Dig Dug/Warriors Parody


Through Dean Haspiel's facebook, I realized that my favorite video game character is turning 30. I still play Dig Dug on a "plug-n-play" console that connects directly to my teevee. Joannie's kids got it for me for Christmas. I'm not too much into new video games. Too complicated with all the buttons and whatnot. I can't properly zone out. Anyways, after I saw they are celebrating Dig Dug's birthday over at ShiftyLooks in comics form, I decided to finish this old drawing I had of Dig Dug screaming Cyrus' famous line from the Warriors. Initially, it was supposed to be a t-shirt design, but I didn't think it would resonate with the younger audience.

Nonetheless, glad I finished it. It was fun. I love playing Dig Dug. And it has been a while since I did a drawing just to be doing a drawing.

Jeffro's Los Pollos Hermanos-inspired Tee on Teefury - 1/19/12


On Thursday, January 19, 2012, Teefury will have a shirt up for sale that I co-designed with my buddy Mike Giacopetti. The shirt is inspired by Breaking Bad, a show on AMC we both watch and enjoy. If you've seen the show, you'll get the chicken joke - both how it parodies the restaurant and how it depicts the behavior of the main characters in the show from last season.

If you are interested in purchasing the shirt (for the low lo cost of only $10), PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Harrow's Security Shirt up on Teefury - Dec. 5 Only


Hey, Autumn Society Members - just wanted to drop some Teefury news...

I am a big fan of old-tymie things. I was really happy last year when I saw HBO had a show coming out about Atlantic City in the 1920's. The show has so many things I like. Scorsese is involved Buscemi is the lead. Who doesn't love that guy?. Plus all the sets, cars, suits, characters, music - this show is full of awesome stuff from my grandparents' heyday, when I would have preferred to live.

The one thing that really surprised me though was Richard Harrow's character. This lonely Phantom of the Opera/Slingblade type war hero took me by surprise and has turned out to be my favorite character in the show. He's that rogue, badass guy, kind of like Rorschach in Watchmen. I find these types of characters really interesting, and feel like they take stories in unexpected directions. Anyways, that's the inspiration behind this shirt design. I used old fashioned text, art-deco 1920's stuff. My buddy Mark suggested the light bulbs around the bottom text, like a marquee. I thought that was a nice touch.

Anyways, the shirt is for sale one day only, December 5, for $10 bucks on Teefury.com.

Easy Night

My contribution to the Turtles show. Unfortunately, my hard drive crashed while I was making a scan of it, so you can't really see the tones. I did this on Grafix Duoshade paper, the same paper that Eastman and Laird used for the original comics. Years ago, I emailed Peter Laird to ask him how they did it and he tipped me off about the Grafix paper and where to get it. He said old tymie newspaper comic artists used it for their shades, because the dots and lines reproduce well on newsprint. There is a chemical embedded in the paper, and when you paint over it with the shading developer, it brings out your tones. The paper is being discontinued, so I stocked up on a bunch last year. Shame of it is, I have to use it soon, because the developer evaporates and dries out - even when capped tight in the jar.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to use it appropriately in this Ninja Turtles tribute show. I think I was too old to really appreciate the teevee cartoons or movies. I was in 7th grade when the show hit, and I never really liked all the "Cowabunga Pizza Time" stuff. But I still love those early comic books. They were a movement in independent comics. They showed me as a kid that I could make my own comics if I wanted. Plus Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird played a huge part in the Creator's Bill of Rights. Furthermore, Laird gives a lot of money every year to self-publishing comics creators through the Xeric Foundation. Good dudes.
