Lover Duckies

 Hello there, puppies!

 I have gone and submitted a design to Threadless’, Pin-up Tee Challenge!  I’ll love you forever if you pop over there and give me a 5!!!  My goal here is to buy a new computer with the winnings.  My poor lappy is on the verge of hard-drive failure and has been through some recent, intensive repairs; so I live everyday in fear of it taking a massive techno-shit on me (yes, I back up obsessively).In addition to my ducky-faced duo getting inked up on a shirt, Threadless will also print up awesome temporary tattoos of the design (which I am WAY TOO giddy about).

So, please…  find it in your heart to help a ducky out.

PS: That robot tee I did with Threadless is an affordable $9.50 at the moment!

Scoop-Bros Print

Well, HELLO!

It has been what feels like ages since I posted on my own site.  I mean, what the hell, right?

Recently, I carved out some time to do a small edition of prints for my lovely friend Deanna Rooney’s Sweaty/Drippy artshow at Meltdown Comics (which happened this past Friday).  And I gotta say, I am PRETTY STOKED on these.  I had SO MUCH FUN printing up these sexy, melty bros.

This is a tri-color (florescent pink, blue and yellow) whopper of a print, silkscreened with transparent inks on velvety, porous, ULTRA-THICK pieces of 16×16 inch letterpress paper.

In the area’s where each color overlaps, they form new colors, giving it the appearance of additional purples, greens and oranges. I could not be happier with how these came out. HNNNG.

I plan on doing way more experimental prints like this, with the prismatic overlapping tones.

These will be available for purchase online very soon!  There are only 40, but if the edition has enough interest, I’m thinking about doing an alternate color version for funsies!

I hope you dig ‘em!

 

 

Comeek! : KEEP YOUR KIDS AWAY FROM ME WHEN I PEE.

Here’s a lil’ comic about peeing, and children.  This one is also a true story.  I’ve also included as an additional bonus, my shitty pre-comic sketches (just click dur link)!  Please to enjoy this comic of urination. (Click the comic itself for a crazy-stupid-large-legible version of the image)

Comeek! : TRUE STORY

To document other goings on of last nights dinner, aside from the god-like creation of the term “The Chocolate Unicorn”.

Yo-Landi

I rarely ever draw people I dig or preexisting characters, but due to a massive overdose of Die Antwoord, I couldn’t control my hands as they scrawled out images of Yo-Landi Vi$$er, who is already a living cartoon character.  I expect more doodles of her in the future, as she’s just WAY to fun to draw.  The finished product is based on this here sketch…

STICKY BLOODY

So, I guess it totally slipped my mind, as I’ve been REALLY active on das TUMBLORR and my poor little site has been hideously ignored…  but BLOODIES stickers are available in my inter-shop!  YAAAAYYY!!!  They come in sets of 4 (one of each of the Bloodies: Jabby, Mashy, Choppy and Poppy), for $8 dolluh a set.  All of the packaging is biodegradable (including the plastic baggies), and each set was hand assembled lovingly by me, and not tiny children that had their loved ones held at gunpoint. The stickers themselves are professionally printed n’ die-cut on thick glossy vinyl, and have black backings so nothing underneath will show through.

If you happen to grab a set, send photos!  If I get enough, perhaps I will do a little brog post about where you guy done stuck ‘em.

As a final note, because EVERYONE like getting prezzies, each package comes with a handmade BLOODY button of a randomly selected character from the set.  Unless, you TELL me your favorite BLOODY, in which case I’ll almost always give you the one you love bestest.

I’m really excited about these stickies, guuuuuys!

PS: I still have a few sexy MUTINY OF THE FLESH PRINTS AVAILABLE!

Seduction of the Idiots Art Show : OTTAWA

I was asked by the über talented Bob Flynn And David DeGrand to participate in their “Seduction of the Idiots” show, taking place in Ottawa, Ontario!

I painted a 4 peice collection called “The Bloodies”, including “Mashy” the Mallet, “Jabby” the Bottle, “Choppy” the Cleaver, and “Poppy” the Gun.  Each painting is 6×6 inches, painted with acrylic inks on pine panels!

Here’s a write-up about the show!

Opening Party: Friday, August 27th
7pm to 10pm

Comics have long been accused of transforming young, impressionable children into savage maniacs incapable of existing as productive members of society. This is of course, completely ridiculous. At worst, comics warp fragile minds into wanting to become cartoonists themselves, which is arguably slightly better than the juvenile delinquent scenario. In any case, comics are here to stay, whether uptight citizens like it or not. The artists on display in “Seduction of the Idiots” are all examples of what can happen when comic and cartoon addiction is not dealt with early enough. Let this art show serve as a warning to parents everywhere; know what your child is watching and reading every second of their lives. The last thing you want is to be the parent of an idiot.

