NSFW- Commentary of Current Events

For historic reasons, a little context before the illustration.



British Petroleum, better known as BP, is/was a major oil company. An offshore oil rig they owned exploded, and miles and miles of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico, and is/was a major disaster.



I really don't do dirty or questionable material often. But I don't think I've seen anyone make this connection. Especially with BP's contrived system to stop the leak. If you think this is humorous, make this a meme. I'd love to see TIME magazine mention this. Or maybe Dan Savage.

Recently, this image was taken down by Photobucket. This is the second time they've done this, which is making me question how safe my work is if I want to show it off to the world. There is nothing inherently wrong with this image. It is not being used for what is usually used for (google it if you don't know, but keep in mind it is NSFW if you do)- it is a stretch if they took it down for implicit sexual reasons. It bothers me that I had to find another way to post it. So the final analysis? Second strike, Photobucket.

Logo, Somewhat NSFW illustration, and Acrylic Paint

Well, it's been about a month or so since my last post- so what have I been up to? That I can post?



Come to Wet Paint on June 6th! We're going to give away "grand-danas" and you can decorate them using Jacquard tee-juice markers! Going to be a lot of fun. I designed this year's Grandana.



This little logo was done for the Harriet Alexander Nature Center. They've got a really neat boardwalk in a large marsh, and after years of deterioration, they're finally revitalizing the boardwalk. Parts of it are VERY gnarly, and contributing some dollars to making it easier to see a thriving ecosystem is a worthwhile cause.



My friend Anna routinely asks cartoonists in the Twin Cities (and beyond) to draw her nude/naked. It doesn't matter if it's accurate at all, it's an exercise in community and fun. Here's mine. Pretty tame, but spunky!

Update: Apparently, a rather chaste drawing of a nude is too shocking for Photobucket. If they do this again, this might be the push I need to switch to Flickr. Just saying.



This project is sort of on a pause, but I think it'll be revived soon (why will be explained shortly). Noise music/found-sound music. Going to kick some ass.



This is an idea I've been playing with for a while. For a long while. I figure putting some of the development process online and public is a great way to get the job done! Here's some variations.











More on this soon.

Big news:


I'm moving to Saint Paul in June. I'm very excited about this! Have a great memorial day!

TTYL!
