Cartoon Chair-man

I spent a fair amount of time at the drawing board and at the computer, and lately I’ve noticed that as I unfold my 6’4″ frame from the $50 desk chair that I use as both locations, that my back is really starting to hurt.

So I decided to splurge a bit and get myself some new sittin’ stuff!

Here’s the new desk chair

Leapchair

(Word on the street is that my productivity should go up 17.8% after plunkin’ down my heinie!)

And here’s the new drawing table stool

Swopper



Is that funky or what?! (BTW, mine is gonna be orange! Hoo-hoo!)

Anyway, the ol’ back is already looking forward to its comfy new digs!

My Office – One Year Later

About a year ago I blogged about the office I got when we bought new new house.

I got a lot of grief about how clean it was, so I thought, one year later, I’d give you another look:

My inbox, and Pinchy the unfinished robot

My desk; not too bad

Lots more books than last time. And this…

…my Dwight bobble head!

Where “the magic” happens.

All in all, a respectable amount of clutter, without being overrun. Not too bad.

On My Desk: Andertoons Edition

There’s a neat blog called On My Desk where artists show you where they work.

And, lucky you, today you can look at my office/studio!

Regular readers have probably already seen some of this, but there’s a lot of really creative sloppy people with pics up over there too. What fun!

Here’s a sneak peek at my idea box:

Pics Around the House

I was working on sending out paks of cartoons today, as well as sending out some Ebay stuff, drawing new cartoons, and working on an elaborate hobo illustration. So, neatnik that I am, I thought a shot of my desk at its worst might be interesting:

I even thought this picture of our dog, Satchel, posing pretzel-like, might be the pic of the day:

But then, while playing with my son in his room, there was a rather loud noise, and something big sliding quickly down his window. I ran downstairs to find this in the back yard:

OK, not a huge deal, but I just paid a boatload to have a giant willow taken down after a big storm. Why do my trees all hate me?!

Pretty good, but, the pic of the day has to be this:

What is it, you ask? My wife is a wonderful baker, and baked two loaves of cinnamon swirl break from scratch this afternoon. This is the dough, freshly risen. (It’s covered in saran wrap.)

Here’s the final product:

A good day for pictures!
