The Return of Stickman #1512

I'm doing one last strip on this theme because I forgot to send new scripts to my copy editor and this strip only took one sentence I knew I could get right.

The Return of Stickman #1509 & Logo for Tacoma Games

I hope you're enjoying getting acquainted with Stickman's family.

Here's my fall schedule of events:
Rose City - Portland
Report: I had a great time playing shuffle the artist as the convention staff found my correct place in the order of things. Great dinners out with the gang. The drive to and from was a lot of fun too.
QZ Con - Tacoma
Report: Tacoma worst weather in years! The torrents of rain made for road closures and highway traffic nightmares. The attendance was very low as a result.
October 5-6 24 Hour Comic Challenge - Tacoma
October 12 Bellingham Comic Con - Bellingham
October 19 Geek Girl Con - Seattle
November 2 Jet City Comic Con - Tacoma

One of my projects in September was creating a logo for a new gaming store opening up in Tacoma called Tacoma Games. I came up with three really great ideas that both the client and I loved. We were all happy choosing this one as the winner.

The Return of Stickman #1508

I decided to stop grabbing stories from the news as inspiration and visit back the cast of characters I've built up over the year. I thought I would start with stickman's family and reintroduce his evil brother Eddie and Uncle Eddie. Next week it's going to be all the folks at the office. That is if I get any strips drawn. I just landed a huge project with an incredibly nasty turn around schedule. I might not have time to breath.

This weekend I will be at the Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon. There was a snaffu and they had me listed as cancelled. Which is why I'm not on the website or program. The staff is working to fix the problem and I will have a table - somewhere. I'm just glad I could give them a heads up and not have to deal with this at the door.

The next five weekends are going to be brutal events:
Rose City - Portland
QZ Con - Tacoma
24 Hour Comic Challenge - Tacoma
Geek Girl Con - Seattle
Bellingham Comic Con - Bellingha

Wish me luck. I will do my best to keep the comics flowing.

The Return of Stickman #1507

Sigh. Summer is over and done. I'm missing it already.

The Return of Stickman #1505 & 1506

I thought it might be nice is we would see Uncle Eddie again. And that thought was the inspiration for the them of this week's strips.

The Return of Stickman #1350

I wanted to do a strip that would make sense to the long-term readers of The Return of Stickman, but would be weirdly funny to those just tuning in. Stickman's holiday adventures can be found in the archives.

The Return of Stickman #1343

I've a client who wants me to do an animation. It's been a while, but I'm thinking it might be fun. Falling a little behind on my software tutorials. And I need to draw some coconuts today. It all beats being homeless.

The Return of Stickman #1341

Today's strip is inspired by all the relatives I expected to visit this summer, and didn't. And to all those relatives I didn't expect a visit who did show up out of the blue. Oh, yes. You know who you are.

The Return of Stickman #1340

My brother Randy asked that I do a few strips using characters that a few of the older fans know and love. This won't be a huge saga. I'm going to try a formula of weird news bits along with a story arch. I'll be searching for feedback along the way.

I spent a few hours yesterday being couched by Adam The Alien on monetorizing my YouTube channel. I'm considering do the same to this blog.

The Return of Stickman #1064

I considered doing a week's worth of strips on the topic of Thanksgiving during my vacation. Instead, I ate turkey and took a nap.

The Return of Stickman #1027 and Akron Family

This posting of The Return of Stickman is long overdue. What could possibly keep me from posting for a few weeks? Well, there were a couple of huge projects that hit my desk and I had to get them done before I headed off to Bumbershoot, a three day music festival held at Seattle Center each year. I drew during the concerts, and in some cases had the band sign the drawings. I will be posting a couple of those this week to make up for my tardiness. But, work and Bumbershoot were not the only things that kept me busy. I also had relatives visiting from Colorado and California. Having them here was a blast. Now it’s back to our regularly scheduled programming.

The Return of Stickman #795

This strip was inspired by trip to the drugstore where I was trying to find a Mountain Bar.
