SON

WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS

IM GONNA DROWN MYSELF IN A BATHTUB ALSO

ABORT. ABORT. ABORT. ONLY SHOW IVE EVER DROPPED BC SEXISM. ABORT. ABORT

Let me preface this: this is the first time I've written anything about a show and I'd love to do that thing with run-on sentences that says, "don't take me too seriously" but that might get annoying to read.

A while ago I made a graphic series The Gang as Animals. I tried to pick stuff that had to do with the show a bit (Dee a bird, Dennis had a cat in the one episode... Mac and Poppins, Charlie and rats) as well as really fitting with their character. A while ago I had said Frank was a human, but it still wasn't an animal. I watched the episode where he's called "the warthog" but I couldn't buy it, or twist the wikipedia entry enough to make it fit for me.

Frank is really a spiritual being. The most spiritual on the show. Oh shit, did I lose you?? Hear me out!

Honestly, the only other character I think of that goes through anything spiritual is Dennis and the experience he gets out of murdering or... whatever he does.

One example of Frank as a sort of representation of the human condition is The Gang Gets Stranded. Frank is able to give himself into debauchery, abuse his kids, and only donates money to an animal charity so he can "make a mockery of their cause". But he still has a moment with that rabbit! He feels things, he connects with things. He's not a sociopath. Even as a someone who can connect and empathize he still wrecks shit. Human history is to the brim with this shit. Humans are intelligent and emotional but mankind as a whole loves destroying and conquering almost more than anything.

Supernatural Inspired and VegasCon 2014 Posters!

All of these posters are now available on Society6 and RedBubble

Okay wow.

So about 5 months ago I decided it was high time I learn a new medium in graphic design. Not just doing the same things in PS week after week and I wanted to make something Inspired by the fact I was going to Supernatural VegasCon and I needed something to get signed. I decided to teach myself Adobe Illustrator CS6 and these are my first attempts along with my It’s Always Sunny posters and the Community one I have done. All of this was very new to me and very hard to learn but being at VegasCon I showed them off and did actually end up selling some to a bunch of people who really liked them which made me so proud. 

Osric Chau and Rob Benedict ended up actually ended up wanting the Vegas one and The Angels one which made me really proud. They both really enjoyed and loved them. When I showed the Alphabet one to Felicia Day actually asked me to post them on tumblr and told me I should post all of the work like this because she thought it would be really successful. I got the Lucifer one signed by Mark Pellegrino and he died over it which hfkjsbhjKSHJKhs i am dead inside. he adored it so much which made me so happy.

Also special thanks to two of my wonderful friends Nana and Sam because without Nana I would never have even known I wanted to be a professional graphic designer in the first place and without Sam that beautiful yellow Sam poster would have never come to be because she inspired the entire thing.
