[30 Dec 2009|10:22am] thingpart Hi everybody! You'll notice that Thingpart has a lot less drawing today. That's because Thingpart is, sadly, no more. I apologize for the abruptness of this announcement, but it was not a decision I made lightly. As much as I've loved drawing Thingpart for the last four and a half years, I've decided that I'd rather work on some other comics projects. Most notably, "Just So You Know #2" which should be finished in the next couple months (and hopefully, in the not too distant future, expanded to a graphic novel). So, don't worry, I'm not finished with comics; I'm just changing direction slightly. And I'm not finished with this blog. I'll be posting different things on it, though. Pages in progress? Sketches? Hastily drawn gag strips? Who knows? Thanks to all of you who've come here every week to read my silly little comic strip, Thingpart. Love, joey alison sayers 43 comments|post comment

CAT RACKHAM CAN'T SLEEP (ETC.) [29 Dec 2009|03:54am] monstro_draw The lines between me and Cat Rackham continue to blur. Also, I really appreciate the comments on the last post but things got nutty this weekend and I haven't responded to any of them. I will though, I swear. I'm pretty terrible at the internet sometimes! 42 comments|post comment

i'm so bad at posting comics on time. [25 Dec 2009|12:09pm] bugs_is_icky I also suck real hard at drawing with a tablet, and even though I have a scanner at home (p.rents) better than the one at home (my place) I decided to break in my new Bamboo! here's an awful, but true comic. 7 comments|post comment

Rain Miser (West Coast Winter) [25 Dec 2009|04:00am] monstro_draw [ music | WFMU's The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling ] Hey, merry Christmas from Vancouver! This is a bit disingenuous, it's been unseasonably dry and mild in Vancouver this last week, but I'm sure it will be dark and wet again in no time. Has everyone seen A Year Without Santa Claus? I think that it maybe didn't make it on TV up in Canada when I was a kid, I didn't see it until a few years ago, So I've opted out of Christmas this year (I'm having kind of A Year Without Santa Claus myself, hur hur) and it is a real relief. I'm staying in Vancouver by myself and I'm away from my family for the first year ever. On Christmas Eve I made myself a lil' chicken and went alone to a bar. On Christmas morning I'm eating eggs with back bacon and playing videogames. Hope things are going nice for you guys this holiday season! 35 comments|post comment

Christmas Eve [24 Dec 2009|08:47pm] beatonna It being Christmas Eve and all, I was thinking of this Christmas story and drew it up. I meant to draw it nicer, but didn't get time.  It's about family. ( under the cut, because it's big ) If it helps to understand it better, I am the second oldest of four girls. Merry Christmas, everyone! To you and yours. 106 comments|post comment

The last man to lose his head, I suppose he deserved it [23 Dec 2009|12:09am] beatonna A Scottish cartoon, since I am back home for the holidays. I'm well acquainted with the tune "Lord Lovat's Lament," since you hear it around these parts every time anyone has to pick up a fiddle and learn something. But you know, it's one of those tunes you know so well, you pay no attention to it, it's just there in the back of your head. Then one day, I was looking up a bunch of works by Hogarth (the best) and came upon this portrait of 'Lord Lovat'. The lovely old tune and that devily face, they didn't match. So I wanted to learn more about him! Lovat (Simon Fraser, born 1697 - there are about a million Simon Fraser Lord Lovats) really epitomizes how reading Scottish history can make you want to tear your eyeballs out, or laugh because it's nearly a farce it's so nutty. Either the people involved are disastrously loyal, or disastrously duplicitous. Everything is a disaster, but it's a hell of a ride. 55 comments|post comment
