Character Theme Songs!
I have a bunch of characters. Not as many as some folk, but a number, and I’m pretty invested in all of them to a good extent. But to understand the characters better, I listen to a lot of music. So, if I had to choose one song that symbolizes my most developed characters, here’s my list:
Carl - “Greatest Hits” by Jay Brannan
Dude - “Catholic Pagans” by Surfer...

Spent the last 4 hours HTML/CSS-ing
Messing with various templates, removing elements, putting elements back in… and the end result is very similar to my first attempt.
Good. God.

schizostories:
Hey all! For those unaware, I help to run Artslam on Tumblr! It’s basically a little community where lots of artists get together and draw, with the goal being a drawing a day pertaining to a certain concept (whatever you choose!) for 1-3 months. I’ve used it for comic development, general…
I’m doing it. If you need some incentive to do that art project you wanna do,...

Look Straight Ahead: Some Thoughts On Style →
lookstraightahead:
This is another of those odd text pieces I wrote a while ago. Either it will make you think, or it will grievously offend you… :V At any rate, here it is!
Some Thoughts On Style
Many young artists will find themselves wondering “What style should I draw in?”
I think this is a dangerous trap…
Really good stuff.

I know I said there'll be an update tomorrow...
But there is no way I can get a page up by tomorrow at 10 am. Today was the last presentation prior to graduation, and I was up all day yesterday painting 35+ backgrounds, compiling them together, and getting ready for the slideshow to go with it. Needless to say, I’m very behind in comics.
Gearfish has been most awesome and has contributed another piece of guest art, which I’ll put...

fr0styryan:
Many years ago, I used to think there was a perfect drawing tutorial out there. Something that screamed “this is the program you gotta use” or “the exact brush set that will make a difference” or “this is how the body parts should be done EXACTLY.” I had this habit of watching a lot of online…

schizostories replied to your post: Why would you openly insult artists on a comic making forum.
Yeah. If we’re thinking of the same one, I’m really not sure why it came back up, either, considering how old it was.
The nercro’d thread doesn’t really concern me (although that one IS pretty weird). But there’s another one…

bc some people love to be rude haters : [
Also they seem to be totally okay to be lighting a keg full of gunpowder for whatever reason.

Cans of Beans @ ANIME EXPO 2013!!
I guess I can make an official announcement now since I got the permit and all.
I’ll be at Anime Expo July 4 - 7, 2013 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, sharing a table with Kaxen. I’ll be selling anime fanart prints and a VERY LIMITED NUMBER of Chapter 1 of Cans of Beans. Probably around 20 copies. So if you’re planning on going to AX, stop on by and say hi!
More details...

Page Update Possibly Delayed due to Server Issues
Hey guys, page 56 will be posted hopefully soon, but at the moment, CF’s servers are acting funny. The whole Cans of Beans site is more or less readable (comment box is messed up), but because of the server issues, I can’t access my account and upload the update for today.
If it’s not resolved by noon PST I’ll just upload the page here on Tumblr for the time being. Thanks...

It's settled.
If I ever draw a porn comic of Cans of Beans, it’ll be called Beaned in the Can.

This makes me want to comic again. It also reminds me how much work making comics was.
Gosh I miss your comic pages. You should do some for fun! I was talking with people about having a 24-hour comic-a-thon somewhere. :V

oh man. value studies in the thumbnail stage is…a really good idea
The more time you spend on thumbnails, the less time you spend trying to figure stuff out! I do recommend it, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Desktop Adventures
I shared this on ComicFury, so I guess I should share it here too. What my desktop looks like, a 3-part adventure.
Adobe Premiere files ahoy. This is how I put together the animated scenes my partner and I do to make Bedtime Story. There is order in this madness.
My trusty iCal, Anxiety list, and Skype. Every little event and due date is on that calendar. Anxiety list keeps me in check by...

it really shows! good rework! if you want to push it a little further, maybe move his legs closer to his body, and lower his head a little more?

faolainswift replied to your post: I think I might actually like country music
Oh dear, at least tell me it’s GOOD country music and not the new crap. You know … like Johnny Cash or Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
I definitely listen to more Johnny Cash than, um, Tim McGraw or something. Not that Tim McGraw is bad but… yeah. More Johnny Cash, please.
