My friend's kid left for school in Thailand. At his goodbye party, I used prisma stix, which I hate.

I was on tv!

2008-08-31T22:57:00.000-07:00

I was just featured on TV's G4 on Attack of the Show: "Women of the Web" (00:58 on the player) I was informed that the host is ironically sexist on purpose.

and wtf is with the black box on my boob? I'm not naked. Oh well....

Carica-shirts

Emily Anthony and I were shipped almost to Canada (christ!???) for a coupla' days to make some Tshirt action. I'll post more.... if you are good.

THE #1 song and video of all time:

Come now, admit that it's catchy.

I can only assume Jan Terri (sigh of awe) influenced the Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. Mr Eric Wareheim, friend and fellow Philly native, just used my Tim/Eric caricatures for promotional use... thank you, sir.

Superstar web comic creator John Allison happens to enjoy only the best music. Therefore, I presented the perfect gift from a fan:

Steve

2008-08-18T00:05:00.000-07:00

It's like this, see. Today's BBQ boasted this new specie of human to catch mine eye.

"Behold, a wizard on meaty back-blade," I whisper. I am then treated with beer-stink tellings of the unfortunate split wizard slaying by a broken beer bottle bar battle. As a drawer, I needed to draw him a drawing of this backnefied cloud wizard with wizardly creationist bolts of magic shooting down to Earth. If America was a person, it would be Steve.
(the BB cap tanline is a lie, my brain laid that idea)

2 treats, if you like

This is my dear confidant, Emily Anthony. We think I got her likeness. She's difficult if just size-contrast is considered... most people only caricature size differences. (nothing about her is very big or small) Caricaturing texture or shapes that represent awkwardly/stupider make for a funnier likeness of someone who lacks a small or huge feature.

Here is an unrelated mysterious gentleman from the future

That first one was drawn at that Marriot Sketch night.

I dread my younger readers will be traumatized, but here's some selections from the San Diego Caricature Convention last month ("C4"). They are of caricature artist friends, Aaron Philby and Beau Hufford. I won the funniest award and I also won the speed drawing thing. It was lots of fun!!!! (sorry these are from photos, not scans)

P.S. is anyone going to comic con?

Here's a very small segment of my "extra fun" work, which is more about just laying something out really fast for an instant thrill usually on scrap or sketchbook paper. What kinds of stuff do you draw just for mindless entertainment or on the phone?
