Minutia And Her Little Things

She's had a long day. Doing what? I haven't the slightest idea. That's for your subconscious to decide. But her trusty companions are more than capable of brightening her evening. For the zoologically unaware, those are marmosets.

From left to right they are Saffron, Chi-Chee and Saul. Saul would really appreciate it if Minutia would quit smoking. Minutia wants to but resists to spite Saul who, even for a marmoset, is kind of a jerk.

All's Well

Careful Aim

The Queen's Accusation

I love drawing on these records! Let me state that I'm not drawing just on any old records. These are only records that are virtually unlistenable, either due to condition or content. My apologies to the Bette Midler fans out there. I'm an artist not an archivalist.

CYCLOPS AND OWL SWITCH PLATES!

I'm starting to make custom switch plates. Available at Cyclops and Owl. I'd say that I'll be making them non-stop to keep up with demand but I haven't sold them yet so I'll be making them non-stop because I enjoy it. Stabitha the Valkyrie and Them Gnarly Talons. You KNOW you're light switches are boring. What the hell are you waiting for?

3 Slims Together

I never thought about them as a union but it does make me awfully happy to see them elbow to elbow.

The Frilled She-Genie and Breach

Intermission

Long hours in smokey bars and the blaring throb of the organ is relentless. Yes, it's amazing but one of them is missing the salmon run.

Bliss Listenings

Yeah. It's a family portrait.

The Imposter

The Tug-of-War Hydra

Yma strikes it rich

These are boxes Amy and I did for our friends' nintendo-themed wedding. Sooo much fun!

Crockenspiel And Her Keeper

She's like a reptilian inspired military version of Lionel Hampton...with great gams and a nice rack! This is the first of several pieces that will be done on records. Musically themed animal/human pairings. None likely to be as PUN-ishing as this one. Aiming to have them done for the Whippersnapper end-of-summer show.

Cyclops and Owl

I've opened an Etsy store here. I'm slowly listing past artworks and making new ones. Buttons will follow in short order and T-shirts as well. And so begins my quest to carve out a niche for myself on this extremely exciting marketplace.

You have some money burning a whole in your pocket? Run, don't walk, to Cyclops and Owl!

Awakening the Valkyrie Cowbell

So I made my first submission to threadless

It was for a promotion they do for different bands and other things called "threadless loves." This particular one was for the band Hot Chip. The sub-theme was "interesting use of glow ink" (hot chip's latest album is called "Made In The Dark") and all the submissions were doing mostly retarded things like designs that didn't become anything until it glowed. I've seen shirts with glow ink and I know that it has a limited strength and isn't invisible when not glowing so I didn't want to do a design that wasn't cool until it glowed. My intention was to have all white space glow. I went simple and thus secured my fate. My average ranking was 1.05 out of 5. Thanks, threadless "community." It needed to get to 1.5 to even be considered for the next part of the judging process. Oh well. I love this chick and I plan on making a shirt of it at some point.

Bitch In The Sky

Thanks to the lovely Pamela, hairstylist extraordinaire, this delightful depiction is hung prominently at GOTSTYLE, 489 King Street West Toronto. It's a menswear store of the highest order complete with spa. It is even cooler now that it has this beauty towering over it.
