New First Friday Poster

GO! To the Hotel Vernon the First Friday of every month!

12x36" I think if you drive by the Hotel Vernon you can see it from the street. I've been wanting to get into rock show posters for a while now, until I get that silkscreen press going, I'll be doing the large-scale B&W photocopies. They're not ideal, but they do have a rough quality that feels pretty cool.

so. my cat is gone.

no reason. Cujo was asleep between my arm and chest and she just started choking. it was about 3am yesterday morning. i reached down to check her and she was unresponsive. we rushed her to the vet, it took about 10 minutes from our bed to the emergency rm, but by then she had no pulse, no breathing. she's always been healthy, energetic, smart and attentive. even right before we went to bed, she was running her crazy laps of the house.
for all the years that i have been working from home, she has never been more than 5 feet away from me. she will be missed by our little family.

stArt on the strizzle

welp, we just wrapped up the start on the street yesterday, thanks to all who came by and said nice things and bought nice things (esp the shirts that nicole did a great job of silkscreening). and lastly, thanks to all the inexplicably bizarre weirdos (you know who you are), you kept the day interesting and uncomfortable, nice job!

again, i spent the day doing penny illustrations. last year, i made 27¢. this year i'm not sure, the accounting system got a little messed at the end of the day, but the grand total was somewhere between 55¢ and 60¢.

Zombie Fluxx!

will be shipping in time for halloween. your local comic shop or gaming shop should have it. sooo...go buy 10 copies!

i got to do the illustrations for this game. The creators, Looney Labs and all the other folks involved were real cool to work with and the original game of Fluxx ain't bad.

check it out...

Sorry to pile on the foolishness, but...

I'm Too Late!
I've been working on this invention for years, perfecting it. Sadly, it didn't make it into production in time to help Senator Craig...

New Piece

Googled meself last night...

...and besides this other awesome Derek Ring:
















I found an actual review for The Monster, the comic I did when i was in college.

"Quite bizarre production concerning a misguided individual continuing the work of Baron Frankenstein. Finding a corpse in the woods, he stitches on assorted new parts with the help of an assistant he has deceived and regressed to the state of a moron. There’s an engaging eccentricity to the odd, second-person narrative and angular, spiky artwork, but the content is slim and meandering."

That's pretty much correct. Neat-o.

Some new zombie sketches

these are some sketches from a new project i'm working on: a zombie version of the game Fluxx. these sketches won't directly directly appear in the game, just some sketch work...the final pieces will be plenty different from these...
