Post-it Comix

What's Luck Got to Do With it? - PART ONE

2010-01-24T16:26:00.000-08:00

Yes, I'm making comics again.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Strike is Over! Hoorah!

2008-02-19T17:02:00.000-08:00

PS One thing about the crazyness of not really having a permanent home, is that my scanner is in storage :( And since I haven't been in an office, I can't use their scanner. So that's why the comix look a little less clear and perfect than I would like. You can also see the edge of my finger holding down the post-it (because my brother has no tape in his house, and that is where I am right now).

Mostly, this is a doodle.

i.e., this is was a stream of consciousness comic.

Called (My visit to Portland)

There really was a man eating out of a frisbee.
It also was raining a lot my last two days in PDX. My shoes got super soggy, which is horrible.

Colors are off due to lack of scanner.

Mom

P.S. I should add something about the "bad dream" superstition. 1) My mom first ALWAYS says "there is no such thing as bad dreams." 2)In addition to spitting, you're also supposed to say (in Russian)"Kudah notch, tudah sohn" (Where the night goes, there the dream goes).

Name Drop

2007-04-30T16:21:00.000-07:00

Living in LA means that you see celebrities, and occasionally you even interact with them. I don't have a problem with hearing those "I saw a famous person" stories. I've told them myself. I also don't mind when someone mentions someone who is well known and whom they know well in the context of a conversation where that information is relevant and interesting. However!, rampant false random name dropping is a different story altogether. And as you can see, it's not my cup of tea.

HOORAH!!!! I GOT A SCANNER!!!!- Return of the Comix "Reality TV Casting"

2007-04-29T19:07:00.000-07:00

I bought a scanner today!!!*
And even though I am currently unemployed, I look at this as an excellent purchase...as opposed to a frivolous irresponsible waste of money.

This comic is all about my life in TV Land:

*Elliot, it turns out I have to contact the manufacturer to get the power source for the scanner you gave me...and I was just too antsy, and this one was a good deal, and I'm stoked about owning my own! I will return the one you graciously gave me soon.

3D Drawing Pad

2007-04-22T13:48:00.000-07:00

I got a 3D Drawing Pad for my birthday...and if you have a pair of 3D glasses lying around, take a look, this little alien will pop out even off the computer.

As for the comics, I just got my hands on a scanner that is missing a power source. So as soon as I can get the missing piece, I will start scanning and posting new work. Ugg, it is taking forever, I know.

new comics in the works

2007-04-02T17:30:00.001-07:00

I just spent the past two+ weeks in San Francisco and Chicago casting a new network show.
We worked all day and all night and pretty much every minute that I wasn't sleeping.

Miraculously, the weather was gorgeous in each city while we were there. It was perfect spring weather...even in Chicago! It was 75 degrees there for a few days!

Anyway, I spent a lot of time going to bars and parks and gyms searching for single attractive people. I got really good at approaching strangers and asking them if they wanted to be on TV (but I had really classy ways of saying it). I also heard some of the WORST pick-up lines of my life. Including, an off-duty police officer from NY asking about the style of my nether regions.

I'll be back to blogging, and comic-making soon. I promise.

Not quite a comic

2007-02-21T15:12:00.000-08:00

It's my last day at work, and I realized how much post-it art was stuck to the edges of my computer monitor. Elliot and another friend made a couple of them. The smallest fortune cookie fortune reads "You are on the right track now". I got that fortune on one of my first days of work.

Break Time

2007-02-20T11:00:00.000-08:00

I'm taking a short comic-posting break.
For one, I think I might be done with the Reed series for now; I might start transitioning into post-Reed topics.
For two, there are lots of transitions going on. I'm ending one job, and starting a new job this week...and so my brain is kind of overloaded with issues relating to change.

Thanks for taking a look at my comics, and I promise to start posting regularly in the very nearest future (i.e. next week).

Coup Finale- Episode 3

2007-02-01T10:55:00.000-08:00

Small college communities often bestow a sense of importance on their attendees. That sense of one's own awesomeness that a tight knit community inspires spoils you for the rest of your life. Everytime something like the Coup experience happened, I wish some secret agent would have run up to me to say: "COLLEGE IS NOTHING LIKE THE REAL WORLD!!!!"

Don't be Shy

2007-01-31T17:28:00.000-08:00

Feedback is great! Especially if it's feedback about the comic, and not me as a person. Also, let me know how you feel about the new look, is the grey ruining your day? Is the white too bright?

There's so many things you learn not do while in college. Fortunately, my ex-roomie and I became friends again; it did take a year to recover from having lived together.

It sounded good...but it didn't turn out so great.

I always liked pictures, photos, drawings, etc. of really detailed still lifes. It appeals to my voyeuristic inclinations.

2007-01-19T09:29:00.000-08:00

These were less about trying to be funny, and more of an attempt at story-telling. I'm still in the learning/experimental phase of comic-making...and I'm pretty sure this phase won't end anytime soon.

Roll Call

Elliot acts as my post-it comic editor. He also makes his own post-it art. We not only work in the same office, but we actually sit a few feet apart from one another. Due to the close proximity of our computers, Elliot is often looking over my shoulder to snoop. Consequently, I hardly browse myspace anymore, which is probably a good thing. The configuration of our desks at work also allow for us to have lots of opportunities to collaborate and talk about how much the new Apprentice sucks and whatnot. My favorite of his post-it's is the one of Tony Snow.

It should be self-explanatory....let's just say I knew a lot of people who believed that sharing meant you had to give them stuff for free all the time.

These comix are meant to be humorous, I have a lot of love for my highschool male friends, and the ones portrayed in this image are a representation of the males that represented the majority of the hometown guys I knew who weren't my friends.

These are some more in a long series I'm working on about my college years.

Episode 1-Collaboration

2007-01-11T17:37:00.000-08:00

These are the very first post-it comics I did. Mine are the one's on the right, Elliot did the one's on the left.

The text is hard to read, clockwise they say:
Number One: Poem: When I look at him my heart cracks like soft egg shell.
Number two: Sonya was one of my most promising students. I wanted to tutor her exclusively but her mother dissapproved.
Nubmer three: 1st night of college: Wow! You've read Ginsburg! Where's your bedroom?
Number four: 1st night of college: Subble. Stubble burn.
