the sea of humanity
Monday, July 16th, 2007Heads talking and smiling. Bodies block the hall at irregular intervals. I try to get by, but they remain unmoved, focused on their happy encounters. Slipping by at last I walk a few steps when another blockade forms suddenly and I swing aside at the last second, avoiding a collision. They [...]
requiem for a frog
Saturday, July 14th, 2007At first it was just another piece of gravel, thrown about by construction and traffic, until it came to rest by the curb waiting on the next rain to wash it onward. The shape catches my eye a second time. Not a rock at all. A frog, poised on the verge of [...]
church marquees, grammar, philosophy, and rush hour
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007There’s a little church that occupies space in a light industrial park nearby. Almost like a storefront church, if you’ve ever seen those, except their building isn’t connected to anything. Like most churches they’ve employed the use of the marquee as an inspirational/quasi-informational means of conveying messages to the throngs of rush hour [...]
a new hat, a movie, a run, and big dreams
Sunday, July 8th, 2007A few months ago, I was pondering what kind of hat I should buy when Kari suggested a Tilley. Today I followed her advice and purchased one. Behold, my hat. (I would take a picture, but my digital camera has apparently died. So now I need to figure out what kind [...]
the fourth and work
Thursday, July 5th, 2007I hope your fourth of July found you in a celebratory mood.
I spent most of the day working through the stack of Marvel cards, then a cookout and fireworks for the 4th and my nephew’s 2nd birthday. Today I’ll be hitting the drawing hard again, and maybe a run somewhere in between. [...]
