Puppy Love was last Friday. There was an excellent turn out and over $300 was raised for Chicago Canine Rescue. I also sold the smaller of my two pieces, so that’s cool too.
I need to take this as an excellent kick in the pants to get me started doing more art stuff around Chicago. Bud’s talking about trying to organize an exhibition in the empty store front in our apartment building, which would be sweeet.
These characters (and more!) might someday find themselves in a new comic of mine. They were originally conceived (and this was drawn) in summer of 2005.
Character names, clockwise from top left, are Octoboy, College Skank, Rondo, Ginny, Rondo being attacked by College Skank, and Whatever Zombie.
Whatever Zombie is where it is at. RAAAAGH BRAINS! Whatever.
If you find yourself in Chicago and don’t already have plans to see the new Jason movie, you should come check out this art show at Willow. Ten percent of proceeds will benefit Chicago Canine Rescue. Oh, and this will be my first time having art on display in Chicago, which is pretty exciting. Now I just need to figure out what to make/display. Bud Rodecker will also have work in the show.
And now for something completely video…
I am convinced my father is the next great outsider filmmaker. He is an undiscovered John Waters.
I loved the packaging on fireworks about as much as I loved exploding things.
Texture House collage lesson for 5th grade
I’m subbing for a week in an art room with no lesson plans or seating charts. This was a lesson in the curriculum book and I wanted to make a real example to show the kids instead of a 2×3 inch picture in a book.
