A REAAAAL HUMAN BEEEING

I'm still coming off my Post Ryan-Gosling-Stomps-Things-To-Death-And-Drives high from watching Drive so I'll keep this brief. I just finished drawing-printing-stapling a mini comic that's available at Velocity (and maybe a few other places yet to be decided) and is totally free (as opposed to partially) Rawn Gandy over at Velocity was super nice and helpful and gave me a copy of both his and his wife's comics and didn't laugh me out of the store all of which was appreciated. And because the comic is totally free I'm posting it below in it's entirety because why not. (note: the comics are posted in the order that they appear in the mini comic)

And if you're by Velocity be sure to check out Rawn and Meg Gandy's comics!

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go buy a Scorpion jacket and FLIP A CAR.

SO SAYETH AMERICA, AND IT WAS GOOD.

Been busy this week, between move out, work, and, of course, mentally preparing for Fourth of July. In between all of that, I did a few posters for upcoming shows. This first one was done for the guys in Galaxy Dynamite, a dance/jam band out of Norfolk. 

These two posters were done this past weekend and it was a definite Beat the Clock situation as I had to account for both work and the fact that I'd be heading out of town for the Most Important Day in Our Nation, God Bless America. It was definitely the highlight of my week (which wasn't hard as the other part of my week was moving boxes from one end of the room to the other) and I had a lot of fun working on both of these. I was lucky enough that both Josh and Dusty gave me basic parameters for both (gorilla with kittens and puppies, the word "Brutal") and let me go from there. Also I discovered a new love for the New Yorker fiction podcast. Nothing makes rendering a dog's intestines go by quicker than listening to John Cheever.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IIIIIT

This is a recent ditty done for my friend Corey to promote the show that he and CMC are putting on this coming Friday. They're in the midst of getting non-profit status and have lots of big things planned for Richmond which is exciting; also exciting: whatever the guy who is currently in my alley yelling "WHOO" is getting into tonight.

The show's this Friday at Cellar Door, over on Monument for a mere $5 donation towards helping CMC get non-profit status. If you're into thrash and getting punched in places on your body you should go.

Sketch Boo' plus Special Guest

I bought one of those mammoth Moleskines a couple weeks ago. They're better suited for drawing mugshots while waiting for things to render than classy cafe sketching while sipping espresso in France so that's exactly what I've been doing with it.

Numero Uno

Figured I'd start things off with where everyone starts: EMBARRASSING CHILDHOODS.

These were originally made for my Portfolio class but I enjoyed making them so much that who knows, I may expand into the Angst Ridden Teenage Years at some point. If that's the case expect to see lots of me not attending dances and unfortunate orthodontia.
