There are still a few days left for holiday sale going on in my etsy emporium. You can get 25% off all items with no additional shipping costs by entering the password ‘narwhal’ in the order process. Why not give your loved ones the gift of tragedy this year!?

I’m also would like to note that the five other creators represented by the periscope studio Kickstarter have all been instrumental in my development as an artist. You can learn from them too by helping their art books see print. Thank you for your support and kind attention.

Nuestro Life Calendar es ciertamente algo novedoso en lo que a calendarios se refiere, pero si sois más clásicos y os gusta tener una imagen que acompañe al mes vigente, Erika Deoudes tiene una solución que seguro os gustará.

Su Calendar of Sexy Monsters es algo subido de tono y puede escandalizar a cualquiera. Combate muy dignamente contra los calendarios de los talleres mecánicos y con los de los camioneros, aunque quizás los que regalan en Semana Santa les hagan sombra.

En cualquier caso, los monstruos posan tal y como vinieron al mundo y usan objetos obscenos para provocar (el uso que hace Godzilla -o Mayo- de la red eléctrica es simplemente escalofriante).

Predator, Nosferatu,… todos se han prestado a ser inmortalizados mostrando su faceta más sexy. Podéis verlos en la página de la propia Erika o en vuestros mejores sueños o probablemente en ambos.

The Sequential Art Gallery, here in Portland, is currently displaying original art from this series through the end of this month. Also: Orbital comics, in London, has a few of my images on display along with other Portland artists. Take a jaunt out of your warm and well-appointed study to take note of the flaws in my finished drawings; I relish feedback. 

Hey Everyone, instead of using a flimsy pretext to work this into the comic, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide you with a printable 5″x7″ Christmas card to send everyone straight up. Just print the first page, flip the paper, and print the second page. Cut at the dotted lines. Hooray festivities!

El Face-O-Mat es la ingeniosa máquina expendedora de retratos creada por Tobias Gutmann. La máquina funciona mediante un complejo sistema de cartones, sentido del humor y el propio Tobias haciendo de las suyas. Los retratos son escupidos por la máquina en un tiempo máximo de tres minutos y todo cliente hasta ahora ha salido satisfecho.

Además, la máquina tiene sonidos imitando el proceso de secado del retrato, así como el de absorber el dinero o tarjeta por la ranura adecuada. El Face-O-Mat lleva ya un tiempo girando por el mundo (de momento ha estado en Europa, Asia y África) y ha producido más de 700 retratos, todos igual de hilarantes. Podéis echar un ojo al vídeo para ver el funcionamiento o, mejor, dar un paseo por la página del propio Tobias.

El Star Fighter es el autobús japonés que conecta Shinjuku con el Tsukuba Space Center, y está hecho para preparar a los viajeros ante lo que van a contemplar cuando lleguen a su destino. Tiene todo lo que uno puede esperar de una nave espacial: mandos para disparar naves enemigas, uniformes, luces de neón,… estoy prácticamente seguro de que también hay algún cylon, pero eso ya sabemos que hay que investigarlo un poco antes de acusar.

Lo de los autobuses temáticos es algo que debería estar instaurado en todas las regiones. Haría más fácil la forma de saber cuál es tu autobús (el que tiene forma de gato es el que lleva al cine) y crearía un paisaje urbano más pintoresco, lleno de gente que disfruta del viaje tanto como del destino.

Excepto en el caso de los hospitales, los cementerios y Benidorm; no estoy seguro de que la gente vaya allí por voluntad propia.

After Norwegian comedy singer duo Ylvis ignited the world’s interest in sounds that animals make with “What Does The Fox Say?,” other artists have begun exploring these questions more in-depth. English artist James Chapman has created a series of comics comparing how different languages around the world write down the sounds that some of our favorite animals make.

The panels are a delight to see, with bright colors and cute animals. The comparisons between languages are also interesting, no matter what your native language is. Depending on what language you speak, some of these can seem pretty wacky. As an English speaker, the Dutch horse sounds pretty funny to me (Vrinsk?), but I also admit that, with a lame showing like “oink,” we can use some work on our pig impressions. Mice, cats and bees, however, seem to have inspired international consensus on the sounds they make.

Chapman is a PhD physics student and illustrator from Manchester who runs a great Tumblr featuring more of his illustrations, as well as one just for animal sounds. Check them out to see some more great work!

What other languages do you know that have cool- or weird-sounding animal sounds?

Amazing! Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada really pushed the boundaries on this one.

"For the 2013 Ulster Bank Belfast International Festival at Queen's, Cuban-American Artist, Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada, has created WISH, a portrait of an anonymous local girl photographed by the artist in the process of making a pure and simple wish for the future. Spanning an 11 acre site in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, the photographic image of this girl - made of topsoil, sand, grass and stones - can be seen from various locations around Belfast. This innovative public artwork pushes boundaries and uses cutting edge technologies, making it one of the most ambitious land art projects in the world." (Taken from YouTube.)

We're excited to check out these new works by Nick Georgiou.  If you're in NYC, definitely check out the exhibition at Opera Gallery!
