If you head over to Kenichi Hoshine’s blog, you will find great on-the-street or in-the-art-studio photography, considered shots of gorgeous-looking food he’s either prepared or eaten, and a few beautifully-rendered sketches from his forays into figure drawing. The whole experience is well-curated and makes me want to clean up my office and get drawing.
I remember, in the days before podcasts and easily accessible online streaming, visiting Chris McD and Farel at the old SVA radio booth. It was a funny little room, and back then, the station basically broadcast to absolutely nowhere. I don’t know if the Your Dreams, My Nightmares radio show is broadcast from the same funny little room or not, but either way, host (and talented artist) Sam Weber has put together a really impressive roster of interviews with a wide array of artists, like Jillian Tamaki, Mike Perry and Tomer Hanuka. The podcast is available on itunes and soundcloud.
To get you in the mood, here’s a great piece by Jillian Tamaki, with a link to her interview…
Monday to ya. A few small tweaks around here are represented visually by the floating patties in the BG. I have convinced a handful of the Meathaüs Olde Guard to rejoin the fray and get to occasionally posting on here on the regular. A few reasons for this include:
It will be awesome
It will be nice to have the site be more of a group activity again since geographically we are so splintered now
I am changing my role from weekday primary poster to mainly being the Meathaus Weekend Warrior
As you can see this weekend there was a week’s worth of posting going on, so the post volume may be similar after all, just chunkier. And I’ve moved the post author up to the top of each post so you can get to know your poster posting personalities better. Oh, and there will be more site redesign tweaks to come, this was just the 30 minute update. Enjoy!
Hey, it’s Meat-colleague Jay here to plug a little comic I drew for the excellent sports journalism operation, The Classical. It’s about minor league hockey in Maine and features drawings like this:And this:And should that not be enough, it also includes a youtube link to a dude getting elbowed in the face.
What’s up dudes, let’s go to the Plymouth Meeting Mall Babbages and see if we can buy “Leisure Suit Larry” from the five dollar bin while mom’s getting soft pretzels.
EDIT: This is Jeffro’s post from yesterday so the shirt link works but you can’t buy it anymore. Anyways check out Jeffro’s blog. -Chris
Today only I have a shirt on Teefury.com in one of those “one day only” sales. The shirt is a parody of the show Cheers and the bar scene in Star Wars.
I used to draw a lot of cartoons in bars and just cram the page with weird patrons. I think I started doing this back in 1996 or 1997 at the tail end of my college years. It was the first time I really remember kind of liking my own drawings.
A few of these drawings were used as fliers for local Philly bars, like this one:
I haven’t done one of these cartoons in years, but I kind of missed it. So i did this shirt design in that style. If you are interested, you can CLICK HERE go to Teefury’s website to take a closer look or get the shirt.
Mark Sunshine, contributor to the new GO FOR THE GOLD! 4 receives a copy and records his initial impressions of it and then chills out on a car talking about the production of a new RIOTGOD track and the coming rainy weekend and the strangeness of life and then GO FOR THE GOLD! again. Check out Mark’s youtube channel for more video entires about monster dreams (with a diagram) and emotional puppy deliveries. I like watching these videos, it’s like a digital hang out session. Up top are a few of Mark’s drawings from his website collection.
