Animal Alphabet Watercolors On Sale!

As you know, Alpha Beasts is cranking up next week and I’m pretty excited. My gut’s telling me there’s going to be a pretty big turn-out of folks for this go round. In the meantime, though, I’d like to find new homes for my remaining Animal Alphabet watercolors…. so I’m slashing prices. I’ve gone crazy, I tell’s ya! Just enter “AlphaBeasts” at checkout for 20% off–that’s less than $10 each!

Purchase them here: Animal Alphabet watercolors at Storenvy.

There’re still some nice ones here. I’m pretty surprised no one’s snapped up the mandarin duck or the white pelican.

Portrait Night 10/11 (Hank Williams, Sr.)

I did a caricature/likeness of Hank Sr. a while back for my old mini-comic, American Music A-Z. I’ll have to dig it out and look at it for comparison’s sake. This isn’t a great likeness, but hopefully it’s an improvement:

Sketchbook 10/7

I’ve been neglecting sketchbook posts of late. Partially that’s just because I’ve been super-busy and haven’t been working in it as much as I should. Also, though, I’ve been tending of late to post stuff to Twitter or G+. Anyhoo, here’s a recent page:

Portrait Night 10/04 (David Yow)

Last week I finished up my Our Band Could Be Your Life-themed drawings, but right in the midst of that I received a portrait request that I had to shelve until now. Thematically, it fits in pretty well, though: David Yow of The Jesus Lizard. I may be misremembering–it was a while back–but I believe it was Christian Sager who put in the word for a David Yow drawing.

There’s a bit of nice synchronicity to this Yow drawing as well: Just a few days ago I managed to get a hold of a really nice-sounding recording of The Jesus Lizard’s never-released BBC Peel sessions, so I was listening to those while I drew this.

I saw The Jesus Lizard perform only once–opening for Helmet–but it was a truly amazing show. Also: David Yow had pulled one of his testicles through a hole in the crotch of his jeans, where it remained on display throughout the performance. So there was that.
