Stolen from everyone:
The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious but you have no idea about. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you! |

| Good News! |

I got a somewhat regular gig as the artist on a new print comic. Not much money, not much recognition, and not too interesting, but it'll cover rent and pad my resume.

Make a comment in this entry. I'll go to your profile, pick 3 userpics and interests, and then you explain them in your journal. Include this text or not.
This is what Arch chose for me:
Offbeat role playing games: I honestly can't remember what I ment when I added this. I think I was refering to the non-D&D tabletop Aaaarpeegees that I was enjoying with my pals in Minnesota like Changeling (where you play as a reincarnated fairy tale character of your own design in the modern world: I was a classic hedonistic pirate) or the psyonics-in-the-future-one-I-can't-remember-the-name-to-but-I-think-begins-with-"A" (where I was an electronics-empath stuntman/rockstar named Axe Bastard). Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it wasn't me saying how much a fan of kinky bedroom theatrics I am like acting out an R rated "Little Red Riding Hood". Although I do have the required chest rug to play the wolf part.
The Future!: Who doesn't love The Future! (always spelled with an exclamation point, like "Science!") All the possibilities, all the promise, all the hot Jetsons-girls in thier plastic mini-skirts... Anyway, on that note, let me say how conficted I am on my feelings on the revamping done on Tomorrowland a while back. On an asthetic level, I love it. I love my retro-future with fins and art-deco-ness. On the other hand, I hate the principal behind it. Tomorrowland was supposed to be tbe constantly updating optimistic vision of the future. But how they did the redesign, they've given up on looking forward and just take a nostalgic look back on how we used to anticipate the world of tomorrow. It's so damned defeatistic and depressing an attitude.
Spacegirls: Bubble helmets...form-fitting spandex...classic pin-up...Oh Yeah....
 Flying Squid Army: From the pages of Mark Trail. Someday, somehow, I'm going to feature a flying squid army of death in one of my comics. There is no avoiding making the "Oh S**T" face when you've got hundreds of phalic-lookin' six-armed creatures launching themselves through the air at you. Death From Above, Baby!
 Love You Madly: From the pages of Peanuts (specifically, the "Unseen Peanuts" free comic book day special). The dialoge, if you can't read it in it's smallitude, is boy-"Don't you love me anymore, Patty?" Patty-"How's your comic-book collection coming?" boy-"I bought four more yesterday...." Patty-"I love you madly." Just goes to show that if you want any affection, you've gotta bring somethin' to the table, be it stunning good looks, impressive talent, or material wealth.
 Sad, Sad Taco Bell Dog: From the pages of Brenda Starr, Ace Reporter/Detective/Reporter again. Seriously, you should be reading this comic in case a storyline comes along again like this one. It's got everything: prison culinary conspiracies, a celebrity chef smuggling drugs inside smuggled chihuahuas and cooking the unsold canines to feed to his restaurant patrons, a bondaged red-head spitting an apple square into the villian's crotch, Rip Taylor sporting an emo comb-over... Well, I figured I needed a "I'm Sad *weep* *weep*" icon for my lj repotoire, and the villian here looked pretty much like how I looked at the time what with the chubby face and the tiny goatee. But it's the chihuahua licking the tear that really makes this picture. Them tiny shaved bastards love the taste of our dispair. "Yo Quiero Your Pain, Human" |

[Feb. 11th, 2007|09:52 pm] |
I need to come up with a new domain name since I lost teaguetysseling.com to one of those damn URL resellers just because I forgot to renew it for a month. I've tried getting it back but they want just too damn much money for it.
So, any suggestions for a name for my portfolio site? |

The entire series was created as an R rated prequel to Family Circus!

Happy Birthday to me
I'd planned on celebrating by going to play Mini-Golf and then hitting a strip club (You know, keeping things balanced), but everyone I wanted to hang out with had work and stuff.
So I just ended up going to California Adventure to check out the "Screamin'" roller coaster and then came home to veg out.
Did get around to scanning some pages from my sketchbook though.
All characters from the "Zachary Nixon Johnson: Last Freelance PI of the Future" books (who here can name them all?) |

