Garry with two “r”s

This is a drawing I did a while ago while my girlfriend and I were watching Toy Story 3.
Today I colored it and named him Garry with two “r”s.

Christopher’s Restaurant

So as luck would have it my absolute favorite restaurant on the planet is only two doors down from the store where I work. I usually end up eating there 4-6 times a week. Every week. It’s that good.

But anyway, a couple of weeks ago a toddler accidentally knocked a chair into their giant picture window and caused it to shatter. They replaced the broken window with plywood that night and the following afternoon the owner of the restaurant asked me to do a painting on it. I tried to explain to him that I’m more of a pencils and pens kind of guy but he said anything would be better than the eyesore they had now.

Well the window has since been replaced but here’s a photo of my painting (incidentally it’s the largest piece of artwork I’ve ever done) that was up there for about a week. And just so’s you knows Christopher’s Restaurant (which has lots of great vegetarian and vegan friendly meals) is located at 2318 E. Dorothy Lane at the corner of Dorothy and Woodman in Kettering, Ohio. If you’re in the area definitely check them out (I recommend their amazing veggie biscuits and gravy for breakfast)!

Postscript

If you like comics about super heroes but are willing to think outside the box a little on what a superhero comic can be then Joe Grunenwald’s Postscript is for you.

I don’t want to give too much away but it feels like a golden age superheo tale only it’s told from the perspective of the supervillain’s mother. Joe G. wrote and drew it himself and I did the cover. He sells them for a dollar and you can order one by emailing him at joe@guttertrash.net so grab one while you can as it’s truly a great debut comic.

Eddy

Mr. Arnold was a country music star. I had never heard of him but my mom has one of his records so I drew his portrait. I also misspelled his name but fixed it. Sorry Mr. Arnold.
