Project 365 2: Electric Boogaloo

Friday, December 30th, 2011

I’ve got one day left of my “365 Days of Neff” project, my daily self-portrait thingamajig. After thinking about it and asking for input, I’ve decided that for 2012, I’m going to write a poem a day, at least one page in length. I’ll be handwriting them in a notebook (I hate writing prose by [...]

What’s Next?

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

We’re almost 3/4 of the way through the year. I can see the end of my “365 Days of Neff” photography project. I’ve really enjoyed doing it, and I feel it’s made a real impact on my life, helping pump up my self-esteem and remind myself that I really can be consistently creative and productive. [...]

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

I beat myself up a lot (both privately and in public) for not being more creative on a regular basis. But I just posted my 141st self-portrait of the year. 141 days in a row of photographs. I haven’t missed a single day. Ease up on yourself, boyo. You’re doing better than you think you [...]

Slings and Arrows, Pratfalls and Triggers

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

I really think Community is one of the best shows on TV right now, for a variety of reasons. Last week’s episode, “Advanced Dungeons and Dragons,” was one of the best of the best. It was hilariously funny, but also very touching, and it was more accurate in the way it portrayed people playing Dungeons [...]

Project 365

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

I’ve been thinking about doing a 365 day project this year, as part of my move to exercise my creativity more. Then my friend Kathryn Greenhill invited me to a Flickr group, Daily Image 2011. I decided to join the group and take a self-portrait every day this year. But I don’t just want them [...]

Pictures on My Wall

Friday, September 11th, 2009

Inspired by some posts by comics writer Cullen Bunn, Orrin Grey posted a pic of a comics cover from when he was a kid that has provided him with inspiration. I think that’s a really nifty idea, so I’m posting (with no comment on why or how or what) a comics cover that influenced me [...]

From Out of the Shadows

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

One of my best friends in the whole world, the amazingly talented Margaret Meyer, has started a new blog and hung her shingle up on Etsy. If you like dreamy, beautiful art, check her sites out.

My Kind of Gotham

Friday, February 6th, 2009

I’ve loved Tony DiTerlizzi‘s art since I first saw it in Planescape and Changeling books. His picture books Jimmy Zangwow’s Out-of-This-World Moon-Pie Adventure and Ted are two of my favorite children’s books. Plus, we were both born in California in 1969 and seem to have similar influences, so…I’m a fan. But, oh boy, do I [...]

New Directions

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Q: Josh, why are you excited to start your new job? A: Because, this is the kind of atmosphere I’ll be working in. How could I not be excited?

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Longtime goblin-friend Jennifer R. tipped me off to this fantastic library art project: cARTalog. Take a stroll through the images. They’re great! I love this!
