Recently @fablepaint and I had the honor and pleasure of talking to Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou (Every Frame a Painting, Voir) about the adventure of adapting Lackadaisy for animation.

The Lackadaisy Mixer book!

...Just dropped in the Lackadaisy Shop! This is the culmination of a years-long passion project of research, recipe concocting, and photography by Nerlyn "Tomb" Galan. It grew into such a big and masterfully done collection of work, we decided to make a book out of it! It's full of character-themed cocktail and dessert recipes, 1920s history, lore, and absolutely luscious photos by Tomb herself.

It was an honor to work on this, and I really hope that others enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

So, this has been brewing for a while, but I can finally say that...

Lackadaisy is now a GLITCH Production!

For details, catch the official GLITCH Direct announcement video here!

In summary, this means Lackadaisy has more budget and vastly more production support than before; and that Season One will be bigger and better than we thought possible! And coinciding with the news, we've released a little animated sneak peak of Season One, featuring original music "Last Call"

See the full video with music here!

Lackadaisy making me wanna practice animating more :3

Lackadaisy Volumes 1 & 2 have been nominated for an Eisner Award in the Graphic Album Reprint category!

I’ve been meaning to make art for this show for SO LONG

At bars, people who order “chasers” after their shots are ordering something to wash down the taste of their shot with. This can be juice, soda, more alcohol, or even pickle juice

Hard liquor is generally sold in stores as shots (tiny bottles), fifths, liters, and handles or in ml (50, 100, 200 etc)

Most people can’t finish an entire fifth of hard liquor (vodka, etc) on their own without being very ill

Conversely, many people can finish an entire bottle of wine on their own without being ill

Liquor can be “bottom shelf” or “rail” or “well” – all synonyms for the cheapest version of alcohol a bartender has. Bars generally keep several “levels” of alcohol stocked

You order a drink with the alcohol first, then the mix – e.g., a “vodka soda” or a “Tito’s and tonic”

When you “close out a tab”, you pay for all of the drinks you’ve had that night. Either the bartender already has your card (you “opened a tab” earlier) or it was quiet enough that they just kept an eye on you and tallied your bill up at the end

“Doubles” are drinks or shots with double the standard pour of alcohol

In the US, most shots (pours) are 1.5 oz by default. 

Mixed drinks (gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, cosmos, etc) are generally made up of 1-2 shots and a mixer 

If you don’t specify which type of alcohol you’d like in a mixed drink (vodka cranberry, for example) the bartender will put whatever the “house” liquor is – and this depends entirely on the establishment. A dive bar will pour rail by default, whereas a nicer tavern might make all vodka cranberries with Tito’s
