Life is Lies: IDs

This was a fun one. Now it's up!


Recently I dug out some sketches I'd done and defaced them in the name of Science. Stuff like a Tabasco bottle, a cyclops I guess, or a robot, whatever you draw when you're sitting around in a bar. Mostly these guys, though. I get tired of coloring things in digitally, right, and I like limited palettes; so, let's go, markers –

This was the original idea for London, and I'm glad I didn't go with it.

That said, it did lead to a different, excellent idea.

This one just isn't right for those aliens, but at least I finally drew his pint glass proportionally large. Right, I mean – they're three feet tall, and they're always holding regular-sized glasses. I figure they get little shot glasses of beer. Or no one serves them. Or
EVERYONE SERVES THEM.

(that last bit makes sense if you read this week's comic).

Life Is Lies: London

Oh man, so few posts this month. I have to get on that, it bugs me when Life is Lies starts to stack up. It's been a busy summer, but really...

Life is Lies: Tell It

I actually sort of did this to some guys on the street last night. I'm not a very aggressive person, so it felt good to out-joust a car full of douche-baggery with a little performative legerdemain. Skin-a-ma-rink-a-link-a-doo, skin-a-ma-rink-a-dee.


I'm actually kind of excited for the next two to post. My punchlines aren't always on by my reckoning, but yeah, it's moving.

Life is Lies: Baby Eaters

Ooooh yeah, this went up earlier this week. And if you wait for me to tell you every-every time then you missed the second part of Visual Score (here; it's still there, don't worry).

Captain Connecticut

My friend Beau has been working on a comic called Mime Hunters, which is apparently not posted, but it's amazing. He distributes them at shows. It's made me very jealous. I started working on a comic of my own: Captain Connecticut. There are zero issues so far, but hey. Captain Connecticut is the only survivor of the IPSS Fleetship Connecticut. He farms tobacco to sell to aliens, and when he's attacked by rocket ninjas he uses his gene gun to become super-powered and defend his flying space island.

It's pretty much the best idea ever. Now we turn it into comics.

Life Is Lies: Visual Score

This comes in two parts; the second one is for later, although yes, the punchline is pretty much all in the first strip. (although no, because the second one has a different joke, right?).

Life is Lies: Badass

I like having something to remind me I need to post things more often. This time I actually caught it day-of, but anyway.


go-go Gadget Link

Life Is Lies: Sharks

I need to draw some more of these, for sure. Aliens in Diapers:

Life Is Lies: The Loktar

Don't worry, I'm not watching the Tiny Mix Tapes page like a hawk. For all I know this has been up for a while. But now I'm telling you!

Life is Lies: Good Writing

And Oh Yeah! this went up; a while ago, I think, but the actual day slipped my watchful eye. Check it out! On page two! (which is for some reason comics?page=1 in the web address!) (excitement!) I'll notify you as I notice them go live, in case you don't feel like checking yourself periodically. Tiny Mix Tapes has a bunch of other comics, though, so you should have a look.

Life is Lies #1

I drew this comic about aliens and submitted it to Tiny Mix Tapes, because they have a comics section. I get the impression they're not going to take it, but I still think it's pretty great.


UPDATE (3/4/10): hey! looks like i spoke too soon – got a message a couple days ago, they're going to take it! i'll post here when it posts there, but it'll be more like this:

sweet!

Aliens and Robots

I have a habit of giving either food or t-shirts for Christmas. If you have a similar habit, but don't make t-shirts, and people are getting angry at you for giving them food for Christmas, too,† you should get in touch with me.

Aliens and robots go hand-in-hand – or hand-to-hand.

there's a companion shirt with a robot-stronaut, but it was a present to someone, so I don't have it anymore –
but you can still see the studies for the other shirt.

________________
†let it be known, despite what my critics may say, that everyone i've given food for Christmas has loved their presents.

Copepod and The Aliens

I was cleaning my house the other day and I found a scrap of sketch paper from when I moved in. I guess that makes it about a year old. I'm apparently still drawing the same things. I want to write a comic about some aliens that have a band – that's what I want to do now, I have no idea what I was going for last year.
