Also new this year is our new store hosted by BigCartel. We’ll be updating our ol’ Etsy store with the same items for those of you that like to hang out over there. I’ll be posting different things in the stores real soon aside from tees, like drawings, zines, etc… eh, hopefully.

What I’m most excited about for this new year is my new art studio. It’s run by the fine folks at Okay Mountain. It’s right around the corner from home. I plan on being there daily, though this first week back from the long, laaaazy break was a little more demanding than I had hoped, stifling my chances to be studio bound daily. I did make it down there one evening to organize some materials, coat some panels, and draw these dudes.

So far we’re off to a great start to a new year over here at casa Muñoz. Here’s a new year and lots of drawing, making, and loving.

Cheers.

I was pleased with this drawing and proceeded to Ink it up and make it clean, but it was losing all it’s magic. I’ve mentioned before that I am a fan of pencil sketches over the finished black lined drawings. There is something so honest about pencil drawings. So, what I did was just blow up my sketch to 3 feet and painted right over the black and white copy. Here is what that looks like.

Here is a picture of my daughter standing next to Bigote Brown.

Bigote Brown will be wheatpasted on the side of the museum next to the skulls of 6 other artists. Come out to the Viva La Vida Fest, celebrating dia de los muertos, tomorrow in Downtown Austin to check it all out.

I really liked the hat but it had a big, obnoxious, rusty label on the side that I wasn’t thrilled about.

My initial plan was to cut the label out but I ended up leaving it and using the holes as fun MONster eyes.

Now I have a fun MONster trying to nibble at my ear, while whispering things that just don’t make sense all day long.

The exhibit runs through January 4th.

Also Thursday night is the release of Three (which I am also in). What is Three you ask? Here is Mason of The Screamer Company to explain it:

MASON – “The Screamer Company invites you to celebrate the launch of our newest publication – THREE. Come to our office First Thursday, December 4th, 6 – 10 PM to pick up your copy. Orf Brewing will be sponsoring the party and we’ll have live music and art for your enjoyment.”

And here I though three was just a number between two and four.

Here are pictures of the four pieces in the show

and here we are the night of the opening. Giselle was a Private I, Chamila was Rosie the Riveter, and I actually didn’t dress up.

The shows run through December 5th. If you’re in Austin this weekend for the East Austin Studio Tour, be sure to swing by Domy, as they are on the tour, to check out all these scary creatures up close.

Here are more Austin monsters and here are more Houston monsters.
