Is Tammy There?

Here's an illustration I penned back in July during Comic Con in San Diego. I was in line for a Legend of the Seeker panel. Wooooo, Bruce Spence! Hahaha.

Anyway, here's an explanation for the insanity: For the past couple of years, an Anonymous number has been calling me and asking for "Tammy Clause." Now, you'd think that after the first few times, they would have followed my request and taken me off the list. But no. They've called me at least 200 TIMES. At first it was an actual person, but now (or, at least the last time I bothered to answer) it is just a recording. So there is no hope to plead my case that I am not actually this "Tammy" lady.

I think the record is 6 calls in one day. They've since calmed down a little. The flood of Tammy-seeking calls has reduced to a sporadic trickle. Every now and then though, I'll get a couple or three calls a day. I'm going to enjoy this waning cycle while it lasts!

Waterwash

Sorry for the long break! My dad has been in the hospital for a while, plus things have been really busy around here. I have been drawing, but haven't had much time to actually color, finish or post illustrations. Fortunately, my dad is starting to feel better. Thanks to everyone that kept checking on his status.

This is an illustration I did for my friend Lauh-ren, up in Utah. I have been liking her art for a while now, and requested to be FRINZ on Facebook. And we just traded zine/sketchbooks through snail mail. Fun!

So I drew this random picture and wrote a random exposé to go on the back of the artwork. I was quite entertained by it. I believe she was, as well! Here's the accompanying note:



The illustration was done in pen and colored with Prismacolor pencils. Classic Burt Snail Mail.

Zombieow

And to wrap up 2009, here's a little comic I created.

It features zombies and cats.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Or, Happy Mew Year!

GRINDER Poster Printing

Here's a little video I took to document the screen printing of my Grinder poster. It was a lot easier working with a team than doing everything solo! Much thanks to my friends that helped out.

See you all at Grinder! January 9th at Nitetown, downtown.

Heroes & Outlaws

Finishing up the LaLouisiane illustration series (the fourth of four illustrations representing various new and interesting courses at UL Lafayette) is an image representing the class "Heroes & Outlaws," which goes into detail about various notable historic figures. Two characters that fit the bill immediately were Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp, so I thought it'd be fun to put them in the same illustration. And plus, babies are fun!

Please note that Wyatt Earp probably never held a Billy the Baby. So please don't go fact-checking on Wikipedia ( because I surely didn't)! Ignorance is comedic bliss.

El Lunchador

Ladies and gentlemen, our next contender is a formidable figure, especially around noon. I introduce to you "EL LUNCHADOR."

I really don't have much else to contribute to this in the way of descriptive accompaniment. This guy just illustrates how my mind works, and that I'll dedicate hours upon hours of work for a single, glorious pun.

Ah, life!

Dirty Posters

Here's the aftermath of screen printing the Dirty Jokes comedy show poster. Though it was a learning experience (I messed up a few times), I did manage to get a very good number of prints done out of the fifty pages I had on which to print.

Also, RIP undershirt.

So, I think I'll declare this a success. We'll see if people like 'em enough to buy 'em at the show.
