I'm a guy and I love the NY four. Good pacing, good girly art (but not that girly) and a top-notch writer. Intense, thx man.

LOCAL is one of my favorite series. I especially liked the Park Slope issue - the Great Lakes bar is a block from my house! Keep up the great work, and thanks for adding me as a friend.

I admit I friendrequested you because of your user-tags
"don't get up to eat or pee" and "windsor newton series 7 sable"

but your work is pretty good too.

What's your baseball team? The Twins, I imagine. I'm a Cards fan myself. But I do enjoy watching the Twinkies play ball. Hope Liriano comes back from surgery just as dominant as he was before he got hurt.

People are going to dare you to draw THEIR comics, man!

Not that I can blame them. Your stuff is gorgeous.

Merry X-Mas! We do an old-school MST3K marathon around here to celebrate the holiday, ourselves...

	[ Posted by ryankelly on Dec 24th, 2006 12:37 PM ]... Awesome! I'll have my own marathon of Jack frost, Santa Clause , and Santa Clause Conqeurs the Martians.
	[ Posted by patchworkearth on Dec 24th, 2006 12:55 PM ]... Jack Frost! Damn, I'm not sure we have a copy here at the house anymore... I think we're following up the Santa Claus duo with Road House instead. It'll be a Patrick Swayze Christmas this year.

[ Posted by Ayo on Dec 23rd, 2006 4:03 PM ]...

Baseball and comics! Yes!



I don't follow baseball anymore (too much ADD) but I really like baseball comics...that sorta fits in, right?!

(good work on Local!)

Ryan....I'm really enjoying your artwork in Local. If you ever make it out to Phoenix, we would love to have you do a signing. Also, we have a little gallery area for artists to display and sell their work.

>I'll draw anything! Dare me!

I dare you to draw a train, driven by the Mystery Science Theater 3000 robots, smashing through the walls of the Metrodome.

Oh, McGuire's a shoo-in for that scene. Sammy, too!

"I'm not here to talk about the past." Gimme a break...

Hey Ryan, maybe you could draw Babe Ruth coming back to life and kicking Barry Bonds square in the nuts -- or am I the only person who would enjoy that?
