Hope you all have a merry Christmas!

Cartworks #127

2009-12-13T23:18:00.000-08:00

As the title in the first panel says, is what this strip is about. Have a good week!

Cartworks #126

2009-11-30T00:48:00.001-08:00

A new comic is finally up and three days after one has been posted! Work was busy but not too bad this year.

Cartworks #125

2009-11-26T20:31:00.001-08:00

Penciled this comic a few days ago, inked Tuesday night, and lettered this morning. Happy Thanksgiving and there should be a new strip done...hopefully.

Cartworks #124

2009-11-02T00:42:00.000-08:00

Nov. 1 was "Self-Portrait Day" from www.conceptart.org and I worked on one which can be viewed here.

Cartworks #123

2009-10-26T00:15:00.001-07:00

Yep, Fall is here and the shorts are stuffed in the wardrobe.

Cartworks #122

2009-10-19T11:57:00.001-07:00

Finished drawing this strip late last night, but didn't scan in and letter it till today. Didn't realize how quick it would be to finish the rest in the computer. Speaking of comics, I went to the SF show "APE" yesterday and had a good time. I found an empty table and was able to get an exhibitors badge and had a set-up of my comics and sketchbooks for sale. Sold a few comics but still a fun time and next year I should be prepared for the show.

Cartworks #121

2009-10-11T23:31:00.000-07:00

And here goes my late tribute to John Hughes! Wanted to do this comic for a while and I drew it.

Cartworks #120

2009-10-05T00:36:00.001-07:00

A new strip, but its a page-ful and a new segment may begin. I had a great time at the "From the Land Beyond" convention last week and there are some shots of me at Jose Angeles' blog.

Cartworks #119

2009-09-14T01:42:00.001-07:00

Looks like the workload got stacked higher for the Cart-Attendant. See you next week!

Cartworks #118

2009-09-07T00:59:00.001-07:00

New strip is up! Have a good Labor Day everyone!

PS: Tumblr users please Reblog.

Cartworks #117

2009-08-31T00:17:00.001-07:00

Apologies for missing another week. Another strip is up and when I typed in "moving on to something else" in my last post, I meant story arc wise for "Cartworks" and not shutting down "Cartworks" yet.

P.S. - Please Reblog this post (Tumblr users only)

Cartworks #116

2009-08-17T00:02:00.001-07:00

A new strip of "Cartworks" is up and was inked with a new dip pen nib which worked nicely for me. Continuing with the changes for the Cart-Attendant's role, there should be a couple strips before I move on to something else. Anyways, please reblog (for Tumblr users) so other people on the web can find out about this comic strip.

Cartworks #115

2009-08-11T00:35:00.001-07:00

After two weeks, a new "Cartworks" strip is finally posted! Had an frustrating moment with inking this strip because two newly purchased pen nibs I own decided not to ink correctly. I broke them both and inked with my Pitt pens instead to get the strip finished and online. See you next week!

Cartworks #114

2009-07-19T23:30:00.000-07:00

I'll be going to the San Diego Comic Con this week. I'm leaving Tuesday and will be back in Stockton Monday night. See you guys later!

Cartworks #113

2009-07-12T23:54:00.000-07:00

Been busy this week and next week is Comic-Con! Hence, the vacation comment.

Cartworks #112

2009-07-06T18:02:00.001-07:00

Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!

Cartworks #111

2009-06-30T00:54:00.001-07:00

Posted it up late and its getting hotter outside! Well, have a good week everyone (and a happy 4th of July!).

Cartworks #110

2009-06-22T00:10:00.001-07:00

Hope everyone had a good Father's Day! This strip took longer for me because of the ink or dip pens I'm using is starting to either overflow ink with a press or not ink at all!

Cartworks #109

2009-06-14T15:41:00.001-07:00

Another strip up and it is earlier than usual. Have a good week!

Cartworks #108

2009-06-08T01:01:00.001-07:00

Another strip is up and I've finished this "Cashiering" story arc. I had a good time at Sac-Con today handling a table and trying to sell some art. I made a small amount from selling my mini-comic and penciling and inking a commission. I picked up a good amount of comics for $19 also.

