Yesterday, Comics Alliance Posted One Of The Friendliest Reviews Of My Work I've Yet Read. You Can Read

SPX COMETH!

Check this oouuuuttt...

Here's "Ugs, Fugs and Grossos", 28 pages of ug-ass mugs, fug-ass fugs, and gross-ass grossos; and "Executioner and Friend", dungeons, dragons, and dick jokes, each by Jimmy Giegerich.

"Heroical #1" is an 11" X 14" zine by David Plunkert chock full of weirdo super hero stuff, and playfully off-beat heros.

The very exciting "Fantasy Basketball" by Sam Bosma will be in the mix as well and it's sure to be mind-blowingly good.

Alex Fine is debuting "Il Bruto", a hilarious collection of Charles Bronson pin ups in classic action movie rolls.

"Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri & Familiars Arcane" by yours truly will be there of course!

Two new comics from Haleigh Buck of Hey Boy Comics will be debuting as well: "Herman the Hot Dog" and "Internet Diarrhea", sure to be goofy-as-hell, wildly inappropriate, and full of schadenfreude.

Last but not least, Kali Ciesemier will be selling some gorgeous prints of her work that are not to be missed!

That's what we got for you guys! Come to tables M5-M8 to get your hands on it all! We'll see you there, pals.

Some ghosts I drew while at Artscape.  One of them is a little ghost pet.

The radness is overflowing!!! Jimmy's inking is so excellent.

Here’s my first piece that I did for Bits in Multiples of 8 you guys!!  If you guess that I was working on an Altered Beast piece yesterday from the preview I posted, you guessed right!! I’m going to color this soon so that I can turn it into a screen printed poster, so keep you eyes peeled doods and doodettes!

A new little piece for the New York Times Op Ed about disparity in taxes, which just went up yesterday evening. I enjoy suit-guy's ape-like arms. Thanks to AD Alexandra Zsigmond. You can read the article online here.

"I'll shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle."

The Warriors. is. my. favorite. movie. of. all. time.

This is my tshirt design for another Pizza Party Printing movie night at the Ottobar here in Baltimore. On Sunday, April 28th, they'll be presenting the best movie of all time, The Warriors, along with another best movie of all time, The Road Warrior so you'd best soldier over to this one. Admission (and pizza) is free as always, and BASEBALL TEES of my design as well as regular tees of Jimmy Giegerich's utterly rad Road Warrior shirt will be on sale. SO...

Come out to playy-ayyy!

This is my piece for the Silver Screen Society's February exhibition honoring the very funny podcast "How Did This Get Made?" Artists chose one of several bad movies reviewed on the podcast by Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas and June Diane Raphael (who can make the word "disgusting" the funniest thing I've heard) and my choice, if it's not obvious, was Batman & Robin.

My little brother and I have seen this movie too many times, and it is oh so silly, and we love it. There are enough nipples sculpted into costumes that I figured I'd give everyone a chance to show theirs off. And revisiting those costumes...boy are they dumb. Mr. Freeze's get-up is one of the most convoluted, stupid things I've ever had to draw. So this was tons of fun.

Check out all the great work on Silver Screen Society's online gallery here, including Jimmy Giegerich's excellent Cool As Ice piece (which got him followed BY Vanilla Ice on Twitter! A very rad outcome). And, if you haven't already heard "How Did This Get Made?", correct that error here. You'll be better for it.

Thanks to the guys at Silver Screen for inviting me to take part!

What brand of gouache do you use? Have you tried using student-grade gouache, particularly Lefranc & Bourgeois Fine Gouache? I am always told to stay away from student grades, but I was also told that if they worked for me (color-wise), I should be fine. I am worried about "permanency", or that my gouache paintings will break down in the future.

I enjoy Winsor & Newton a lot. I've never used Lefranc & Bourgeois before, but I used Daler Rowney throughout school. (Is that considered student grade? I don't know. I still use it occasionally and I like them ok, but oh man, their yellow ochre! what happened? s'not good.) About the worst thing I've experienced with "lower-quality" gouache is that there will be more variation in how the paint dries, so that you'll get some colors that dry with an annoying semi-gloss for some reason. But my older paintings done in said "lower-quality" gouache are still holding up just fine! I think you should be good so long as you mix (mix (MIX!)) your colors, look for a nice even consistency in the pigment of your paints, and be mindful about storage. That way, your works should last you a good while!

Good luck!

A little Peruvian spice gourd I have hanging in my kitchen.  A woven net goes through the holes and inside it you put spices and aromatic things to keep the room smelling nice!

A couple new offerings for you if you're going to TCAF this weekend! @jimmygillustration and I will be at table 308, on the third floor, so come up and see us!
