So, for my day off yesterday I decided to go check out the new Ghost Rider movie starring Nic Cage. I didn’t hate it but I am glad I saw a matinee.

My biggest issue was how Cage decided to portray Johnny Blaze. Nicolas Cage’s obsession with the King was blaringly annoying during the whole movie. Johnny Blaze is NOT Elvis Presley. I found myself wishing the movie has actually centered around the young actor they had for Blaze in his teens.

But… it did give me a new 4×4.

Here’s a little style switch for you (I told you anything would go). I decided to kind of mash together my editorial work and the 4×4s. Actually, I didn’t chose to it just kind of happened.

I decided to do my own taxes this year using a computer program. By the end of the process it all went smoothly but at the beginning… whoa boy. The stupid thing crashed on me three times. I think you can see my frustration.

I’m digging the Alt-Press feel of this one.

Looking at this one and I can see a whole lot of influences from my childhood in it. Can you see them? (hint: I’m 30)

This is the first time I’ve really taken the time to draw an open mouth, I’m pretty happy with it.

Hey look at that, two in a row. Please realize that I’m not making any promises to the regularity of these posts. I just happened to have two handy to start everything off.

He is a cute little guy though.

I’m going to start trying something new here folks. It was something my aunt had suggested to me a while ago that I never took up. Basically what I am going to do is draw random cartoons and illustrations so I don’t fall completely out of practice. The only rule is that the demensions have to be 4″ x 4″.

Should be interesting.

Maybe not. Either way, I’ll start giving it a go today by showing you the Valentine I made for my Fiancée yesterday.

After years of doing the webcomic Bassetville and my subsequent involvement in basset hound rescue it is impossible for me not to urge you to consider providing a forever home to some neglected pup. Owning a dog is a great responsibility and should not be entered into lightly. Below you will find a list of basset hound rescue groups across the country. Find one near you and make some hound very happy today.

If you know of a rescue group that I do not have listed please Email me.

My partner this year was Tanya Higgins of BetaPwned and she was awesome. She sent me a great script and had no problem letting me work it a little to fit a Sunday comic format. I love doing these things.
