I recently created this dude. His name is Beardo Strange. I’m still developing him and he’ll probablly look stranger than this but for now, here is Beardo as a rough draft. Enjoy.

FRIDAY ART: Beardo Strange
Friday, July 17th, 2009FRIDAY ART: Black Cock Rising
Friday, July 3rd, 2009I’m back!! The last 2 weeks have been pretty hectic. We moved to east 6th street and we are loving it! Now, i’m ready to share some work with you.
My friend and amazing artist, Jeremy Burks, told me about a call for art that local Austin band Black Cock put out in order to get some art on the walls of The Mohawk for a music/art show they will be hosting there in a few days. Thank you Jeremy!
Here is what I made with acrylics and spray paint on a wood panel:

FRIDAY ART: Chubby Dude
Friday, June 5th, 2009Here is a chubby dude I was pretty happy with. My favorite drawings are the ones I make with my trusty lumber crayon.
FRIDAY ART: Take that television!!
Friday, May 29th, 2009I made this comic strip today. To make it look like I wasn’t showing you guys ANOTHER undeveloped sketch I gave it this sweet old vignette look. Did I fool ya? I may just develop this and submit it to some comic strip jury somewhere… or… I may just forget.
Make more, consume less.
Also, I’ve been pretty busy but have finished a few more sheets of letters I’ll post them when I get a chance. For now check out my buddy Ramsey’s sweet lettering here. If that’s not enough check out this sweet pinstripe lettering action by House Industries. THAT is how lettering is done. Happy Friday!!
FRIDAY ART: To the alley
Friday, May 22nd, 2009Here’s a drawing I did today. I want to actually develop this one. I just got some new gouache paints that I’m really excited to use so we’ll see how that goes.
FRIDAY ART: Birdwhale Stickers
Friday, May 8th, 2009I SHOULD be posting stuff I do everyday, but I’m not. Hopefully this new “Friday Art” thing will get me to post more. My buddy Daniel gave me these post office labels and I drew on them… Now I will beautify the city with them.

Ariel Erestingcol’s Cewebrities Show
Friday, May 1st, 2009
My buddy Ariel Erestingcol just had an art show in Los Angeles. Ariel is a unique dude with tons of creativity and awesome theories about art and beyond. I wish I could have made it out to his opening but I could not. So, really, I can’t write about his show. However, the great Arlo Eisenberg, creator of streetwear line GOST , gives a great little review right over here.
And for his subject matter he chose people (and animals) who have achieved some measure of fame, dubious or otherwise, through the internet. Hence the name of the show, “CeWEBrities.”
Congratulations Ariel. The work looks great! The show runs through May 30th at the Sabina Lee Gallery.
Artist Jeremy Burks
Monday, April 27th, 2009My good friend Jeremy recently participated in a group show over the easter weekend. The show was titled Biblical Proportions and was split up into two nights. Friday night (the night Jeremy’s opening was) was the old testament show and Saturday was the new testament opening.
The artists were to take any part of the bible, within their chosen testament, and transform it into a piece of art. Jeremy chose the Death of Sisera which resides in the book of Judges.
Pretty eerie stuff.
Jeremy just got his site up and you can follow along here: www.jeremyburksart.com. I’m excited to see what else he comes up with.
New Hat
Friday, April 24th, 2009I was looking around at a thrift store in Round Rock recently when I found a brand new Rusty hat for $4.
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.
Pink acrylic paint with black and brown sharpies.
Now I have a fun MONster trying to nibble at my ear, while whispering things that just don’t make sense all day long.
New Old drawing
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009I’ve let resistance run things for a while but I’m back now. Here’s a new drawing.
