Episode 32: What the...? (or: ART!) (alternate)

Over the past few years I have been doing online artwork in the forms of comics, images, and so forth. I'm not a very good artist in real life (pencil & paper), and my computer art is in no way any better. But I do like to think that this is mostly because my only source of computer art tools happens to be ol' MSPaint.

My computer art career started years ago, on a webcomic I called "Jesus Time!" and, as you can guess, the main characters was Jesus. But not just one Jesus, but three. Three Jesuses. They were Jesus, Satan-pretending-to-be-Jesus, and a pirate named Captain Pirate Black Jesus (an inside joke for those that followed the comic.).

Jesus is wearing pirate garb because he tried to cheat and lie his way into Heaven. Just like the bible!

It was seriously not that great. Here is the first one I ever did, where, as is made obvious simply by reading it, we see that Jesus had issues getting into Heaven:
The next thing I did was a little Xanga (another blog site) called Age 19(www.xanga.com/age19), which was basically a site I did drawings on while pretending to be a small child (hence the ugly pictures), but still signed it "Age 19." This joke was used, first, by Futurama. They feature me in either stupid situations or doing something stupid.

The very first image I did was... well, I think I'll let it speak for itself:

I never meant to do any more than this one. But... Well, let's just say one wasn't enough to satiate my artistic needs. Eventually I did more and started to have a "style." Here are some of my personal favorites:
OceanA is for Applemander
M is for Meus
Rent
Disturbing Dream

Eventually I started to notice that I had created a girlfriend character for my comic-self and, well... one panel comics just weren't enough for my jokes anymore. I then created my first four panel comic:

You might not be able to see it, but down in the bottom right corner I have the name "Captain Apathy." This is because I purchased the rights to a site (http://www.captainapathy.com/) and, well... Started a story.

This webcomic was basically the life-and-times of Skyler and his gf, Karen as Skyler (an ex-super hero) tried to get a job. It eventually became much, much more. Now I'm into my third year and, well... I have an ending planned, but its very, very far off.

These days, my art has become slightly better (ha!) in comics I've posted on Facebook and other places. My current "strip" I'm doing, called "True Life Stories (as told through fiction)" is pretty cool, I'd guess. Here's a couple:

Where am I with art, now? Well, Captain Apathy is down, right now, because of some stupid legality issue; True Life Stories update every now and again, and the rest of my art is just sitting around, waiting to be used.
Thanks for letting me share with you, and if you like any of this junk, let me know.
