Mr. Softee

So with the end of pre-college and no real viable summer vacation options, I treated myself to a staycation in NYC this weekend. I found out it’s fun to be a fake tourist in ny, especialy since your NOT perpetually lost. I also found out that the stupid tour buses are AWESOME and I have no shame about riding them.

Other things I learned:

There’s a great Durer exhibit at the Museum of Biblical Art. I know your thinking,”I’m really not that into bibles, dude.” Well you might be right about that but you’d be wrong to stay away from this exhibit. It’s a way cool, way extensive show of freaky germanic art (ex: the apocolypse with a pope devouring demon.) and they have MAGNIFYING GLASSES!

American Teen was pretty good but also intensly wierd because I’m the same age as the “stars”. I thought it was pretty spot on, but uncomfortably exploitive at times.

Also:

I’m continuing my frozen summer treat theme with drawing of the iconic ice cream truck.

Alright today I found out that I got a senior studio which is kinda a big deal (at least to me). A lot of my friends also got studios, so next year is looking to be much improved over the last one.

In other news I’m pretty much addicted to Brandon Graham’s LJ. I have to admit, I didn’t really like his stuff originally (circa meathaus 6). But now i know that it’s just cause I didn’t get it, simple as that. He’s clearly one of the most passionate dudes producing comics right now and he style is the antithesis of cookie cutter. It’s a shame what happened to his latest book, but the upside is that his online serialization of King City has made me a fan. I will definitely be picking up whatever Mr. Graham publishes next.

Melting in NYC

So far the summer hasn’t been too bad heat-wise. But I guess since my job doesn’t involving running around outside( like last year), I’m not as aware of the egg frying days of summer. Here’s a silly little illustration I did for a flyer that actually sums it up pretty nicely.
