Dirty Drawings by a Creepy Man

Videocon was fucking awesome. I love doing events with friends (Christopher Burdett, Friends of the Institute) I had so many fun conversations. It easily trumped Geek Night in terms of geekiness (step up your game < 25 year olds). So if you were there and you stopped by to talk or hang out for a bit, hey, thank you.

This is also the first time I publicly talked about Dirty Drawings by a Creepy Man, which is a show I've been working on with Ward Henry Jr, a prolific Tallahassee artist. The term "artist" immediately breeds a misconception about Ward and what he does. He doesn't really come at his drawings with the idea that they are for anyone but himself and, frankly, that's a breath of fresh air.

The show is at The Strange Circus Gallery, Railroad Square, Tallahassee, FL on November 5th, 6pm. Ward and I will be there most of the night, so you should come by and check it out. The show has well over 300 drawings in it, so there will be plenty to take in. Plus, you'll get to talk to Ward, which is a bit of a show in and of itself.

I'm going to see if I can throw a preview gallery up sometime next week so you can see some of the work that will be in the show.

Also, there's going to be some new items in the store next week!

VIDEOCON

I'll be at Videocon at The Mary Brogran Museum of Art and Science on Saturday from 6-9pm! Videocon is, in their words,

"an event showcasing VIDEOTOPIA: The Past, Present and Future of Video Game Technology. This exhibit contains over 40 hands-on authentic video arcade games spanning a 30 year time period and is the only accurate exploration of the art, science and history behind video games."

My buds over at the Friends of the Institute will be there; they hand-screened a drawing of mine, so hopefully we'll have those for sale.

There is also a totally RIGHTEOUS band called Powerplant playing. Seriously, they are quite good. You can snag their album at that link I just dropped right there in that last sentence.

Anyway, it's $5 for students and $10 for nonstudents. Hope to see you there!

Let's make some comics!

So, I'm going to be teaching this class at Florida State University in Spring of 2011.

There are 18 seats available (registration opens Monday morning).

If you go to FSU and you're itching to make some comics, I suggest you pop into this class BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WILL BE DOING.

Right now it's labeled "Graphic Novels and Animation," but that should be fixed by tomorrow AM.

Aw, hell man, spitter goo.

Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been working on a couple things I can't talk about yet. :\ 

Also I've reignited my love affair with the zombie- killin' video game Left 4 Dead 2. These video game things are really somethin'.
