For those of you who don’t know it, today is National AIDS Awareness Day. So as you see people running about in red, it’s not for the holidays, but in acknowledgment of those friends and loved ones we have lost. And speaking of things you don’t have to be gay to get in bed (it [...]
My first introduction to Bernard and the Springbots was during my skimming of J’s existing comic material. Needless to say i was able to categorize them with everything else under “WTF?!”. But given some time to process and realize …
We are taking this week off from your regularly scheduled comic strip to allow Jon some more time to develop the nest page as it is character driven. This week I present you will a look at Bernard, Larry’s right hand man. Bernard first appeared way back in comic #18 and has continued to be Larry’s only [...]
After what I consider to be a major fail ( artist fumble with decent recovery ), I am proud to say that this week’s comic is by-far my best piece out of the CGI work I have done. Contrary to my previous pieces which I often wish were a little lighter, I actually wish this [...]
Time to Prioritize the Priorities I find that again, I have some very mixed feelings about the final outcome of this weeks comic.

For anyone not familiar with environmental design, lighting is one of the most powerful tools at a producers finger [...]
The A-blocks-alypse There is a reason while literally hundreds of people are employed in the CGI business, full time. Creating a compelling and interesting environment is hard. Doing it in the real work takes 100s of people, and they can just go down to Valoo Villaj and just buy things to populate a room or [...]
Y3CL -back to the humor Like do many of my grand ideas, Y3CL had a lot of high hopes and expectations. That I have more or less failed to meet. Getting a dozen or more pages done, having all my assets and characters built, having a solid story line written. the one thing I did [...]
Chapter one starts here! I still need to think of a good title for chapter one. Don’t worry though, I will think of something EPIC! The next few weeks Jon will handle the blog duties and be talking about his process. I will make some notes but you will mostly hear from him. If you [...]