Cartworks #107

2009-06-01T00:20:00.001-07:00

Another strip up! I'll be at the Sacramento Con on Sunday (June 7th) with a table space at the Small Press Zone. I'll be taking commissions and talking to the various guests while doodling away in a sketch book. I'm penciling and inking a new 8 page comic to sell for cheap with a free sketch. I'll see you later!

Cartworks #106

2009-05-24T23:53:00.001-07:00

A new "Cartworks" strip is finally up. I've had personal matters to take care of for the past few weeks which led to late postings and the inevitable postponement (which I never posted about) of the comic. Now, everything should be taken care of and I've brought out a new strip. Enjoy!

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

2009-05-02T11:21:00.000-07:00

Its Free Comic Book Day and I drew a small comic in honor and appreciation of today. I plan on going to a couple comic shops to find good free comics before I head to work.

Cartworks #105

2009-05-02T11:20:00.001-07:00

This strip is incredibly LATE! At least I got it up and I should have a new strip tomorrow night.

Cartworks #104

2009-04-21T00:21:00.001-07:00

Put up the strip late again and still continuing this story arc. Also, my friend Derrick mentioned me hitting #100 in his latest post after a hiatus from his movie reviews so thank you. Same for Raquel who baked a great birthday cake for a party I attended.

Cartworks #103

2009-04-13T14:27:00.001-07:00

New Strip is up and I hope you have a good rest of the week.

Cartworks #102

2009-04-07T00:06:00.000-07:00

I apologize for the lateness of this strip due to my laziness. Anyways, this story will continue for a few strips so enjoy!

Cartworks #101

2009-03-30T00:22:00.000-07:00

New strip is up and I plan on continuing this story for a few strips. Also, I plan on getting something done for the next Plea for Peace Art Show this week.

Cartworks #100!

2009-03-23T00:19:00.001-07:00

Not much of a special 100th strip. Maybe I can save one for another strip. So thanks to whoever who has viewed the comic over the months.

Cartworks #99

2009-03-15T23:59:00.001-07:00

Well #99 is here and #100 is a week away. I might have something a little bigger than the usual 3-8 panel strip for #100 and it depends on how long I can spend on it. See you next week!

Cartworks #98

2009-03-09T00:31:00.001-07:00

Guess some people don't appreciate the store displays. Had a little busy week and I continue to play with watercolors (figuring out tones and splashing water on the paper) as I draw. Have a good week.

Cartworks #97

2009-03-01T23:45:00.001-08:00

Came back from Wondercon and had a good time. Picked up some new and old comics and got some advice from a few pros. The art show/concert on Saturday went pretty well with some good music going on as well as my first watercolored art on display. Have a good week!

Cartworks #96

2009-02-22T23:33:00.001-08:00

I usually get these kinds of questions and comments while I work on a rainy day. I don't reply like the last panel though. Wondercon is this weekend as well as another art show at the Plea for Peace Center on Saturday night with the theme is "Robots vs. Zombies". I have a piece almost finished and should finish a couple more (hopefully) for the show which I'll probably attend late due to going to Wondercon. Have a good week!

Cartworks #95

2009-02-16T00:52:00.001-08:00

The art show/concert was pretty fun to be at and seeing my work hanging on the cage (with binder clips!) was cool. New one up right after Valentines Day and 5 more strips before Cartworks #100 will be drawn.

Cartworks #94

2009-02-08T23:59:00.001-08:00

Almost did not put any text in the panel but decided to. I'm going to be part of an art exhibition on Saturday (Valentines Day) so I'll put up more information later on in the week.

Cartworks #93

2009-02-02T00:10:00.000-08:00

Finally, and update around the right time! Rushed a bit on this strip and not overall happy, it'll have to do. Hope everyone had a good time watching the big game.

Cartworks #92

2009-01-26T23:24:00.001-08:00

Another late comic is up. Got to work on getting back on time again.

Cartworks #91

2009-01-19T17:28:00.000-08:00

Finally put this comic up despite being late again. Have a good week!

Cartworks #90

2009-01-12T23:20:00.001-08:00

About time I put the comic up! Well the Christmas season has come and gone and it has gotten quiet and slow at work which is fine by me. Have a great week!

