A new Acorn Minutes sees Hotlanta responding to a delightful e-mail from a pre-K fan, dictated to her daddy. Topics include: Being an acorn person, civil rights, and family, among others. So come in out of the cold and cozy up to the fire with a cup of soup and some splendid conversation with everyone's favorite acorn warrior!
Here's an illustration I did for Comics Alliance's 12 Days of Christmas blog series. Other folks at Periscope did really great pieces too- go give them a look!
Hotlanta explores the wonders of modern technology at Periscope Studio! Part two in the acorn warrior's profile of Jonathan Case's life and times. Viva la cintiq!
Also on Vimeo!
Another entry in the McMenamins cannon. This one was inspired in part by Dylan Meconis and her leg-warmered llama. Much like zeppelins, llamas are always useful!
A new piece for McMenamins, referencing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song 'Zero'. I'm on a dot kick lately- trying some things out digitally, as below with the 40s noir project, and now with real world media, via the power of those rubber sheets you put in the cupboard to keep dishes from sliding around.
Why a blimp? Why NOT a blimp? Blimps are rad, and kind of eighties Blade Runner-y, which is very Yeah Yeah Yeahs to me. I have spoken!
Documentary time. A day in the life of a cartoonist, presented by your acorn-headed host, Hotlanta! The first in a series profiling Jonathan Case's professional and personal practices, as observed by everyone's favorite nut.
Today's entry: Breakfast!
Now, also on Vimeo!
...Another entry to the cast of the upcoming noir/comedy comic.
Here's some character art for a comics story I'm going to be doing soon. It'll be a 40s noir/comedy sort of Billy Wilder thing. More to come!
Hello friends- To start things off at this new site of mine, here's a painting I finished this afternoon for the new McMenamins hotel.
It's for 'The Tide is High' Blondie room. Yowza! Remember Debbie Harry on the Muppet Show? Youtube does!
It also remembers Debbie in this blue... thing she's wearing.
I went through a bunch of concert footage and settled on this outfit because it was simultaneously cute and wack. And her hair had a pseudo mullet thing going on that spoke to me.
Yay Debbie Harry! Yay use of muppets in odd places! Yay nobody sue me!
Testing. I test.
