Also, the Silk Spectre cannot act her way out of a paper bag. [Mar. 3rd, 2009|09:48 am]
Saw Watchmen last night. Was pretty enjoyable, even if it's way too glossy for it's own good and the new ending (while understandable why they did it) is kind of a misfire. The opening credits are some of the best I've ever seen, though.

Anyway, pretty awesome if you're coming at it as a movie fan first and a comics fan second, though if you live and breath funnybooks you'll probably find it a kind of "meh" experience.

Having Bill on your team is sometimes not a good idea. [Feb. 28th, 2009|11:22 am]
You know those projects you sometimes take as a freelance artist where you end up working on a project you hate with people you despise? Well, Leslie Levings and her Beastlies are one such pairing. FO' REALS. When she emailed me in January to ask me if I'd help her with some storyboards for a Beastlies project, I was all like "I'LL ONLY DO THIS IF YOU PAY ME, LIKE, A MILLION GODDAMNED DOLLARS BECAUSE I HATE YOU AND YOUR GODDAMNED BEASTLIES".

Now that I'm sailing the seas with the solid-gold boat I bought with my Beastlies blood-money (Did you know that a million dollars is nothing to someone living in L.A., especially someone who's fiancee is a drug mule for the Russian mob?), I feel comfortable posting an excerpt from said storyboards.



That said, Leslie is gonna be at this year's Stumptown Comics Fest here in Portland in April. If you don't show up and buy 3 Beastlies apiece, I will sit on you in person.

"I have never sold everything, everything" [Feb. 6th, 2009|09:12 am]


It's rare that I ever get to use this phrase, but due to popular demand (and thanks to Liz Collier and Les McClaine!) prints of the my 1up/EGM retrospective/anniversary thingamabob are now available for sale.

Prints! [Feb. 4th, 2009|02:32 pm]
Anyone out there familiar with print-on-demand joints online who'll ship your prints directly to people who order them rather than sending a pile of prints directly to your door to distribute them?

I want to sell copies of the 1up/EGM tribute image I created earlier this month, but I don't want to take a bath on printing/shipping costs on my own, especially since I'm relatively broke AND have no idea what the real demand for these things are. (I tried setting up an account with inprnt.com several weeks ago but they seem to suck the root big time when it comes to cusomer service.)

The song to be played at your funeral as your corpse is being laid into the ground - what will it be? Go crazy, folks.

Okay Bill, knock it off - time to look for paying work again. Like, NOW. Rent is due, son.

Can you tell that I'm bummed about the closing of EGM? [Jan. 16th, 2009|12:32 am]


Yeah, I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.

Most of the gaming podcasts I listen to killed off in one blow. Argh. [Jan. 7th, 2009|12:57 am]
I never knew anyone could have a bad day while watching other people's livelihoods implode over the internet, but this day was it. I spent the whole shebang watching the 1up.com/EGM empire suddenly cave in on itself, taking most of it's staff to their doom.

Damn, man. Seriously.

Calling Chewetel Eijiofor or Helen Mirren.... [Jan. 3rd, 2009|10:36 am]
Man, seriously, how many Doctors do we have to plow through before we get to one who ain't (1) white, (2) British or (3) a dude?

This is in reply to Anne's fantastic Penguin Mug video:



Anyway, I hope everyone had a good holiday. I got socks and fudge (socks courtesy of the way too cool Brenna Zedan), so I can't complain.

Someday, legend will tell of Bill Mudron's noble efforts to travel to the distant land known as 'Frederick Meyer' to procure an obscure treasure known as a 'Christ-mas Eve Turkey', only to be struck down by the snow and ice demons that laid waste to all known methods of transportation and made a journey on foot nigh impossible for a fat man who wanders the world in treadless Chuck Taylor shoes.

AND LO, OUR HERO'S QUEST WAS FOR NAUGHT AND HE DECIDED TO ORDER A PIZZA INSTEAD. LET US PRAY THAT SAID 'PIZZA MAN' WILL HEAR HIS PITIFUL CRY FOR HALP AND DESCEND FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITH SOME HOT WINGS IN TIME FOR TONIGHT'S SHOWING OF IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

Also, it was Tom Waits' birthday yesterday (something that no fewer than 3 people I know remembered off the top of their head), and so, yeah:

So, birthday! [Dec. 8th, 2008|01:53 am]




Needless to say, there was much Rockband-ing! Thanks again to all of you bozos who showed up/rocked out/geeked out or just mailed gifts (BRENNA I AM LOOKING AT YOU.) (Also special thanks for Steve for recording my fat ass singing "Still Alive" - believe it or not, that's not much different than my natural singing voice. Hooboy.)

Anyway, this year's haul of stuff was eclectic as all hell:

(Click through to see the Flickr notes detailing who doled out what.) Of special note is the Anne Frank doll that Brenna made for me quite a while back and that I thought I'd blogged about it but it seems that I never have. I am a JERK. In fact, I should also hire Brenna to make an army of these things for Stumptown next year. Seriously.
