Smoke Signal #5: Bangs in Jamaica

Pick up the new issue of Smoke Signal to read about Lester Bangs' '77 trip to Jamaica. Co-starring Bob Marley and Lee Perry. Get it at Desert Island or various locations around Brooklyn. It's all comics, and it's free. If you don't live in NYC and want one, pretty soon they'll have it up on their web shop, where you can get it for the price of postage.

Group Show of Drawings

I have a drawing in this group show. The party is Friday, aka tomorrow. It's 40+ artists I think, all with one piece. Hopefully most of the pieces will be drawings, but I think they are free to interpret the name of the show, Drawing of the Year, however they like.

Landmarks T-Shirt Drawn by Yours Truly

I drew the Cyclone, the Bank Building at One Hanson, Grand Army Plaza, Ebbets Field, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Domino building for this t-shirt by Brooklyn Novelty. (They did that Williamsburg tote you've seen.)
You can buy one here. Men's and women's!

Derick, Make Some More Popcorn

Results from last month's B(A)NO{S} meeting have been posted on the B(A)NO{S} blog here.

Commodore Drink Menu

You can kinda see a new project in this pic I found on Yelp. It's the placemat at the killer new bar, The Commodore in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I did the drink illos, my main man Mike Reddy did the building. Milton and Derick (I think) did the layout. COCKTAILS! Let's do this.

Just Text

All I did for this Des Ark tour poster was the cursive text. Looks pretty good though. Poster by Janelle Pietrzak.

Gene Wilder

Stuff Around the House Pt 3

When I sent out my last zine, I tried to include a doodle. Here's the drawing I sent with my unsolicited mailing to Leanne Shapton.

Yankees XXVII

My friend had the idea of getting me to draw the championship Yankees and put his dad in there as a Christmas gift for said dad. Pretty great idea, I think it came out nicely.

Profile Pics Project Part I

Using a deck of cards and my FB friends list, I randomly picked enough profile pics to fill a page. Want your profile pic portaitured? Get in touch with me at gelgud AT gmail DOT com.

Diary Sample from December

Movie Trios Media

Some people found the movie trios on-line and posted about them. Flavorpill thinks the Stolen Kisses one would be a great gift for Charlotte Gainsbourg, and the Film Experience blog did a nice little write-up on them. Thanks yawlz.

Update: IMDb reposted the Film Experience link here. Or Film Experience reposted the IMDb link? Whatevs.

Here's a flyer I hooked up for Don Stahl's comedy extravaganza next week.

Juxtapoz Knowz Whatz Up

They wrote about M. Carter's Faces of Death tee (that I contributed to). Check it here.

Dust Jacket

Made this for a friend last week. One of the times that Woody Allen was on Dick Cavett they were talking about the idea of a perfect work of art, and one of the examples Cavett used was a story by Jean Stafford. That was the first I'd ever heard of her.

Cover illustration inspired by her story "In the Zoo."

Ilmmatic outfit, Staff!

The part you see the most if you own it.

Smoke Signals Three is Out

Read my latest published comic, "The First Literary Work of Honoré de Balzac," in the new Smoke Signals, the free all-comics newspaper printed and distributed by the indefatigable Gabe Fowler at Desert Island. The issue debuted at FABCGN (which totally went off). You can pick up SS3 at the store and other places, like maybe your favorite bar.

Here is the inspiration for my hand-drawn poster.

Here is a great interview thing with Wes Anderson about Small Change.

Final Month at Brooklyn Collective

My time is almost up. So if you haven't gone to Brooklyn Collective yet, and you want to see some of this stuff up close, or want to buy something from a fancy store with cash or credit (like a grownup) instead of Paypal, you still can. Go get my zine or something. Haggle a little and see what happens and then let me know what happened. It's kinda near Ikea so you could go there after. You don't have to go to Ikea. Then you could take the ferry into lower Manhattan. Then go to the J. Crew at South Street Seaport. They take Paypal there.*

Man, can you get some cool stuff at Brooklyn Collective. You could get a drawing of Jonathan Richman. You could get a drawing of Jean-Pierre Leaud, Claude Jade, and Delphine Seyrig in Truffaut's Stolen Kisses. Or you could just go see this stuff.

Enough.

*They don't take Paypal there.

Inspired by the Movie "Stalker"

Here's a small jpeg of the drawing I did that is inspired by Tarkovsky's movie Stalker. It's small so you can't just download it and print it for free because I know you want it so bad. It's framed now, 8.5/11", hanging up at Brooklyn Collective. So go check it out there.

Smoke Signal Subway Story

Now that SS #1 is all gone I figure it's time to post up what I had in there. I like the way it came out and it looks good on newsprint. But you don't get to know that if you didn't already I guess because it's sold out. (Given away.)
