Caring Is Cool

This is a poster I did for actress/comedian/musician Charlyne Yi's group Caring Is Cool.

Ink & Watercolor.

I did this whole illustration and then I looked at the watercolor pad that I was using and on the front is a giant painting of a hot-air balloon. But I hadn't noticed it at all up until that point, this is just an old pad of watercolor paper I had found in my house. I wonder if it subliminally encouraged me to draw this?



However I have been on a Wizard of Oz kick lately as well. So that might have also encouraged the hot-air balloon idea.

Anyways, I've got some good things in the works, hopefully some cool stuff will be coming out soon.

Christmas

So Christmas is right around the corner and I've been too busy to even buy any presents yet. I got a job working at an arts and crafts store and I've been working full time. On top of that I've been doing more freelance illustration for the Alphapalooza music festival. So I've been keeping very busy. Very Berry Busy. That would be the name of my energy drink that distorts time. You would drink it and it would give you so much energy you would move at near the speed of light, allowing you to perceive time differently from the rest of the people on earth. Then, by the time you've gotten all your chores done you realize that everyone you've ever know is dead and gone and that it is in fact hundreds of years in the future. I think it would help people to appreciate their lives a bit more and realize that they shouldn't stress over little things like school and work... don't think it would sell very well though...

So today I caught the black plague and I was like, "What!?" but then this wizard gave me an antidote and I was like, "Yes!" And then I gave him a high-five and he turned invisible and then left. Or at least I think he left... Hmm...

Nothing Interesting... DO NOT READ!

So this one time I was totally going to the store. And I was there... I was at the store. And I was looking at the things at the store... The things that they sell at the store, those things at the store, you know? And then this guy, the same guy who works at the store, and is always at the store, came up to me at the store. "May I help you?" said the guy at the store and I said "Fuck you! You're not my real father!" to the guy at the store and then we both cried for a long time... at the store. And that's the end of the story that takes place at the store.

An Entire Sketch Book in 10 Weeks

Ever tried to fill an entire sketchbook in 10 weeks? Its really monkey-fightin hard, especially when you've got tons of other stuff on your metaphorical plate. Most of the book is just me scribbling, but there are a few gems in there.

Sold My Soul Today...

So I sold my soul today... I finally got a Twitter...

I always hated Twitter since I first heard about it. First of all it just seems pointless. Secondly, it feels so self-absorbed to use it the way a lot of people do, "OMG! These brownies are delicious!" Guess what... I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! However, there are some really hilarious people on there, like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. But that isn't why I got one. My friend Jeremy Nguyen (check his work out at Jeremy Wins Life) was telling me that it is a really good way to get your work out into the world. He claims that is has done more good than Deviant Art or anything else he's tried. So... yeah, I got an account there and now I'm a twat, but I don't care, see!

Anyways, if you have one then follow me (https://twitter.com/#!/Papposilenos)... if you don't have one... then make fun of me, A LOT.
