Manwha Demon, Mmmmaybe?

Messing around with some different styles and techniques. Like trying to mimic South Korean webcomics. Ya know… being a poseur.

Me, In The Future

A robot with a computer monitor body baring a likeness of the artist's face with tubular arms and legs and a brain in a jar on top happily jaunts on the surface of an alien moon.

Sometimes you lie awake at night thinking about the state of the world and try to imagine the best possible outcome.

Alien Sport

I was recently inspired when watching a Quicksand concert on Youtube. The singer/guitarist, Walter Schreifels, was wearing a cryptic t-shirt with a bunch of crudely drawn aliens on it. After doing a little bit of snooping online for “alien art” I found the source of the drawings. They come from a book called “A Visual Guide to Alien Beings” by David W. Chace, 1996. From what I can tell the author/illustrator interpreted a bunch of accounts from people that claim to have had first encounters. It made me think of every bit of alien lore from shows like Unsolved Mysteries and tabloid covers.

So where am I going with all of this? I thought the aesthetic was cool, creepy, and goofy at the same time. I designed and illustrated a shirt for my local bike polo club based on all of this occult-ish silliness. Aliens and bike polo gear with some metalhead drip font for good measure. Making things the appropriate amount of cryptic and curious.

The “Alien Sport” shirt design comes in three different colors; black, gold, and grey. The gold and grey shirts have and slightly offset magenta and cyan color way, the black shirt has reversed white. You can order yours here today!

Awwwww-ful

Dr. Doctor M.D. is a helpful sort. Let’s look in to see how he helps out a lumpy patient. Hint: the results are “awwwww-ful”.

This is the third installment of a Birthday Street comics thread. When any of the three creators would undertake making a comic, they would start by working off of some element from the comic that preceded it. In this trio of animations (World’s Greatest Hotted-Dog, Quincy vs. Frankfurter, and now this) it follows through one small arc of those threads. Starting with anthropomorphic hotdogs, then treatment for (maybe) imagined anthropomorphic hotdogs, and finally the doctor character. 

Hotdogs And Delusions

I’ve recently been working on translating a number of Birthday Street comics into short animations. You can see all of them on the animation page of my site. Here are a pair that feature The World’s Greatest Hotdog.

The character that would become known as “The World’s Greatest Hotdog” was created by Matt Sutter (in a comic with a goofy hyphenation in its title). The “WGHD”, as I sometimes shorten it, is probably the greatest achievement of Birthday Street comic characters. Good natured, helpful, energetic, surprising, silly, and a little bit cool. Like a breakfast cereal mascot you wish was your friend. Enjoy my animated version of Matt’s comic featuring the voice talent of fellow Birthday Street creator Kevin Cornell.
Quincy is a nervous wreck, even before a chance encounter with The World’s Greatest Hotdog. Enjoy this animation (featuring my voice acting talents) based on a Birthday Street comic created by Kevin Cornell. If you’re interested in more hilarious content like this, check out the unabridged book.
