Happy Lumberjack Day

on September 26, 2011

An old sketch, but still a goodie, I think. 🙂 Page 51 of LUMBERJACKS: A FIELD GUIDE: Lumberjacks of the Future.

“What the heck is Lumberjack Day?? Lumberjack Day is a wonderfully ridiculous holiday that Marianne Ways and Colleen AF Venable [former lumberjack] invented seven years ago in reaction to Talk Like a Pirate Day. Lumberjack Day is an excuse to get together with friends, throw on your best flannel, grow a beard, eat pancakes and mozzarella sticks (official food of LJ Day), and of course TALK VERY LOUDLY.”

Colleen and Marianne, along with a lot of other lumberjack friends, created a handy website with lumber-crafts, recipes, horrible jokes, and bad party ideas: lumberjackday.net OR lumberjackdaydotcomwastaken.com

Mystery MICE

on September 25, 2011

Posted In: conventions, sketch of the day

Took a day trip to Boston for MICE (the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo), where two affable but mysterious young women were asking folks to draw sketches on the theme of libraries and books, for a school library display for students interested in comic art or . . . something like that. They didn’t quite completely explain it. Table-mate Stephanie Yue and I shrugged and drew something anyway.
