SARAH

My dear friend Sarah.


I want to draw you too. Portrait party soon?

THE BIG SWITCH

See that pretty box sitting on top of my TV? Rabbit ears sat in that very place for nearly two years. That's right people, we officially have cable television in our apartment. Having cable is already consuming my life, so don't plan on hanging out with me anytime soon. At least I've set a few rules for myself:


RIGHT, let's see how long it takes before I gain 100 pounds.

DOODLEBOOK

I got a new sketchbook for 2009. It's a Moleskine Cahier Pocket Sketchbook and it's tiny (3.5 x 5.5)! They're great for quick doodles like this:


Laurie at Oh Sushi last night / Quickly colored in photoshop this morning

She wouldn't let me draw in the face...but that's okay, I'm happy with it. I definitely plan on drawing a lot this year and posting the goods here.

NEW(ISH) ACQUISITION

I'm just now getting around to writing about the new Ikea bookshelf my mom gave me for Christmas. I definitely outgrew my last bookshelf, so I was very happy to get a new one. The creepy cats are being used as temporary bookends and the bottom shelf is mostly yearbooks and boring stuff. I'm really looking forward to filling these spaces with REAL books (ahem -- overpriced comic books) in the future. There's a little bit of room for my obsessive collection to grow now!


Please note the gigantic Kramers Ergot 7 resting atop.

Okay, you can start laughing at me now.

SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL 09

I've been enjoying me some Sundance this past week. To be honest, some of the films I saw were just OKAY. However, I did really like the film Precious. I did a quick comic about a funny moment that happened before the movie. The director Lee Daniels was on stage and wasn't quite in the spotlight...

THE BILLUMINATI BY ANJA VERDUGO

From Anja Verdugo's Etsy shop: This booklet is a collection of original illustrations: selected portraits of the members of a secret society known as the Billuminati. Inside you will find nine different portraits of some of the world's favorite Bills & Williams, from actors to presidents. This project is a combination of secret fake history, humor and art.

Bill Murray
Bill Nye the Science Guy
Bill Cosby
William H. Macy
Bill Clinton
Billy Corgan
Billy Bob Thornton
Wilfred Brimley
Billy Dee Williams

The original black & white portraits were worked on over several months and were drawn in ink on a larger format but have been compacted into a nice little 8.5 x 7" booklet that is 12 pages long.
