Just in case you haven’t heard, since I’ve mentioned it pretty much everywhere but this website, I’ve finished illustrating all the stanzas of The Rime of Mariner! I got it all concluded a day before New Year’s Eve, so I wasn’t even feverishly working on it in the minutes before the rollover to 2014. In…

Last week I mentioned that I haven’t been doing as much hiking since moving to Seattle. In truth, I haven’t been doing as much hiking in general since Lorie and I closed up our apartment in Bozeman just over two years ago, although I have climbed a mountain or two since then, and done a…

Summer has been busy as ever, but work continues on The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in spite of the diversions of the season. As we’re now in the month of August, some ways past the halfway point of the year, I’m also well past the halfway point for my page count, and it’s hard…

I’ve been hard at work on my “creative new year’s resolution” these last several months, but it seems I’m due for another resolution of sorts: I need to give you some more regular progress reports here on the website regarding how it’s going! My last mention of it here was way back in January, but…

I didn’t really intend to make a New Year’s resolution this year, but it seems that I’ve done so. It’s not that I’m opposed to the idea of personal betterment or lifestyle adjustments, I just feel that there’s not really any good reason to start things on the turn of a new calendar year when,…

I seem to start each December with big ambitions for making work, but then quickly get waylaid by the other demands of the season. There’s always so many things to do, and they never seem time consuming when considered during the rest of the year! In addition to the usual Christmas shopping, tree decorating, and…

I wrote a somewhat lengthy post a few days ago, but right before I was about to hit that button to publish it here, I hesitated. Although I was pleased with how it had come out, it still seemed like it needed just a bit more work. It didn’t seem disorganized, necessarily, but it felt…

It’s weird how completely some projects can dominate your attention to the point you don’t really realize how quickly time can pass. I suppose that’s what the whole “time flies when you’re having fun” thing, and time has sure flown this summer. Was it fun? Well… yes and no. There were highlights and good times…

I was able to watch a fair bit of the Olympics last week, but now that Lorie and I are back in Bridger, I’m afraid I haven’t really been able to keep up with what’s been going on. There’s a television in the house, of course, but Lorie’s folks have their own viewing habits, and…

It’s been a little quiet around here on the Journal lately since I’ve been keeping really busy. In addition to keeping up with the comic, I’ve also been working ardently on the something-a-day drawings. I’ve been at it for nearly 80 days now, and have accumulated a fairly substantial pile of images. I’ve just added…