Postponed until Monday!

2009-01-11T23:13:00.000-08:00

Have to figure out a new schedule now that I have an early starting class. I will post a new comic tomorrow.

Cartworks #89

2009-01-04T23:48:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone had a happy new year last week! New strip up and have a good week.

Cartworks #88

2008-12-28T23:38:00.000-08:00

Hope you had a Merry Christmas! I had a good one till night time when I got sick or all the wear and tear on the body caught up to me and left my body in pain for the next day which caused a call-in for work. Anyways, I'm feeling better and to make up for not posting on Christmas, an eight panel comic finishing up the Christmas tree story. Hope you have a happy New Year!

Cartworks #87

2008-12-22T00:26:00.001-08:00

Decided to put the "Christmas Tree" arc on hold to do a quick one panel tonight. I plan on continuing and/or finishing it this week.

Cartworks #86

2008-12-14T09:15:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody! I finished and posted this strip early because I'm heading to the Sac Con and I have a closing shift at work. The Christmas tree arc is still going and will last for a few more strips. Have a great week!

Cartworks #85

2008-12-07T23:26:00.001-08:00

New strip is up and I plan on continuing this story arc for a few more strips. Have a good week!

Cartworks #84

2008-12-01T01:25:00.001-08:00

And that is why I put up a single panel comic today. Got home from closing and penciled, inked, scanned, and lettered it. The comic I planned on putting up I may do something different with later.

Cartworks #83

2008-11-24T00:47:00.000-08:00

Got another strip done and this week is Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Happy holiday this week!

Cartworks #82

2008-11-17T00:28:00.000-08:00

New strip uploaded and I was about to postpone for a few hours and decided not to. I wear my sweater in the morning because its pretty cold but I never take it off no matter how warm it gets. Most of the time, its because I'm not wearing the work code shirt underneath.

Cartworks #81

2008-11-10T00:18:00.001-08:00

Thought up a quick strip and finished it, but it did kind of happen last week. Have a good week readers!

Cartworks #80

2008-11-02T23:48:00.000-08:00

Went to APE yesterday and today and handed out some printed "Cartworks" strips to the fine artists who were selling their comics and art. Had a good time and now it'll be back to school work and other work for the rest of the week.

Cartworks #79

2008-10-26T23:22:00.001-07:00

And another week begins so another strip is put up on this blog. Wrapping up last week's story arc quickly and time to figure out other stories I can draw out till I hit the golden 100th strip. Also, this strip is part of a current internet meme so you can figure out who the webcomic artists are in these panels.

Cartworks #78

2008-10-19T23:26:00.001-07:00

Another new comic strip is up the day after the 24 Hour Comics Challenge! I participated in the 24 Hour Challenge (for more info go here) and "wrote", penciled, inked, and lettered my comic in 14 hours. Maybe, I'll post the complete comic up here but not sure when. Have a great week!

Cartworks #77

2008-10-12T23:38:00.001-07:00

Started up another story arc but it should'nt be as long as the last one. Have a good week!

Cartworks #76

2008-10-05T21:53:00.001-07:00

I finally wrapped up this on-going story arc which was quite fun to do. Even with the "bail-out" end joke and no backgrounds in any of the panels (cause I'm lazy), it was good to work on a longer story-line. Talk to you all later!

Cartworks #75

2008-09-28T23:33:00.000-07:00

Finally! A break from all that shoveling. Keep following for the continuation or go back to check what you missed!

Cartworks #74

2008-09-22T00:09:00.001-07:00

Still continuing on with this long story arc (still figuring out how long its going to take!). Anyways, enjoy and see you next week!

Cartworks #73

2008-09-15T01:11:00.001-07:00

More of the story arc continues! Will it take all day? What do the co-workers plan on doing? Find out next week (which I'm pending)!

Cartworks #72

2008-09-08T00:31:00.001-07:00

New working week starts and so does a new strip of "Cartworks". Still going with this long story arc and now got around to what the guy was supposed to be doing and the dangers of an icy floor.

