LUCY BELLWOOD LIKES YOUR BOAT

Totally blown away to see Baggywrinkles make an appearance on Tony Cliff’s 12 From 2012 list over at Paste Magazine. Wow.

(For those of you who don’t know Tony’s work, be sure to check out the adventures of Delilah Dirk!)

Drowning From Obsession by Thomas Wightman

As part of a final year class project, Thomas needed to convey his principal theme in the form of a vehicle: creating a paper boat that sailed the edges of a book which, when opened, revealed the cut-out vortex of OCD inside, an experience not dissimilar to drowning, but a tethered anchor represents the truth that there’s always a way out.

The book arts nerd and the boat nerd in me are both doing a little dance right now.

Today is my birthday. A lot of people asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I couldn’t think of anything (except maybe Legos). I thought it would be nicer if instead I gave something to everyone else, an open invitation to We Draw Comics.

For the entirety of today (September 19th) We Draw…

I’ve heard the advice,”Fake it ‘til you make it!” more times than I care to count. I’ve never given it much thought. I mean, it sounds good and people say it all the time so it must be right, right?

But I started thinking about it this week and I’ve decided I kind of hate it.

Without any context, “Fake it ‘til you make it!” is pretty horrible advice. If you fake the wrong thing you run the risk of being branded a liar and ruining your reputation before it can really begin.

Fake what?

When?

How?

Read this week’s post. (And if you haven’t been to the website in a while, go now! It’s all brand new and pretty!)

Sound advice in this week’s Work Made for Hire blog. Tell your cat how much you’re worth!

This is a comic I drew to help me feel better about a lot of things. It was exhibited at the Fumetto International Comics Festival in Luzern, Switzerland.

Fabulous.
