@acorn: hell yeah, i've always wanted to wear sunglasses... err..
@greg: ha! no, and i just got a new (used) road bike (bianchi san jose singlespeed) today, so i'll be riding that most places. tho i have been driving more than i'd like to admit. like how i drew you? egads! art forever! i'll be making more art!
I think what I said when you got a car was that soon you'd be driving to the co-op next door. It hasn't gotten that bad has it?
I'm sad to hear that you'll be leaving Portland. I'll miss you. But I wish you all the best with your new adventure. I hope it makes you very happy.
Remember: keep making art!
I heard the light in LA is much brighter than in other cities... you need to get some nice sunglasses. Congratulations.
!!!!!!!!!!!??????!?!?!?!?! Holy SHIT Nate! This is BIG NEWS!!! That is going to be one crazy adventure! I hope you will continue to draw while you are down South so we can hear about all of your adventures... MAN! LIFE. Fucking crazy, huh???
@dwight: indeed. one part that cracked me up was the whole rachel debacle in BF9. i love how i drew you in that style-block (since it changed so many damn times)
@alec: yeah, i was pretty stunned when i realized i was cameraless. i've been carrying around that 4-lb beast of a DSLR in my backpack ever since i bought it! and just recently took it out since i haven't been taking any pictures & i started worrying about it getting beat up. but honestly it was good – i actually drew instead (which i'll put up soon here..)
@joseph: yes indeed. i'm the same way. the best misery for drawing is being broke and/or single, and for once those things are in a comfortable status. it's a very strange feeling. but don't worry, the misery just moves inward to existential doubt and malaise. heh.
Funny, I've found some (but not all) of my most prolific creative phases were during unhappy times. Hm.
Maybe you're not miserable enough to draw? Quick— more misery!
You got flown down to LA but you didn't bring your camera??? Jeez! I would have loved to have seen your visual take on that place...
You having steady work sounds like a great thing Nate. Hopefully turning down crappy web work will enable you to draw, just like you are hoping to do!
its amazing how a journal entry keeps a memory fresh, distinct, bookmarks a particular series of hours.
amen brother!
ah the perks of self employment
enjoy this laborious tax season!
or put it off gettin sloshed
The original Transformers movie is awesome EXCEPT for the part where Starscream kills tons of Autobots. That part was sad.
I'm sure we could install a treadmill at the office; you could jog on it for a few minutes, so you could go home covered in a nice layer of sweat.
@jon: i just needed to get my computer out of the house and back into the office now that there are people hanging out in our tiny space 24/7 (two peeps w/ no jobs).. and dogs.. and music, food, telephone calls, various drama, etc. just one day back in the office and i'm 100% more relaxed.
i agree, setting hours is a great idea. i've tried a million different methods in the last 5 years, and the only thing that really worked was when soon bok worked 11-7 and i first got the office set up. that worked fantastic. unfortunately it was pretty short-lived.
@dwight: ha, workplace humiliation indeed.
i am simultaneously sorry and glad i could be part of your recent zombie work. i have to say, shaking that feeling is one of the few things that make the cubicle tolerable. that and cool people in the other cubicles who dont mind the zombie (and/or are themselves).
you should set hours for yourself. when it works, i mean. sometimes (even back in portland) i found this was nice, though less flexible, because i would swear off looking at work stuff after that schedule.
man, this is boring comment material, no? sorry everyone!
i work at my favorite bar.... so i bartend all day... then i switch to the other side & join the drunks... its often kindve rather incredibly sad as hell.
workplace humiliation comes in many forms, amigo.
Ummmm....I was googling running shoe parts for a class, and the photo of a nubile leg in a Brooks running shoe popped up, and the rest is history. Your dad was correct, that is a particularly highly rated Brooks model of running shoe your friend has on, but I digress...I don't find your site to be an oasis of gayness in a desert of queerfaction or whatever that pickle-kisser called it. I actually enjoyed it. Nice work, and good luck with your running!
what lies over top of yon as we say in west yorkshire england. lovely view, one day cactus will grow in the sunshine state of Gildersome, my Americana home in Leeds. With much love Peter
You might quite like Quicksilver too then. You can do just about anything with it. Except make toast. Stupid real world with toast 'n stuff.
Wow. Looks like a good time to close off the comments on this Google trap.
