You wouldn’t believe how many people end up here searching Google for an image of a horse. I’ve even had requests from people asking if they can buy copies. So yeah, this one is now officially for sale:
Feel free to contact me for details.

This is the one where I post something to apologize for not having posted lately. To my defense: I’ve been busy! Anyway, here are some eCards Gaby and I recently added to WeirdoCards. Clicking them will transport you to the corresponding WeirdoCards page where you will be able to send it to your friends and relatives! In no particular order:
Tooth Ache
A drawing I made based on a teacher at the academy, handily recycled as a man with a tooth ache.
Special Delivery Girl
Delivering pizza across Manhattan, Special Delivery Girl delivers pizza umm where, um, no special delivery girl has delivered pizza before.
Whatever Dude
Ever had to deal with a “Whatever Dude”? The Whatever Dude invariably denies all responsibility for whatever happened and will invariably shove all responsibility upon your shoulders. You do not want to be in the presence of a Whatever Dude, trust me.
Angel Tattoo
This one should look familiar to anyone who’s been following this weblog for a while.
Marvin, Elvis Fan
He calls himself Marvin, he’s homeless, and he hates it when you take his picture. Oh, and he lives on the streets of Vegas.
Godzilla Chicken
Bit of a back story: Google Maps doesn’t have satellite imagery for my (admittedly) small hometown — only a red dot. Which led Gaby to conclude that there must be a giant rubber Google-sponsored chicken that excretes red balls upon little villages so that they remain visible within Google Maps. Yes: I am very happily married.
Vader, The Snowman
My personal favorite! No explanation needed, me thinks.
I’ve talked about it there, so I may as well write about it here: I had this idea of a collaborative sketchbook travelling around the world from one Frank Zappa fan to the next, where each participant gets two pages to doodle, write and/or glue in whatever as long as it’s Zappa-related. Now the book is about to hit the road, as Gabriela’s contribution and mine (the cover) are finished.
More on Flickr. I can’t wait to see the kind of stuff people are going to come up with! Which will be some time next year probably, with some 30 participants already lined up. Let me know if you’d like to join in…
The early demise of the iMac’s hard disk set us back a bit (to say the least), but thankfully we had been sending relatively high-res versions of the illustrations to The Editor via Gmail which have turned out to be useable for print even if blown up a bit here and there. So now it’s on to the book’s cover. We’ve made two versions: one has Mr. Waits’ face colorized, while the other is just the drawing layed over the background image. Here they are for your perusal:
Which one to choose, hmmmm…
“Run away and join the circus,” he told them. “Get a tattoo, hop a train. Plant a garden and save the seeds. Get married, have kids, wear a hat. Get good with a bullwhip. Don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t steal. Everyone must put beans on the table. Be devoted to the unification of the diverse aspects of yourself. Remember, most of what is essential is invisible to the eye. The quality of time you spend with someone far outweighs the quantity. And, there’s a lot you can do with a wah-wah pedal and a bullet mike.”
