Standard Made - Adam Rogers

It shouldn't be any secret that I love furniture. So why don't I ever write about the furniture I love? A few months ago I came across the work of a fella' named Adam Rogers.

We've got a lot of projects happening/or about to happen at the ol' apartment. I'm refinishing a great mid-century Baumritter New York lounge chair at the moment. I'll do a post on that when I'm finished. I'm taking my sweet time with this one though. I got it at Savers for $7 - no cushions or webbing though, just bare, lovely bones.

APF

Guys! I'll be sharing a table with Emily Moroz at the Alt Press Fest TODAY at the downtown library, 3 - 9. I've got a new mini-comic printed up called Collect. It is a small collection of my comics, including some old favorites - Beer Facial and Winter Legs, and some never printed ones from the vault! Stop by!

MOUNTAIN GOATS

You know what, I have a sketchbook from 2008 full of "journal comics" that I never put on the internet. Last night I went to see The Mountain Goats play at Urban Lounge. I was reminded of a comic I made about the first time I saw The Mountain Goats. So here it is:



Never mind the incorrect lyric. I'm an idiot! But the way I captured John Darnielle still makes me giggle. He looks like Harry Potter!
