New Tiny Showcase

29, Jun 2005

The new Tiny Showcase is up. It’s a bit of a break from the norm in that it is darker than most of the prints have been so far. It has a very Charles Burns feel to it, if you ask me. And again, the proceeds are being donated to charity so if you head [...]

We caught this gem on our way to the wedding this weekend: Check out the slogan for All Star Septic. Fitting. Gross, but fitting.

I got to go to a wedding this weekend up in Front Royal, VA. It’s pretty rural up there. One of the rooms the bridal party commandeered for the wedding was a Sunday school classroom. Apparently there was a recent project where the kids drew and annotated timelines of Jesus’ life. This was the end [...]

Good news! The newest Tiny Showcase is up and isn’t sold out yet. This is going to look amazing. All of those little flowers will pop off the page. I am very excited.

I know I’m a day late with this, but Bill Simmons has another great piece about Robert Horry over at ESPN2′s Page 2. Simmons has been upping Horry for a long time now but the Dude is so clutch that he deserves all of the attention. At the other end of the Horry-love spectrum, this [...]

I had never heard of Stars before I saw the video for “Ageless Beauty” on Subterranean back in the winter. I definitely dug that song but not so much that I had to run out and buy the album. Then I started to read some positive press about their album, “Set Yourself On Fire” and [...]

This is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet this morning. And there are plenty more of these older WWF photos if you click through that picture of Mr. Duggan. Admittedly, I haven’t gotten much surfing in so far today…

Good friend and great artist Chris Hope will have his work presented alongside such illustration luminaries as Jesse LeDoux, Jeff Kleinsmith, Tara McPherson, Modern Dog, Mark McDevitt and Robert Lee at Graphic Noise, July 28 – August 20, 2005, at the Museum of Design – Atlanta. Good work, Chris. Don’t show them up too badly.
