Pup! #3: "Eats"

Poor Pup! Even the poo worms are crying.

Tacky Plax: in the Doghouse

Tacky Plax: Lookin'

Ain't that the truth.

Tacky Plax: Hippie vs Cop!

I've posted about my love of tacky souvenir plaques with funny sayings a couple of times now. This weekend a friend showed up with a small bag full of ghastly examples (on paper and wood) she's collected from yard sales over the years. I'll be uploading them in the next few weeks for your viewing pleasure; prepare for chortles, guffaws, and laffs galore.

This one harks back to the good old days of Hippie vs Cop. Printed on heavy card stock with post card info on the back and the statement "It's a Plak!", copyright Imprint Art Products, Fair Lawn, NJ.

Pup! #2: "Tuesday"

Blue Art Ghost

Here's something you don't see every day in this conservative city in the Canadian prairie; DIY art! I got so used to it in Seattle I forgot that a lot of places don't really do it at all. Kudos to the organizers of this little bit of insanity down at Art Central, and if you're downtown in the next few days go check it out because it comes down Thursday.

Pup! #1: "Pals"

On Sunday we went to the comic book store, and as is my wont I looked at small press publications, trying to find one that might be a good match for my comic book. Only, I think I'm barking up the wrong tree with wordplay, history, and true tales, as everything I picked up seemed to be cute stories about poop. Cute stories about poop in sepia tones, with adorable animals and disgusting situations. So I thought, if you can't beat 'em...

Here for your enjoyment is episode one of PUP!

And to amp the indie artie cred even farther than poop, sepia washes, cute animals, infantile text and tentative linework take it, the damn thing's drawn in a moleskine. Cool? You betcha.

Just another day in sunny Alberta

Only, without the type.

Happy Father's Day!

A little something I found while looking for Father's Day images. Apparently there is also a Vader/Luke figure set with a card (available at Walmart and on ebay), for those who just can't get enough of the Vader love.
