I have a Facebook fan page, and Twitter, and i’m embarrassed by how much fun I’ve been having blathering on and uploading sketches. It took only two seconds of soul searching to find out why this is so rewarding for me: I am full of ridiculous things with no direct outlet.yapyap.jpgHaha, so bear with me, Internettes.

I’m so glad to get to interact with people, who look at my drawings! Getting to banter, and get feedback, it’s such a reward to socialise about these ideas, since it keeps me alone to draw them.  I wanted to tell a story about my meditation, cus its been so neat, and I havn’t got enough of a chance to share. Also, everybody been blogging about lizard brains, and how can I not tell you about my experiences, when I feel like I know a little bit? Many of my friends, who have to listen to me, think the whole thing is hogwash, and I quite invite being thought of as silly. Even if you don’t believe my interpretation of what happens during my practice, just believe that this is my perception, and it makes me happy!

there’s a flickr  meme about Lolita covers. This is mine. I have no idea how to get it into the group tho! I think that would take me a fair bit of time to figure out.lolitaweb.jpg

I had considered myself so much as deformed at times, and I times I have been. I realize now I only have minor scars.

I’m doing more sketching lately, on the blank pages in between work projects. I’ve found the only way to trick myself into having fun drawing a convenience store is to let myself also draw whatever I else wanted. What came out today was a dark meditation of my pain! How Gothic~!  This is a journal type sketch of all my worst physical injuries, minus a few broken bones and concussions, with a scoop of embellishment.

mydeformities.jpg

And while drawing some parts still frightened me in a familiar way, I also found it soothing. Because I have healed. And I remember how resilient a body can be.

After I sketched that scary man who murdered somebody, I wanted to do a few sweeter things. Here is one inspired by all those gorgeous 30’s 40’s and 50’s valentines.pufvalentineweb.jpgAnd then I had a dreamy photo laying around, so I turned it into an impression of falling in love. Not that I would know.vlovefeelings.jpgAnd here is a pic I took because I was being very silly, and started a fan page on facebook. Yup. That’s my pug. Dunno about the brassiere.

The Adventures of Poppycock and Boulderdash.

This is the new big deal, a comic strip that will soon have its own website, animations, and if you love it enough and clap your hands, life! The whole comic is plotted out as a contained story, and every strip has a punchline that we find knee slapping. I formally invite you to open your hearts, minds, and chuckle pusses, wide for:

Harrumph! The Adventures of Poppycock and Boulderdash

Words, Primarily : Riley Michael Parker

Pictures, Primarily : Carolyn Main

Click on any comic to make bigger. There is some detail there!

And! We have 15 strips. Ready to go. We are looking to find a print home in every alt weekly worth it’s salt. And we will have a webcomic presence, it is in the works. Please help me welcome Poppycock and Boulderdash into the world, hurrah.

“Boulderdash is a cock. Poppycock is a prick. Plants and robots are nearer to each other on the moral spectrum than most people would like to think. ~ Nicholas Gurewitch

“Carolyn Main combines the sexy with the toxic, and the offensive with the adorable in a brand new, compelling way. And the comic she’s doing with Riley Michael Parker is good too.” ~ Scott Allie

Hello Internettes!

This is Harrumph!, the new comic from Portland creatives Riley Michael Parker and Carolyn Main. These first comics introduce the two main characters - Poppycock the robot and Boulderdash the cactus - as well as our dark and wordy sense of humor. But these are only a taste of things to come. We have an entire year worth of comics written and storyboarded, with multiple story arcs and strong character development, not only for Poppycock and Boulderdash, but for all of our side characters as well, like Sugarplum and Ruby Goldmine, and a handful of others who have yet to be introduced.

Both Riley Michael Parker and Carolyn Main have strong and growing fanbases in Portland Oregon and beyond - Riley for his fiction writing, and Carolyn for her work as an illustrator and animator -  and though few have seen Harrumph! there is already a lot of buzz about it from those who have. BzzBzz Bzzzz.

Despite interest, we have opted not to release this beginning thread of comics to the public, because our goal is to have the characters grow with the widest audience possible, and we hope that you will support this comic by giving us a spot in your paper. We feel very strongly that publishing in the weekly alternative papers around the country will be the most effective way to serialize such character based absurdism to a large and unwittingly eager audience. There has been a gaping hole in the alternative comics pages since the retirement of Nicholas Gurewitch and his magnificent strip The Perry Bible Fellowship, and the public has been waiting for a comic such as Harrumph! to come along and take its place.

