I have seriously been neglecting my cartooning in lieu of painting, but I’ve been having a blast. I just finished this in acryllic, ink and colored pencil. I really love those old Ed “Big Daddy” Roth drawings of Rat Fink and those nasty, flame-spitting hot rods. I’ve also accepted the fact that, dammit, I like drawing eyeballs! So why should I deny my passion, eh? Why not just paint one of those big, ugly, suckers smack dab in the middle of the canvas and go from there? Hot Rods and Eyeballs! It turned out a tad busy for my tastes with that abstract background, but lesson learned for next time. Close enough for rock and roll! Back to the cartoons!

This is a new painting I’ve been working on. I’ve been knocking myself out with a lot of minute detail on this one. Maul of Amerika; I guess my wife’s crazy rants about consumerism have been rubbing off on me. (Incidentally, she doesn’t mind me saying she’s a crazy person, as long as I don’t post a photo of her along with the statement that she is a crazy person.) Let’s start with the “full monty”, shall we? This is about the size of a movie poster.

It’s done in acryllic, ink, and colored pencil on corrugated cardboard. This is the third painting I’ve done in this style, but the other ones weren’t quite as involved. Here’s some close-up detail.

So, yeah, you get the gist of it…capitalism is inherently evil. Consumerism will ultimately destroy us all. It’s a beautiful world, isn’t it? I try not to be too message heavy— let’s all just try to help one another stay afloat!

With the theatrical release date of the much-anticipated Iron Man 2 movie looming just ahead, I’m currently working on the HUSTLER magazine adaptation. This is the sequel to my June 2008 HUSTLER parody, Iron Balls! As you can see, this one is called Iron Balls Too! Ahem, thank you very much. You may now go about your business.

Some stuff that was published in Hustler Humor as well as the Gross Gags book Kit Lively and I self-published.

Just having a little photo manipulation fun! Great article on Warhol Inc. in the November edition of Art News, by the way. The art, the market…the Brillo boxes. Inspiring stuff!

Not sure what this is supposed to be exactly! Ha ha…I just felt like drawing some new characters and this is what came out! Just a little art excercise I guess. Dig that gorked-out teacher and the Harvey-cartoon-style-schoolgirls!
