Somebody's broken heart

Yo!  How are you all?  Having a good summer?  I'm taking advantage of Portland's GORGEOUS but brief summer months over here.  Getting outside, doing some summer reading, eating lots of fresh vegetables...it's a total treat.  I saw two great movies this week: A Cat in Paris and Safety Not Guaranteed.  Both good but the latter, in particular, I highly recommend.  Don't read anything about it--just go!

Here's some recent artwork: 

First off, a Korra fan art collaboration with Grace Allison.  I penciled this, Grace inked it and flatted the digital file, and I finished up the colors.  We're doing another piece where our roles are the reverse, and I'll post that as soon as it's complete.

Next, some Lilo & Stitch / Wall-E fan art for a friend:

And last but not least, I posted a preview of this poster in early 2012, but I don't think I ever posted the full thing!  This was for a performance of The Thrilling Adventure Hour that included the Hypercattle Overdrive episode of Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars.  I've plugged it here before, but if this is your first time reading about it, let me say that the whole thing is hilarious and awesome and you should start from the beginning if at all possible (all of the episodes are free on iTunes).

As beautiful as comet bugs in jars

I drew this poster in December for The Thrilling Adventure Hour, that AWESOME, HILARIOUS PODCAST you either are or should be listening to. Sparks Nevada is my favorite segment, but there are tons of great ones like Beyond Belief, Captain Laserbeam!, The Cross-Time Adventures of Colonel Tick-Tock, Amelia Earhart Fearless Flyer, Jefferson Reid Ace American, and Down in Moonshine Holler. Give it a listen! I recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through so you get the inside jokes.

He rights the outlaw wrongs on Mars

My studiomate Dustin Weaver introduced me to The Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast last week. It is "a staged production in the style of old-time radio" and it is absolutely hilarious. There are a lot of great segments on the show, but Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars is by far my favorite. I overcame my podcast ineptitude to download and listen to everything currently available. Naturally, here is some fan art:



There are several hours' worth of material available on iTunes. Go! Listen! And people have made some pretty awesome art for the show that you should check out.
