I have added a few more drawings to the caricature gallery.
In chronological order of their creation:
President Obama delivering the State of the Union, Joe Biden and John Boehner behind him.
Bashar al-Assad, president of Syria.
Jeff Tweedy, founder of Uncle Tupelo and Wilco, and probably Alt Country Rock as a whole.
Nancy Brinker, following her mishandling of funding for Planned Parenthood.
As part of my glacial progress in fleshing this site out, I have created a new gallery on the illustrations page. Last year Ben Lehman commissioned me to draw illustrations and the cover for Mud Dragons, an RPG he has since published.
But you can view it here if ya like.
Two most recent page updates have involved a discussion of time travel. If you think, “Hey, that seems like quite a tangent for a comic about a wandering pig to take,” you are probably right. It’s all Mr. Guzek’s fault. Don’t ask me, I just work here.
So many social media outlets, so few brain cells to keep track of them all.
Anyway, here is a link to the new Wanderlost page.

I just added four new caricatures to the relevant gallery. I have started a project of almost daily caricature work in my sketchbook for my own personal enjoyment and artistic growth. The use of color pencils aims to extend my skills into areas I have felt uncomfortable with. I don’t want to rely on Photoshop to add color to an image; in fact, I think there is a lot to achieve through traditional analog methods. More experienced artists will nod their heads and say, “No shit, Sherlock.”
Anyway, here they are!

Man, what a month. Holidays, birthdays, and a little trip to the ER. I am doing better now. Bronchial spasms and asthma induced by sinus infections brought on by polyps in my nose. Nothing dietary or environmental — as many well-meaning people have suggested — but purely genetic. I gotta get surgery to remove growths in my nose. Ugh! It’s freaking gross to contemplate. I’ll get the surgery as soon as my wife has her own surgery for her own ailments (which I’ll keep undisclosed for her modesty), and hopefully I can regain a fuller, more active life.
In the meantime, I’m gonna keep at this webcomic until it’s finished. Probably by June.
Page 16 of “Long Way from Home” at Wanderlost features more kraken content. I really enjoy drawing that thing. Gives me a chance to play with inking techniques, texture, and Photoshop brushes.
And in case you missed it, I posted a new cartoon to Learning Curve, my relatively new strip on education and labor issues. This time I mock Michelle Rhee’s campaign against seniority rules (also known as “First In Last Out” or “Last In First Out” rules.)
Just published in the December 2012 issue of The Gathering, newsletter for PCCFFAP. And added to the gallery page previously called Teacher Unions, now called Learning Curve, the new title for the strip. Thanks a billion to Jen Sorensen for the title suggestion. Next time you are in Portland, Jen, I’ll buy you a pint. Hopefully soon!
Wanderlost has been updating throughout the three weeks since I last notified the world via this blog that it had done so. There are so many outlets to promote oneself these days, it’s easy to forget one. Anyway, if you missed them, the latest updates for Wanderlost start here.
Also, I tidied up some pages here. The galleries for illustration, caricatures and individual pieces have all been filled out. I have more stuff to add to those pages, but I’m glad to remove the “under construction” tag from them.
