Thanksgiving is coming.
Are you ready?

Have a great weekend.

What won't he draw R.O. on?

Wow. It's been awhile since I posted anything. Apologies for theat. Things have been a little hectic of late. I wanted to share a couple things I found recently. Check out the custom R.O. images on this shirt and hat.

Yellow

I've never worn rose colored glasses. However, these days I feel like I'm wearing yellow tinted ones. The pollen continues to fall here in georgia, covering everything in its wake. To commemorate the moment, I thought it was only fitting that it coats this week's Life In The Faster Lane update.

The Dreaded Deadline Doom!

For those of you who haven't filed. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Time's running out.

Hugger Orange

My dad, the real life R.O. is fascinated by hugger orange. Don't know why. Can't explain it. Except that maybe, just maybe, he simply enjoys saying it. All I know is that the words "hugger orange" makes us laugh. Although, I can't believe he bought a car that was not hugger orange. :)

AH, SPRING... (part 1)

Spring has finally sprung. Time to start those spring projects like installing garage door openers, cleaning out the attic, planting a garden, mowing the lawn, and generally exhausting yourself.

Enjoy.

A sad, sad truth...

It isn't often I use Life In The Faster Lane for political or social commentary. However, this strip was done when gas prices started to climb a few years back. I think it's apropos today as well so here it is. I think we all can relate to this one.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

This one is completely made up. R.O. bowling in real life is probably not going to happen. In this stripfrom 1992 I was looking for greatone off jokes and sight gags for the strip, which was just getting off the ground.

This is one of those strips. In retrospect, it's not even really all that funny.

Sketchin' at the Atlanta Comics Expo

I was a guest at the Atlanta Comics Expo on Feb. 8-10 and I finally posted a short recap and photos from the show for those who might be interested.

The charity event was an Iron Munny auction for Reading Is Fundamental. You'll see some very creative Munnys on display.

I was on a panel on Friday with artists Michael Golden,Steve Scott, Andy Smith, and fellow writer/artist Greg Carter. It was a fun panel.

You can check out the photos at www.comicspace.com/bobbynash (galleries are on the right of the page) and/or www.myspace.com/bobbynash (under PICS).

I also managed to wrangle in a Life In The Faster Lane sketch or two.
This is a sketch I did of R.O. for my table-mate at 2007's ACE, Sean Taylor. As luck would have it, our tables were next to one another this year as well so I finally thought to take a photo of the art.
Here's the sketch next to copies of Sean's Fishnet Angel series. R.O.'s punchline makes more sense now, doesn't it?
Now that Sean writes Gene Simmons' Dominatrix for IDW, I did a sketch for the 2008 show. That's an RO'ed (to coin a new phrase that will soon sweep the nation) version of an actual Dominatrix cover. If you haven't been reading this book, check it out. You'll enjoy it.
And here's the good sport showing off his sketch.

The Munny came with a blank sticker that I just could not pass up taking the opportunity to draw as R.O. After seeing this I want to buy and paint a real R.O. Munny.

I'll be at Con Nooga in Chattanooga, TN on Feb. 22 - 24. Hopefully I'll get to do more sketches there.

Winter Roulette

I suspect this is more than just a Georgia gag, but it's very true right now. Snow one day, sun the next, then rain, then warm, then below freezing, the snow... I just can't keep up.

Ye olde con sketch

One of the big thrills for me at a convention or book signing event is when someone asks for a sketch. It's doubly exciting because we writers are not often asked to doodle. With an artist you can ask for a sketch. It's harder to walk up to a writer and ask if they can write you something. My favorite is when they say, "Write something funny."

What follows are three such con sketches. These are the only three I have copies of to my knowledge. Who knows what lurks in the various CDs, disks, and nooks and crannies of my hard drive. I hope to add more later now that I have a decent digital camera. I can snap off a quick shot of the sketch.

Since Life In The Faster Lane is the only thing I draw these days, I usually sketch out an R.O. headshot. Sometimes, however, people come with theme books and I do what I can. I hope you enjoy these sketches and if you see me at a con, please stop by and ask for a sketch.

Click on the title to this post and check out my upcoming convention appearances.
This was done for a theme book for Legends comic shop owner, Gordon Lee at the 2006 Dragon Con. I remember the date because I finally got smart and started adding them to my signatures. Tricky, huh? Gordon's sketch book had these famous lines from movies and asked for a sketch to fit the quote. I picked this one. That's R.O. sharing space with Top Cow's Renae Geerling's character, Puma Girl, a project I had been slated to write, but unfortunately fell through.
A few years back I did some sketches for a fan using stick figures, similar to what is seen above. To my suprise, severl people watching me draw them thought they were cute so I ended up doing several. I still get the occasional request for one. The image above was another Dragon Con 2006 sketch book with various themes. Actually, the owner of this book saw me drawing Gordon's image and liked it. The page I was given had a note that said, "draw whatever you want." Well, being the smart alec I am, well... you see the result above.
Another Dragon Con sketch, this time from 2007. My first sketch on a corset, which was not as easy as you might think. :)
