Drink Water!

Here’s a little sneak peek behind the scenes into the making of Drink Water! This picture shows Chapter 10 in progress, as it currently hangs on my studio wall (Catwalk included for scale). Chapter 10 chronicles Munki’s mission to enter the Mud-Wrestling Tournament Supreme at the Netherworld Ranch in an attempt to claim the Devil’s boon and restore his lost soul. This is a true story from Black Rock City 2001.

I generally layout about a dozen pages at a time in pencil, and then gradually finish them in ink over the weeks that follow. Once the inks are done, the pages are scanned, and then finished digitally in Photoshop. This batch is about be taken down to make room for the next set of layouts, the end of Chapter 10 and into 11. Things are going to get pretty crazy as our story moves into Wednesday evening, so stay tuned! There’s a lot more to come . . . )'( . . .

Ahoy Reader!

Here we are 200 episodes and six years into our story and still a long way to go. We are currently in Chapter Ten, Book #2, about midway through Wednesday afternoon. We have an action-packed evening ahead of us featuring battling dragons, flaming stilt soccer, and a visit to the Thuderdome! All this and more coming up, so stay tuned!

This photo was taken in Black Rock City back in 2001, and features Munkus and Neptune standing outside the Netherworld Ranch about to enter the Mud-Wrestling Tournament Supreme. Another piece of evidence from the archive proving once again that all of this is based upon true events, and I am endeavoring (to the best of my recollection) to bring you these stories as they actually transpired.

Thanks again for following along with our story, and stay tuned for many more adventures in 2019!

Ahoy Reader! Wishing a safe and happy burn to everyone heading out to Black Rock City this week. I’m not going to make the trip to the desert this year, but I will have some artwork installed at Kamp Suckie Fuckaye, 4:30 & Esplanade. Stop by and say ‘hello’ if you’re in the neighborhood!

Ahoy Reader! Burning Man’s syndicated run of Drink Water! will be coming to an end soon, but never fear! New episodes will resume in 2018 with a second syndicated run scheduled to begin in 2019. If you’ve enjoyed their run so far, leave a comment under the comic and let them know. And stay tuned, there’s a lot more to come! . . . )'( . . .

Happy Burn Night, everybody! Here’s a blast of playa past, the Garnish Fire Conclave at Burning Man 2007. The Green Man!