Cartworks #71

2008-08-31T23:44:00.001-07:00

A new week and another continuation to the new story arc where the cart attendant gets ready to clean the freezer mess. Have a happy Labor Day!

Cartworks #70

2008-08-25T00:00:00.001-07:00

Welcome (or welcome back) to the continuation from last week's strip.

Cartworks #69

2008-08-17T23:32:00.001-07:00

Finally going to try at another story arc! Not sure how many strips this will last but what its based on lasted a whole day.

Cartworks #68

2008-08-10T23:21:00.001-07:00

A new strip is up as the new week starts! Sometimes I have to figure out excuses to keep people out of the bathrooms while I wait for everyone else to exit so I can clean.

Cartworks #67

2008-08-03T23:47:00.001-07:00

Hi again interent users and another strip of "Cartworks" is up. This was based on a little accident that happened after someone ran heavy machinery into an aisle causing a mess I didn't want to clean up.

Cartworks #66

2008-07-28T23:31:00.001-07:00

Back from Comic-Con and had fun as well as handing out a little booklet of printed versions of some of the comic strips to other artists and editors. Reason why this comic looks very different is the fact that I used a brush pen to draw the comic and borders. Have a great week!

New Strip postponed!

2008-07-27T22:17:00.000-07:00

Still in San Diego and I have no access to a scanner and didn't bring my camera usb plug so I'll have to post the newest strip late Monday/early Tuesday when I get back home. Sorry about that readers.

Cartworks #65

2008-07-21T00:26:00.001-07:00

Another strip is up and Comic Con is this week! I'll be bringing another little book with some of the strips printed to give to other artists and people among other things for portfolio reviews. See you later.

Cartworks #64

2008-07-13T23:34:00.001-07:00

Been hot this past week and it finally took its toll on me during a shift on Saturday. During the afternoon, I was outside for a few minutes and felt something drip from my nose. I rubbed my nose and saw blood on my fingers so I went inside and waited for it to stop. Anyways, have a great week and Comic-Con next week!

Cartworks #63

2008-07-06T23:32:00.003-07:00

4th of July weekend ended and I'm still around to bring the internet another strip. Weekend was pretty busy but it was a lot easier getting through than last year. Enjoy the week!

Cartworks #62

2008-06-29T23:06:00.000-07:00

Random moment that happened yesterday meaning odd comic drawn today. Have a good week everyone.

Cartworks #61

2008-06-23T00:08:00.000-07:00

Hey again and welcome to (or back to) the "Cartworks" online comic strip. Sometimes when I'm not feeling good or it gets too busy at the store, I need some extra help and thats where the cashiers come in.

Cartworks #60 Birthday Edition

2008-06-18T01:10:00.000-07:00

Today is my birthday and I put up a new strip to coincide with it. This might happen today anyways.

Cartworks #59

2008-06-16T00:45:00.001-07:00

New strip is up and a Happy Father's Day.

Cartworks #58

2008-06-09T07:53:00.000-07:00

Coming at here with a couple hours late post! Well I made a quick intro for this strip after drawing over 50 strips now heh heh.

Cartworks #57

2008-06-02T00:21:00.001-07:00

New week starts and a new Cartworks strip is up. Sometimes you got to watch out for falling stuff in the back.

Cartworks #56

2008-05-25T22:49:00.001-07:00

Long time no see guys! Well got another strip posted on the blog and its about the odd weather the town had this week.

Cartworks #55

2008-05-19T00:33:00.000-07:00

A new week begins and a new strip is up. Have a great week!

Then and Now Meme

2008-05-16T00:40:00.000-07:00

Quick little post to put my own drawing into the "Then and Now" meme and went all out with it because I've added some coloring. Now I've finally contributed to my first internet meme.

Then and Now Meme

Cartworks #54

2008-05-12T00:38:00.001-07:00

Another Monday starts and another strip posted. Little blip that happened Saturday and I just made up the last panel. Have a good week!

Cartworks #53

2008-05-05T01:19:00.000-07:00

Hi and welcome back (or for the first time). Another new strip up for everyone to gawk at and thanks to the podcast Webcomic Beacon for posting up the 1 year milestone for this comic on their site over the week!

