June 9th, 2010Yes Another iPad Post!
April 5th, 2010Oh no not another iPad Post, you say, to which I reply, yes, this news is too great to respect my self imposed ban on iPad.
I saw one this morning and it’s one of the greatest comic platforms I’ve ever seen. Super sharpest full resolution blast in your face color are you kidding me? BOOM! I am so excited to make iPad comics, and I hope you will too. Lets show these mainstreamers how it’s DONE, indy comickers! Raise your pens and lets go Scott McCloud on their assets!

On Knitting and Delayed Gratification
March 4th, 2010Yesterday on the bus to work, I overheard a conversation between a young lady (maybe 20ish, with punk style) and two much older women. The young one asked the difference between knitting and crocheting, which one had two needles, which one had one. An older woman replied that knitting uses two needles while crocheting uses a hook. The young woman then objected to the very concept, who can just sit there for hours? Who has that kind of patience? The old ladies smiled. Then the girl contemplated how she plays guitar, which takes hours of patience, but at least she gets instant gratification of hearing her song right away. Then it was her stop and she left.
That started me thinking about the instant gratification of knitting. The soothing repetition and patterns. The feeling of nice wool running past my fingers. The feeling I’m a part of something greater than myself, a herstorical loom of skill that’s been woven for hundreds or thousands of years.
And then beyond, is appreciating the gratification that I did not learn to enjoy as a young person, but only in my 30s have I even begun to appreciate. The amazing feeling of creating something that DOES take time, that does take skill and discipline and patience, is so much more infinitely gratifiying than something you can make on the spot with little effort.
Yes, I like getting older. I’m looking forward to my 40s and we’ll talk then about my 50s 
The Inside and Outside Pin-Ups of Molly Kiely
March 3rd, 2010Molly Kiely was the first all-empowering, all sex-positive, cartoonist I read, and considering I worked for an erotic comics retailer, I’ve read THEM. ALL. Molly Kiely stands alone as her own awesome stake in the world of Comics, Feminism, Porn, Erotica, Black and White Art, and Sex Positive Empowerment.
She blew my mind with “Diary of a Dominatrix” and “That Kind of Girl” in the 90s and early 00s. Now I’ve found her on flickr, doing gorgeous pin ups and photography of the gorgeous Molly Kiely in the flesh!
SWOON.

Amazing Old Ad
