duck skull

I made this for a flyer for a Halloween event flyer  in October. Nothing fancy, but fun to look at. Things that are good on the internet right now: • A Cocktail Party In the Street: An Interview With Alan Stillman, the guy who started T.G.I. Friday’s (via The Best Time of the Day). There were very [...]

runaway the film

Finally watched Runaway (Kanye West’s short film/long music video) this week. It’s what you’d expect, basically an animated high-fashion editorial with weird, vague symbolism and some kinda heavy-handed racial commentary.

Back in the day, my friends Sarah, Jhane and I were gonna [...]

david fullarton

David Fullarton (above) is my new favorite. Other former new favorites: David Shrigley (a god among mortals), Deb Sokolow. I just finished something awesome; I can’t post it til it gets officially okayed – so next coupla days. Keeping this post short, as I’m in an offensive mood and can’t, in good conscience, spread it [...]

southern justice

Norman Rockwell – Southern Justice I KNOW, RIGHT?!  I’ve been getting into Norman Rockwell lately – his draftsmanship is insane.  I’d always avoided him just because I didn’t dig the americana propoganda sorta themes and the caricaturization. Recently I revisited some more well-known pieces to investigate his technical skills and stumbled across this. Take off [...]
