Busy busy busy, this is one hell of a year. Does anyone else wish 2010 had never started? Ho hum. Anyhow, a few things to get going. First! Spring is almost upon us! New Jersey is in the 50s, and I've broken out my new boat shoes. What a wonderful life this is. Next! Expect later in the month to see a new issue of Josh Blair's Candy or Medicine, featuring a new installment of RoboRabbit from me to you. How wonderful are collaborations? I've recently read all of the CoM's thus far, and boy, they are just superior comics. For those artistic types out there, you should get in touch, and consider submitting to it. Expect new things, two new TTs are in the works. I hope you all are well.

Still a bit light on the updates, light on the living lately. New Jersey won't stop snowing. Dandruffy state, it is. Anyhow, I've been vigorously editing (or putting it off, with good intent) a few stories and poems to send out soon. You can catch a short short 5 word poem of mine in the March issue of Four and Twenty, a lovely little PDF publication out of Portland. If so inclined, you should submit something. You'll love it! Aside from that, I'll let you know how the submissions go. Also, for anyone in the New Jersey area, you may remember me saying I'm a member of the Metuchen Junebug Arts Festival Committee. Well, we're taking applications for musicians who want to play, artists who want to show off their art, and writers who want to participate in open mics. So let us know your medium or media, fill out one of these forms, and please donate 10 bucks, we need it. Then come out and play!

So, a deal's a deal. Check out Echo Sounded for some all new, slightly depressing Joseph Carlough poetry. All my friendly Rowanites, be you alumni or current students, head on back and throw up some writing. The program (and friend Katie Fitz) are really spearheading this, trying to get a forum going among the students. Looks like I almost missed out, good thing I'm only newly graduated. On a related note, I'd like to also throw out a quick plug to EatSleepDraw Magazine, of whom I have no stock in, but just think is a fantastic publication. They also run a Tumblr that regularly publishes submitted artwork from anyone, allowing you some free publicity and a chance to really see what people are up to. Thanks to the ingenuity of Tumblr, I've found a lot of friends and great work this way. I've put two photos of my fun and silly cross-stitch abominations onto ESD's blog, and am looking forward to the next magazine. Go git it!

February 6th, 2010
Hello all. I'm spending the weekend, snowed in at my friends' apartment at Rowan University. It's nice to be back to the alma. I spoke with many of the old professors, and was made aware of the writing program's new blog, Echo Sounded. Looks good, I'm going to submit something, you should, too! They were wrong, you can go back! Although, I wake up far too early for these college kids.

January 30th, 2010
I'm on the committee to plan the Metuchen Junebug Arts Festival this year, and while it's still in it's baby phase, you can find out some info in my Readings and Events section. We're finishing up the newest forms and such for vendors and performers. If you think you might be interested in performing, exhibiting art, or selling at a table, contact me!

January 26th, 2010
Halloa, everyone. First of all, very neat, Today Terrific at the Jacksonville Public Library. Get moving, all you Floridians, and know my joy! Hooray! Also, for anyone interested, my very good friend and (now) L.A. based cartoonist Mike Jasorka is putting out a new issue of Hello World soon, which is a celebration of art, essays, and poetry, comics, and, well, everything. So! If you're a creative type--and even if you're not--go submit something, and get to know him. He's a wonderful guy. I've had two poems in his first issue, and this issue is going to sport a spooky bedtime story. So look out for it!

January 14th, 2010
Anyone out there living in Jacksonville, FL, Denver, CO or Toronto, Ontario? If so, head to your local zine library, you can find Today Terrific at them soon! How exciting! Also, my coloring book of poetry, Animal Poems and Animal Colors, should be on sale at Wooden Shoe Books in Philadelphia. So get on it!

January 1st, 2010
Christina, on my short story, "The Hab & Dash;" - I'm drunk. It was one of the best stories i've ever read. And I've read lots of chekhov.

December 21, 2009
As expected, this month is going wildly busy. Finished up a 23rd birthday, worked a lot, getting ready for the full blunt force of the holidays, and look forward to the new year. I'd like to do some readings, I'd like to be creative again, this is a busy time of the year. Nearly finished my graduate school applications, and I've recently turned myself into a giftwrapping machine that doesn't have any work. So I guess it's useless. Anyhow, again, not much happening until January, but hold onto your hats, because January will be a big month.

