Daniel Clowes on NPR

Inspired by the interview I posted a link to below, I looked up more similar interviews, and stumbled on a fairly recent interview with Daniel Clowes on NPR. Here it is.

Chris Ware and Charles Burns Radio Interview

Man, if you like comics at *all*, go HERE now and listen to Chris (ACME Novelty Library) Ware and Charles (Black Hole) Burns pontificate for an hour about comics on Open Source Radio. It's fascinating.

Zombie Beach part 5

FINALLY. A month later I finally finished part five of Zombie Beach. Been very busy, what with the end of school, looking for a job, tomorrow's Industry Night, and Halloween preperations. Anyway, hopefully I keep more on top of it here on out. Without further ado, Zombie Beach.

Pigboy

Here's a crappy rushed strip to fill in the void of nothing that's been so prevalent lately.

They love me, they really LOVE me!

Weird and nice to get mentioned randomly. Over at the I'm just saying... blog they had a comics list in which they name ME. Woo! Here's the link to that.
They say:

Space Jet Comics, by Mike Myhre. A sketchblog that features good and interesting comics. Not too much to say other than it has a good sketchy style.

Thanks to Rob for pointing this out to me.

Card for Aunt Connie

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted, I've really been slipping up.

I'll get back into Zombie Beach once I'm done writing my story for Gabriel Frizzera to draw in a project we're working on. Deadline's tomorrow. Damn. I'm working on a short story featuring my short film character Peck the Bird though at the moment. An impossibly lonely, socially awkward little shut-in who drinks insurmountable amounts of coffee and suffers from sometimes crippling bouts of paranoia.

Basically it's banal and he does nothing. Anyway, that's almost done being pencilled. I sold the rights to Peck backin in January of 2001 to Film Roman Inc, and next year, unless they renew the contract (why would they?) the rights revert back to me! But either way I'm contractually allowed to use the character for self-promotion so long as I don't make a profit off of it. Which will change next year.

While you're waiting for it, here's a card I drew for my Aunt Connie, who lives in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Life Drawing

Tonight, or since it's 4:30am I guess last night, I had Thanksgiving dinner with my girlfriend and her family. I've known her mom and dad almost as long as I've known her, but I still was nervous about making a good impression. Anyway, I think I did all right, dinner was delicious, I love turkey, and I love LeeAnn. It's late/early and I'm feeling goopily romantic, so there, I said it. I love my girlfriend.

I've been really shirking my drawing stuff lately, what with the looking for a job and whatnot. But here is some life drawing I did last December. I was pretty happy with it. Click the image for a larger view.

Willy

Someone calling themselves Willy "Old Fuck" Fuckstein posted a comment on the previous comic strip in the comments box. I found it so funny, that I had to draw it. Now, I don't know who this person is, so I credited the persona, and will link to the site linked to his handle. A Warning though, his site is definately not to my tastes in *any* way (no offense, Willy) but since I'm using his words, I'll give 'im the link. Thanks, man. Bravo. (Link Not Safe for Work)

Also, Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canucks.

The New Adventures of Robot Monster! page 3

Gabriel and I got together and drew for almost 4 hours today, and managed to do a bit more of Robot Monster. Here is page 3. I did panels 1, 3, 5 and Gabriel did panels 2, 4, and 6.
