Web-Comic Round-Up

been reading a lot of web-comics lately,
in a post Watterson and Larson comics world,
the funnies in the paper just aren't doin for me anymore.
luckily the format has found new life online.
here are some of my favourites, some a value for their writing others their illustration style.
if you know of any other good ones, send 'em my way.

Dinosaur Comics: by Ryan North
the pictures never change, but the writing is good enough that they don't have to. the most Calvin 'n Hobbes-esque comic out there.

WONDERMARK: by David Malki !
David Malki re-appropriates old 19th century illustrations for his hilarious comic.
i had a similar idea once with these old cowboy illustrations i found, but he beat me to it.


Nedroid-Elegance in stupidity:
by Anthony clark
I really like this guy's style of illustration, and I think Beartato is a great character.
kinda quirky comics and illustrations.

Printmaking Vs. Ceramics

A poster I made for the upcoming Print and Ceramics sale.

Fun Run

Well I was still having fun when this picture was taken at the 14 mile mark. (props to Heather for the shot) Two days after running the Top of Utah Marathon, in 4 hours and 36 minutes, my legs still hurt, and "hobble" would be the best word to describe how I get around. Also, next time around, I might invest in some of these.

England hightlite #2 Ireland!

so maybe it's time I finish what I started;

upon arriving in england on wednesday, we caught a plane that night to Ireland for two days!
Ireland was a lot like what I expected, in a good way. Rolling green hills, stone walls, leprechauns and sheep everywhere. The cliffs of Moher were my favourite, just gorgeous. Marc and I walked down the coast to a ruined tower on the cliff-side. we soaked it up.
The night before we had a medieval banquet in Bunratty castle. complete with entertainers in nearly accurate felt costumes. Later we visited an ancient burial ground, pomhoeangraglelifarlen (or something not like that at all, can't quite remember that gaelic word for it). Also we learned all about Clints and Grikes! fascinating.

England Highlite #1

Hamlet
in Stratford upon Avon, performed by The Royal Shakespeare Company.
I felt quite privileged to see one of the greatest plays in history performed by world-class actors. Patrick Stewart was amazing.
I had just finished reading the play the day before, (I'm glad I did). when we first bought tickets to this production I was expecting actors in Elizabethan costume. instead the production was done in a contemporary style, which sounds like it could have been cheesy, but it was pulled off very well. Hamlet's (David Tennant) "to be or not to be" monologue sounded suprisingly fresh and effective. anyways I'm no professional theatre critic, let's just say it rocked my proverbial socks.

England Top 5!

this past week or so I've had the pleasure of visiting Marc 'n Katie in the Land of Engl.
