Pursuant to a previously stated resolution to increase my usage of my sketchbook, I hereby submit this tumblr extension to the Mooretoons website. Above is a sketch of my son I did last night as he played games online. In two years we will forget about tumblr and start up fartr accounts. They will work … Read More “I Got a Tumblr” »
I Like Money Just got paid for a freelance job. Always nice, but more so in the post-holiday we-so-broke season.
I started 2010 determined to finish up Wanderlost and get started on a graphic novel. It’s also the year I stopped cartooning about politics. At the time I had studio space outside my home, allowing me to concentrate on my work without distractions posed by piles of laundry and stacks of crusty dishes. I managed … Read More “End Year Wrap Up” »
This summer has marked the longest period of zero cartooning I have had since college almost 20 years ago. Seriously, I have not drawn ONE SINGLE CARTOON since June. Doodles on napkins don’t count. In fact, I don’t count the flip-book animation example I created for a class I taught on the subject at a … Read More “Back to Normal, Coming Soon” »

I’ve been feeling a need for a break from cartooning to develop other creative interests, music being a big one in my life, but not something I ever … Read More “Have Guitar, Will Fumble” »
Okay, I’m just testing the RSS feed again, but I thought I’d try to make it more interesting. Besides, check out the mirrors on that Tele!

Anyhoo, the … Read More “Over, Under, Sideways, Down” »
This blog’s been purty quiet lately. Too much to do in meatspace. Like, say, a recent 11-day road trip from Portland to Great Falls, Montana, with detours through the high desert lands of central Oregon to hike 50 million years of lava deposits and fossils near John Day. Giant rock formations rise in mounds, revealing … Read More “Back to Life, Back to Reality” »
My slowly proceeding plan to take over the world has taken a significant step today: my first podcast interview was published at the Becky & Joe Show. Joe Wilson is a Molalla-based journalist who shares a weekly podcast at pdx.fm with Becky Bergman. They take on a lot of different topics. In my case, I … Read More “First the Interview, Next the Centerfold” »
Seriously, does anyone use LiveJournal any more?* Well…yeah. A lot of people. Mostly cartoonists, from what I can tell, and people too busy or lazy to migrate to another journal site (like Dead Journal.) But nedroid, Kate Beaton, Dylan Meconis, Greg Bigoni, Scott Bateman, some guy named Shannon Wheeler, to name only a few — … Read More “New LJ User Icons” »
