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…

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.

DOLLOP.

I had this lil’ stuffed doods at SDCC, but sold out of them almost instantaneously!  I will be making some more, but as I have no photo documentation of the physical lil’ guys, here is the original drawing they done sprang from…

The second they are available again, I’ll be sure to post a linky!

IMPENDING SDCC…

tenseshadow

Hello, mine kindela.  I know it has been all too long, as I have been recieving messages informing me that I have passed away or simply given up on all of you.  Not true!  Life has simply served me up a steaming pile of crap, causing me to quiet down for a wee bit, but only in the end making me more powerful.

SDCC!  Time now to don your favorite sweat-stained Storm Trooper costume, and break out the wieners…  it’s that time again!!  San Diego Comic Con is in a few days, and I will be there.  I will be there bathing in the stench of fellow geeks, and rubbing myself down with jars of antibacterial-juice in order to keep myself relatively sanitary.  Relatively.

Please come by the SLG booth, and say “hello!” as I will be signing solo part-time, and would love gaze upon your smiling faces.  I promise that I am quite friendly.

Here’s how the signing schedule gonna go:

  • Thursday:  Jhonen and myself – 2:30-4:00pm and 5:30-7:30pm
  • Friday: Just me – 11:30am-1:00pm, Jhonen and I – 5:30-7:30pm
  • Saturday:  Just me – 12:30-2:00pm, Jhonen and I – 5:30-7:30pm
  • Sunday:  Just me – 10:00-11:00pm, Jhonen and I – 3:30-5:00pm

I look forward to seeing you there!!!

PS:  Above are a few hand-painted soopuh-mini prints I will be selling at SDCC!  Each are 1.5×2.5 inches, hand-cut, hand-printed (gocco) on wood, and come in matching wax envelopes!  TEENSY-TOWN!!!  Each are lovingly handmade by yours truly.

PSS:  I will be posting other bits ünd bobs that I’ll be bringing to SDCC in the upcoming days!

Do you know the onion man?

onion4

So, I’ve been silk-screening, and painting on fabric…  with the hopes, and intent of sewing up lil’ stuffed toys.

Well, success!  I’ve made me an angry lil’ onion man.  The process still needs a bit of tweaking, and he’s a bit raw, but I will soon be making little friends to sell in my etsy shop!  You too can have your very own crudely, hand-made buddy…  constructed out of PURE CUNCH LOVE.

PURE.

CUNCH.

LOVE.

YUH-HEAR?

Dum DUM DUUUUUUM!!!!

Well, it’s finally happened…  All of you have been terribly patient.

My etsy shop is FINALLY up and running!  I will be periodically adding new items to it, most of which are handmade.  I apologize that it took as long as it did mine kinderlekh, but you know how life can get in the way, and trip you up.  Anyway, pop by, take a gander, and keep checking for updates.  I’ll post new additions to the shop both here, and on dur twittor.

Wooo!!

Here is one of the lil’ buttons from the “Living Dead Love” set #1.

Today, I felt my Mortality (sketch)

mortalityHere’s a blue pencil sketch for an upcoming print I’m working on.  Take a gander, perhaps?

Hurl.

hurlbrown

Here is the straight ink for a print that I am working on, that I have lovingly entitled “Hurl”.  Don’t ask what is coming out of her mouth.  No, really.  Don’t ask.  This should be all printed up gocco-style, on wood paper in the next few days!  Woo hoo!  I will toss up a followup post with images of dur finished product.

Gocco Printin’.

Hi-dee-hi-dee-ho, littluns!

I recently puked up this little dealy, (which I have dubbed “Hop-Skip”) and for your veiwing pleasure I thought I’d slap it up here.  It depicts a shifty looking, dual-headed jump roper, surrounded by a border of childishly rendered venus flytraps.  This piece was printed as a 4-part separation, on my wee gocco press.  One could use the analogy: Gibson Les Paul™ is to Guitar Hero guitar as screen-printing is to Gocco press, to describe this sadly dying printmedia-type.

This lil’ print measures at 11×8.5in, and has a limited run of 28 editions.  It will soon be available for purchase at my future etsy shop.


Updates!

Salutations, peepsies.  I know that the frequency of my posts have taken a bit of a nose-dive, so I feel I should post a wee update.

At the moment, I am working on two books for young readers (which I am both writing and illustrating), and I’ve been slappin’ down the inks with my little Gocco press; hand-printing some limited edition prints to sell in an etsy shop.  Finally, I’m preparing some paintings for an art show that SLG will be having in December.  I will post more when I have more to tell. Pooonch!!

Aside from all that, I have been avidly collecting, and pinning insects.

I’ll be sure to post images of the bits n’ bobs I am working on, but until then, watch this video of a gent in Thailand who makes disturbingly realistic human body parts out of bread.

Break out the disinfectant and hot dogs, SDCC is upon us!

I have received notice from SLG headquarters when I will be signing at their booth at SDCC!  The (tentative?) schedule goes:

Thursday:  12pm-2pm, then 3pm-4pm

Friday and Saturday:  12pm-1:30pm, then 3pm-4:30pm

Sunday:  12pm-1:30pm, then 3pm-4pm

If you too are going to be enduring the San Diego Comic Con sweat-vortex, please feel free to pop by the booth to say “hullo!”, or some other exclamation!  Thursday I have a feeling, will be quite quietish, as I’ll be flying solo that day. I will most likely be the one huddled behind the stack of Jellyfists, nose embedded in my PSP/DS/sketchbook, or something.  Come on by!

Theeengs to come.

THERE ARE NEW MORSELS OF NEAT UPON THE HORIZON!

In time for San Diego Comic Con, the “Head Full of Bees” poster, based on the Jellyfist character “Baby Bee Head”, will flop into existence. Twenty-four inches tall, and printed on sassy eggshell-toned paper, this was truly a labor of love. Please, my friends, feast your ocular cavities upon dis…

This poster will be available through Slave Labor Graphics, at their booth within the SD Comic Con, and on their website in the upcoming future times. When I actually get an address, I’ll post it up.
