About lil’ ol’ me. 2012 Milwaukee Film Festival Poster. 10/23/2012 at 10:55 am. From July 1 until October 19, I spent my days (and some nights) working for the Milwaukee Film. Before my gig ended, Blyth (incredible boss, filmmaker, Director of Marketing) handed me one of the gigantic posters from the festival (designed by Cathy B. of Loneshoe Graphics. And asked me to draw all over it. The photos below are the end result. Entry filed under: Commission. Tags: 2012 Milwaukee Film Festival. Darby's Sec...

MEMORIAL CARDS |
https://dwellephant.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/memorial-cards
About lil’ ol’ me. 05/21/2012 at 2:11 pm. A few weeks ago, I talked about being approached to use a piece of mine for a tribute card, to be handed out at a funeral. (And how being asked such a thing is simultaneously flattering and humbling.) I posted the piece here. But finally received the actual printed cards in the mail. If the printer is reading this, they turned out great:. On the back, an old Scottish saying:. It translates to, “Long may your chimney smoke.” Man, do I love that! Go, Frank, Go!

PAST HONORS PASSED |
https://dwellephant.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/past-honors-passed
About lil’ ol’ me. 04/26/2012 at 1:59 pm. Five years ago, I created the above image. Words and image. And in case your eyeballs are broken, the text says:. No one will ever forget that strange day. When the fattest pink pig at the fair flew away. The onlookers theorized great explanations. But the truth was an answer with no complications. The fat pig was angry where his life was heading. A destiny gruesome he’d always been dreading. In his fat heart he knew how he wanted to be. I apologize for not knowi...

About lil’ ol’ me. MORNING WARM-UP – A.A. BONDY EDITION. Warmed up this morning by lettering out the lyrics to an old A.A. Bondy. Tune I’ve been listening to on repeat all week. It’s called “Killed Myself When I Was Young,” and you can click here. To listen to it. I keep thinking these lyrics would look great painted on the side of a train, each line a different car, so when it is passing through, you see the story roll by. 05/11/2012 at 12:08 pm. No one will ever forget that strange day. This is the sec...

The Birth of a Free Library |

About lil’ ol’ me. The Birth of a Free Library. 10/25/2012 at 10:50 am. Back in July, I received a blank Little Free Library to paint. What the hell’s a Little Free Library? Here’s another article. Too) I think I was approached by my pals at MARN. When it showed up to the workshop, it looked like this:. So I did the only reasonable thing I could think of paint it orange:. Just like a giant library, every Little Free Library has a roof. Which I also promptly painted orange:. The top of the roof:. Other 3/...

RAPPY HALLOWEEN |
https://dwellephant.wordpress.com/2012/10/30/rappy-halloween
About lil’ ol’ me. 10/30/2012 at 10:16 am. Last Saturday was Made In Milwaukee’s “Creatures and Creators” event at Turner Hall. Since I fall under both categories, it was inevitable that I’d be asked to paint live art there. I was up in the balcony with the rest of the artists. I was the only one, however, who painted rappers. SOLD) Run DMC were the first two I painted. They’re also the only two I technically painted as monsters. SOLD) Turning this shape into Big Boss Rick Ross was an absolute no-brainer.
