sorry i've been dark! i'm on tour with the band mose giganticus playing guitar. i drew this lady on the tourbus today on our way to savannah. whoop!

:: drinking and drawing ::

brett and i at the frederator drinking and drawing!



huzzah!

and a life update:

my crazy adventure hath begun. i'll be starting a new blog to chronicle my 7 month tour mascarading as a guitarist with band mose giganticus at the end of the month. i just moved all my belongings to philadelphia, and am currently just outside of washington dc where i hope to be purchasing a guitar amp today.

things are moving so fast and for the past couple weeks i've felt like i'm just part of a lucid dream. but i may be back in NYC this month for some freelance before i head out. we shall see!

take care all! if you'd like to receive an anti-valentine from me, drop me an email! tomsmo@gmail.com

:: positive role model ::

no time means no new content! here's something from my freshman year in college. it's one scene of 3 of similar length and structure of my short "positive role model." i did it with crayons and a flatbed scanner. light tables and crayons aren't friends.



i apparently hadn't learned what framing is yet.

i got a B.

music by bursting mosquitos [ie. me, bob, jon, doug and ryan.]

:: "in lieu of recent events" or "i am the day of current taste" ::

at the IFC theater here in new york i recently saw "the future is unwritten," a documentary on clash frontman joe sturmmer. it was fantastic, i highly recommend!

then this past weekend i needed to take a break form pale force for a bit so i did some sketching and watched a documentary called "tales of the rat fink," about ed "big daddy" roth [the creator of ratfink, the printed t-shirt, and had a huge influence on design and art in general, in awesome ways...]

also i now own a scooter!

so this is me combining all these elements. that's not my scooter though, that's totally a lambretta, i have a vespa! haha!

i have this theory that the whole driving feeling of the motorheads and their hotrods could totally be applied to scooters. lots of scooters are old and need a lotta work and maintenance [like mine...yowza!], it'd be sweet to soup em up. and it's not all mods vs. rockers anymore. i feel like scooters and the rockabilly world can totally get along.

so this is my rudefink, my contribution to said cause.

maybe i should paint this, it'd be kinda fun.

i have another animationy project in the works too right now, i'll post that soon.

:: wha? ::

haha wow what a string of lame posts! no worries awesome stuff on it's way!

:: halloween cat ::

here's a little nugget bob made 2 years ago and i just made a beautiful soundtrack for...that lovely song in the middle is from a cd bob [http://tehfuzzbomb.blogspot.com/] got by sending in the back of a frankenberry box...

vote for it on newgrounds!!!
