Go For The Gold! 3 and Go For The Gold! 2 and the mini bonus doodle weirdo zine are here and ready to ship worldwide! The store has them both and there is a preview of GFTG3 here. I’ll keep shipping these mini zines with every order because I can, and who cares? Right!
Now that all the fine contributing artists’ copies are shipping out to them, the pre-order phase is over. You order these books now, and I’ll be getting them into a Priority Mail package to you the next day.
Here’s a secret that’s no longer a secret: You can order these books directly from the print-on-demand printer too, if you prefer. That is over here. Books ordered from Meathaus here get the bonus zine and priority mail, and are already printed and ready to ship. So what is the advantage of ordering direct from the printer? I don’t know, maybe they have favorable international shipping or something.

Since we last posted about Matthew Lock’s Puff and Magic here, he filled his Flickr up with eleven pages of drawings and paintings but lost the password over here, then started a new one over here with even more work. Of course there is still his website Puff and Magic. It’s hard to wrap the head around the totality of radness.

EDIT: OK we have a winner! Blake Buesnel is the lucky man who gets a free portrait from Jess. Thanks for commenting everyone, I’m sure Jess will be psyched to see the enthusiasm generated in just an hour and a half.
Here it is, the free portrait give-away post. If you’re just browsing in, see the post directly below this one to get a handle on this. First comment received here ON THIS POST that affirms a desire for a free portrait gets it! Will update this post later today revealing the winner.

Jess Smart Smiley seems to be a man with a lot of ideas. Just looking at his blog here, you’ll see paper cut out illustration, inking practice, a 3D sculpted mountain, a coloring book, and photos of him hiding in a box dispensing free drawings to children and strangers in the dark. His latest idea is to draw digital portraits of you or your friend or family member for only $20 bucks, delivered to you as a printable file. You can see some examples consolidated here on Facebook.
Later today we’ll do another post regarding these portraits, and the first person to comment affirmatively that they’d like one will indeed win a free portrait from Mr. Smiley. YES, FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Daniel at Good vs Evil magazine tipped us off to his art publication that all comes together over here on the website (third issue pictured above) with a big list of contributors. Also related is the Good vs Evil blog with a nice selection of weirdo art and artists which of course is RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY. For example, check their neat find of the animation of Amy Lockheart aka Amy Logheart (screen grabs below from this little piece, “Walk For Walk“).

Andy Ristaino (website, blog) contributed some swell sketchbook pages to the brand new Meathaus anthology sketchbook, GO FOR THE GOLD! 3 as well a story for our latest full color comics anthology, Meathaus S.O.S., and he is currently on a mission to get his latest personal work, Escape From Dullsville printed. It’s all ready to go, but the publisher needs more pre-orders to pull the trigger on the printing press. Read all about it here.

Robertryan Cory has the smoothest most rubbery, tubular, pinched-eyeball encrusted section in the brand new GO FOR THE GOLD! 3 sketchbook anthology (preorder here, preview here). He has been posting these amazing pages that were he rejected for inclusion in the book on his Flickr account.
EDIT: Attention GO FOR THE GOLD enthusiasts! I was aware of one order yesterday that a customer had an error with so today I said OK screw it and I gutted the whole store and redid it quickly with straight-up paypal buttons. If you tried to order and it didn’t work before, now it will work in a slightly less high-tech way. But it will work. Order away!

Lorelei Herrera drew some comics in colored pencils or pastels or crayons on textured paper such as the one about a tiger in jeans, eating beans, denying his inner wild-man. Other comics include the one about the man with the box hairdo examining the tiny box stuffed full of hoofed animals when he suddenly has some issues that he needs some time to think on. Above is a detail of another comic, and they all can be found here at Macamob.