A Pile of Clones.

My hand-painted (all in acrylic inks), super fancy skate deck is complete!  It was truly a labor of love.  Jhonen Vee assisted me in naming it, “The Path to Individuality is a Pile of Dead Clones”.  If you are in the LA area and have some time to kill, you should poop on by to the show!  There’s a good chance I’ll be there, standing around n’ shit…

One week of MUTINY!

I’m so ECSTATIC, yo!  Myself and LTDtee have teamed up to make Mutiny of the Flesh shirts!!  They each come in custom boxes, with the artwork printed on the top, as well as an 8×10 print, all for the terribly reasonable price of $26.99.  They are only available for THIS WEEK ONLY (ending August 1st)!  So, if you digg em’, please pop over to the site and scoop one up!

They have also posted some SHWEET free Mutiny wallpapers in a variety of sizes!

I have a terribly itchy case of SDCC’s.

I am sure many of you secretly (or openly) resent me for my horrendous lack of consistency, but just know that deep down in my heart, I truly don’t care.

I will be at San Diego Comic Con hocking my wares, and waving my arms enthusiastically.  I would love nothing more then to see your faces, and wave my arms in them!

YES, YOU! YOUR FACE. (pointing)

Here’s my schedule (SLG Booth):

Thursday – Saturday: 2:30pm-4:00pm & 5:30pm-7:00pm

Sunday – 2:00pm-3:00pm

So, come say hello!  We can wave our arms enthusiastically together.

ALSO:

I have completed a super-fance-town, two color (black and turquoise) print , entitled “Mutiny of the Flesh”.  This was hand screen-printed, by me, with much love, sweat and cursing in the 105 degree heat of Los Angeles.  It was screened onto my most very favorite paper, a super-heavy, translucent, almost plastic-like, 75lbs cover weight vellum.  I have been completely obsessed with this shit for ages.

Size: 13.75 x 19.5 inches

Each print will also be accompanied by two matching buttons!  See image BELOW…

I will be bringing these along with my to SDCC, but if you’d like me to set one aside for you, they’re up in my etsy shop, just for yew!

Secret sidenote: If you are all into, around and up in this design, LTDtee.com is going to be creating “Mutiny of the Flesh” shirts for a limited week-long-run!  I’ll tell you more when they become available… SHHHH!!!

This one goes out to all my bitches.

Welp, I’m not going to deny the fact that it has been a while….  but you know, sometimes shit goes down, and life hands you fist-loads of dookie, with shards of candy poking out of its sides.  I have received a grip of emails over the last several months, from people either questioning wether I had died and my ghost has simply been updating my twitter account, or outright DEMANDING that I update my site.  I can’t help but feel simultaneously flattered and horribly irritated (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).

Anyhow, this is for you.  I felt it a bizarrely appropriate afterthought that I update my blog on Easter (despite being of Jewish descent).  Like Jesus, today my corpse rises from the pastel-colored celestial Egg of Rebirth, to don my magical Armor of Peeps, and mount the Giant Bunny of Salvation, to cleanse the souls of the damned with my candy-lasers of cleanliness.

BZZZZZTT!!  BZZZZZZZOWWW!  BZZZZZZZZTTT!!!

Okay, you’re clean.

So, here’s the poop.  Thanks to the full-time jobbery and work-hardery, I saved enough funds to erect a proper screen printing lab!  We ain’t talking a kiddie set up, neither.  Kinks are in the process of getting smoothed, and it should be in full swing by the end of the month.  I’m hoping to put up a site that is strictly print-related, with my small operation going by the name “Robber Fly Prints”, but also working in conjunction with PaperDevil, another upcoming print site.  I will not only be producing my own super-fancy items, but also working collaboratively with other artists to make awesome collab-printsets and other print-media available to you lovely peeps.

I have much on the table at the moment, but I will be snapping photos and documenting it along the way to share with yous.  Expect upcoming print-posts, showing all who don’t know, the process of what goes into a single print.

So dats it, doods.  I have handed you the poop.  I hope to be posting more consistently, but if I do happen to disappear, please don’t yell at me.

Skull-sucker…

I recently did this teensy 6×6 inch painting on a thick, pine panel with my favorite acrylic inks.  Yuhknow, just for funzies.  I thought I should share it with your faces. I’m considering selling prints of this lil’ dood…  If there is interest, tell me!
