Gregor was the school bully...that was of course until he got braces. Ever since that day, the tables have been turned. He's now being called, the meanest geek in school. To be honest, I don't think it was the braces that got him his new title.

Drawn at 2 a.m. in a New Jersey diner. I know I said the story would follow soon but this seems like a lame story. If anyone wants to make up their own and let me have the day off, feel free to add it to the comments.

Kim DaBusser likes to pick on people until just before their breaking point. Then she'll reel you back in and make you feel important just long enough to tear you down again. It's a vicious cycle but you have to love it...or else you'll never hear the end of it.

Today is my girlfriend's Birthday and this is the card I made for her. The top image was on the outside and the bottom image was on the inside. Inside, the text read, "Barry the bear loves eating birthday cake for dessert...(almost as much as he enjoys his main course.)" Happy Birthday baby! (Thanks go out to my friend Kevin for helping me match the words with my bear.)

Some people, no matter how hard they try are disillusioned into thinking that they're connected with the majority.

Yo! Who wantz uh Monstuh?!?! Daaaamn Guuurl!

"Guerrilla" or "Viral" marketing as it's known is the use of advertisements in non-traditional settings. Much like any form of advertising, it really only works if you know your audience. I was standing on the corner of Yuppie White People Drive and No Thanks Ave. when a truck rolled up blasting rap and two guys and this chick above got out. They were very "street" and "urban" and "all up in my grill yo." They seemed to be proud to perpetuate a stereotype that advertisers have no problem exploiting. Their goal: give out free energy drinks to anyone with a mouth. I think they persuaded one in every 87 people.

A commercial recently proposed the thought that I rethink "Bling." What, I should change my life for you? For you, I do. Now would it kill you to pass the schmear?

Truth be told...they do. I'm a big baby when it comes to killing bugs. I used to collect them as a kid but we have clearly grown apart. I'm still partial to pill bugs but that's about it.

Jarvis loved to stomp on things. He was the smallest dinosaur in his class but he made sure to overcompensate by crushing anything that got in his way...unless it was bigger than him. "That'll teach those flowers for being small and pretty!" he thought.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting this fella who was a walking dictionary description for the word "Squalid." I don't even know where to begin with this one. He lived in a place with holes in the walls, garbage insulated floors, and it looked like he ate a big mouthful of wet coffee grinds just before I had the chance to talk to him. Note to self: Advertising words such as "charm" and "character" mean the product being described is most likely broken and shitty.

Even though she probably didn't look like this, (she does in my memory) this was a sweet woman who will eventually rip me off if I don't take her advice. That said, she was a sweetheart. :)

Life is turning all topsy-turvy for Mr. Bugapoo...The only good news is that he just learned how to twirl a baton. Between that and a knack for juggling, if all else fails, at least he can still join the circus when it comes to town. It's good to have a backup plan.

Here's a portrait of the mother of the two guys in my thesis. I think she looks like a Betty to me. It's the first quasi-successful painting I've done in photoshop. (I'm still learning) I had a lot of fun with this. I can't wait to do more!

Fitting In

Perhaps nobody would notice...Sometimes we go to great lengths to find that level of acceptance from those around us. Some of us are better at it than others.

p.s. I apologize for the lack of updates this week, I have lots more doodles on the way. I was away on business and need time to color the new ones. I'll have them up ASAP.