So I've still got enough of my cold left to make me coughy and uncomfortable.
On the way to work, my car kaput-ed and I had to get it towed to a garage.
The guy from the garage was nice enough to give me a ride to work....that lasted forever because of construction.
AND HERE'S THE IRONY, we were about ten blocks from getting there when The Mechanic's Car BROKE DOWN.
So all in all I got to work about two and a half hours late, just to find that the Jazz Kitchen (one of the DTD restaurants) has make their wireless internet password protected, cutting me off from all internet goodness while at work.
Took too buses to get home (having to run to catch both of them) by around 1:00 am.
...But at least my comic is updating again.
So how was your Friday the Thirteenth? |

Apparently there's some sort of cartoonist flu going around. Petie's got it, Troutman's got it, I've got it.
I probably wasn't hit as hard because I'm not updating yet, as I haven't blown chunks (although doing so seems like a nice idea just to get it out of my system). |

So I was working on my comic at about 1'O clock in the morning, trying to figure out HOW IN THE HELL did I trick myself into doing MAD About U. in full color.
I mean, I started out just black and white brushpen drawings. They'd be quick and easy to keep a 3 day a week schedual. Then my first hiatus hit, not from business in real life or some emergency or even a vacation, but because I had a whole storyline drawn, ready to letter, and decided, in my editorial arrogance that "it just wasn't worth posting. It didn't bring anything to the story or characters (other than about a two friggin' month buffer)".
Then after coming back, I had been smitten with the two tone visuals of Vera Brosgol's comic, Return To Sender and decided to try the same thing, but with prismacolor markers for texture. I kept adding more and more tints.
The 3D story came and it'd have been just too much of a bitch to do the effects over marker colored backgrounds, so once the multi-dimentional beings came in, I started coloring on just the computer.
The final slip was coloring on the computer with all those purples and little other tinted colors like peach or brown skin, or red for Francis' shirt and I thought "Y'know, why don't I do this with other base color palletes for different lighting/effects/moods for each scene/setting?" BECAUSE IT'D TAKE TOO DAMN LONG is what I should have said. Sigh.
Oh well, at least they're looking nice. |

| | Poor Unfortunate Souls - Little Mermaid | ] |
I was going to wait until Thursday to pick up the Little Mermaid: SP when I went in to work....but I'm weak willed.
I was also going to only get the Little Mermaid.....but they had the horror classics THEM, House of Wax with Vincient Price, and a Villiage of the Damned/Children of the Damned double pack for five bucks each...and I'm weak willed.
P.S. Ariel swooning over Sabastian in the Little Mermaid 3 preview creeped me out a lot more than it should have.
P.P.S. I just found a neat-o Easter Egg on the bonus features dvd on Little Mermaid. On the "Treasures Untold" menu on the left side in the clouds you can highlight a dinglehopper and click it to view a video of Musker and Clemens drawing caricatures of each other. |

| 6 Things About The Teague |

Ok, got tagged by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) eyo.
**1**My name is celtic and means "poet", but my folks just picked it out of a baby name book. My actual heritage is German and some Germans who bought a windmill and decided to be dutch for a while.
**2**When I was a little kid, I either wanted to be a cartoonist or a mechanical engineer. Whenever Valentine's day rolled around in elementary school I would make some complicated chutes/levers/rubber-band-spring-loaded contraption for my paper valentines mail box for my desk.
**3**I've got my own Ukulele and have taught myself a few songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", "California Girls", and the theme song to Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers. Honestly though, I originally thought about getting a regualar guitar, but figured I wasn't a sexy enough person to be a guitarist. I also tried to learn accordion, but that thing's just too damn complicated.
**4**I'm a total flake when it comes to collaboration projects. Just ask troutman, catharsis_, or prankster36.
**5**I've been around smokers my whole life. First my father, then my roomate in San Francisco, My best friend in Ukiah, and a temporary roomie/leech in Minneapolis. Now I smoke. Can you get addicted from second hand?
**6**The best years of my life so far were living in San Francisco and hanging out at the Isotope. I had my first drink of booze there. One day I was just walking into the store as usual and Larry Young shoved a scotch glass into my hand and said "Teague, drink this!" I downed it before asking what it was. Later on Larry apologized saying he didn't know it was my first drink and he was sorry that he had now spoiled me for other scotches. It was good stuff, but I still enjoy plenty other scotch now.
Ok, now I tag:
petie_s
archangela_az
troutman
styletax
catharsis_

6 hours of drawing drunken pretty people in a nightclub.
Straigt up drawing with sarpies. 'Cause you're not hardcore unless you live hardcore. Fuck penciling first!
Now I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the Great Muppet Caper, best Muppet movie ever. |
