HOWDY STRANGER!

Hi! My name's Calamity Jon Morris, and thanks for visiting my online portfolio! This is where I keep all my e-stuff!

What you'll find here is a selection of work both my professional and personal projects. I am a guy who harbors many enthusiasms, and I've been goofing off on the internet for a good decade or so at this point, so there's eventually going to be a LOT of stuff to share here. Look around, kill some time, drop me a line if you're so inclined!

As near as I can tell - unless I've got a critical head injury or am hooked up to a giant virtual reality machine which is fabricating reality for me as part of some insidious computer tyranny of the future world - here's what you'll find on my site!

ILLUSTRATION
Whenever someone leaves a charred stick or a golf pencil too close to the bars of my cage, I like to use it to sketch up pleasing monkey scribbles on the walls. In this way, I'm attempting to teach future generations about how we hunted the wild grizzly bear and also about our burial rituals. You'll find in this section work I've done both professionally and for my own projects, not to mention feverishly-drawn scraps of madness clawed into the wall with my own nails. Those are hard to put on your resume. "Skills: good nails."

COMICS
Comics! I love them! I draw them! I am a triple threat, except for the lack of a third thing. You'll find here Little Batman, the Frankenstein boy Jeremy:Just Turned Nine, maybe some twenty-four hour comics and single page jokes, whatever survived the shipwreck. Did I mention that there was a shipwreck? I sometimes gloss over it, because it traumatized me so.

WRITING
I am a guy who has a fun with how the words are made of being put together! You too maybe ought to try to check it once out!

PHOTOS
Here is the truth of the digital age: every blogger thinks they're an author, every photoshopper thinks they're a design god, and every joker with a digital camera thinks they're Diane Arbus. Say, have we met before? My name's Diane Arbus...

CRAFTS
The red-headed stepchild of art! I have taken it into my home, and see how it repays me?

STORE
It's a cash world, son, so pay up (PS - can you pay in Euros please? These American dollars are like plastic buttons these days ...)

SKETCHBOOK
This is always fun. There's no pressure to make a sketch look particularly well-finished or achieve any particular aesthetic goal, which certainly doesn't explain why it took me hours upon hours to decide on which sketches to include. These drawings are laced with irony, I hope you enjoy.

ABOUT/CONTACT
Curriculum Vitae! That's what every Flintstones Vitamin has in abundance, and it's why I'm ten thousand strong and growing.

OTHER STUFF
I'm using this part of the site to throw in the eyes of my enemies, so as to distract them as I escape into my secret Batmobile and race away to safety! VROOOM!

Got any questions, suggestions, sage warnings? Hit me! And thanks for visiting!

-Calamity Jon
