On Mustaches

During May, my friend and I entered into a collaborative competition of mustaches. We both vowed to grow a stache and it turned out to be a good time because neither of us really needed to be seen by anybody potentially important for about the whole month*. The first few days were easy because I don’t like shaving and only do so every three days. After a week, it got pretty hard. Anyone with sparse facial hair will know the embarrassment and overall badlooks of a thin beard. It wasn’t for a few weeks that I could shave and have my face noticeably be-stached. Once this happened the hardtimes got worse, because I looked very much like a guy who is up to no good - but I powered through, growing the heck out of this rough stuff. I ended Mustache May with a serious fumanchu. Since the end of the month, though, I’ve been unable to shave it completely off. I even went so far as to allow myself a small soul-patch and it concerns me. I took inspiration from a French zombie movie where my darkened, Parisian doppelgänger had a superlative handlebar with flavor-saver. We’ll see where my facial hair takes me. For now, have a look at the evolution.

* we can argue about how you can meet someone important at any time, but this really was a long shot considering what we were doing and where we were.

Hey, it's Friday. A thing for a thing I'm working on. Gonna be real fun stuff.

Beautiful morning here in NYC. Some more poster work for the inimitable DJ Lani Love. Went for a dot instead of my (what's slowly becoming trademark) loose stipple patterning.

Legends of Rock #05 - George Harrison

Fab Four week continues with the lead guitarist for the boys from Liverpool. George seemed like a pretty cool guy, and seemed to stay cool for his entire career, which had to be hard. Big props to George.

I have a new project in mind of some superheroes ordering drinks at a bar.  I plan on making this one in real life if you get me, and framing it all up.  This is a rough sketch of the Batman progression.

Another gig poster for the now Chicago-based DJ Lani Love. Changed up the style a bit this time to better portray her intended pop, disco and 80s setlist. I liked the look of the background on this so I made some wallpapers. You can get two versions of the wallpaper for your iPhone 4 or big old Droid right here.

Continuing this week of records with another Prescription Strength Hugs release! These are songs that didn't make an EP for one reason or another, usually tone problems or whackiness. You can check out the mounting collection of my tunes at the Bandcamp page!

Season 3 Episode 2 in which long-time bad guy, the (Cigarette) Smoking Man, comes to the forefront of evilness. He has to bargain and bluff some other bad dudes and the good guys too and creates some pretty stressful situations for all. 

This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!

Every year, I host a dumpling party in which we make a heck of a lot of dumplings and watch a whole mess of movies starring a selected, beloved, actor. This year, it's John Cusack, so I drew him on a poster for the FOURTH annual ae Dumpling Party.

Legends of Rock #06 - Paul McCartney

Fab four going strong with the guy holding it down on the low end and writing a whole lot of tunes - some not the best, but some timeless and wonderful. Don't get much bigger a rockstar than Paul.
