Its always great fun hearing her tell me (or see her doodle) ideas for the strip and the next day or so seeing them posted online. (Compared to how my ideas take ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=43 At the Laughs At Lakeside gallery show, I met quite a few Ohio artists & cartoonists and was lucky enough to have some of them join the cartoonist group, Sunday Comix. One of them was the “newly minted” cartoonist Sue Olcott (that's her on the left talking with another ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=41 Cerebus Fangirl (aka Margaret) posted a bunch of photos from this past weekend.  I am so thankful for all the support I got from every one of the Cerebus Yahoo Group members who attended the show!  Below is a photo of all after the yearly post-SPACE-dinner at Schmidt's Sausage Haus ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=38 My good friend Steve Peters came in from Willow Grove, PA to stay at my place for the weekend.

This was the ninth annual show, last year ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=37 Just a quick post... Whew!  Both gallery shows that I was involved with over this past weekend went great.  (They really wore me out, too!)  Kafe Kerouac's "Komics @ Kerouac" party was a fun time (casual, intimate, busy, laid-back, and so-much-more!)  and the Laughs At Lakeside exhibit opening at the High ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=36 Waiting for my ride so that I can hang these photos on the walls at Kafe Kerouac for the Sunday Comix gallery show. I'm so excited! http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=35 Maybe you know, maybe you don't know... I'm a father. I have three fantastic, wonderful, beautiful teenagers. Two daughters-- Gigi & Ashley and my son Aaron (to whom I dedicated "Barefoot in America, Breakfast in the Park.") Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I don't live with my children and ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=34 I went to Half Price Books yesterday (there are five in Columbus), specifically looking for some music from the Fruit Bats (Mouthfuls, Spelled in Bones) or maybe a Nada Surf CD (none to be found). I ended up buying "The Raw & The Remix," a Fine Young Cannibals remix disc ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=33 I invite you to the opening reception on Sunday, February 3rd, for “Laughs at Lakeside” : Cartoon and Graphic Arts by Ohio artists.  I am one of over a dozen artists on display through February at The High Road Gallery at 12 E. Stafford Ave in Worthington, Ohio.  With the ... http://onwardstudio.ipower.com/MaxBlog/?p=32 A few weeks ago, I joined Martin Wagner's Yahoo! Group. I'd read Mr. Wagner's Hepcats back in the mid 90's (during the Sim-Self-Publishing boom) and he quickly became an influence on my drawing style of the time.
