THE LEGEND OF BRUNHILD (a rerun)

2012-01-05T16:38:00.000-08:00

This was posted piecemeal a few years ago, and when I finally compiled the complete story, in order, it was on my livejournal. I have since forgotten my livejournal password and basically abandoned that blog, but I wanted the final version of this up somewhere. So here it is!

After a long delay, the epic continues....

mild delay

2010-07-14T13:22:00.000-07:00

So my grand plans to post new comics all the time got shanghaied by life, and also by a long-form story that takes a lot of time to draw and plan.

For all four folks that look forward to new content on this page, I apologize.

But do not despair... There is more to come. Just not with the frequency I had initially hoped.

love, Alex

WOLFGANG AND THE WOLFMAN VERSUS THE MUMMY

2010-04-11T20:08:00.000-07:00

"Golly, Wolfman! This Egyptian Tomb shore is spoooky!"
"Grrrrr...."

"Holy Moly! A scarahp-o-gus! And it's em-em-em-em-empty!"

"Herr Mozart! We can conclude from this evidence that the missing remains of a petrified Egyptian have escaped! Ergo... a MUMMY!"
"A m-m-m-m-m-m-MUMMY!?!?! pp-p-p-p.... puh h-h-h-h-huhhhhh..."

"Fret not my musically-inclined companion... I brought along my favorite shotgun, for emergencies just like this!"

I'm gonna try and put up a new random strip every two days. Let's see how long that lasts...

Another "brushes" attempt...

2009-12-14T09:57:00.001-08:00

Still figuring out the tiny canvas known as an iPhone face...

Brushes App on Iphone

2009-12-12T18:40:00.000-08:00

I've been playing with Brushes, and feeling my way around with it... It's a pretty cool app, but it takes a while to get used to drawing with your finger, and the small face of the phone makes for an odd canvas. Anyway, here is one of my Vikings... An early experiment.

Goodbye Season Six

Another strip cross-posted from Projectrungay.blogspot.com

New strips in the new year!

Season Six is over....

2009-11-21T20:43:00.001-08:00

... and I barely drew any comics about it. Here are a few excerpts, cross-posted from Project Rungay

Hilarious!

Out of context!

Butt!

Season 6 has begun....

The Pump House

And with that, I bring tales of Camp Boxman and the Staff therein to a close, for now.
The wee sketchbook is full, and I'm taking a break.

Keep an eye on this space, however, as we will soon see an extended story, ripped from the headlines.... a tale of hubris, finance jocks, and MAXIM magazine, that I have named HENLEY AND THE HEDGE FUND.

Coming soon!

Explosivo!

2009-01-05T13:03:00.000-08:00

I finally finished some more comics, so today is a double-up extravaganza...

Here's another strip crossposted from Project Rungay. This one is about me trying to watch STYLISTA, which is likely the worst TV show I have ever seen. (I don't watch a ton of television...)

More cross-posting...

2008-10-22T06:47:00.000-07:00

I will have some new strips soon... until then, here's another Project Runway item, originally posted here.

Another sketchbook strip...

A quick recap...

And we continue...

THE END

* tip of the pen to Ray Smuckles and Achewood for the phrase "rude titties"

Sorry about the image size on page two up there... photobucket deleted the image, and I couldn't get it resized. My skillz are weak.

2008-08-15T05:53:00.000-07:00

I will have more CAMP TALES up soon... I have been busy drawing strips for PROJECT RUNGAY, the world's greatest PROJECT RUNWAY blog.

The second half of THE OVER TWENTY-ONE CLUB is in progress. This thing is a boobie bar epic.

The Over 21 Club, Part One

Since tomorrow is my birthday, I have drawn a birthday related strip. In Multiple Parts.

Ray Reynolds Takes Camp Seriously

2008-04-07T20:13:00.000-07:00

(It looks like I spelled "weights" wrong on the fourth page. That was pretty stupid. At any rate, like most of these camp strips, this incident is rooted in fact. Someone we worked with actually did this once. What kind of weird-ass guilt fetish do you have to be tripping on to punish yourself by hiking in the July sun with dumbells in a backpack? I still don't get it, but it cracks me up.)

I haven't updated in ages (not that anyone is paying attention).

But here's a strip I did for Project Rungay, a Porject Runway fan site that is pretty much the most popular and awesome PR fan site ever.

Gags by Tom and Lorenzo of PRG... I did several PR related strips before actual work (and the flu, and a root canal) started kicking my behind. It was fun.

This will be the cover for the mini comic:

If you recall, Brunhild has just sent Guttorm to slay Sigurd....

BRUNHILD'S REVENGE

2007-10-08T05:44:00.000-07:00

I am gonna update someday.

2007-09-27T06:25:00.001-07:00

I promise.

BRUNHILD III

DRAW BJORN!

2007-07-19T19:24:00.000-07:00

Folks, i am too busy to update. I mean, I'm really, really busy.

I know this breaks hearts, but do not despair! To fill the void, I am starting a DRAW BJORN contest! Yep, draw my little viking chieftain, post it to your blog, flicker, lj, whatevs, and put a wee linky in the comments.

After a week or so, I will declare a winnah, and give you an awesome prize of some kind. Like a Rocketship hoodie, or THE ART OF BONE. Something good, because I am so full of love.

So that's it- get to it!

THE JOUST

2007-06-16T15:18:00.000-07:00

Another old one.

2007-05-24T12:55:00.000-07:00

You can tell this one is old, because if I drew it in the past three years, Kelly would kill me. Then I would be dead, and this blog wouldn't be here. So the very existence of this blog proves that this is an old strip! Existential!
I found it in an old stack of posters and junk. I would say it was a "buried treasure", except it's stupid and lame.But I like the last drawing of me with a huge beard. So here it is.

I will have new strips up soon, I promise. I haven't been feeling well. What's up with that? It's gorgeous out! Is it exhaustion? Allergies? Stress? The plague?

Who knows?

Another old one...

2007-04-21T07:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry to all three of my loyal readers... this one is from February of 2002.

I am a busy beaver

2007-04-16T21:06:00.000-07:00

But I have a few new strips on the way.

Until then, here is a picture of an updated Sherlock Holmes I drew for the ENGINE. (It's all I have on my hard drive right now.)

No one remarked on it.

Morning Rituals in 2002

2007-03-18T20:28:00.000-07:00

(Another "classic". Apparently, this was a series of rituals I was doing every morning, five years ago. I also apparently had nothing going on at the time. Weird.)

The Warning

2007-03-13T10:50:00.000-07:00

2007-03-11T06:50:00.000-07:00

This is an old one (2002) that I found... it still kind of cracks me up. "Based on a true story..."

2007-03-06T05:55:00.000-08:00

(I had to scan and chop this one up like crazy. That's why the borders are so wonky.)

VIKINGS!

2007-03-04T12:20:00.000-08:00

(I started drawing these guys because I was excited about the upcoming Vertigo publication Northlanders by Brian Wood. That will no doubt be more interesting than my efforts.)
