Fish Out of Water (the documentary that I did the illustrations for and Alan did the animation for) just got signed with First Run Features for distribution. The DVD will be released next spring and be offered through various venues including Netflix, Amazon, Itunes, Video On Demand, as well as at various movie stores through out the country. So look for it!

It's also going to be in Chicago on Nov. 8th. (see post below) at Chicago's Reeling Film Festival. Tickets will be on sale at the Music Box on Oct. 1st. I'm really excited and I hope I'm not in South Korea yet so I can go see this. I would love for you all to see it too. It was a lot of work and I truly am proud to be a part of this film.

If you have NOT seen the trailer for some odd reason. I will post it here again for the 293rd time. Haha.

Fast Drawings.

So I drew four crappy drawings. I drew them in around 30 seconds each. And here they are.

Renegade Craft Fair

Whoa baby. Who loves non-corporatized, diy, merchandise that builds and bends a suffering generation that is obsessed with individuality? I DO!

All jokes aside. I have some great friends who will have booths at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend. This will be Goodnight TV's 39th Renegade and despite their age they are still amazing. You can check their merchandise out before you get to the craft fair and be shocked and stunned at their new stuff in person. Because it's REALITY MAAAAAAN.






















And my friends Jason and Michelle have will have their Art Reco booth at the fair as well. All of Art Reco's stuff is well thought out and very detailed oriented. I bought some buttons from them last year and couldn't bare to throw away the packaging. Art Reco says, "...We draw our inspiration from everyday life and find ways to change things that often go overlooked or taken for granted in an attempt to get people to stop and take a closer look at them." So put the damn vampire books down and look at the damn world you fools!































My friends Esther and Pat will also have their first booth at Renegade this year. They just started their own business called, Tomo House. Its looking like this is going to be pretty awesome. Esther has the best name for a blog. It's called "Pea Happy" (but if you say it out loud it could also be called "Pee Happy") and on it she says "There will be some cool things, original artwork, prints, magnets, bar mitzvahs, rascals, and you can meet my ghosties and ghostie dogs!" Ghostie Dogs? I don't know if I should be hungry, afraid or ready to go to the park. All I know is I want one.













these are magnets.

Here are some cool sayings to shout at your friends when you are at the craft fair:

All that and a bag a chips
Beeotch
The Bomb
Boo Ya!
CHA-CHING!!!
Don't go there!
Open up a can of whoop-ass
Talk to the Hand
