SooOOOooo...

So I've been away for awhile. Was it the move? Work? Burnt out? All off the above? I don't know, but what I do know is I'm going to really be trying to put my best foot forward and get back on the horse.

Come september the Pittsburgh Comic Convention is kicking in again and my good compadre Chris Brown has reserved our table for the festivites (of which I hear Stan Lee will be there for!). So yes, I'm gonna have to kick it in gear if I want to have anything to show for it.

Here's to the future!

Once More With Feeling...

Well, I've redesigned PortCity Underground yet again. Call it a change of pace, I just need something to get my creative juices flowing, as Spudmunkey has been quiet as of late. Aside from the occasional IHOP placement, i've been at a creative wall so it's nice to create something, even if it's just a new layout. So with this version 3.0 i've decided to refocus the entire site and streamline it. I found the previous incarnation was a little to, what's the word?...scrolly? It didn't flow and navigation was a tad muddy. This round I hope everything is a little easier to look through and get around. Check it out and Let me know! http://www.portcityunderground.net/

So the Comicon has been moved to later in the year! This is good news for us here at Spudmunkey and PCU, as my upcoming nuptuals would have landed too close to make the April show. Now that it's in September that means a good chance for our 3rd year at the con to be a reality.

Just because we've relocated things to Florida, doesn't mean we forget our roots!
So if you're coming to the Pittsburgh Comicon this September, check us out at the PortCity Underground Table.

Ill be there with upcoming comic writer Chris Brown!

PCU at PittCon

Well it's finally here...COMIC CON TIME. I know I haven't been around much, but I've been real busy with the whole comic con prep and getting ready to move.

Yep you heard me MOVE. Heading down to Saint Petersburg Florida for a bit of a life change. Hopefully all the sun and better climate will help spark some more creativity, as well as possible have a more supportive art community, because truth be told, Erie doesn't.

Back to the Comic Con! So yeah I'll be there, the table is listed un Stephen Wittmaak(me, duh) but when you see it I have it as PCU, PortCity Underground. I'll have some new prints and buttons, as well as a slew of stuff from last year.

So if you're coming to the Pittsburgh Comicon this weekend, April 25th-27th, check us out at the Port City Underground Table S104. Ill be there with Farman Wolper, and upcoming comic writer Chris Brown!

Observations?

So today I went to Chick-fil-a, or however the hell you spell it, for lunch and noticed something. To most people any nametag, from wherever you work, especially if its NOT where you are, means you must work there.

My nametag is all black, with a big red check mark on it(pretty easy to discern where I work since the name of the company is on it as well). Apparently add a tie and dress shirt to that and I become a chick-fil-a employee when an "tenured adult" asked me where we keep the sweet and sour sauce is kept or if "we" carried any at all. Which I told her we don't have any out in the lobby and to ask a cashier for some, which she did and got her beloved condiments.

I guess what I'm putting out there is either most people just aren't aware of there surroundings, or too selfish to care.

Throw on a nametag, tie, and button down and try it out, I bet I'm right...

It's Been Awhile...

Well what's been going on?! Not a whole hell of alot apparently!!! To be honest I've been trying to regain that creative fire I lost last October when all my work from the last 5 years shit the bed in my hard drive crash. I've been dabbling with a few different things, such as the Lil Spudmunkey Steve shown here made from a Kid Robot "Munny" customizable vinyl blank. All in all I think he turned out pretty damn skippy! I've also been slowly getting started with my shit for the Pittsburgh Comic Con at the end of April. I'll definitely have a few prints, some buttons, and a sketchbook together for the event.

So far I think we'll be in a prime location, table S104, so look for us.

More as it hits!

-Oh I've also been making lil foil animals after most meals from our local Moe's Southwest Grill, hit my MySpace to see'm ;)

PCU: Grand Reopening!

Well, where have I been, what have I been doing? Well for the most part I've been redesigning not only the previously mentioned Spudmunkey Dot Com, but also finishing taking over the reigns of Port City Underground. I finally reached the final stages of my little projects, and have two fresh new looks for two different sites to show for it! One, Spudmunkey.com, will continue to be my outlet for webcomics as usual, the second, Portcityunderground.net, will be geared towards more of a bio/resume/portfolio site for myself, with a smattering of things for others, such as an Artist Focus. If you have a free moment, check it out, and lemme know what you think!
