Fatback & Skinny McLean: Pandemic Panic

While they've appeared sporadically here and there, Fatback & Skinny McLean--once my most regular and most popular characters (all terms being relative)--have not appeared in a solo comic outing for a few years now! Here they make a triumphant return (but for how long?). And it's all thanks to the current headlines. Is it too soon? Oh well, what's done is done. Enjoy!

Vader in a Cooler: REDUX!

About three years back, I did a little one-page comic retelling a childhood nightmare about Darth Vader. Recently, Goobeetsa suggested I submit said comic for inclusion in a new Darth Vader-themed art book that is being compiled. It sounded like a good idea to me, so I set to work re-doing the original comic with a bit more care (and updated style) than the original showcased.

I'll update you later with more info on the release of the book as it's available to me. For now, enjoy!

For those who want to compare the new one to the original, here's a link to the image.

Wicked

After being a fan of the novel for quite some time, I finally had the opportunity last weekend to see the Broadway musical, Wicked. The musical didn't let me down, as I thoroughly enjoyed the show! Over two hours of pure spectacle...and while Avenue Q will probably always be my technical favorite, I can definitely say this one is the actual best of the very few Broadway shows I've had the chance to see so far.

Predictably some fan art was inspired, and here you have it (and given that the play inspired the fan art, it's based more on the play than on the book). Enjoy!

Jenn & Bueno: It's Spreading?!

Over on deviantart, where I also maintain a gallery, there's been a little phenomenon lately of a particular symbol popping up in pieces of art all over the place, usually in conjunction with the phrase, "it's spreading".

I don't know what the point of it all is, though I assume the point is solely to see how many people will jump on the bandwagon using the symbol.

Whatever the real point, I decided to parody the whole thing the other day with this quick Jenn & Bueno sketch (by virtue of which I guess I ended up jumping on said bandwagon...d'oh!) I figured I'd post it on the Blog-O as well, for the sake of the J&B fans who visit here.

A Futuristic Farewell

My friend Courtney is packing up and leaving her friends in Alabama to move back home to Florida! So I Futurama-fied a few of us as a going away present. Yeah, I'm Bender. Even though I'm really fairly non-Benderish most of the time. Enjoy!

A little picture of the framed final product:



And here's the very nerdily cool cake we had!

for the cake--I just couldn't resist posting it here)

Despite all the traditional Jenn & Bueno holiday illustrations, I haven't done anything for Easter in a few years. So here's a Jenn & Bueno Easter comic. Enjoy!
