I've got a two-page comic in the cool new forest-themed anthology ROOT ROT from Koyama Press. It was done at the height of my beaver obsession of Fall '10 and the first page is pictured above.
Pick up the book (great cover by Michael DeForge) and see the thrilling conclusion.

Modern Man 2011 Demo
I'd be way into this demo by new STLHC band MODERN MAN even if they weren't my buddies and I didn't draw the cover. Listen here!
Their first local show is a matinee this Sunday, April 17th at Lemmon's. I'm looking forward to it!I just remembered I meant to draw a sweet necklace on that dude looking in the mirror. Sorry! If you bring me a demo I'll hand-drawn one -- either gold chain or shell variety -- on there for you.

Culinary Cartography
Here's a cover (above) and map I drew for this week's issue of Kansas City paper The Pitch. The article is a gourmet/local re-imagining of the Country Club Plaza -- currently known for it's chain restaurants, "Spanish" architecture, "Venetian" canal, and fountain full of weird rampaging horsemen -- by the paper's food critic. My starting point for the map:Google map I put together of the area in question:Some of the reference for replacement restaurants I gathered:Rough layouts:Pencil sketch:Lineart, vector background, watercolor wash:Finished map:Cover sketch:
Lineart, white water & clouds layer, watercolor wash:Alternate, more complex version, of the cover. I ended up losing the bacon, BBQ, lobster, wine glass and some other stuff, but it's probably for the better. Thanks Kansas City Pitch!

Woot! April Fool's Mega-Post!
My pals over at Woot! have had me drawing lots of weird stuff lately. Here's a weird (and delicious) taste. Shown above is an old-fashioned papercraft gag you can download, print-out, and assemble yourself. Here's what the sketch looked like, and an alternate idea: If hi-tech gags are more your thing, check out this crazy Woot! Bag O' Crap video game I did a bunch of art for, also unveiled today:The idea is based on these shipping icons we developed a while back:And the levels of the game advance accordingly. I won't give EVERYTHING away but here are some sneak peeks at the levels and some of the goofy little animated snails and jittery obstacles I drew. Level 1 / Sidewalk / On "Foot":I love making animated .GIFs. Level 2 / Highway / On Wheels:Level 3 / Sky / Jet Plane:Flying Spaghetti-O's Monster:Level 4 / Space / Rocket Ship:
If that doesn't whet your apetite to play CRAPSHOOT! I don't know what will. Happy April Fool's Day, everyone!
