Autumn Society's 80s Pop Show in Brazil!!!!

The amazing Brazilian Illustrator Carlos Araujo just e-mailed me that the popular Brazilian website "Universo HQ" has written a nice write up on our 80s Pop Show!

And here is a quick translation by Carlos:

"Thundercats, Ninja Turtles, Uncle Scrooge (Ducktales) and other characters from comics, animation, games are the stars of an exhibition of paintings and drawings of the Autumn Society, a group of artists from the United States.
The exhibition debut today in Philadelphia.
Those outside U.S. can visit the blog of AS and take a look at some of the works where the artists lend their personal views on some of the icons that marked the childhood or adolescence of many fans."

Thanks again to Carlos Araujo, please check out his illustration work and his latest "Scifi Extravaganza" on his website below:

AfterLife is now Online! (for a short while)

Okay folks! Here is the promised film! It should work, sound and video are all there ... after trying way too many times.

For all of you who don't know- this is my senior thesis film for UARTS, completed on May 14. "completed" I should say. There are some mistakes, continuity errors, and etc that are in the process of being resolved so I can feel a mite bit better about the peice.

The film was hand done-"traditional" 2D- on 1's and 2's mostly, so roughly 5k is drawings i'll say. This piece was an awesome learning experience.

Comments, critiques, mudslinging welcome =P har har har.

80's Pop Show Opening

The wall before the opening @6pm

Hey guys, I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who submitted work to the show and for all of those who helped make our show another great success. This show had an even better turn out than our last ones and I can tell this trend will continue with every show following. With nearly 70 pieces in this show, I know we will only get bigger and better from this point on and personally am looking forward to seeing more of the awesome contributions in the future.

*A special thanks to Matt Cavanaugh and his sister for taking Joe's place setting up and managing sales and prints*

I'll keep it short and sweet on that note... here are a few photos I took during the show last night:

Rob and Brian, thanks for all the help, guys!

The Philadelphia Ghostbusters arrived after the weather cleared up, yes!

That's right, you point at the art and you admire it. Admire it, damn you!

A thanks out to Matt for taking video footage of the show!

The crowd.

Sorry you couldn't be there for it, Joe! As always, thanks for taking the reigns and taking charge of things!

Thanks to everyone who came out and checked out the show despite the weather, you exceeded our expectations!

See you all next month for the Golden Age show!

more iPhone junk!

Hey all you cool cats, here 's a couple of more projects I've been working on for Tapjoy, a small group of folks making some iPhone apps that are becoming pretty popular. These are scratch-and-win cards, not unlike those you'd find for a buck or two at a gas station or shady truck stop on the highway. They're meant to be seen on the iPhone's nice li'l screen, but I've uploaded them slightly larger.






The first project I did for them was the splash screen for their free game Tap Defense, which I have to confess is crazy-addictive! You can see that piece on my blog or download the app here. If you have one of those spiffy phones then I'm sure you know the drill. It looks really nice on the tiny, crisp iPhone screen!

All the new work is amazing!! It's great to see everyone's work transform and progress over the past few years. I'm getting off of my lazy bum after my recent move to the West Coast and hope to share some more stuff with y'all and get involved in these awesome shows.

Ciao for now!

TRANSFORMERS IMAX

Here is my submission for the Transformers show! I'm in NY but will definitely shoot to watch it at the IMAX in PHILLY.

Bumblebee is my favorite and was one of my favorite toys. There is just something about those classic toy packages that brings a tear to my eye...

Who can't resist drawing a famous 90's indie rocker?

Phone Home

Though it's being posted a little late, here's my piece for the 80's show, "E.T." I was terrified of the movie E. T. when I was younger so it's kind of ironic that I chose to do this, but I really had fun drawing him. Can't wait to see the show Friday!

off topic, but noteworthy nonetheless

once in a while i joke about wanting to open up a storefront and call the place "$#it I Think is Cool", and THEN fill it with nothing but just that.

well a good friend of mine, Mr. Steve Fawley, did just that a while back with a blog i invite you all to check out:

The Rough Gentleman

among many other things, you will see amazing old musical performances, wild interviews covering a range of topics, penguin sci-fi book cover collections, hubble telescope pics, the history of skate shoes, and a dude whose best man at his wedding was a bear. there is absolutely nothing about what Steve had for dinner that night

so pour yourself a glass of whiskey, be prepared to lose an hour or three, and be sure to post a comment and say hello while you're there

thanks!

Alf Saves The Golden Girls!

You may know by now- I lost my large version of The Golden Girls forever... I was all set for the 80's themed show and I overwrote the large file. But still having a small version of it, I decided to incorporate it into a new piece. So here's what I think Alf is up to today, he's getting old but still as much fun!

Chewbacck Obama and some Munnys

Here's a bunch of stuff I've done over the past few weeks:This was a dumb idea I had, more so just the name Chewbacck Obama, popped in my head for some reason. In order to get it out of my brain I drew this up and stenciled it on a 8"x10" canvas board.

Here's a Munny I made as a gift to my tattoo artist who's been hooking me up w/ some sweet free tattoos over the past few months. I wanted it to look like an old timey strong man w/a sweet mustache (made of craft foam). I gave him traditional styled tattoos which I drew on with Sharpies. Here's what he looks like from all angles.

This is a Mini Munny body which I attached a TV accessory from a regular sized Munny. The basic concept is "TV rots your brain." The Munny body was pink, and I masked out a brain pattern and then sprayed the whole thing red. The TV screen I painted w/ a textured gray to look like static.

This is a flyer for a show my new band BLOODTYPE is playing. It's the same day as the 80's show unfortunately. If anybody's gonna be in the area and wants to see me sing in a band, this would be your chance.

There Will Be Duck

It's for the 80's show.

It was really hard to decide what to do, but I thought that at least one of the old disney afternoon characters had to be represented. (I know he wasn't created in the 80's but Ducktales is the era I'll remember him best from).

Thundercats HOooooo!!!!!!

Just for fun!

Golden Age Hero : Popeye

Dude really is a superfreak of nature.

Not sure if this one is done, coming, or going. Based on a whole bunch of portraits I sketched out of cartoon characters as 'real' people. For the record, they all make really, really ugly people. I also wanted to break out of the series of cartoony evil portraits I've been doing, so thanks for the 'Hero' theme.

I took the 'golden' thing literally.
