I just want to give a hearty hooray to Communication Arts for spotlighting Penelope Dullaghan in their latest illustration annual.

It’s one thing to be supremely talented, it’s another thing entirely to create a portal for illustrators (from all walks of life) to showcase their work - I’m speaking, of course, about Illustration Friday, one of [...]

Neat little chat device that I predict will never ever be used on Thumbtack Press, but here’s hoping. I’ll try to use it and maybe we’ll cross paths. You can use it on your site as well!

P.S. I am becoming increasing engulfed in web 2.0 and AJAX. Suddenly the rest of the web is [...]

While being in a new town is great, I’m starting to feel the pangs of disconnection from all things that were once familar and that I took for granted. I’m looking forward to . . .

  1. making friends up here (I don’t know anyone, this sucks)   2. finding an awesome park where I can read and/or [...]

The one style that was always missing from Thumbtack Press, in my opinion, was a really good side show banner artist — well — we now have the best in the world, Johnny Meah, also known as the Czar of Bizarre!

I told you I’d be back to business on this blog, buddy boy. Jeremiah Ketner makes Thumbtack Press a little prettier, a little nicer. His work makes me want to hold my wife’s hand and skip in the sunshine. Here’s review from his website that sums it all up for me too

Jeremiah Ketner puts sugar [...]

Love it! I promise to start posting regular stuff soon - this was just too good, especially Arigon’s entrance. www.thumbtackpress.com

This isn’t really art-based, but I’m so pleased to hear that there still intelligent people in Washington D.C. making intelligent decisions on behalf of the intelligent people they represent.

From the Associated Press

WASHINGTON - The Senate rejected a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage by a wide margin Wednesday, delivering a stinging defeat to President [...]

Today is the National Day of Slayer. If you haven’t listened to Slayer, fuck it, you never will. If you have listened to Slayer you know and understand.

I bought Show No Mercy on cassette in Junior High School (I’m 35 now) and loved it, wore it down to a warpy, melted, pulp. I bought God [...]

Nick Dewar has just become the most prolific artist at Thumbtack Press with 33 prints online! He even added some new scantily clad ladies that makes me feel all warm and funny. This one’s got a nice rack. www.thumbtackpress.com

I’d like to welcome Chris Silas Neal to Thumbtack Press. The thing I like most about our selection is how different and unique each artist is. I often get submissions from very talented illustrators, but I don’t sell two somewhat-alike styles, and I never will.

When I was a mail boy at Disney Studios in [...]
