And The CUPID Goes To...

design for the "ghettoManga Award" Trophy (click to enlarge).

the awards are also called "Cupids" (like the Academy gives out "Oscars")

"Cupid" is the name of the ghettoManga Mascot. i'm actually working on some comic book stories for this character waaaay on the back burner... for reference i used this photo by A Blind Vision Photography. her work features EXACTLY the kind of women i like to draw, so you'll pro'lly see me ref'ing her stuff a lot! hopefully, i'll get to actually make these trophies eventually! i already have my eye on the sculptor... we'll see!

anyways... if you wanna know who the ghettoManga Award winners for '08 were, go here

buy a print of the image here.

FINALLY!!!

Who Knew? The product of a single-parent houshold and biracial son of an immigrant, Barack Obama has become what most Americans thought they would never see in their lifetime: the America's first black President!

so to commemorate one of the most unlikely events in American history, i'm making my illustration President Obama the Image of the Month for February. i became enamored with the Illinois Senator at the beginning of the primary season, and once the Iowa vote came down, i thought he could actually win it. although i disagree with him on some issues, and i get concerned with the unrealistic expectations some people seem to have, Obama's manner and intellect are what i want in a politician.

anyways, President Obama (like other Image of the Month alumni) is available for purchase in the Ziontific store on gear and posters in multiple sizes.

Sketch Portraits are BACK!

by popular demand i brought back $25 Sketch Portraits, to help pay for all the supplies for the shows i'm doing this year (similac isn't cheap either)! and now you can get that joint on a Calendar print or a tee-shirt as well.
one'a these stylized sketches would make a great gift for a friend or family member (or just get one for yourself!)
anyways, it's first-come, first-served... so get in where you fit in, family!
