This Wordpress blog is all broken and sucks.
You can’t see the comments, and I set up the database wrong so I can’t upgrade to the new version. Wordpress is rad for other people. I have surrendered and gone to the Wal-Mart of blog platforms, Blogger.
And guess what? It’s awesome.
The first 18 months of crap will be archived/frozen in time here.
Sloppy brush of G Rider in the book.

I hate washing out the brush, so I don’t use it enough– it’s good fun.

Drawing for Rory’s new book. You HAVE to do it now man ;-)
Also, The Sword’s new record, Gods of the Earth, hits shops on April first. Hear one of the new tracks on their Myspace page, LINK: Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians. Totally RAWKS. I’ve been waiting for this record for ever. Plus, they’re in PHX on the 16th.
Also, under the “Swords and Rawks” category, the awesome metal track of the month is “Steel of my Axe” by a band with a very similar name, DoomSword. LINK. Adding “doom” to anything adds at least 34% more awesome, so hats of to these guys from Ireland and Italy.
I would buy this record in a second, except the track, “Heathen Assault” made me laugh out loud. But rest assured, Steel of my Axe will have you singing to the dirty skull in your raised hand like Macbeth.
So I guess I’ve been under a rock for 2 months. Last night I saw a commercial on TV that first aired during the Superbowl apparently.
It was for the Toyota Sequoia - A big ol’ SUV. The soundtrack is what made me cry. It was “Mongoose” by Fu Manchu.
Dogs and cats living together.
The commercial was actually pretty cool, a downhill Big Wheel race, but The Fu? Seriously? Holy shit. I’m happy they got paid I guess, but… LINK
Anyway, here’s this drawing of Black Heart Billy
Got the photos of the helicopter I designed for Stratagos Corporation… FINALLY. What’s it been? Like a year? Anyway, here’s The owner, Mark, taking a tour of the sky above Camelback Mountain and Squaw Peak. Let’s hear it for that beautiful Phoenix pollution folks!
Aaw yeah, here’s some of the collateral for the 08 CES show in Vegas. Built this medallion in Pshop and then Brad, the Wizard of Solidworks, 3-D ‘ed tha shiz so we could have it made in real-life.
Here’s the real-life version. Turned out kinda cheesy, but cool– like Vegas. This was the pass to get into Rockford’s invite only monster-bash. No bling, no entry be-otch. It made for a great take-a-away. A couple people sold theirs in the parking lot downstairs for $300. Coveted!
The party was in the Playboy Suite at The Palms. You know the one, it has the badass cantilevered pool that hangs out over the edge of the hotel.
And here’s the ID cards and reminder mailer.
The rest of the collateral had this look as well.
Turned out to be a cool project.
Lamest. Title. Ever.
New shirt design for the ‘08 technical training class. I was gonna make this bad-ass giant robot shooting lasers n’ shit, but this was way easier.
The sky-scraper super stardom of Hannah Montana is easily the most awesomely, achy-breaky revenge ever wrought. This teen queen of stage and screen has raked in a kajillion dollars and there is still no end in sight.
Ms. Montana, or as I like to call her, Hannah Ray Cyrus, is the daughter of none other than the mullet-master himself, Billy Ray.
Think about it. EVERYbody goofed on this guy.
Hundreds of thousands of people bought his record, but the tide of popularity and celebrity turns overnight and drowns many an entertainer.
Imagine the whole nation talking shit about you for years. Did Billy get all bitter and start smoking crack? Become an embarrassing drunk? Nope. He was deep in his secret underground laboratory plotting and planning his world domination.
And now your children make you stand in line for hours to pay for his revenge. Oh sure, it’s a nice revenge, a happy-fun revenge, but still ever so SWEET.
Hats off to you, Billy.
