Flashback Friday - Maroons Comics

I've seen other people do this Flashback Friday bit, so I thought I'd do one of my own. Years ago, I wrote and drew a comic strip called Maroons. It followed the lives of Porkpie, Quackmeyer, and Mooseport as they tried their best to live together as roomates. I only submitted the strip to one publisher and got a response back to try it as a web comic. I also got the sense from the publisher that the industry was dying and it wasn't a viable career anymore. Though my childhood dream of becoming Jim Davis didn't come true, I did take a crack at it.

Fugazi Poster

This mornings music mix consisted of Radiohead, Daft Punk, OFF!, The Hives, Jay-Z, and Fugazi. It got my brain percolating. I wanted to make a poster. First I found some images, drew them up in ink. I threw them into photoshop, and with a little Wacom magic, whala! It's fun making posters for bands who don't need them.

Illustration Friday: Hidden

AKA Garden of the Gods and Cats. I've been working on this on an off for a few weeks but decided to submit it to illustration friday. This week's word is hidden so I thought this was appropriate. One of the things I really like to do is go garage sale-ing for cheap prints that people don't want anymore (for instance, this colored picture of Garden of the Gods cost me $1 with a wonderful gold frame) and then paint something into them. After I made a few of these, I learned that some artists call this detournement. I just like making them.
