The start of regular updates! (fffffaaaaaammmous laaaaaast wooooordssss...)

Hello! I'm trying to get back into regular updates from here on out. It's my goal to update at least once a week, so here's to a new leaf.

I've been working on some projects to beef up the design-side of my portfolio. Clearly, this Big Bird isn't part of it, but I think you'd all get a kick out of it, and I've got an idea for a show proposal that would use it, and that'd be pretty kick-ass if I can make it work. We shall see...

My girlfriend works with senior citizens, and asked me to do a comic for a newsletter for the community group she volunteers for. It's probably not very clear what this is about, but it relates to a big art event that takes place in the part of Minneapolis we work in.

I recently completed this personal project called the ACGL, or the American Continental Gridiron League. It's a fictional football league that existed between 1986 and 1988. The premise is that EVERY state in the union got a football team. But as you read about the teams by clicking on a map, it becomes clear why the league didn't last. It's inspired by this episode of The Dork Forest with Jackie Kashian. It's a hoot of an episode!
(Incidentally, I was on this episode. I say "right" an awful lot, and inadvertently make a creepy response about Snapchat, but I do get to talk about Trans-Humanism, so that's pretty cool. She's awesome) Well, it's late, and I've got to get back to my design. Talk to you soon!
