Self-Portrait While Possessed #5

My Favorite Joke

I like this character so much that i'm constantly tempted to draw a 500 pages book about him, but i always realize that a million pages pages wouldn't never do better by him that this one single panel. Sometimes Less is Morbid.

The original of this drawing sold at the Funny (Not Funny) show along with the one i posted here, (ask about my originals, i'm cheap!) it was a great show, and now you can buy the catalog, softcover, 56 pages, full color, 8.5 x 8.5 inches, includes an essay on Black Humor and statements by all the artists, here's the complete list: Ivan Brunetti, Chris Cilla, Sue Coe, Lisa Hanawalt, Glenn Head, Tim Hensley, Ian Huebert, Ben Katchor, Michael Kupperman, Mats!?, Daniel Maw, Taylor McKimens, Travis Millard, Tom Neely, Mark Newgarden, Jonathon Rosen, David Sandlin, Rob Sato and Jon Vermilyea, all the artwork was shot directly from the originals so you get to see every gritty detail -like the glued on text on the drawing above- highly recommended.









$14.95 + shipping, you can get it at the webstore of Editor/Curator/Art Powerhouse Ryan Standfest here, or search for it on Amazon & eBay.

Self-Portrait While Possessed #4

A Thousand Holes Won't Unearth My Name

The Partridge Family Dungeon

Boy Genius

Very old comic, except for the spiky background stuff, wich i added last year because i apparently thought the comic wasn't retarded enough.

I now suspect it was a superfluous augmentation.

Bow to the Bastard

Emberley Galaxy

I'm part of this fantastic show in Detroit called FUNNY (not funny) where you can see the original of the above drawing, here's the press release:

FUNNY (not funny)

Recent Comic Art Exhibiting Signs of Black Humor

Curated by Ryan Standfest

January 22 – February 26, 2010

Reception: Friday, January 22^nd, 6 – 9pm

The University of Michigan Work : Detroit Gallery

3663 Woodward / Suite 150

Detroit, MI 48230

The "FUNNY (not funny)" exhibition seeks to elicit uncomfortable laughter in the realm of black humor-- a place where the serious and the taboo are fodder for comic provocation. Artists in numerous media have long sought to overturn convention and challenge what is funny with what is not as a means of producing humor out of the unlikeliest of situations. Work by the twenty artists that will be on view in “FUNNY (not funny)”, demonstrates that cartooning is keeping the tradition of black humor alive and flourishing. The very form of the comics page itself is as relevant a vehicle as ever, freed from so many of the commercial restrictions placed on other art forms, to effectively deliver potent images and narratives that carry with them a very immediate and accurate measure of the absurdity of our age. A catalog of the exhibition is forthcoming.
