Mega Man

Huh, I wonder where the creator of today's TeeFury shirt could have possibly gotten this idea from?

It's so funny to me that I created something that people are actually doing parodies of. 

Is This Thing On? 2

Opening tonight is Gallery1988's "Is This Thing On 2: The Weird Year," an art show that pays tribute to stand-up comedians with host "Weird" Al Yankovic!

I decided to base my piece on Lewis Black after I watched a documentary about him a few weeks ago. I've always liked him and even got to see him live when I was in college. The thing I remember most about his show was that he said it was dumb to be a republican or a democrat, which is something I've said forever. It's always gotten me funny looks, so it was great to hear somebody like him yell it through a microphone. I've been lucky enough to meet quite a few of my geeky heroes and I have to say that he tops the list of nicest so far.

Also, it seemed like an obvious joke for any stand-up, but I thought it would be funny to portray him as The Comedian from The Watchmen comics.

Eat Your Art Out V

Here's my piece for Eat Your Art Out, an art show that benefits the LA based Angel City Derby Girls. This was my first year participating and the theme was old-timey carnivals. 

I've only seen a few photos but it looks like it was quite a shindig. It also seems to have become a pretty high-profile art show in its own right, judging by the elaborate setup and some of the artists involved. After doing some poking around I noticed that one of the participants was Pierre Bernard, the graphic designer for Conan Obrien's show who they feature in skits from time to time.

Super Button Mashers

Here's a piece I created based on the NES game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! It's currently featured in the Super Button Mashers art show at the OhNo!Doom arcade and gallery in Chicago.

This is the first time I've been invited to a show at this particular gallery, and after some online digging I managed to find some photos of the opening reception. I have to say that I am extremely proud to have been a part of this event. It looks like opening night was packed, the space is incredible, and the energy and creativity of the featured art is staggering. Seriously, please please check out this online gallery of the show by Flickr user Dejaandyroo, who took tons of photos including the ones I've posted here. Here's one I found of my framed piece:

Sexy Vampire Party

I entered the Threadless contest for pin-up themed T-shirts with this design, which I call "Sexy Vampire Party." It's up for voting over the next seven days during which I am encouraged to promote it heavily, so please check it out and vote!

Things To Do In LA Interview

Earlier this week the website Things To Do In LA posted an interview I did for them after they saw my work at Gallery 1988's Adult Swim show. Give it a read, won't you?
