My Isometric Hometown

A week or two before Xmas, I decided I would do a drawing of the neighborhood I grew up in for my parents as a gift. Now, about a month and a half late, I’ve finally finished it. Check it out, and click for a larger version: Full size here (~3500 pixels wide) I knew …

Hoppy Hour

For the fourth Wednesday in a row, Lisa and I took the bunnies to Hoppy Hour in South St. Paul. I was a little nervous about pulling out the camera, but it’s too cute not to post a few photos. Hosted by the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society, everyone brings out their buns in a rented …

Hourly Comic Day 2011

You’ll enjoy it. Sorry I haven’t been posting so much this month, readers, it’s been busy. I …

It’s been three months since FSJ began as an official ‘webcomic’ (whatever THAT …

Dispatches from Wauwatosa West ’06 (#3)

My goal is to finish the whole class by the time its 5-year reunion rolls around — in about 6 months. Plenty of time. Anyway, you can find the entire work (which will be updated as I finish more), plus some dispatches from Plymouth-Whitemarsh ’73 and painted portraits at my new minimalist re/anti-designed website: scottdonaldson.net/yearbook.
