My buddy Randy Muñiz, who I’ve written about before, asked me if I wanted to make a skull for a mural project that he, and his friend James, are putting together at the Mexic-arte museum. I said, “sure” and then I drew this.
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.

Here’s a sailor man I doodled up.
Have I ever told you guys that I dressed up as a gay sailor for Halloween last year? I won the grand prize at work AND I got second place at Mr. Natural’s halloween costume contest.
Here’s picture taken at Domy Books of myself with my beautiful wife and my confused daughter.

I 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!!

My 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.

Who is Matthew Rodriguez?
He was very friendly early on in our transition from California to Austin. Matthew has quickly become one of my favorite artists and favorite people altogether. He makes awesome artwork and is arguably one of the biggest artists coming out of Texas. All of you people living on the west coast should stop by and say hello and take your friends and take him a tall boy of sparks and ask him about Africahhhh. He’s basically my brother from another mother.

Juxtapoz wrote about the show here.
“The arts show is going to be a collection of paintings and mixed media telling stories about hoodlum street animals, fed up plants, stray animals, tiny chandeliers, the great pacific trash pile, the environment’s big problem, bling, and stories told by my grandpa,” Rodriguez told us.
