VVhat??

I made a short comic for my friend Ben's birthday card using characters that he uses in the comics that he writes. These are just two panels from the epic saga. Read on as we follow the drama of W=VV Man (He has no concept of the letter W). Read some of Ben's original comics and check out his art at summer2005comics.blogspot.com



All is not well in the world of summer 2005 comics!

Of Mermaids and Greeting Cards

And here's what I promise will be the very last post related to my installation. This was the final sketch of the mermaid centerpiece before I made a giant version. I'm hoping to turn it into a greeting card.

At Long Last : Window Installation at Tender Loving Empire

I know I'm about a month late on this one but I finally got around to editing the photos from my window installation at Tender Loving Empire which is STILL UP in downtown Portland and available to be viewed.

For those of you who don't live here or are just too lazy to go down there here are some pictures of the whole shebang.


The scene from the sidewalk.


Figure one: SEA CREATURE


Figure Two: Mermaid


Figure Three : Ship


Base Detail 1


Base Detail 2


Base Detail 3


Part of the purpose of the art is to help sell their locally made merchandise, so Stephanie and I picked out as many nautical themed pieces as we could find. This treasure box worked perfectly.


As did this creature.


Close up of the Sea Creature. I really wanted there to be 4 tentacles, but time only allowed for 3. The detail in his mouth nearly killed me.


Definitely the most difficult one to cut out.


What map is complete without a compass?


And of course a friendly greeting.


This was one of my favorites.


Some more of the merch we're hawking.



And that's it! I think it's going to be up for a few more weeks so make sure to head down to Tender Loving Empire at 412 Southwest 10th Avenue, just a block and a half south of Powell's!
