It’s Presidents Day here in the States, which means as a freelancer, I’ll still be working. BUT I can park downtown for free, I think. We’ll see in a bit. For no particular reason, here’s the jigsaw puzzle my wife and I have been working on in bursts the past few days. The disappointing thing [...]

An hour and a half away. We should have spent more time on this sweet ride, but it’s put up or shut up now. Go li’l racer of pine!

Hey, you knew if I was really going to post every day, we’d have to start filling time with car posts, so just chill. Finally got to crack into my sister-in-law’s car the other day to figure out why it cut off while driving and wouldn’t crank again. It didn’t take but a minute to [...]

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I start poking at the css code of this website because why not? And after a couple of hours, I finally figured out how to unleash the site, cutting it free from the left side of the page so it can be in the [...]

At Portland Indoor Soccer: Little Kickers, but. All we can do is merely watch kids run around and kick because Stephen scraped up his toes at a pool party last night. At least he seems to be enjoying observing. Half-sad trombone instead.

Finally figured out the css I needed to change! This layout = More like it.

Try to introduce a character in a weird position if at all possible. Hanging upside down is always good. Anything but just standing there. The best is if they can be doing something physically that says the main thing you need to know about their personalities. That’s like I just handed you money, so go [...]

This is really for any of my family who check in and want to see what one of the little Parkers is up to, but maybe you’re a fan of the Suzuki school. Allie has been playing since she was 4. My iPhone can’t zoom in!

By now it’s probably obvious my New Year’s resolution was to post EVERY DAY on my website. Over the past couple of years I’d let it languish, opting for the much less time-invested Twitter. I’ve had lots of heavy deadlines and felt if anything could give, Parkerspace would be the choice. At one point, years [...]

Does anyone know who the artist was on The Montgomery Story comics about Martin Luther King Jr.? I’ve never seen a copy but the art from it looks really good.

I should have posted this weeks ago, but I’m still fascinated that there was a whole Flash Gordon dream sequence in A Christmas Story where Ralphie helps Flash. It of course revolved around a BB gun. Probably cut because the movie was already long, but it had Ming! I would have liked to have seen [...]

Just re-read Ethel & Ernest by Raymond Briggs, it still floors me.

As I mentioned earlier, the dream team of me and Colleen Coover reunite in April- at Dark Horse! We have a story in CREEPY QUARTERLY #8 called “Nineteen.” This one has been a blast to work on, because since I sit four feet away from Colleen at Periscope, we’re able to do old-school collaborating and [...]

It was foggy most of the day, but that finally burned off and we had a perfect window of clear sky and no winds. The Estes rocket Stephen and I made worked perfectly, and deployed the parachute- which was the part I was afraid wouldn’t go off right. A friend of mine took some video, [...]

It’s pretty nice outside- will today be the day we get that tiny rocket into the air? Stay tuned!