December 3, 2009
Halloa! I'm sorry updates have been scarce, they've been scarce around the board. I'm in the midst of my graduate school applications, and the holidays are about to swell full force, along with my birthday, and as many personal problems and events as I can imagine. Man, things can't get busier nowadays (not really: but not much else is going on!) Anyhow, things will probably remain a bit scarce until the new year, but keep checking GotMyGlasses and, of course, The Snailboat . I hope you are all well. I'm surviving.

November 24, 2009
Ah! The holidays approach. Thanksgiving is a favorite of mine. Love the massive amounts of food, love the family, love the friends, love the even more food. Especially love the sandwiches made the next day. Anyhow, real things. The Giraffes of Richmond is going to debut soon as an email project. Let me know if you'd like to receive the emails, and all of the people who drew me giraffes will be getting emails soon. Hooray! Other than that, I have been busy doing non-online things, sadly. Ho hum. I hope you're all well, and are gearing up for some good eats.

November 16, 2009
Horrendous weekend! What happened! You wouldn't believe me if I told you! To brass tacks! I was on brief hiatus, but I'm back and better than ever. Here are some future updates for you Carloughites to look forward to. Three new GotMyGlasses are on their way, and the winner of the contest's pictures are up, also. So hooray! Let's see, also, new altered painting about to be on sale on my Etsy, not done exactly yet, but will be done soon. Give me a day or two. Also! The great Carloughnian job hunt is about to begin, as, I'm done doing nothing but just exerting my force in silly panderings. What a world, hmm? I hope you are all well.

November 10, 2009
The Richmond Zine Fest was insanely fun! I sold a lot, met tons of really awesome people, and hopefully met many who will want to collaborate and work on projects together (at least, Today Terrifics!) As per, I'll have a few of the best zines I've gotten and who the wonderful people are who made them up on my blahg. OK, but, situating back at home, and wondering what to work on now. Hum.

November 6, 2009
Richmond Zine Fest tonight! If you're in the area, make sure you come out for it! Today Terrific Pouchsets, $5 each, including all seven issues, even the elusive 7 and 8! Hip bags and paintings and all kinds of things will be up, and I'm positive everyone else there will have some awesome stuff to sell! hooray!

November 3, 2009
A few things. Frenzy begins as the Richmond Zine Fest is just a few days away. Ho hum. I'm going to be putting Today Terrific 7 up today on my Etsy , and I've just complete Today Terrific 8, should be back from the printers (my mother's copier?) any day now, and will be ready and raring to go for Richmond. Started work on TT9 also, kind of, very preliminary, with the fantastic Marguerite Dabaie! Who knows when that will be out, though, not for awhile! What else, house cleaning, what else...oh, yes, participating in NaNoWriMo this month. Sucking away the rest of my time. Totally worth it.

October 28, 2009
I've put in a lot of past readings and events, oddly enough, in the readings and events section. Go see the history of Joe as a writer!

GRE is over with, and I did well. Next step in life? Richmond Zine Fest . There are going to be many new things, corduroy and other bags for sale, a new Today Terrific, a new project consisting of The Giraffes of Richmond, Virginia, and hopefully some good old fashioned ingenuity. I'm really excited to see what everyone else is bringing to the table, it's going to be such an amazing festival! You'd better made it out to there (especially if you know me!).

October 20, 2009
I know I've said this before, but I promise I'll get to work on the gallery section soon. Until then, leave me comments . I hardly get any, and it's such a nifty little thing!

October 14, 2009
Updates all around! New Blog , New Got my Glasses , New items, updates, and corduroy bags on The Etsy , getting ready for the upcoming zine fest (Hopefully, I'll have a brand spanking new TT ready for it, if Katie ever gets off her butt and sends me things). Were all these links necessary? Almost definitely not. But I'm feeling linky. Also! I'm trying to get better at sewing. It's not going well. If it does though, there will be many new fun things on the horizon.

October 7, 2009
Just the usual lately, updating the blog, updating the glasses, updating the Etsy. New bags up soon, hurray! Going out of my mind studying for the GREs and revising stories for my portfolio. Hope you all are well! PS Also, getting ready for the November Zine Fest. Soooo excited, you have no idea.

