The dangers and troubles of being a panda zookeeper.

Me, a left brained person, trying to collaborate with creative right brained artists on a project.

Anyone else relieve anxiety this way? It always calms me down to have something to focus on.

[alexdumb]

Even when I’m making theater I accidentally comic it first....oop.

[alexdumb]

Made some quick post it note sketches of the @damesanddragons crew at work today. If y'all aren’t listening to this podcast yet you should be!

2 dudes, chillin in open graves, 5 feet apart cause they’re not gay

[alexdumb]

Uh....except they are very much married and gay? This is an art piece by Miller & Shellabarger where they dug their graves side by side with a tunnel connecting them so they could hold hands.

The couple has created other fantastic romantic pieces exploring time and physicality by tying their beards together or knitting opposite ends of a very large pink scarf.

Why are kids ruining this beautiful love story to make a sub par meme? During pride month??? I swear.....*grumble grumble*

[alexdumb]

Quick sketch of Dave & I listening to @theadventurezone, which is my favorite piece of storytelling right now. The narrative is rich and complex and the characters are so silly and lovable and unique and weird. Especially Taako, everyone’s favorite mischievous gay chef wizard who flirts with Death himself.

The Forgotten Zine Archive (a #zine library based in Seomra Spraoi) is currently part of the Dublin Zine Fair! Tonnes of zines and an awesome reading space 😍

[alexdumb]

Woah! My Happy Birthday comic is in Dublin! How did it get there??

[alexdumb]

This isn't a question, but I really like the way you draw noses and felt that needed to be said, ok bye.

Aw! Thanks dude. :) I have a lot of fun drawing noses because they kind of always look silly and stupid. <3

This year's witchsona has finally mastered the ancient magic of not putting up with your bullshit. 

[alexdumb]

Woo! Finished my mini comics for tonight's Rhino Fest performance! Come see The Broker's Nose! Tonight at 9pm and tomorrow at 2pm at Prop Thtr. Check it out!

[alexdumb]

Come see me this Saturday at SUPERHEROINES! Opening reception is this Saturday! September 27th, 6 - 10pm at werkspacechicago. Excited to have my work alongside some of my best friends and favorite cartoonists!

[alexdumb]

I'm so excited for cakechicago this weekend! Stop by table 14 to trade some zines with me and the mega talented juliavondebur! I have THREE new comics one of which also has a MATCHING OFFSET POSTER.  Yes! Check it out!

[cicadamagazine]

Aaaa, so good! Alex Dahm’s amazing May/June Cicada comic. Alex told us all about her creative process here. 

[cicadamagazine]

[alexdumb]

By the looks of this pile, the awesome folks at cicadamagazine have some great taste in zines! They snagged some comics by my good friends  juliavondebur and thismighthurt and introduced me to the rad artwork of toothandnail and everydaypants!

(oh and some of my comics are in there too) ;)

[alexdumb]

The pretty flowers David gave me almost mask the scent of chemical fumes from the toxic art supplies I'm using. Almost. Sketches are a little preview of the comic I'm working on for the 2014 cakechicago anthology.

[alexdumb]

Hi I'm Alex. I secretly love cold weather because I get to stay home, watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and drink hot chocolate while I make comics.

[alexdumb]

Welp, I'm slowly finishing my comics for hourly comic day. It's only 4 5 days late, so everything is going better than expected. Will I ever get out of bed? Tune in next week my fellow comics engineers to find out!
