Barista Powers: Yes We Came Back To Make That Joke

If like me your pop culture knowledge drops precipitously after 2000, you may need to watch this and this first.  Also, for reasons unknown, my eraser smeared Doug all around.

Postcards: Maren's Last Supper

Before she left us for Texas... an idea I still have some feels about... Maren asked me to draw a Barista Powers Last Supper for her.  

It was in my Field Notes; it must worked on.  I began with researching the Last Supper and doing some sketches.

And from there onto the actual postcard:

After getting this far, I started scanning my progress, convinced I would ruin the card at some stage.

And there you have it.

I Am A Lifecoach

Don't You Sass Me

I was in BD for a few days, and that was enough to rock out a few comics.  Can I keep it rolling?  Magic 8-Ball says "Reply hazy try again."  Fountain pens to learn about.  Prompts to draw.  Dreams to document.  Photos to edit.  What is a barista to do?

There is a lot going on here.

As you may have to put together by now, my organizational skills are not often actually put into practice.  I have, in searching for a specific piece of paper, found quite a few random pieces of paper.  Would you like to go on this journey with me?


I am pretty sure that Kenny drew this.  He has drawn my death more than any other coworker.

With great frequency, Maren exclaims "Rob!  Do you know what you should draw?"  She then goes on to ramble on about whatever has most recently crossed her stream of consciousness.  She sometimes goes as far as mostly drawing a comic.  This is one such time.

Sometimes I just can not complete an idea.  Mostly I get stuck searching for a solid last panel, though on occasion I trip up on moving my characters from the beginning to the end.  Sometimes I scrap the entire idea.  Other times I will shorten a six panel comic down to three panels.  On this comic I needed all the panels to show off the portal system... and so I ended on a skeleton playing guitar?

Guest Comic: I Am Sure It Is Not Important

Kenny drew this speculative fiction about a little metal piece I found.

Self Reflection

I just started drawing.  That's it.  I just drew me, and hoped something would happen.

I Work With What I've Got

We're back!  For at least a little bit.  AT&T finally restored our internet.  What were they handing over to the government that whole time I wasn't using the interwebs?

Nuka Cafe

The launch of Fallout 4 meant a serious drop in attendance at workplaces across the globe.

Something Seems Different

We have a new espresso machine.  Synesso, MVP Hydra.

Come Back Tomorrow

As you can see, I've run out of steam.  Some excuses, and random panels I found in a drawer.  I didn't even draw that third panel.
