“Fancy It Up” Numbers

I have begun the Super Trip, wherein myself and two friends travel from Seattle to Los Angeles via car and bicycle. The first day wasn’t so exciting because it involved getting to JFK, sitting in an aeroplane for 6 hours then settling in at the friend’s apartment in Seattle. There is so much to come on this trip, and I plan to post some drawings.

Yesterday I posted a Happy New Year for all the folks who follow my blog. After that, I went about my work day as usual, getting back into the swing of things after a most excellent break the past week and a half. During lunch, however, I checked the blog, I suppose egotistically, and the strange and happy dragon on the front page really struck me. I made a few doodles on a notepad and surmised what he or she might look like at different angles. As I did, a mascot for the year of 2012 took shape and seemed rather undeniable once done in color. This is Newton.

The Fine Art of Design.

Did a magazine ad for a great vintage shop in Palm Springs. Was a fun project and allowed me to do more textural work which I’ve been getting into recently, and a touch of screentone which I’ve found hard to incorporate into my style but like the challenge a lot. 

Truck Repair

Pixel art out the wazoo, folks.  It’s gonna keep coming, so I hope you like it.  I do.  Here is a little something I made for a website in case it went down… which is kind of a bummer, so I tried to make it fun.

Bird 2: Rock Pigeon

The indefatigable Rock Dove a.k.a Rock Pigeon a.k.a “Pigeon” a.k.a a lot of awful names. The quintessential New York City bird is up for today’s small part of the large Birds Of Brooklyn poster set I’m working on. I hope you’ll keep tagging along as I uncover more of the avian element of where I and so many nature lovers call home (even though we should be living somewhere a lot more natural if we’re honest with ourselves). Thank goodness for Prospect Park.

Season 3 Episode 13 in which two highschool girls experience the true power of planetary alignment! They kill baby Ryan Reynolds and are accused of Satanic conjuring by an increasingly agitated town. Some dude gets murdered by a spring... great episode.

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

Misspelled Characters: Captain Americat

New segment, folks, in which I imagine a world where careless writers pass along a minimally but catastrophically mistyped script to the artist who does his/her best to make the character function as intended. First up: Captain Americat.  No shield pictured because it is being used as a milk saucer.

It’s October so we’re watching spookies. Here’s good ol’ Deputy Dewey from Scream 1.

At the end of a week, sometimes you just need to get Airborne.

Our dog Frankie.
