Halloween Revolt

WIRED Magazine

I got the amazing opportunity to

illustrate for the new WIRED Magazine.

The article is about Tim and Eric Great Show, Awesome Job!

I've been a fan of Tim and Eric since Tom Goes To The Mayor,

so it was perfect when the Art Director called

and told me about the job and that I had to watch

all the episodes and go crazy with the illustration.

I had to do one full page title, an itty bitty illustration

(itty bitty being AD lingo), and a drop cap.

I sent in one sketch, with all the elements that I

could fit from the show. There was tons more stuff

I could have put in this illustration.

Then I cut it. Dimensional things got worked out but everything

stayed from the sketch. I'm proud of how the type looks

and all the details turned out pretty cool.

For the drop caps, I figured it would be easier

for me to just start cutting.

These are the sketches/finishes of the letter I:

They chose the furry one in a puddle of blood at the bottom.

I like how they all look laid out together.

As for the itty bitty illustration:

It was a pretty amazing job and it looks nice

in the magazine next to the picture of Eric.

Thanks to Maili Holiman for the awesome job!

Paper Wedding

Today I have the pleasure of being featured on Daily Candy.

It's an article about paper weddings, from invitations and gifts,

to guest books and favors. Sounds like an awesome wedding to me.

SPACETIME Wallpapers

Over at Kitsune Noir, he had a wallpaper contest

for his recent project for Poketo!

There are four amazing artists involved with the project:

Cody Hudson, Mike Perry, Damien Correll, and Andy Miller.

So I made a couple of cut paper wallpapers with the

hopes of winning some cool Poketo! gear (i need a new wallet.)

I didn't win but I still like my wallpapers (and still need a new wallet.)

The second wallpaper is just part of a larger, nine foot long piece.

Maybe I won the contest in some other SPACETIME continuum.

Hope you like them.

The Good 100

I got the amazing privilege to work at Good Magazine

for a few days cutting paper and meeting some really cool people.

It was a great new space with a good vibe and a ton of paper.

We were making 100 different paper sculptures

for 100 different good world issues/solutions.

There was about 25 of us just cutting and gluing to our hearts content.

I did about a dozen said sculptures.

Some of the illustrations on the cover are also

spots for the articles in the inside.

My contribution to the cover? The carrot by my thumb.

Here are the illustrations I did on the inside.

TEDx

Urban Sidewalks

White Washing

Open Source

Sports after Katrina

Meat in Bulk

It's funny to see them in the magazine because they are so small.

The steak here is actually like 14 inches long and

the football helmet is probably a foot tall.

It reminds me of Aladdin when the genie says

"Infinite cosmic power. Itty bitty living space."

I guess I'm kinda glad my paper cuts don't have infinte cosmic power.

That would be a lot of pressure.

I do think that these turned out pretty nice.

It was another awesome job with Good Magazine.

Thanks to Brian Rea and Atley Kasky for the great Art Direction.

Day Thirty: iPaper

I did it, which is pretty amazing.

There aren't too many bad ones either.

To celebrate my 30 days of creativity

I have put the monster and nature pieces

on sale for....$30. I've also reduced the shipping.

I hope you have liked these pieces as much as I liked making them.
