Politically what-now?

Me vs Beaker

This is based on my nickname in high school (pre-beard) that started the trend of people comparing me to muppets. I've yet to be compared to a real person.

Ike & Tina

I knew drawing Tina Fey would be difficult but I had no idea Eisenhower would be so rough. Could be that their faces are so simple. Could also be that I drew these using only the trackpad. At least I'm learning what NOT to do.

Alright, so some will be harder to get than others, but I like this one so stick it.

Here’s the latest in the series.

Heard a great suggestion today: Starbuck vs Starbuck (the one from the original Battlestar Gallactica series and the one from the new series). I’ll get to it eventually but, for now, I’d like to do some that are not in the sci-fi genre as I’ve already done that twice.

Helen thinks I should sell these as prints or cards. Bill thinks t-shirts would be cool. Got any ideas for what I could do with these things?

While you’re thinking of that, keep the subject matter suggestions coming. Wee!

Spock vs Evil Spock

VS

Work has only been slow for a couple of days but I can’t shake the itch to do something creative with my time. So, of all things, I started illustrating. I discovered that my style is - and this should shock the crap out of you - very symmetrical and clean. No, really, it is.

Playing into that, I created this conjoined twin monster thing whose heads represent great rivalries. Well, maybe Sark vs Tron isn’t exactly a great rivalry, but I didn’t want to do something expected.

I want to do a series of these, so if you have any ideas of unusual rivalries, lemme know. I think the next one will be Spock vs Evil Spock or possibly Zorro vs Zorro The Gay Blade. Did I mention that they don’t HAVE to be rivalries? The heads can also represent two sides of something.

Anyway, gimme some cool ideas, why don’t you? THANKS!

Pass or fail?

Say, whatchoothink of these ads? Dave and I created them back when we worked on the account and I’ve been debating whether or not to include them in my portfolio. On a scale of 1(Likey) to 5(Pukey), where do you think they fall?

You Don’t Know Jack-O-Lanterns

Helen and I carved pumpkins this weekend with our friends Sean and Carrie. I call Helen’s the Jor-El-O-Lantern. Mine is, of course, Stewie from Family Guy.

Halloweird

Last night was McKinney’s Halloween Party. Here are our scary costumes. And by “scary” I of course mean “freakish.”

The Duel

I'm just proud as hell of this site. The amazing designers and programmers at McKinney hit this one outta the park. Make sure you check out the song (click ON at the right side of the navigation bar), the Track Design, and the various entries in The Tom Blog. And of course, Declare A Duel.

What I Want for Hannukah

Even though this cool-ass installation is not for sale, I still want it. Maybe my friend Bill will build it for me. With two kids, he must have loads of free time.

DUEL!

Got a problem with someone? Settle it with a duel.

Choose from a list of titles to dispute over or make one up. Pick what kind of duel you’d like to see and watch two Polaris ATV riders face off on your behalf. Sit back and watch the virtual carnage.

Sure, I've been ridiculously busy working on the next big project called The Duel which launched this weekend, but apparently not too busy to create another shirt design. As usual, no idea who the model is. And also as usual, the shirt’s available at Store of David.

P.S. Yeah, I know what the circled U means. Called “irony,” look it up.

New shirt time! As usual, it’s avaialble at Store of David.

Never Look Back

Helen and I are very excited about the new print (signed, woo hoo!) we got this weekend. It’s called Never Look Back and it’s by Andrew Bell. Helen found it at an amazing Kid Robot-like store in Chapel Hill called Wootini. If you like pop surrealism, vinyl toys, Mark Ryden, Jeff Soto, etc., you'll love this store.

What th'?

You may have noticed that I have taken down all ony-Say entries (I have to use Pig Latin because you-know-who has the technlogy to search the entire web for anything with their name in it).

Apparently, I had posted some things (behind-the-scenes photos, rejected ideas, ideas in progress, etc.) that ony-Say didn't want me to post. Oh well. I was just trying to share my excitement for the project but I get why they want to control communication as much as they can.
