i luv winter

So if you didn't know this, I love the snow. And I've been a bit bummed lately with the lack of it. So here is a sketch, and my warmest wishes :) Hope you all had/are having a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.

black friday

Happy turkey day everybody! I am super pumped about Thanksgiving(aka eat-to-your-hearts-content). A lovely day full of cooked fowls, mushy potatoes, a parade dedicated to a retail store, and a reminder to Native Americans that they should have let those pilgrims fend for themselves.  But we all know what it is really all about: prep for black friday.  Normally I'm one to wake up early and shop until all of my christmas shopping is complete, but this year I get to see how the other half lives.  So if I don't post anything in a few days please assume that I'm hibernating. We'll see how it goes...

i think i need my ears lowered. a year has been too long.

What's a Chimera?

hey gents and ladies, well I just found out today that my short film (skyfishing)will be screening at the Chimera's Soiree Release party, which sounds pretty fancy. I guess it will also be on a dvd that will be included with each copy of Chimera 9? Honestly, I'm not positive on all of the details but I'm shocked that my project received enough votes to be a part of this. I'm so honored to be alongside so many talented artists.  If you're in the area, stop by the Erie Art Museum Sat night to check out their films!

#4: Have you thought about dessert?

I'd be a zombie with some class. Why not eat brains in a civilized manner? It's all about presentation.

#3: Let's be friends

Wow so sorry, I swear I have not forgotten about my halloween pics! I'm a little slow at this, but I still have a week...sort of.  :)

#2: lime light

#1: ms. speck

Charlotte Speck was 26 when from behind they slashed her neck,

and now a ribbon's tied with dread, so Charlotte Speck can keep her head.

Happy October!

my mural!

oh geeze this is super old now, like this past February old. meh sorry about that. Anyways this is a mural I painted for a local business. I wish I had a better photo so you could see the whole room, oh well.

it happens...

By no means am I going to post a "comic"(if you wanna call it that, I just call them doodles) all the time, But you'll get one if I'm bored at work...so there could be a few.

comic for my cuz

My cousin told me: "Hey, you should try comics! You'd be great at it!" Mmm I'm not the best at thinking up hilarious situations.  Told you, meh, you can decide for yourself.

walk. chalk. talk.

Hello internet, sorry I haven't hung out with you too much...Anyways, I thought I would write a post to rekindle our friendship.  I'm currently in my local Chalkwalk during our summer fest downtown (Celebrate Erie 2011) and I'm pretty excited about it :) It's my 3rd time being involved now and I would love it if you'd come and visit me so we can catch up, whether it be my phone an ipad, or what have you.


                                                                                                    Best wishes,
                                                                                                                      CM

It's House Music

Alright, so just doodles from my sketch book, an ode to jersey shore, for displaying classy, poised and conservative demeanors.  No I don't watch it that much, but my roommates like to keep up, so  that means I keep up too. It's a feel-good show.  Whenever I watch it, I just feel so good about myself.
