Recent discovery — I think I’m going to see them Wednesday April 7 at Schuba’s!

The first two months of issues are now available, this is a little project I started to give people I know the opportunity to do a regular, fun, low intensity project month-to-month that could be unstressful. Unlike a lot of the other fun and creative stuff in which people get involved, it seems.

Assignments are made by someone each month and distributed to a list of contributors. The people that have time do the assignment, I compile it, and release it by the 25th of each month.

I designed this logo for an improv team I coach for the Chemically Imbalanced Comedy. Fine folks, and I think I captured the inherent charming dysfunction of the group. Or, got in the neighborhood.

The improv theater from whence I came, Raleigh, NC’s ComedyWorx, does a long form invitational weekend every year, and each year they’ve had me draw the poster. The ‘09 invitational was the third and used the 3D theme. Mostly the 3D glasses from this got used in various materials, but this was my favorite presentation because it felt a bit like a 60s/70s movie poster to me.

Sketch duo Kerpatty asked me to draw a cartoon ice cream cone with a stick of dynamite in it. And that is what I did.

A pair of posters I did for my friend Sean Keith. He encouraged my exploitation rock art phase, which was fun for me. Monsters, snakes, and rock & roll are forever neat.
