CARTOON UTOPIA #23-27

Here are 5 new drawings in this "Enter The Cartoon Utopia" series!
I've got a lot more planned. The next large batch will slowly start to get more narrative...
These will be shown at The Hope Gallery, here in Echo Park in June!










I tried to add just a tiny bit of shading to this one, and it turned out full color!

Cartoon Utopian bandmembers - in color

I painted these bandmembers for an old freind's children. I'd be psyched to do more for other kids!

(... maybe next they could be standing on the kid's names drawn in big boxy letters...)

anybody want one?

THE CARTOON BAND! HERE THEY COME! ON THE MOVE!

"ENTER THE CARTOON UTOPIA" - aka "Ron Rege rent party"

OK! I made 22 drawings recently - put them up for sale - and people snatched them all up!

I'm going to keep doing these 4x6 drawings - numbering them - and selling them here.
I've got up to 60 or so planned - They're going to start to get a bit "narrative" too.
I'm selling my new comic here - panel by panel! Ha!


awesome, thanks.
perfect. ..

NEW BOOK 02008

Yes, it's true, D&Q is going to publish a book of mine this year. It's a collection called Against Pain. It'll be 144 pages, 9x11" hardcover brick of a thing - full of scattered and forgotten comics I've drawn over the last decade or so. I'm excited about it - All this stuff together. I think it's gonna look cool. Lots to read! Here is the back cover - and the contents page, anybody remember half of these? HA!

THIS IS IT

how my love heals me

I've been drawing in one of those "accordian" books - it's so much fun! This one is less than half done - but what do I do with it when I'm finished?

These recent doodle paintings came out kinda crazy.

Happy Holidays from The Mystical Unionists

I just found these 2 old Mystical Unionists tracks sitting on the Lavender Diamond site.
So, for the hardcore LD fan - here is a secret happy holiday treat!
They're just sitting there for some reason, so you might as well listen to them!
