IlloFriday: Glamour Part Deux

Here's my second post for the evening. Here we have Mr. and Mrs. Spears. I used to have a thing for Britney back in her glory days when everyone was trying to figure out how big her oohahs were. So I didn't want to leave this handsome couple out of the fun (I'm talking about Britney and K-Fed), particularly because she was stolen away from me! I never even had a chance though, Justin and K-Fed are way sicker dancers than I'll ever be. Anyway, here's my tribute to love lost...probably for the best.  ¶ 6:28 PM 2 comments

 
IlloFriday: Glamour

Or is it the anti-glamour? So this is how I spent my Friday night. Drawing and posting on my blog. But seriously, what better way to spend it? I actually have two posts for this week's topic. When I thought glamour, I thought Hollywood. Of course, I thought of the negative side. Behold my pokes at some of our most beloved members of the rich and famous. First we have good ole Tomcat. I'm sure they're both very nice people...but here's my illo anyways.  ¶ 6:22 PM 0 comments

 
And then we're going to the White House...Yee-ah!

Disclaimer...this is not a political statement, in no way does this reflect my views about religion, politics, economics, disco, boxers vs. briefs, Engelbert Humperdinck, use of the designated hitter, etc. I just thought it was hilarious when I saw this clip and heard the scream. It was pure shock and awe, but mostly awe. I mean, that was like a five-octave jump. I'm actually impressed.  ¶ 3:30 PM 0 comments

 
I'll do what I want, gosh!

I'm feeling like I need to add a couple more random pictures to get me going here. I decided to pick out a couple that I at least think are a little amusing. I drew this one last night watching American Idol. I know what you're thinking, but I wasn't the only one in the PHD watching last night...Dave!

Ak Industries

One of my best friends from high school owns a small clothing company called AK Industries. It's really an up and coming brand that at first did well in the European market and is now starting to pick up in the US. The start-up of the company is pretty interesting. He used to sit in class at ASU drawing different logos that he thought might look good on a t-shirt or hoodie. Being a business major, he decided to take a risk and try it out and put $1000 into some materials and marketing. Now here he is with a company that's making a great profit, and did I mention he plays semi-pro baseball in the LA Dodgers organization. Check out his site and see what its all about: www.akclothing.com

  IlloFriday: Cats

So here is my first submission for Illustration Friday. The topic is of course cats. Wasn't quite sure what to do with this one at first, but after some serious reflection, I ended up with this little sketch. I felt inspired by two of my former guilty pleasures growing up as a child, Garfield and Miami Vice. When I was a kid, I used to stay up late at night reading Garfield books under the covers with a flashlight, and as a child of the 80s, I certainly used to watch Miami Vice religiously, under the influence of mom...just kidding...but seriously, watched it every week. Suddenly I have the urge to don my white loafers.  ¶ 5:30 PM 8 comments

  Contrary to popular belief, "Suviving the PHD" is not a reference to enduring the unmerciful ordeal of earning the aforementioned academic degree. Rather, I dedicated the title of this blog to my domicile, apt PHD. The PHD, also affectionately referred to as the Papa Hotel Delta, is my place of rest, my abode of slumber...chez moi. Also home to two other inhabitants, the lounge singer and the leprechaun in the picture above, the PHD is a penthouse apartment on the roof of a 21-story building...a block away from the Boston ghetto. Now I realize that I used the word "Surviving" in the title of this blog. However comma it is not meant to be a negative portrayal of my beloved habitat. The PHD has been very good to me, and I love it with all of my heart.  ¶ 5:44 PM 4 comments