Cartworks #52

2008-04-27T23:23:00.001-07:00

And here is Strip #52 which means a whole year of a weekly comic strip has been completed. Thanks to anyone who has read any strip or still owns one of the con books I made from last year up to now.

Cartworks #51

2008-04-20T23:50:00.001-07:00

Hey again and welcome back to the online comic strip "Cartworks". This strip came off the top of my head earlier since this situation happens a few times a week and I never thought about it until now. After work, I'll get in the car and pull the seat back so I can sleep for either a few minutes or an hour or more. Anyways, enjoy this weeks comic!

Cartworks #50

2008-04-13T23:47:00.000-07:00

We've reached 50! In two weeks, a year of this comic strip has been completed. I'll say thanks to anyone who has checked out any strip in this blog.

Cartworks #49

2008-04-07T01:38:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone and another strip (a four panel one at that) before the strip hits #50.

Cartworks #48

2008-03-31T08:06:00.001-07:00

Was busy the whole weekend to draw a new strip so I post up a single action panel. Enjoy!

Cartworks #47

2008-03-23T23:40:00.001-07:00

Getting closer to Strip #50 so I'm not sure if I should make a big one or not. Anyways, Hi and welcome to Cartworks again (unless this is your first time visiting) and odd stories do happen.

Cartworks #46

2008-03-16T22:53:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone! Another week ends and a new Cartworks comic appears. This comic is based on something I usually do at work which is taking other guests carts when they don't have anything in it and are nowhere near it. Luckily for some, they realize I took it and they tell me thats their cart.

Cartworks #45

2008-03-09T23:21:00.001-07:00

Hey again and here comes another comic for the week. Hopefully the joke can be seen in this comic cause I mis-lettered on the page and did make a big inking mistake. See you later!

Cartworks #44

2008-03-02T19:09:00.003-08:00

Hey guys just posting a quick one panel comic because I'll be going out later tonight. Enjoy!

Cartworks #43

2008-02-25T00:05:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody! Went to SF's Wondercon on Friday and Saturday and due to not feeling like it didn't go on Sunday. Had a great time and bought some new comics and took a look at what other artists are doing.

Cartworks #42

2008-02-18T22:23:00.000-08:00

Apologies for posting up the latest (and quickly done) comic late. Had a family emergency to tend to and I was not able to work on the strip I planned on doing this week so I made this one panel comic up.

Cartworks #41

2008-02-10T22:36:00.000-08:00

Hey again all and welcome to another strip of "Cartworks"! Wondercon in San Francisco is coming up and I plan on going all three days and check out all the artists, events, and models.

Cartworks #40

2008-02-04T01:02:00.000-08:00

Well the big game has come and gone but I hope to not see those big-screen tv's that we sold again! Well enjoy everybody!

Cartworks #39

2008-01-27T23:10:00.001-08:00

Hello again everyone and I have another comic about animals. There was a cat some of the co-workers found but they let it out later.

Cartworks #38

2008-01-20T22:13:00.001-08:00

Hi again all and another strip is put on the blog. This one happened up until the dog comment (I made it up in my mind but wouldn't say it) and goes into something else. Anyways, enjoy all!

Cartworks #37

2008-01-13T22:44:00.000-08:00

Hi again everyone and another strip is on the net! This happened a few days ago when I walked in on a little conversation between co-workers.

Cartworks #36

2008-01-06T14:33:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year! This happened yesterday during a conversation between me and a co-worker about my duties during a restroom check-up.

Cartworks #35

2007-12-30T23:02:00.001-08:00

Happy Holidays and I hope you had a cool Christmas! This did happen to me on Christmas but somebody "stole" the gift so I ended up with something else.

Cartworks #34

2007-12-23T12:32:00.000-08:00

Christmas is almost here and I might put up a new strip for that day! Anyways, this strip is about me using gloves that have already been used for more than it should have been.

Cartworks #33

2007-12-16T23:54:00.000-08:00

Put this one up pretty quick since it happened yesterday. Saw a guy walking around with a chainsaw (without a chain) but I was still wondering why he was carrying one in the first place.