But don’t just take our word for it. Take your time and read through the comics, and read what other people have already been saying, and then get back to us. We look forward to hearing from you.

There’s a few here that still need coloring, we will do that very shortly.

“half the drawings you do are of yourself”

Ah, stuff it though.  The Portland Review asked me to do a little one, in that they are featuring many artists’ portraits. Ifind it interesting to see artists and compare and contrast that to how they look, everybody’s style seems almost to come from the wiered ways that person looks, then the person learns how to draw, then, all the drawings miiiight be traceable to the artist and their particular features. Mebbe. ITs unproven. Any how!

Ah, yes. Stumptown has come and gone, and this, was a lovely little year. No Dramaz!!!111  Least, not for me, or not much! But, any creative commerce type thing, wow. I’m sure some had their hearts pumped and broken.

I’m glad to have pumped a few, by handing out our impressive arrary of awards. Total shout out to Bobby “fatboy” Roberts, one of those charismatic nerds who can hold a mic.

It is a time when my eggs tend to hatch. The Bridge Anthology made its sell out debut, and I have to say, I’m fairly proud of my piece in it I did with Jesse Baggs. Soon, I’ll put it up here with those flippers, I say. Ours is all about Dramas, and Dramas @ Stumptown, specifically! So, it was fun to see printed while there, with most of the cameos of comics peeps actually there, with actually reading it there. So meta.

Yes, you should buy one, sure. I am espesh geeked to be one page away from two of my favorite cartoonists, who even teamed up! Graham Annable and Scott C. Now, I’ve seen them make books together for years, so, they didnt meet online as a comics E blind date like Jesse and I, and it shows in the charming collaboration. I wont give to much away from Annable and C’s, but, it includes Shang Hi-ing and fresh apples.

Other than that, I just tabled, got encouragement, and acquired some new comics.

One, by J. Fish, had me  regress to my SNES RPG 11 year old self. He made an avatar type sprite of himself that is all “david the gnome” in the woods, rescuing the little animals that knights come by and slaughter. Phew, I been guilty of that like a billion times. Great read! I made some fan art of what my lil sprite might be like… I think she would be some drunk, disposed royalty, who, natch, rides a pug steed through the woods. But we all can dream.

Something green, so it looks the same coming out as it did going in.

This is something I drew a few years ago, when I was playing around with my style, and learning programs.  Not a drawing of high concepts, so much as whimsical thang.

So, I doodled this, then had fun, then decided to finish it. Y know, while I was supposed to be doing something more productive. It’s only this year that I’ve really understood the black and white, screwball romantic comedy. There is something so lush about those films, and how amazing are the old STARS? There was a reason we used to call them stars. I know Cary Grant married five times, was rumored to be gay, AND got in trouble for spanking his wives, but you watch  Arsenic and Old Lace and you tell me he’s not perfect.  So, all that musta been in my mind when I drew this.

carygrantbw-copy.jpg

Catch the sexual subtext? Subtle, for me, actually. and, while Black and White is thematically correct, here it is through a red lens.

carygrantreds.jpg

Although in truth, I really did it in color. Crazy 60’s warms, to be exact.

carygrant.jpg

It is hard not to futz with the all colors, all the time, forever. I’m kinda amazed I ever get anything done, and choose one way. This time, I didnt. Pick your favorite!

Hey yall! I’ve been without Primary internettes, which, is how I post!

I know!

But, in the good news dept. I’ve got my old animations online now. Phew. It was heady, youthful, DIY times, I tells ya. So many things came from a dumpster. Not the least of which was the shockingly high end camera, which, kinda started the stop motion kick.  Me and my BFF, Sam Liberto III, basically just animated for the hell of it. He’s kinda a genius, cus or else, none of this would have happened. And I might be a reasonable citizen today.

mrrexmakinof.jpg

So! Cartoons. Up on YouTube,up on here.

The order of their making is as follows:

Mr Rex

Cartoon Dance Party

Operation Awareness

Giblets

Embry O’s

and, yes. One day there might even be more. Also, if you are like me and <3 Movie Madness the quaint video rental joint on Belmont, come and get it. In the indie cred section  they are carrying the DVD of all such things, Every Thing You Need. It’s even free to rent. Why? I’m spreading the love.

