In celebration of my aunt’s 60th birthday, friends and family put together a little book for her. This was my contribution. It’s also one of the fastest illustrations I ever made—make that the fastest—on account of some very short notice I was given. I credit my wife for the concept behind the drawing.

Not bad for 60, huh?

Gave this drawing of Zot! to Scott McCloud when I saw him on Free Comic Book Day at Green Brain Comics.

This kind of stuff confuses me as much as it angers me. I know it’s been going around for awhile but it shouldn’t be old news until it stops.

Also see this page. I had to participate because it reminded me so much of this drawing I made 2 years ago. (Not that I’m accusing anyone of art theft )

Another urban artwork just a short walk from my home. This one is found next to the bird graffiti, below.

Could the yellow “666″ on the block of masonry be the artist’s signature?

I like graffiti when it’s an image, not just a tag. It can brighten up an otherwise ugly or boring part of town. This one, by an unknown artist, started as a bird, and the cassette (mixtape?) was added later, probably to cover up someone else’s tag.

I particularly like how the bird’s foot extends onto the sidewalk.

In keeping with the recent trend of blogging about art that ISN’T mine; some cool graffiti that was just a short walk from my home. Sadly the powers that be decided a white square would look more attractive in that spot.

I recently bought this piece of golden age art from the Iger shop. The artist might be Klaus Nordling or Jack Kamen or someone else. It’s a page from an issue of the National Comics publication Kid Dixon, from some time in the 1940s.

I especially like the expressionistic frames and the wonderful large face drawn with fine lines and a thick outline. If anyone knows what issue this came from, or what artist drew it for sure, please contact me.

UPDATE: After some research, this looks very much like Jack Kamen’s work in the Inspector Dayton comic strip.

I helped create this software synth which is now released for the Zeta operating system: ObjektSynth.

I also designed the logo

Not bad for 1996.

Based this on a 1960s Jack Kirby drawing inked by Joe Sinnott. I supposed I should mention Silver Surfer is copyright and TM Marvel Comics.
