the end is nigh

why must the end of the month always. ALWAYS. be the most deadline ridden, hmm? eff this. here's some of the babies i am birthing and already have popped out so far in this windy october...

well, after struggles with my super and UPS, i finally got my new promo junk!

me'n'britt have been working on a collabo-comic for canzine (which you should come to, by the way...), and i'm almost done my pages.

and finally, i'm a part of a one night only show with friendly rich and the lollipop people at the tranzac on nov.7th, and i'm just sanding down my new beaut of a surface to work on...

take note of the 18" ruler for scale... awesome find at goodwill for $3. the last supper is on the other side. i cant make this shit up.

AND, in a few days, hold on to your genitals, cus i'll be posting my first ever actual real life freelance gig... hang tight.

jimmy the greek

recently, i did a custom plush-y-ma-doodle. this dude's better half gave me money to make a replica of his manfriend for his birthday. isnt that sweet? i bet they made out after...

this here, is a greek man named JIM. he is greek. sooo, i guess that makes him jimmy the greek? weird.

he is one half of the dorky dorky geeky dorktown of kirby krackle

and i love him. dont tell his woman. or i'll hunt you down. i swear...