Basically, Sam and I wrote and drew and sculpted these by our lonesomes, with voice work by our super star friends. The Holden Bro’s, John and Luke notably, are also writers and drawers, respectively. Quite amazing if you need some new YouTubes.

Also, thanks to  Danny, Van Oates, and all our other voice workers! You are famous now.

Wow, I guess I really love hack comedians.

08.jpg

In true Critic spirit, in a split second, we are going to break that chair.

Famous is eating out of a “fuck it” bucket, that the brilliant Amy Sedaris recommends in her charming home ec book.

Yes, kids, its been a wild year. Not, a bad one, considering. Ive made certain strides, artistically, fell in with my video gang, and, hopefully, caused some damage.  A few heart aches, but no pseudo divorces, so, I’m calling 08 a win. Here are the media highlights, and things I endorse!

On New years day, 08, nursing my wounds, Shannon Wheeler, me,  and some pals were sitting around, and after ordering a greasy pizza, we put on the Mighty Boosh. That, pretty much blew my mind.  The jokes, so fast and British, zany, and cartoony! It did me in. After I wrapped my brain around it, it became a huge influence. Brits, they can spin CIRCLES around us. That is why, I covered my face in shaving cream, and pissed off youtube with my moon impression. I couldn’t beat them, So, I joined.

After the Boosh, Wheeler called me up when he was getting writers block, and many bottles of  wine and much Chinese food later, I had written an opera with him. Too Much Coffee Man, the Refill, natch.  I learned so much from that experience. Not just parading around in ball gowns, but, how a show comes to be, and the amazing SHOWMANSHIP of the cast, yikes, are they brilliant

That indirectly lead to me hooking up with the Harris and Aaron, when the Stump Town Comics fest came around. Wheeler, others, and I went to a dinner, and squinting past the glaring light of Nick Gurewitch, I made the acquittance Of Aaron Diaz and Harris Porter. We were joking around and getting somewhere, but then we all left. But,  clever fellows they are, they found my then, new, website, and they saw my stupid moon, redick drawings, and that with my charming presence, got me a coffee date with the both of em. I’m a lucky gal, I know.

3 hours of refills and crazy ideas later, I was in, and the show was a foot. They needed a girl, and I usually pass for one. The rest of the Dresden Codak show is history. I love the scripts and we are shooting as soon as they get a cruddy basement that doesn’t not freaking flood as much. Cus my character spends a lot of time on the floor, so, hellls naw!

Also, my neighborhood pals had introduced me to stand up, knock em down comedian Totally Darrel, who,we cast as our shows resident asshole. You know, type casting! Darrel opened for Neil Hamburgers country tour, which was amazing. I loved Neil H. before I ever even met Darrly, so I was slayed. Also, he sang the Bee Gees “I started a joke” which was…. peeeeerrrrrfect. There is talk of a N.H. comic, and you know who gets dibs on some pages!

So, then, Jesse Reckclaw wanted a posse to talk comics on Portland’s own Ed Forman show. I was game, always ready to get some personality practice. Turns out this was the show where, Stacey, our Too Much Coffee Man baritone, himself had guested for the promotion of our opera only in April, coincidentally. Us comics may not have been the best guests, but I’ve caught the show a few times since, and its very Portland. Improve, and prepared sketches, and seat of the pants, man, the pants.  If you like sex jokes, and if you are reading me, chances are you might, this show should be caught! Tuesdays @ Dantes, free. Cant beat that.

If you like talk shows, also make sure to check out the wild, out of control antics of The Famous Mysterious Actor. He had some of my Dark Horse friends on the show, and… ouch. It was worth my admission. Never before, had I seen a talk show host wonder if a woman is pregnant, or, just a fat bitch. He offered helpful solutions, though, about punching the baby out of the stomach.  Class act! Also, Make sure to check out the wild Dark Horse and Famous comics on myspace….. I’m glad there is room for this media in our lil planet.

