Day 1168 of 365 4 lyf. Way back when i was unemployed and first getting into this project, one of my favorite things to do was take pictures in different locations. Using neat scenery. As time went on, I kind of fell out of that. No time to go anywhere, no energy to be inventive.…

Day 1158 of 365 4 lyf. Yes, it’s a cameraphone picture. But I swear, it wasn’t done out of laziness. I just wanted a chance to use Photoshop on my iPhone. It may not be a DSLR. It may not be a 300mm ƒ1.2 lens. It may not be high art by any means. But…

Day 1014 of 365 Again. So, according to my mom, my little nephew has been practicing the ancient ninja art of invisibility. Everyone apparently just thought it cute and silly, since he’s only a year old, but the more I think about it, maybe the kid is a genius. So I’ve been practicing it myself…

Day 793 of 365 Again. I am sooooooo tired… Had a shoot today on the otherside of the world. York County, Pennsylvania, which as far as I can tell is somewhere year Tokyo. Felt like it when I drove there anyway. The only shots I took of myself were lighting tests, so that’s what you…

Day 655 of 365 More.

People always tell me that I never use enough color in my self-portraits. I take the vast majority of them in my darkened studio, just because its easy for me. I decided last night that today I’d take something more colorful. Only after a day at work, it becomes evident that I really don’t go all that many colorful places on a regular day. So I did all I could do, when I got home from work, I took a shot in my front yard. I actually have some really pretty bushes in my yard, so it kind of worked out.

And look, I’m not even wearing black today. Aren’t you impressed.

Wanted to make sure I got this shot done and posted early tonight so I could work on Thursday’s Cosmic Hellcats comic. If you’re not reading it, you should, I think the story is moving along nicely, and I’m rather proud of it.

Also, Stephen was nice enough to draw some Hellcats fan art" which I’ve posted to the site. If you can draw or even if you can’t, I’d love it if you sent us some Hellcats fan art to add to the collection too. Either post it to flickr and tell me here(I miss a lot of what gets posted to flickr, even by my contacts, sadly) or email it to us at feedback@cosmichellcats.com and I’ll toss it up on the website too.

And tell all your friends to read the comic too. The more people reading it, the sooner I can be a fulltime cartoonist, and when i am, that will give me more time for photography too, and you’ll be able to enjoy my art all the more, and you can say "I knew him when…"

See, everybody wins.

Day 587 of 365 More. Today I am phoning it in… heehee… get it? Actually, I really just wanted to see how good the quality of an iPhone portrait was. The answer… err… it’s this good. The problem with this whole comic book thing is that really, its all I’m doing with my life. I…

Day 8 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’m in the second week and still going strong. I have a wrestling show today and I’ve been wanting to find some way to take a picture of myself while I’m in the ring, but I haven’t figured out a good way to do it. Sure, I…
