if i sold $75 worth of art every week, then i could afford to only work 5 days a week, and then have more time to draw.

just thinking out loud.

winnergirl asked: What do you do for a living, and why are you not an artist for a living?

currently, i am a stock boy at a wine store in NYC.

i am an artist for a living, i just don’t, you know, make a living at it.

i had to abandon a drawing, sent it straight out to sea. i don’t really do this anymore (hardly ever) but it had to be done and then i turned around and did this and lo, there are mistakes and mistakes and more then i would normally tolerate. but, fuck it, i let this one take me along for the ride, and here it is. 11” x 14” with the quills.

also, for some absurd reason, i normally start drawings in the middle (or thereabouts) but this one began in the lower left corner.

you know, the devil gave us four corners. i just thought you should know.

doing two things at once.

prettylittleideas asked: Do you have an online portfolio/ contact info ?

this tumblr is my “online portfolio” for what it’s worth, even though people over the years have advised me to get a “real” site. to be honest, i never really thought it was necessary since i don’t make a living from this, which is probably a terrible excuse but that’s about the long and short of it. also, computers: blarhg.

if anyone wants to contact me you can send me a message here or, what the heck, at blackirish72@yahoo.com.

arrowaway asked: Why

school was unpleasant, to say the least.

i’m working on a “comic book.”

or something.

arrowaway asked: When I saw your name I almost cried. I had a rooster, I raised him and he was great until he got attacked then all he did was attack us. I had to get the neighbor to shoot him-I cried. his name was Doodle.

this reminds me of high school.

i switched to a new brand of ink.

nothing terrible happened.

holla!

all my inspiration/motivation comes to me about 5 minutes before i go to bed.
