Something about that Spark

We got a new lightbulb for above the mirror in the bathroom. It's so bright I am pretty sure I can see through my own forehead and into an alternate dimension. It's great for doing your eyebrows though.

The Fox and the Phonograph

I was trying to think of things I could draw and make into prints for my Etsy. I have heard rumors around the internets that foxes just may be the cool animal of 2010. However in my opinion, foxes have always been pretty rad.

So here we go, phonographs, a fox, a chicken, and some liquid music.

Oh Rats, This Was Going To Be A Secret

I'm getting my promo materials together! I'm all of a sudden thinking that I should mess around with the look of my website to match this card front. I'm kind of in love with these colors. Maybe I'll beat up my roommate and make her paint the apartment in these colors.

Yes, those colors and those sweet lines that Flint Lockwood painted all his sciency things in Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Hot damn, I love that movie. It made me laugh so loud in the theater that I'm pretty sure the people who worked them came in to check if I (and Mao) were okay. I got it when it came out I got the DVD and laughed just as hard.

Someone asked what's up with the rats in my work here and there. It's because I had rats. Rats are hella rad. This is Lenny, her roommate was named George. Lenny liked to hang out in my shirt and make her way into my bra and just chill. She was weird.

Devil in a new trench coat

I could have sworn I made a post, but I guess it got eaten in the dead of night. Kind of scary considering the subject matter of the images I threw up. Weird!

Here are the images, I've been on a devil binge lately. After seeing The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus tonight compared to my already overinflated love for Tom Waits, the horns are going to be flying. Just you wait.




And some alternate color:


I threw all of these up on my Etsy. I'm getting way too addicted to that website.

Trains make me sleepy

Happy 2010, blah blah blah.

I'm hoping this year will be a good one, there is a lot in the plans and I'm sincerely hoping it all works out. I'm working on postcards to send out and thinking of little packets to send to my top list of places I would like to work for. Making that list of clients is difficult stuff, my man. Scary to boot.

I'm also planning on moving to Indianapolis this year. I figure I've conquered the Mid-Atlantic, the South, now I'm moving on to the mighty Mid-West even though it freaks me out a little. It's flat and stuff is really far apart. That is weird. However, weird is good and in my plans on taking over the country one region at a time, it will surely do.

In the mean time, I'm trying to suck up some of the life around here. My brother and I went to see the Bodies exhibit. I know i'm a little behind on that being new and amazing, but still. It was pretty damn cool and amazing. I had to resist touching everything, I treated myself to some ice cream for not touching anything.

Man, oh man, I hope it snows again soon. I'm not having this whole hey look it's cold as all heck but nothing is going on weather-wise thing.



My resolution for 2010: eat more pickles. Everyone loves pickles.

I bet he smells bad on the outside too

I hope everyone is having a nice holiday season, I know I'm tuckered out from them. One more to go, just one more day.

Here's a cowboy doing some deadly cowboy things. Man that is a tough job. Much more difficult than my coffee juggling and blue-hair wranglin'.



But for now, I'll just be camping out here, blogging and doodling from the warmth of my taun-taun. That makes me kind of like a cowboy badass, right?

I'm on Gizmodo!

Holy bleeping crap, you dudes and dudettes. I'm sitting around, sipping some coffee and considering watching some Star Trek the animated series and what do I get? My friend links me to Gizmodo (who I normally check every morning cough 3pm cough) and what is on there?!

My Red Ring of Death Monster on motherfucking Gizmodo.

FFFFFFFFF.

Also I just threw a lot of stuff on my Etsy this weekend, check it out. Link to the right of all these words.

RRoD T-shirt

Soooooo, right.

HOLY CRAP MY SHIRT IS GOING UP FOR SALE ON SUNDAY, YOU SHOULD BUY IT.

ahem.

It's only being sold for 24 hours, so your window is limited. Be sure to whore it out to all your friends who play video games.

Get one at teefury.com!

T-shirt news!

I had a self-realization moment the other day. It included me playing rock band by myself at about 4am with a night mouth guard. Man, I nearly died when I figured out how much of a nerd I am. Not to toot my own horn, but deng, my geekery is pretty much all over the map. I mean, for the love of god, my first shirt getting printed is an xbox joke.

