The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 9
Click here to understand this big nerdy time-suck, but this is another installment mapping the progress of a little art project of mine — the sequel to one from back in the day. And in fact, it’s my last installment. Because redesigning superheroes as versions of your friends takes up a lot of damn time — and I think I’m up to like 40-50 characters. Plus I need a creative...

Inevitable Porn Parodies of Hit Movies
This is a bit late, but some of my more punderful pals got inspired by this year’s Oscar noms and spit out a list of hilarious titles for porn parodies of some of the year’s girthiest Oscar contenders.

The Girl With The Dragon Shat, Too
Jack and Jill, Off the Pill
We F’ed A Zoo
War Whores

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 8
Click here to understand this, but this is the eighth installment mapping the progress of a little art project of mine — the sequel to one from back in the day. It has damaged my blog readership numbers and cost me a follower (WHAT PRICE NERDINESS?) but it does show that while I’m neglecting my blog habit, I’m at least spending my time on something else. The photos are blurry,...

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 7
Click here to understand this, but basically this is the seventh installment mapping the progress of a little art project of mine — the sequel to one from back in the day. The photos are blurry, but again, it’s a sneak preview. Spoilers to the big reveal, which is a long way off. Because costume design takes a long damn time.

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 6
Note: Click here if you want this to make any sense. I’m doing a picture where my good friends and Sawyer are Marvel super heroes. It keeps me off the streets. Like in the gang member way. Not in the prostitute way. Life is about having varied interests.
MY FRIEND CRYSTAL AS SHADOWCAT
What comes from my friend: Crystal and I have been obsessed with the video for Beyonce’s countdown for...

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 5
Note: Click here if you want this to make any sense. It’s designs for people I know as comic book characters. Why? Because I didn’t get hugged enough as a kid or as an adult. And because if I don’t put my drawing talent towards SOMETHING, I’m just this guy who knows how to draw hot chick and no one ever benefits. WHERE MY FELLAS AT BOYEEEEEEE?!

Bangable Fictional Characters 6: Eames
2012 started with a bang, and will continue with another bang. But this time… (wait for it…) it’s the sex kind of bang!
(Yes, I write for a living. Please don’t hate me.)
So, previously on Cool Kids Table: I started a countdown of highly Bangable Fictional Characters as a follow-up to my relatively popular Bangable Celeb countdown. I got many of them done in rapid succesion last year –...

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 4
Note: Click here if you want this to make any sense. But again: my friends and family as superheroes for a big series of prints I’m working on, in the really sketchy costume design stage. Why? Because this is what I do while watching TV instead of eating. And I watch a shitload of TV. And I don’t want to get fatter. Deal with it.
(And yes, I’m single.)

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 3
Note: Click here if you want this to make any sense. None of these got colored this time around, and again, this is all very sketchy drawings captured by blurry photos. But high nerd image quality is imminent. (adjusts pocket protector)
MY FRIEND ERIN AS STORM
What comes from my friend: Erin travels all the damn time. Tropical place this and tropical place that, so this is based on one of her...

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 2
Note: Click here if you want this to make any sense. But basically, this is the second part of a huge project, blogged in progress, where I draw super heroic versions of my friends. In the costume design phase now. Please excuse that these are really blurry iPohne photos of badly lit sketches. They’ll be bad-ass eventually.

The Making of PROJECT:NERDIER, phase 1
Over the course of two years, culminating in a huge print in September 2010, I worked on a drawing I called Project Nerd. The gift, a nerdy tribute to my friends and my love of comic books, took hours of costume redesigns so that I could ultimately have a huge splash page of my favorite people as fictional characters they’re similar to in some way. Some people asked for their characters;...
