No, you can't see it.But I can.And it makes me feel.Feel all warm and fuzzy inside.A little 'yay' bubbles to the surface.But don't mind me, I'm mostly just being silly ;)Happy New Year !

My brother's girlfriend gave birth to a very loud (judging from the brief phone call I had with my brother) little boy this Monday. His name is Lars, and apparently now I'm an uncle.I've had a few very strange weeks. One of my best friends came to take care of me and that was lots of fun but it kind of tossed my schedule about. Work-wise, because I had been creative in shifting my days around to

Of all the people I've encountered since getting out of teh bed this morning, only two or three managed NOT to irritate the heck out of me. I'm having a fairly bad day. And work isn't much better, I don't have much of anything to do that can distract me from the People Who Should All Die Painful Deaths. So I'm browsing around on the web in an attempt at naive hope (while knowing better) that I

It's come to this: that I should quote titles of webcomics to come up with a clever header. But I couldn't find anything more appropriate, to be honest.An update after all these months ? Yes, and a direly needed one. Because lots has happened - but then, lots always does if you pay close enough attention. And I always do, and since time in the mind of a human being is measured in numbers of

Crash, burn, crash more. I'm emotionally knocked out by two strong punches, just when I was nearly on my feet. This entire week I'm sort of living from day to day as escapist and numb as possible. A friend is visiting me Friday and perhaps she'll be able to make things a bit better. But right now I'm not doing too well.There's been an interesting development, comic-wise, but seeing as how I'm in

Women are intolerable ! Actually need them and they are nowhere to be found, but decide to go through your personal shit yourself without anyone's aid and suddenly they all care and worry and insist and push... aaaaagh !In all that I've been writing here lately, note that I'm sincere and yet, well, not.

On a regular day, I'll get up, get out of the house. I'm carrying around my passport because we have an identification law since a while back, which means I'll have to show it if I'm found possibly involved in something that goes against the law. I'll show my buspass with photograph and name to the bus driver so he'll allow me on board. I'll get to the station and use my bank pass and PIN ID so

Things are still not too easy. And I guess what makes it harder is that it's all a big battle that I don't even want to fight. This reality and myself ? Never been real good friends with it, so to speak. I was always more of an escapist kind of kid, the kind that would draydream in safe little worlds and crazy ideas just to avoid having to exist in reality in any other than the biological

Well, we're on month 3 of my drastic turnover, my full-blast attempt to fix the unholy personal mess I seem to have gotten into the past three years, so I guess it's high time for a little assessment. A little looking back. And seeing if I've accomplished anything yet.I have.I have accomplished several things. Not at all the least of which is that creatively, I am much, much more active. And the

I don't get spam.Well, I don't mean to say I never receive spam, quite the opposite. I don't understand spam. I used to, I mean, if you've got a communication medium like email at your fingertips that can potentially help you reach thousands, nay, millions of new customers, you'd be a fool not to use it. But honestly. Take a look at what spam is nowadays. Spam filters have gotten so effective

Ain't No Sunshine is currently the 8th most popular comic on Probeersel.com and only has three unique readers to go before it's 7th. Before long, it'll probably be in the top 5. And that without doing barely any advertising for it, without featuring it in the 'Pick of the week' section or in 'In the spotlight', without mentioning it on most forums, etc.It has also already harvested, in its three

I'm more and more seriously considering sending out an order for a special Grim DotCom-set of playing cards. Sure, it'll cost me nearly 2 Euros per deck at a minimum of 1000 decks, but it'll be so cool and totally sellable. Even if it takes me hundreds of conventions to push - hell, that's almost an argument FOR them, because then I'll never have to worry about having to arrange for something to

That's what you get for getting into the office late (even with enough compensation hours to spare that it didn't matter that I was late to begin with) - all hell breaks loose and you end up being the only one to finish fixing it. And now it's past the time to catch even the SEVEN o'clock train (so the seven thirty'll be mine..) which means it'll be darker than a black steers tucas on a moonless

