I recently began rewatching the Twin Peaks DVDs and thought I’d do this rendition of some of the characters from the show. If you like this one you’ll love my melding of Hagar the Horrible with L.A. Law.

Idiot Box
SOLD OUT !
Well, here it is. My newest and most pretentious publication to date! It’s a page by page recreation of a sketchbook I filled up while watching television between August ’08 and June ’09. It’s a limited numbered print run of fifteen copies each featuring a hand screened cover with a drawing unique to that copy (as seen in above photo of all the covers). I’m going to try to sell about ten of them for $10 each postage included so if you’re interested write to me at the address at the bottom of this page or send it to me via paypal (veggiedogsaturn@gmail.com). Remember, each one sold puts me that much closer to buying a bigger television set so it’s for a good cause! Below is one of the 55 pieces contained within.

Fallen Son Sketch Cover
This is a copy of the Fallen Son: Death of Captain America comic Marvel put out a couple of years ago. They did some with a blank cover so that you can take it to comics conventions and get artist sketches on them… but instead I just did a sketch for myself. What does that say about me? Am I an asshole? Don’t answer that.

Wolverine
Wolverine was my favorite super hero when I was a kid. I had the Secret Wars action figure… and I even pretended that my DC Super Powers Kalibak was the Frank Miller Wolverine from the cover of the trade paperback to the mini-series. I also remember freaking out when I saw the episode of Spider-man and his Amazing Friends where the X-men appeared. The first time you see Wolverine he’s sticking a claw through an orange or grapefruit or something and says, “Wanna piece ‘a fruit?” Ah yes… but now I’m all grown up and Wolverine no longer holds a place in my heart…. or does he?!

George Herriman
The only drawing I’ve done this week is on the comic I’m finishing up… so I figured I’d just post this portrait of George Herriman I did a few months back. I read about 8 years of George’s ‘Krazy Kat’ strip last year and highly recommend it to everyone. George was somehow capable of fusing slapstick comedy, surrealism, and a sharp literay wit into a weekly strip that was beautifully drawn to boot. ‘Krazy Kat’ ran from 1913 to the early ’30s and hasn’t lost any of its innovation or relevance in the last 80 years. I mean… it’s no Garfield… but what is I ask you? What is?
