This “Stache Shark” is by request of one of my LiveJournal friends, and I was happy to oblige. There are only two days left of shark week, and I’ve realized I haven’t posted the link to the Flickr group since day one, so go see more sharks!

Speaking of sea creatures, I’ve been doing a lot of screenprinting lately. This octopus is an experimental, 7-color print, which is the most colors I’ve ever put down on one piece before. I wanted to do a multi-color print without using a computer at all, just using ink to draw my positives on mylar, and I wouldn’t decide what the next layer would be until I printed the previous layer. I had printed three colors before my roommate recommended the octopus idea. I want to do more prints like this soon, but maybe a few less colors and slightly more planned out. I’ll be putting these up in my Etsy shop for cheap later today, along with some other newer things. Might be open for trades too if anyone wants one.

A lot of posts today. I’m the guest artist this week over at Chainsaw Comics. I have a three-page story up there right now. This is just one of its many panels, you’ll have to go over there to see the rest. Oh yeah, it’s got a robot in it too, I know some of you have been missing those.

Also, if you didn’t catch my shark earlier today, check one post down.

I don’t think of this shark’s “kill” as being menacing in any way, in my head it’s more like how Arlo Guthrie says it in “Alice’s Restaurant,” if you happen to know that one.

“And I went up there, I said, “Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL.” And I started jumpin up and down yelling, “KILL, KILL,” and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, “KILL, KILL.” And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, “You’re our boy.”

Here’s my Shark Week shark from yesterday, I was out all day so I didn’t get a chance to post it. Today’s will post later today.

July 27th through August 2nd, 2008, I’ll be drawing a shark every day in celebration of Discovery Channel’s Annual Shark Week. I’m starting the week off with a simple doodle, re-colored a bit in Photoshop. There’s a Shark Week Artists Flickr Group, you still have time to join up and draw some sharks!