Speaking of wich, if you are reading this, feel free to friend me on myspace and facebook. I sometimes give extra updates there.. like a lil somthing comming up…

Oh, what else? The Critic. I loved it as a kid, and now,thankfully, the world has given us a DVD. They drawing style is fun, crisp and clever. The celebrity charactachures are SPOT ON, and somehow, manage to get all my strange favorites! Paul Lynd, Rick Moranis, Jeff Goldblum, yow. This show is one long love letter to Lovitz himself, and I don’t blame it at all. A beautiful time capsule of the 90’s, s worth revisiting. I am such a sucker for, dick, vadge, and fat jokes, I know.

Another highlight was when I got to party like a rockstar. The renowned Paul Guinan had tickets to a concert, and I agreed. Then he told me it was the stars. I LOVE THE STARS. They are so good for breakups. The tour, Sad Robots, got good old Boiler Plate to star in their merch! It was like somebody accidentailly got chocolate in my peanut butter, and I couldn’t complain. Well, we got to hang out in fancy rock tour trailer, and then join the GoGo Bordello party downtown, and danced to gypsy folk well into the wee hours.  That is the most rock I get, cus, I am not such a rocker, really. Well, not in general.

stars1.jpg

So much fun! Here’s a snap of me, Touquil Campbell of The Stars, and Paul Guinan, Boilerplate’s dad, in ascending order. I got my mits on a delightful Boilerplate necklace, which I wear with pride.

noahcarol08.jpg

This is me and Noah, fellow comedy writer and collaborator since high school newspaper, living it up on NY’s eve. He has a star of David over his eye, and I have a heart on my cheek. Boob rouching, gold sparkles, and no bra. You’re welcome, 09! Noah and I are currently hammering out a lil something or 3 for the Internets too, very excited, and will keep you posted.

Anyhow, Auld Lang Zine, you nerds! <3

So, this Totes Vom Episode deals with a stumptown fest of yore. 2 years past, nothing lasts.

Oh dear, my favorite Internette is hanging up his hat. Well, at least not putting it on everyday? No, he always wears that stupid hat. Joesph William Bergin the 3rd is retiring from The Daily Grind. The grind he has spent 3 years in, making a comic every weekday. Dang is right.

He did so good! I know he’ll have more time to do more awesome comics now, read a book, take a hike, and play with his wiener… dog. But he will be missed! Honestly, when I met this man I was in awe from getting to meet such an honest to gosh artist, and I am very thankful for having gotten to learn so much from him. He is a cartoonist through and through.

He made me laff, he me made me cry? well, not in his dailys but you get the idea.

Joe, You were good. Now be even better, you freakin Ink Stud. Ker Sigh!

Too Much Carolyn Main. Nope, too much Coffee man! I’m getting ready for the Opera, which is going to be a total hot mess. You really have to go. Buy tickets, and see art, and everybody will be very impressed with you. I know you live in Portland, but once in a while you actually have to go see a unique art, not just a 3$ movie at a pub. I swear, legitimate theater is important. I implore you to be a cultured member of the community, you freaking hick.

(Psst, tickets are cheaper at the box office, f micket taster)

Opening night isApril 4th at Brunish Hall in Portland, Oregon with the Too Much Coffee Man Opera Sequel (the Refill). Tickets on sale now! Hey, big spender. ;)

I co-wrote the second act along with the enduring Shannon Wheeler, which , yes, deals with the universal problems of relationships gradually corroding your own sense of self, stalking the lovely lady who doesn’t know if you exist, deceit upon one’s character, jealousy, becoming jacked up on caffeine, murdering a rival, and even the helplessness of god. Not that I wrote any of that from personal experience. But I know, is this is a unique and singular performance, and all the players are brilliant. Trueness, you’ll want to say you saw it when.

We all made Stacey Murdock interact and harass people at the Saturday Market. Here is a photo I mugged with his mugged mug. Oh yes I did just say that.

coffeestaceyandcarol.jpg

That eyebrow is his money maker. The whole cast, including lovely Jasmine Presson, as the ambitious and harried Barista, swanky Matt Dolphin, the creeper peeper Espresso guy, are also very well equipped in the Eyebrow department. New comer Daniel McLuaghlin is sure to step up to the plate as the waring Martin and bring his big voice to the party for the second act. As someone who is pleased if they sing a simple Karaoke song mostly competently, I am in awe of the skilled voices these kids (full grown adults) belt out.

Buy your tickets NOW, because this thing sold out last last time, and you don’t want to be left in the dust.
