new dirty dish comic
for notion magazine. some of these characters might look familiar. I'm trying to bridge the gap between my dirty dish comics and summer of 7-eleven so they'll all fit nicely in a book together one day. look out for summer of 7-eleven part II sometime in early 2009!

uncommon loon awards
recently finished a bunch of illustrations for minnesota monthly
celebrating minnesota's best "loons" of 2008, including a middle aged housewife that pretended to be in high school so she could join the cheerleading squad and a guy that broke into someone's house and poured bbq sauce all over himself.
briefs encounter
this guy robbed a mini-mart and stripped down to his underwear before trying to escape on a crappy mountain bike.

TYPHON UPDATE
I got my copy of TYPHON#1 (comics anthology for which I contributed a story about working at 7-11) and it's fantastic!! Great new work by killer underground cartoonists.
Get your copy today or check out some of these reviews:
Whereas current acclaimed anthologies like Mome and the Best American Comics line have a decided emphasis on narrative and literary asperations, Typhon interests lie much more with the surreal, grotesque, distrurbing, or just smart-alecky though rarely at the expense of craft.

The book is incredible and the show - written by David Simon & Ed Burns - stays fairly true to the original material.

nauseating illustrations
from the Philadelphia Weekly letters page:
To Steven Wells on a recent On the Radar column:
"Thank you for another breezy, uninformative rant against religious fundamentalists. We get it: They suck. They’re child fuckers. They believe in ghosts. They think the world was created by magic.
I hate those groups, and I still can’t stand your weekly diatribe.. Your same take on the world is published on the same page of PW, accompanied by the same nauseating illustrations every week."
Thank god somebody finally noticed! I've been drawing Belle & Sebastian being mutilated, Morrissey as a Nazi, Rudolph Giuliani sucking a Cheesesteak through a Glory Hole, for going on 3 years now without so much as 1 lawyer letter or even an angry email.
