U-Street - Part 1

Hello again.

Things got crazy busy again, so I had to put this strip on hold, especially with my upcoming move to Portland, OR on the horizon. But I will continue updating once a week to present this five part story about what happened with a friend and I after a concert one night. Afterwards, I'll hopefully be able to maintain a consistent schedule as I have many more stories in comic form to share with you. :)

By the way, "Definitely Far From Korea" now has it's own page on Facebook. If you enjoy reading this comic blog, (despite it's shitty updating schedule) you can become a fan by clicking the button just above the Twitter window on the right of the page.

This week's strip features the Dandy Warhols!

Her Favorite Movie

I think Braveheart is kind of overrated frankly.

Introducing Leila Baldo!

Updates will be sporadic in the next month or so as I am gearing up to work on a major project that will hopefully see light of day in late July. I will continue to churn out pages for "Definitely" even if its only two updates a month.

But here's hoping I can keep it up to once a week.

Midget Market

Well, you can buy anything on Craigslist these days...

Introducing Ben Piper!

Your Poem....

Back with a new strip. Five pages. Oy, this was a nightmare to tone on Photoshop.

Anywho, this week's "Definitely" features the lovely and talented Gowri Koneswaran, doing a slam poetry performance that my friend Kelley (the girl sitting next to me with dreads and glasses) and I went to in February at Almaz Restaurant in the Washington DC area which was hosted by Sulu DC - a local network for performance art/slam poetry for Asian American artists. You can find out more about them here at their Facebook page.

As for more about Ms. Gowri, you can check her blog where you can also purchase a copy of "Still Beating", her self published book of poetry, and even friend her at Facebook if you want to be updated about her latest performances.

Here's a video of that performance which I captured in comic form.

Long time...

Heya.

I apologize for the lack of updates. Especially when I promised a new strip for the week after the last three I put up. Truth be told, there have been some personal issues which I've had to work through. But I'll spare you the sordid details. All I can say is, as of now, I am currently working on a new five page "Definitely" strip, and will hopefully have consecutive updates from that point on.

There was one positive development in the last two weeks or so that was able to pull me out of my funk. Jamie S. Rich, whose work "12 Reasons I Love Her" (with Joelle Jones), "Love the Way You Love" (with Marc Ellerby) and his most recent collaboration with Ms. Jones and Nico Hitori De - "Spell Checkers"....all of which you must absolutely read, had some nice things to say about my first two comics "Pho Story" and "Parka". This was extremely uplifting as I've been an admirer of his work for a few years. It's just nice to know I'm doing something right with this comic making thing. Thanks again Jamie. :)

I also want to say thanks to those who've been steadily following my comics and for the comments. Matt Graupman and John Kinhart, I'm looking in your guys' direction.

So mushy stuff aside. Update next week. No more slacking. I'm on it. Seriously. :)

Peep show

Oh, the things I'll do for a laugh.

And thanks Jen, for allowing me to recreate this little moment from back in the day. :P

Retail - Part 2

I regret not standing my ground that day when they asked me to come in. Working the concession stand while hungover is not very pleasant.
