vanished 001 jpeg1A-thumb “Vanished”. This is one of the prints from “Port­fo­lio Series Num­ber Two”, and is now for sale indi­vi­dually on the gaping­void gallery.

Its backs­tory is over on my bio page:

“Spring ’98. I was at a bar, it was late, I was kinda tipsy.

Sud­denly I rea­li­zed that my life hadn’t chan­ged much in the last decade since lea­ving college. Work, bars, car­toons, ran­dom con­ver­sa­tions of a big-city nature, second-hand bookshops and art films, the occa­sio­nal bout of ran­dom or regu­lar sex to tide things over etc etc.

It wasn’t as inte­res­ting as it used to be. But I hadn’t moved on, really. And I had no idea where to go next.

Wel­come to New York.

The best car­toons are the ones that give you these ama­zing moments of cla­rity as you draw them. That’s the best thing about car­too­ning, really. Everything else seems rather secon­dary in comparison.”

This is one of all-time favo­rite car­toons. Though I wouldn’t call it “The story of my life” much these days, back in New York… Oh, yeah. Ouch.

    Hi Hugh. Just read Ignore Every­body last night, loving every page. Tried to send you an e-mail, but it kic­ked back.

    Seriously, Guys, all this good­will you’re sen­ding me re. the new blog design has made me, really, really happy. Thank you all so much.… :)

  6. Wow, just loo­ked at your new site using Safari at my iPhone. The mobile ver­sion really rocks! Ama­zing design and UI is something I have never seen before. Side­wide ele­ments tuc­ked away nicely at the top right that pre­sent them­sel­ves in a nice over­lay when clic­ked, social stuff at the bot­tom of posts very cool as well such as pos­ting to your favo­rite iPhone Twit­ter app… I’m impres­sed! Hats off.

  7. Yep, it’s ama­zing how some peo­ple NEVER change after lea­ving college, and see nothing wrong with that.

  8. Doug Vargas says:

    The new rede­sign looks nice, but where are the links to your archi­ves? I’ve often brow­sed your old posts since they con­tain so much valua­ble info.

    Also, why is “Hugh McLeod” in quo­tes at the top of the page? Is this not the real Hugh McLeod? :)