I had a great week last week. I started a new webcomic based on a completely zany, nay, insane idea and produced a whopping 6 episodes of it before the end of the week. I drew quite a few drawings for the TekenTopic on ClickBurg and amongst them were several I could be quite proud of. Work was going swell as well. Friday evening I went out with my oldest and still pretty much best friend Tom and

Well, there was some bus fallout and a strike, which meant I nearly missed my dentist appointment AND there was no way to get out of the small village that my dentist is located at, afterwards, but the tooth at least is fixed. And the aenastetic wore off within three hours, which isn't too bad either.I even didn't mind walking back, so I started walking, and then caught a lucky break because an

This morning, just before walking into my office, I got a message from my tongue saying it had discovered something.. unusual. A pretty big hole in my tooth, big enough to be able to feel it. Now, this sort of thing doesn't happen overnight, normally, and it's in a place where I've been drilled before, so I think I swallowed a filling over the course of the night.However, I haven't made time to

While everyone and their pet AIBO is making End Of Year lists and looking back, needless to say - for loyal readers and close friends, at least - I'm busy looking ahead. 2006 is going to be an awesome year, or at least one I'm heavily looking forward to. 2005 was a stinker of a year for me on a personal level, but that's good, because it'll be so much easier to have a good year right after

Never been the type for taking less than ambitious measures about things I believed in. So those who know me well enough will not be too surprised at news I'll be sending out later this week. It's been a while in the works, but I've finally figured out how I'm going to clean up my life again and return to drawing more. It's a direly needed step, for myself, my sanity, my art, and for the big

After returning from a week-long training course in London, I found the second season DVD of Dead Like Me in my mailbox. Still have a few episodes left to go, but I can say this much: the quality of the episodes is still very high, in humour, special effects, writing, everything. The only real difference with the first season is that more continuing plots have been introduced, which means that

On the ClickBurg forum, Rob van Barneveld started a topic where only drawings would be allowed. In other words, you can only respond to one another in drawn form. It's a big hit and everyone has enthousiastically participated so far. Just a few days ago I threw a few suggestions on there (of course, in drawn form) and in lack of quick responses I made a little animation of a rolling bit of

This is one of those inane ponderings that really should only be interesting to myself, but hey, this is my blog, and if you don't like me writing about myself you wouldn't be reading this.It's just - I like change. I'm one of those people who get nerveous when things seem to get too routine. The kind of person who, when he has to take the same route somewhere every day, he'll take new routes

I have a reputation for being comfortable with the macabre - well, I guess that's what you get for being the guy behind a weekly comic starring the Grim Reaper and a bunch of dead folk. But still.A colleague's brother-in-law keeled over at his job, pretty much dead on the spot, age 48. Now, I'm not afraid to die. I haven't been since about age 8. It happens, it's a part of life, and I'm damn glad

Last week my Dead Like Me Series 1 DVD came in, and I'm almost through watching all the episodes. Turns out there's one I missed ! And so far - I can't sleep too well this evening so I'm watching some episodes this very moment - it seems to be the obligatory compilation episode, where the plot facilitates the reusage of scenes from past episodes. You know the drill. It's done in a good way

Writer John Fowles dies aged 79 "The French Lieutenant's Woman author John Fowles has died aged 79. Fowles died at his home in Lyme Regis, Dorset on Saturday after battling a long illness, his publisher said."I'm fairly saddened by this news. Fowles has been of great influence on me, both personally and in my writing. As you can read at the linked page (BBC news), I'm far from alone in that.

I just spent most of the past week being ill at home. Horrible. The past couple of years I seem to physically have become a more normal mortal human being, the kind that can get ill for MORE than one day. I can't say I've gotten used to it yet - it's a big drain on my productivity. Colleagues and friends say it's the body shouting a 'halt' to me with all the stuff I'm doing. Well, that's all fine
