Okay, LiveJournal... I'll play along. Me as a teenager. Plenty more here.

I got some weird spam messages in my comments, and Ryan says it's because I don't update my LJ account often enough. So, um, here's a video I can't stop watching.

How nerdy is it when, at dinner, the subject of one's LiveJournal avatar comes up in conversation? To my credit, I think it was Chris or Kean who mentioned it first. I was personally quite content to talk about current events, literature, and wine, but oh no! They had to go and nerd it up.

So I made a new one! Goodbye testicle-headed-Superman, hello Skullfaceman!

I've been moving all the sites I run from one server to another, and after some initial problems, everything is back to normal -- Drawn! is back online after a wee break, and my blog and illustration portfolio are not only back online, but are also sporting sharp new looks.

Sharp, I've realized, is one of those words that my dad uses to describe clothes I wear that he doesn't hate (ie suitable for church and/or funeral homes). "Nice tie, Trapper! Lookin' sharp!"

Yes, my dad sometimes calls me Trapper, what's it to ya?

I've been interviewed by Iconic: The Illustration Podcast over at Illustration Mundo.

The first half of the interview, in which we talk primarily about Drawn!, is online. You can download/listen to the interview here: Iconic Audio.

The second half, in which we talk more about myself and my influences and junk like that, will be available next week.

I was just coming down from a nasty flu bug or something that week, so please excuse the occasional coughing!

Hello LJ friends -- the few of you who are still subscribed to this instead of (or in addition to) my regular feed... Anyhoo, my comics site Machine Gum is now syndicated on LiveJournal: http://syndicated.livejournal.com/machinegum/

Peas,

Hey all you kids -- someone out in LiveJournal land made an LJ feed out of my main site's RSS feed: robotjohnny! Add it to your friends list, since I rarely if ever make entries to my actual LJ account.

An open letter to snowpaz:

Thank you for the wonderful MP3 Disc! You have no idea what glorious timing you have, as the day that it arrived my MP3 Harddrive went KAPUT. 60 Gigs of music, culled from my CDs, mixes from friends, and let's be honest -- downloaded off the Internets since the days of Napster -- GONE!!

But, one $150 trip to the computer store to buy DiskWarrior later, I have been able to access the files on the disc and have been gradually backing them up onto DVD, which is taking one helluva long time (and 60 Gigs into 4-Gig DVDs, well, you do the math...)

But your collection of songs, Snowpaz, has been a saving grace. Without it, I would be listening only to the sound of my breathing and farting today. But instead I have a whole mess of new music (and yes, despite what you think about me and my prolific listening habits -- most of your CD is new to me!)

I owe you one, my love.

P.S. The picture of Richard Grieco is just fab. I cannot wait to frame it.