So I drew it.

And as a follow up on Mao's semi-insulting but 100% true drawing of her in the future, here is me:

To be honest, I really don't like to draw myself, but I couldn't pass up on making it.

Old Mao

The best way to compliment your friends is to draw them as they will be in 60 years in a pretty insulting way. This is Mao.

Obviously I Was Really Bored At Work.

I think I might be a few years late on the whole whales being cool thing, but damned if I'm not ahead on them being the coolest transportation of the future.

Tricky Dick

So, while at school I was part of the radio station. My DJ name was DJ Tricky Dick and I was absolutely terrified of the telephone. I also would catch myself in the middle of saying some dirty words pretty often. I guess it fit? I don't know, you guys. I've just always been interested in that whole time in US history. Maybe it's because my parents were dirty, dirty hippies. Only not really.

My Dad has called him Tricky Dick on many occasions though.

I now use Tricky Dick as a screenname on websites from time to time, including Teefury.com. I made myself the above image to use as an artist icon for when my shirt gets sold in December.



In the mean time I'm kind of desperate for a job where my pay isn't dependent on whether I spill soup on someone or if I forget to bring extra sugar to the table or something. Admittedly, that fish suit looks like it would be made with the skins of Muppets and if my theory on their annual shedding of skin is correct, I totally want one. It's not like I want Dr. Teeth dead, you guys. Obviously that's the only skin that fish suit can be made of.

OHGOD OHGOD OHGOD OHGOD

I'm 99% sure I'm getting my little xbox red ring of death design printed at teefury! I'm so excited, more information to be had in the future.

Also, whoever tells you to shake it off when you hurt yourself is a jerk. I just fell down while exercising and I'm pretty sure nothing could have been better than the ice cream I had after.

Screw getting back on the horse, get on that waffle cone.

Stop being so weird

I did a really really fast rush-through at the MET today with my friend Michael who only had one day in the city to play with me. His plane was at 7 and we don't know what the AM hours are. Therefore we had to rush around to do fun things. Sadly the MoMA was closed today, who the hell closes on Tuesday? So upsetting, you guys.

Anyway, the afternoon in the city made me want to draw some crazy stuff and I really wish I had the time to sit down and draw while in the museum.



I once read that certain Japanese trains ban cell phone use, oh lordy do I wish NJTransit would follow in their footsteps. I really don't care about what your doctor said about that thing on your back, though I'm glad you got it checked out. Gross.
I would also like to point out that I actually have whorl prints on every single toe and finger. If you're trying to frame me for some mass puppu-napping please keep this in mind. I would love to be involved in puppy naps.

Science!

Ohohohoho you guys. I had a pretty awful day so instead of moping around I'm trying to get stuff done. It was a fight or flight reaction so instead of demolishing my kitchen I am demolishing my website!

Not only that, I'm completely overhauling my portfolio and making a brand new logo. If you have any suggestions, suggest away. In the mean time, here is a piece I did off of the image on the lazy suzan from last post.


But really. Don't steal from tip jars, folks. That is just tacky.

giiiirl, you are so lazy.

So I got un-lazy and put up a whole bunch of fun stuff on my etsy, as you can see over to the right. It includes prints of the thank you card and some lazy susans.


Man. Big Bang Theory makes me laugh harder than it should.

leaky sounds

Green is alright, I'm more of a Purple man myself

I was going to have this whole drawn out save the world style thing, but honestly, I just wanted an excuse to practice my type and use this new texture I made.

I made it with cardboard. Yes, I recycled it.

What kind of a monster do you take me for?

Xbox, you sher got a perdy mouth

My BFF Jill Rob's Xbox got red ringed the other day. It has happened to me, I know how it feels. Something along the lines of Gary Busey doing something unfavorable to you with a baseball bat covered in glass shards and poo. Because of this I made him a little something showing how his Xbox feels/why bad things happen to good Xboxes.

Cold is rollin' in

The weather has been getting unseasonably chilly and it makes me happy, happy, happy.
