DOG & DWARF

MY HEADPHONES CAN'T FIND ME
I hate the fact that UPS won't leave packages in the city without a signature. Inside of a city building's mail room is f'n 9x safer than a random doorstep in a suburb.
DROOPY EYED SKETCHES
Some quick sketches out of one of my books...I've been thinking about doing a series of these heads giant like, maybe flat color on old wallpaper...

DEAR STL COMMUTERS...
I sincerely apologize...I was, in fact, still drunk this morning, from last night, on the interstate when I may or may not have cut you off. Things happen when you're client is a major liquor brand and they come to town.

ABDICATION INDUSTRIES
Not only does Abdication Industries not exist...we're branching out...maybe. And not now...soon...ish. A small group of us self proclaimed cool kids are looking to make the likes of a shitty building our new fort...some people call these things studios. Something we can paint in and collect all the crap no one wants in their house... Once I'm done saving for the Canada trip in March, the hunt for a space is officially on...'til then its just half assed. In the meantime, if anyone sees any (pay attention...key word here) cheap looking buildings for rent that may not be listed anywhere a normal human would find it...throw it my way.

CAN YOU REALLY REDESIGN DELICIOUS...
Have you heard about this nonsense of redesigning hotdogs? Stupid as all fuck, but I would really really like to be the guy that comes up with the new hot dog...
CRAZY LOVE
Title is not deceiving what so ever...this is a crazy ass story. I watched this documentary yesterday...

"The animation work was made in Adobe After Effects. Each frame was then printed and the print was subsequently scanned back into the computer. The scanned frames were then assembled back into the original animation, now with a new rugged look, created by the visit in the physical analogue world. No effects added after scanning."

LIMBLESS LOVE PROGRESS
Getting a bit closer...and less than 48 hours 'til deadline. I should make it, but its gonna hurt...mostly because this will be the first one of this sharpie series that I actually publicly show, I need to re-ink the F'er and make sure its super clean...you know...and that whole arm thing. Also still need to shade her body, rework some of the face slightly, etc...

SUPPLIES . DOG . PROGRESS
So I became a little obsessed last night and got a lot done on my piece for the show on the 20th...and I'm paying for it this morning...but whatever, it was worth it...at least to me any ways. So yeah, here is where I'm at...and I am in a bit of a predicament. Despite warnings of arming my lady here with a knife from a fellow reader...I drew one in (what can I say, I don't listen well)...don't know if you can see it on this low res shot or not, but her right arm is at a 90ish degree angle and holding a machete that rests across her shoulders and bleeds off the right side...any way...now I don't like it (the arm, machete, hand part), and I need to figure out what to do. I'm not sure if it'll look weird and like a cop out if I put both of her arms behind her back as if pushing her boobs out, innocent, playful sort of thing...or a hand on the hip...or pin up style, right arm in the air armpit shot...I don't know...all I know is don't want to F what I've got done up...

WHITE MYSTERY MP3
"White Mystery is the latest project of Chicago garage-rocker Miss Alex White, which now finds her joined by her brother, Francis White"...not sure how I feel about the shout-singing yet. And the default Myriad or whatever the typeface on the cover is, angers me.

SUITS OR BAD AMERICAN SLOGAN TEES
I've got a month or so to decide on...and shop for my week long Canadian trip's attire. So its been boiled down to:
a. thrift store 3 piece suits
b. bad American slogan tees
oh and its also been suggested that c. Canadian tuxedos be considered...
I'm personally in the suit camp, but can be swayed with good reason.

MONTREAL
Well, its official. I can now travel across US borders as long as I have a mustache and sideburns coving my face...according to my new fancy (not really...its actually very poorly designed) passport, which I just received in the mail. See you in March, Canadians strippers. And this ignorant American does not speak French, so please start practicing your English.
