The Earwolf Tumblr
It's a Tumblr celebrating all things Earwolf! I'll be posting podcast-inspired sketches, designs and illustrations nearly everyday. So start following. For the best experience, be sure to keep up with Earwolf's latest episodes, "and I'll see you at the movies!"
NERD POKER
I do not think that there are words known to humanity that could describe the level of excitement that housed itself in my body for the duration of this project. Brian Posehn. Dungeons & Dragons. Swords. Armor. The universe was truly looking in my direction the day this project landed in my lap.
Brian wanted to lean on the 2nd Edition D&D books, and feature him on a horse with a sweet blade. Holy elder gods, yes!!! It was like he KNEW what existed in my sketchbooks already. I took to the pages and started to get in the groove. I had a few false starts in Photoshop before finally getting final line art nailed down on bristol board. Scanned that into Photoshop and proceeded to finish it all up.
I’m super stoked with how it turned out. If you’re a fan of Brian’s or of Dungeons & Dragons, I implore you to go listen to the show.

SHORTWAVE with Grant-Lee Phillips
It’s pretty crazy the caliber of people I’ve had the pleasure to work with at Earwolf. Grant had an awesomely distinct style and direction in his head and it was easier than usual putting it together.
I came back with seven or eight design options and the lead image was chosen. This was a really satisfying project to work on that matched a lot of the aesthetics I’m naturally drawn to. Just being able to be so minimal and structured was super satisfying.
I did all the exploration in Illustrator and was able to just really let it flow out and move from one idea to the next. You can see how some ideas lead to other executions. I’m still really fond of that sea foam color. There’s just something really soothing about it. I think one of these days I’d like to take some of the discarded drafts and explore some poster interpretations. We’ll see…
If you like hearing about a musician’s craft, give the show a listen! Episode one features Aimee Mann.

E N I G M A F O R C E 5, motherdickers!
I needed to stop tweaking and just post this thing. 1st one is still absolutely my favorite. It’s the most legible. Thoughts on this?
Fucking. Brilliant.
The Poet Laureate of the West. From this week’s Comedy Bang Bang!
Also, Number Two in my line of kinda legit-looking fake comedy books.
