Back from Comic Con!

Just got back yesterday from the San Diego Comic Con and had a great time. This was the third year of exhibiting and its always an amazing experience. Kyle and I collaborated again and put together a follow up to the Children's book we did last year. We weren't going to do Tshirts again this year but at the very last minute (literally days before the con) we got the bug to do some. It was so last minute that we had these delivered to us on Thursday at the Con. These must have been printed in the span of two days.


Kyle had brought his T-shirt that he had debuted at the LA Myth art show. His robot transforming taco truck was a crowd favorite. Wouldn't this be an awesome toy?
This year Kyle got together with the inspiring and talented Frank Rocco and they put out their comic book, Rock Paper Scissors. This has got to be one of the funniest comic books I've read in awhile. One person liked it so much she came back and bought a second copy for her brother.
Last but not least our boothmate, James Burks was previewing his book which is set to be published by Yen press. His book should be available in all the big bookstore chains next year. This is the full length story of his charming Gabby and Gator paperback that he's been selling at the Con for the last three years.
More Comic Con wrap up to come...

Sketches from last Comic Con

I was looking in my sketchbook and saw these doodles that I did while sitting at the table at last year's comic con. If you look in the upper left hand corner, you'll see a character from a super secret project that Kyle is working on. What? Your not good at keeping secrets? Well "U Can" says you can!

Bad Cops, Bad Cops.

The Neswald and I are working on another children's book. Its true. I wouldn't make that sort of stuff up. To prove I'm not a tall tail yammerin disco hooha- Here's some ideas for the cops that are in the story. Hopefully I can keep postin regularly.

HearSee on G4

Hey y'all,  

Attack of the Show on the G4 cable station just did a piece on digital graffiti.  In it they interviewed my friend HearSee about his digital art display. HearSee comes in at about 1:20.  

I previously had blogged about HearSee because I had cut a promo piece for him here: HearSee

Check out his youtube channel and see the cool things people do on his installation: HearSee Youtube

Robot Dreams

So last thursday for the Downtown LA artwalk Kyle and I had a video installation showing at the Spring Arts Collective.  It was great.  We had two projections showing experimental short films that Kyle and I made.  Kyle made a zoetrope of himself doing the robot.  It was crazy.  A ton of people came in and saw the piece.  Here's an example of one of my shorts:
