Have you ever seen Henry Darger's stuff? I think that's his name. You would like it.

RE: First ever "Little Garden" sequential art (ie, comic)

WORDS! Ayo, you've stepped into a new arena. Nice stuff. I'll be watching this Gallery for updates. Very interested in how you'll approach this, and what direction you'll take it. I like it so far, the dialog is just as mysterious as the world you've created.

[ Posted by Ayo on Apr 10th, 2007 10:47 PM ]... Jimmy! It's weird. It takes a whole lot longer to come up with the comic because there are causes and effects to everything...rammifications!

Dag, yo, how's it going?

Your comics look great.

Woohoo! Ayo comics in da house! I love that "Carl Toonist" Nervous System strip, and of course to read all of the Monstergirls stuff at once is a bonuse for sure!

[ Posted by JimmyKitty on Feb 1st, 2007 1:06 PM ]...

I always wanted Monster Girls in a format I could "read" all together without interruption. This is wonderful work, as I've said before. In particular #50 with "Lizzy" looking over the water. That's just such a nice shot, Ayo. You've really done a fine job with those drawings evoking a sense of wonder, and well... just goofiness, love, sadness, and joy in the world of Monster Girls.

Hi there! We’re starting up this year’s Small Press Idol…and wanted to invite you to the grand unveiling of this year’s Guidelines. I apologize for the all-in-one nature of this. At this time, individuals and teams have a little over a month to get things together and be ready to post their Round 1 entries. Round 1 will last till March 25th. It’s a solid window to get a project together and qualified for Round 2 past our judge panel. If you are interested in being a contestant, this is fair warning to get a project going!
If you are a news outlet or resource of any sort, we invite you to help spread the word about Small Press Idol, and get on the official Sponsors and Supporters list on the Idol Main Page. Traditionally, the page has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits a month for the 5 months the contest runs. All we ask in return for the link placement on our prominently placed list, is a link back in some way that is fairly prominent, and that you indeed cover the contest if you are a news site. You can contact us about that right from the guidelines page.
Just want to watch the show? That’s great! Now is time to sign up at the site so you can VOTE in the rounds to come, and post comments about your favorites! We’re expecting hundreds of contestants this year. It should be a lot of fun!

Hope this message reaches you in the spirit it was intended, you are welcome to ask questions, and otherwise make sure this is for real. This is the fourth year for the SPI. Last year’s contest pages are still online. So that’s what this is about, hope it interests you!

You keep this up, young man, and you're going to run out of black stickers to cover up naughty bits in your display copies.

[ Posted by Ayo on Dec 23rd, 2006 1:58 PM ]... It's a legitimate concern. I'm going to have a more cohesive system at MoCCA, just you wait!

All your best comics have lesbians in them!
Maybe you should think about becoming a lesbian.

Need more Monstergirls!

[ Posted by JimmyKitty on Dec 17th, 2006 8:34 PM ]... YES! MORE MONSTERGIRLS. Recently, on an Image Comics forum thread someone asked which artists have been inspirational and a motivation. Here's the link, if you want to read it: http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/ viewtopic.php?t=23478 I couldn't include everyone, but I just had to drop your name and for MonsterGirls, which I included a graphic from the Sequential Tart boards. I've always liked your work... it rocks, it's original and it speaks to me. Stan says so, too. Nuff said. Get back to work.

[ Posted by Ayo on Dec 20th, 2006 10:48 AM ]... I dunno. Maybe, I suppose. It's just that there's only like sixteen waking hours in the day and half of it is spent doing *NOT-COMICS* I think that artists should be given an extra six hours per day.

So far this whole comicspace thing has been like a small mob of nervous people silently shuffling into a large room and wondering what's going to happen to them.

"Are they going to make us get on the trains?"
