[All these were drawn while I was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, back in 2001 etc]

my dreams look great on paper

i’m scottish

poetic insights

satan bought my soul

mystical experience

take me home now

yeah we like easy

hearing snoring noises

god had made a friend

single middle-age barfly

untitled 01

eat pussy

manners forbid me

middle age

not happening

talking to you

i need to be used

no longer give a damn

porrige fruit

three hours

i’m in vegas

she looked great on paper

you must never grow

career career career

catalyze joy

fleeting beauty

righteously indignant

the emptier his life got

I just uploaded a bunch of cartoons from 2001. Here they are.
For what it’s worth, even BEFORE 9-11 happened, 2001 was already my worst year ever personally and career-wise. It was utter hell at the time, made even worse by the New York atrocity.
So if they appear angrier and more despairing than usual, that is why.

curse of emptiness

failed attempt

god with no love

nothing so deadly

now that takes skill

as the second plane

career drone

niche

don’t look fat in that

the first thing

trophy out of you

untitled 01

yuppies with big houses

hitting on 300 girls

living vicariously

nobody cares about you

the better you blog

untitled 02

no, you’re not attractive

escaping from boredom

it’s culture

media execs

music was the only thing i had left

somebody who sold his soul

untitled 03

we needed refuge

getting older

pea-size brain

the carcasses

the tyrrany

tried making plans

what is art
