Wrestlemania 31 Icons

I made a little “booklet of warning” as part of a proposal to my wife. Working in black and white with screentone was different and fun for me. Bound this little book with a glued spine and the help of an archivists toolkit (see: bone folding tool). 

Closeup of a poster I have at the printer's. Proof, then the whole shebang. Prints of this available soon.

I have a new project in mind of some superheroes ordering drinks at a bar.  I plan on making this one in real life if you get me, and framing it all up.  This is a rough sketch of the Batman progression.

I needed to make a Down For Maintenance page, which isn’t a fun thing, so I made a fun one. I like everyone’s pants and hair situation here.

Doing some hand-drawn animation test stuff and decided to use some of my favorite characters. Here's Abe having a spotlight swung onto him, getting spooked, and getting pretty upset.  Check out my fancy blog for an outtake.

A ghost story of a playlist for the spookiest month. And a skull floating in an ocean listening to music on bone headphones?

MOVIE POSTER

Big holiday gift for my girlfriend this year was my own rendition of a movie poster for Jacques Demy’s lovely Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Really pleased with how it came out and made me work really big - final was 27x40 inches. Also really forced me to come up with a script I liked and could duplicate across several signatures. Liked it so much I hope that jaggedy cursive can be my own. 

New mix folks! As usual, 10 great tracks of soul, some sweeping, some banging, all quite right. Enjoy!

I've recently been turned on to scoring baseball games. It involves intricate note-taking, pens and attention to detail (i.e. just the right thing for me.) I was a bit stressed though, having to use the provided scoresheet in the program. It was too small to allow for any flourishes of the pen whatsoever and did not keep track of how many hot dogs and beer I consumed or how many high-fives I gave out or got. This is why I chose to make my own.

Not to mince words - this is the Cadillac of scoresheets. Each team has two 8.5x11 sheets of luxurious score-keeping real estate. I've added in special marks too, like whether a pitcher is a lefty or righty, an icon for pitcher change (oh so important to note to keep accurate pitcher stats), and most importantly, a wonderfully large at-bat cell, with room to draw hit trajectories and cleanly label out sequences. If you don't really care about size, you can always look to the wonderful Eephus League package, but I needed a bit more room and details.
