Just a reminder: New material is still being posted on Beeswax, although things have been a bit more sporadic since the Adorable Progeny made the scene.



Also, you might want to click on over to Destination: Blog! It's a bit a collaborative geekery where we have fun with other people's panels, and, occasionally, it gets kinda awesome.



Lastly, have you seen 'skine.art., the moleskine sketchblog? Lots of great stuff to see, plus a few of my little doodles.

If you missed the beginning of my fledgling attempt at meme-fu, I'm asking people to add to a parade of high-contrast patterned black and white characters. The intention is to provide a wealth of imagery freely available to parents who want stimulating imagery for their infants. More specific terms can be found here.

Parade 2
Featuring Magical Musical Mexican Murcielago by Jemma Salume!

Parade 3

Parade 4
Featuring Pan da Piper by Stephanie Windham!

Parade 5
Featuring Bell Girl by Squidgee Moot!

Parade 6
Featuring Altorhino and Littletrumpet by Stephen Eidson!

Let's not have another week like that one, okay?
And then the parade is temporarily halted so that the Lovely Wife and I can go have fun with pre-term labor. Gah!

With the New Year, things are getting busy again. Planning the semester, setting up the nursery, laying out comics, and, just for fun, letting men into the house and watching them tear up the only bathroom. It's busy, but I have a good feeling about '08. Feel free to laugh at me for that in a year's time.

Sit Tight, Skeezix!
One reason for my optimism: this is the year my son will be born!

Join the Parade!
Step on up! March with the band! It's a meme with a purpose!

Three posts in 2 days? I'm going to sprain something.

The Coccinellidae Crusher!
This ladybug ain't gonna just fly away home.

Danger!
He'll steal all your gold, make you look like a fool in front of the press, and then zoom off for some lovin' at his happening pad.

Sit Tight, Skeezix
And update on the heir to empire.

I hope everyone has been having a lovely holiday.

December, 1997, pt. 5
Christmas vacation of Yesteryear comes to a close, just in time for Christmas of Todayyear!

Everybody Dance Like There's Christmas In Your Pants!
Holiday wishes to you, in ink and links.

I hope everyone out there is having a lovely time!

'Cuz I'm applying gauze and pressure to the fingerpads of my left hand. Let's just say the bread-knife won the battle, but I still plan on winning the war.

Anyway, there's a couple new items up on Beeswax I thought you might like to know about.

December, 1997, pt. 4
The sketchbook of Christmas Past opens yet again.

The Patron Saint of Mean Old Bastards
Finally, divine intercession for the rest of us.

So, I read The Golden Compass on Saturday, and then went to see the movie on Sunday. The book is pretty good. The movie is just pretty. Not recommended, unless you're in it solely for the hot Polar Bear-on-Polar Bear action.

Hey! I think the bleeding's stopped! It's an LJ miracle!

Beeswax: Now with Bells and Whistles! Come on by and enjoy our thrilling new banner. And check this out: I finally registered www.joelpriddy.com as the blog's domain name, so I no longer need to fear some malfeasant buying the name and filling it with porn. I'll take care of that myself, thank you very much.

Now I just need to get around to updating pulpatoon.com for the first time since 2003.

Oh, also, there's some new doodles up:

December, 1997, pt. 3
Dang, did I talk to anyone that Christmas?

This One The Dire Wraiths Fear More Than All Others
Spaceknight Nostalgia in the name of a good cause!

More Reason to Fear My Power
Wherein Darkseid and I join a hallowed fellowship (but, you know, so does Jigsaw, Man of a Thousand Parts).

Forbidden Sins Deleted Scene
Bonus footage of my fictional demise.

December, 1997, pt. 2
More dispatches from a little black book.

Wondering about Wondering about Wonder Woman
The Amazon hits the Rooftop.

Yowza! Neglected Annex!

Pack'em Up!
I was just thinking about boxes, is all.

Forgotten Mistakes/Forbidden Sins
I have a few stories about almost having a career in porn. One of them is true. Could this be it?

Inkling
New mileage out of an old sketchbook.

Jellyfish
Third and maybe the last of a series of animal drawings.

December 1997, part 1
More sketchbook mining.

Two Matters of Grave Importance
Centaur vs. Minotaur! Inner-Child Geek vs. Outer-Adult Geek! Who will win?!

Ghost Robot!
A new fiend enters the Pantheon of Nightmares!

Armadillos
I've started drawing animals. The first one is of a pair of armadillos. Does this mean I'm going alphabetically?

Donkey
No, apparently, I'm not. Unless you think of donkeys as "burros," which I do not.

Spoiler Alert!
Well, Beeswax hasn't gone completely the way of the petting zoo. Good ol' superhero memes. You'll keep me from spending my time productively, won't you?
