Dumpling Zen [Comic]

Posted September 27, 2013 at 12:00 am

I often find that zen zone when I'm doing something that's slightly mindless and repetitive, like coding HTML or mowing the lawn or cooking something or even coloring some times. I can just turn off my brain and let go.

Also dumplings. I want more dumplings!!!!

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE (REPOST)

Next week, I’ll be hanging out at Artisphere in Arlington as part of the DC Conspiracy Magic Bullet artist in residence program (you know, I should probably get out to one of their meetings some day). I’ll be there Thursday and Saturday to hang out and draw comics to anyone who comes and checks out the exhibit. There will be pages from previous issues of Magic Bullet on display which should be a lot of fun.

So come on down, hang out, and draw some comics with me!

There's zen in all kinds of pinching!

PANEL 1

No dialog. Exterior of Chez Wong.

PANEL 2

Bodie wiggles his fingers.

BODIE

Ah man, didn't think my fingers would get sore from dumpling pinching.

KANE

You know, I kinda liked it. It was a nice change of pace.

PANEL 3

Kane smiles and poses with his hands.

BODIE

You mean you don't enjoy sending comps back and forth only to lose the gig?

KANE

There's a calming zen to the repetition of the pinching.

PANEL 4

Bodie gestures towards his mouth. Kane leans back and rubs his belly.

BODIE

And you get to eat them when you're done!

KANE

That's the best part!

Everyone is an artist until some "adult" fucks it up

Posted December 24, 2020 at 01:15 pm

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