October 2, 2009
Hey! So I submitted something to the art blog EatSleepDraw, and they put it up! Neat! Check it out! It was an old embroidery type thing that my great aunt made and my parents were going to throw out. Go lookee.

September 28, 2009
Links, links, links! Get going to all of them, I haven't been doing too much, but I've done some. Let's see, what can I say, you should check out My Blog , I've some new posts, songs, reblogs, pictures, and I've started my series of highlights from the Philly Zine Fest, with Marguerite Dabaie's work . Next, of course, check out the newest Who's Got my Glasses , because someone else took them, and finally, last but certainly not least, head to My Etsy so that you can check out my new line of corduroy bags. They're really wild. And awesome. I'm getting much better at crafting bags.

September 21, 2009
What a weekend! I'll have a big hoopla blog post up on the Philly zine fest within the week, I'm back home and unwinding. What a great time, thanks for everyone who came out to support me, I hope you are all well.

September 19, 2009
The Philly Zine Fest is tomorrow! Head to The Snailboat to see a great big ol' picture of everything I've made. Try and make it out, this is going to be such a neat event!

September 14, 2009
Aye yi yi. So much work for the upcoming zinefest! I've got about 30 or so pouchsets and 10 boxsets. 50 coloring books and many many many Snailboat Sagas to give out to anyone who wants them. How exciting! There's a new Got my Glasses up also, and let me tell you, I've recently come into many new photos to put up there. So the next few days should be a steady influx of missing glasses and inanimate objects taking them. Maybe even a few animate objects. Oh, what a world we live in!

September 13, 2009
Busy busy busy busy busy busy busy. Getting ready for the Philly Zine Fest on Sunday. Updates tomorrow.

September 8, 2009
New New New things, new new. Head to Got my Glasses to see who has them this time. Check out The Store for the...dum budda boomie bom bum duuuuum NEW COLORING BOOKS! They're ready for sale, they're ready to go, they're ready to just get going. 20 pages of coloring love. Also, remember to make good use of the Contact sections, as it's incredibly lovely, and I would really like to hear from you. The 20th, by the way, is the Philly Zine Fest! I'm excited!

September 3, 2009
Michelle has finished my contact section! Who wants to contact me! You wants to contact me! Head over to that section and send me a note, I'd absolutely love to get it. Oh, also, I'm always updating The Blog , and check if you've seen the new Got my Glasses . Next project, I've been taught how to use the gallery, so I'll attempt to add to that every day. Hum.

September 2, 2009
Hey kids! I'm getting some work done on a new section, the Gallery Section. this will be some photo galleries of all my zines so far, my self-publications, me, readings, events, things I've crafted, everything. It's going to be zoppity. I hope you're all excited!

August 29, 2009
I've begun work on a new zine. This one is going to be a short comic, based on a letter I wrote my freshman year of college called Dear Death. It's a letter I wrote to Death telling him that I feared him, finally, because I wanted to be in love, finally. So hopefully within the next few days. Also, Today Terrific Edition 7 is almost complete, and the coloring book needs just another 4 pages. Hooray!

August 24, 2009
So there is going to be a massive swell in Got My Glasses soon. I've done a lot of new pictures, so expect some fun updates. I've been crafting very much, rather, just getting things in order. Getting ready for all the stuff coming up. Under a month now until the Philly Zine Fest where much of my stuff will be sold. At some point soon, I'll get a page up with pictures of everything I've done, a gallery type, huzzah. As for now, stop by The Etsy to see everything!

August 19, 2009

Welcome to Joseph Carlough dot Com, your stop for everything Joseph Carlough. This is the next step of my wonderful relationship with the internet, and I can tell already, we're in it for the long run. Here you can see who really does have my glasses, a new perblog a la snailboat (only better), and see where I'm doing what when, and possibly why. As of right now, everything is new. So look at it all. And prepare to see a lot more, a lot more often. Huzzah!

New update - Everything is up and working except for my resume (which hopefully will be up soon) and my contact section (which is up, but doesn't work yet). So have fun! look! Love! I hope to also add a section for some writing samples and files of me reading. So staaaaay tuned!
