Standees stand up!

So after much trial and error, I've constructed a pair of point-of-purchase (POP) display standees of Hoogie and Stiff. Here's a few more pics:





These bad-boys were made with an illustrator file to be 32" x 40", and then printed out in tiles. Using 3M-brand PMA (position-able mounting adhesive), I assembled it on a 32" x 40" foam-core board, and then cut the shape out. It took a while, and I had to rely on some acrylic and a sharpie to cover-up some smudges, but I feel they came out very well. Getting the idea across with ones sweat and tears, the callouses on ones hands a testament to the true grit of the go-get-em-tiger attitude that won the war and ensured two chickens in every pot, etc.


DRINK LINENDOLL'S BEER! It's good!



Here's a photo of my workspace. It's a little dirty right now, but I've been busy! Observant viewers might notice the Epson Workforce 600 I agonized over over last summer. It's neat.

OH! Before I forget, muchos gracias to Will Dinski, whom borrowed me the tripod I used for the pictures that include me in them. Will has studio space in the same building as me, and does really neat comics. Google this guy!

TTYL!

LEGO USSR 11

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, prolific Russian writer, was among the first to tell the world about the Gulags in Siberia. While speaking out against the USSR, he was not in favor of democracy as an alternative, as the Russian character is theoretically not suitable for Western-style republicanism. He died a few years ago.



Happy Halloween! Tomorrow, Nikki and I are going to a Halloween/Birthday party as Steam-Punk Pirates. I'll post pics soon after. Our costumes are pretty awesome.



Jp, his girlfriend Megan, and I've taken the plunge and bought studio space at the Steven's Square Center for the Arts, a Minneapolis arts organization. Rent's reasonable, distance not outrageous, and what I'm excited about is a space where if I get the floor a little messy, it won't be a big deal. I'm hoping to get back into painting and charcoal drawing!

TTYL!
