THE CLOUDY COLLECTION!
Hey guys check it out I'm in the new Cloudy Collection! JIGGY-WHAT-WHAT??
The Cloudy Collection is a somewhat quarterly series of prints by cartoonists and designers, organized by head honcho and Drawn alum David Huyck. I met David last year at SPX (you can see him here at left toasting it up with me and Scott C. and Kate Beaton. Man that was a good time. I made a comic about it if you remember. This parenthetical aside is running on forever though, better close it up), and he was super cool, a class act with great taste in glasses.
So what to my wondering eyes should appear a few months later but an invitation to participate in the next Cloudy Collection! Previous partipationists include the aforementioned Scott, Steven Weissman, S. Britt, John Martz, Meg Hunt... oh man there are way too many to list, but they're all primo, which makes me blush all the harder to have been included. This new set had a theme of "Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood?"
As the son of a carpenter, I've spent pretty much no time in life building anything, which is a pity. So I built up some two-dimensional birdhouses for this little guy, and then installed a noisy neighbor to annoy them. Noisy neighbors = the worst neighbors. Maybe a single step up from like serial killer neighbors, but it's a close one for sure.
Guys I think you should go buy a set of these--they come as a set of 7 for $35, letterpress prints on fancy-dan paper in two pleasing colors (light blue and a warmish grey). The set includes me as the least famous person, just check out the others:
Scott MacDonald (I think his sea captain is my favorite SSHHH)
Laura Park (who I love and who is SO AMAZING holy cow how can that much raw awesome live inside one little person?)
Claire Robertson (artist and maker of handmade things and sewer and whoa)
Dave Taylor (preposterously amazing designer)
Bob Flynn (insane inker and Spongebob artist and tons of other stuff)
David Huyck (who is an awesome dude and fresh illustrator and amazing designer--I love the layout of the Cloudy site, it reeks of good clean informative design)
And a portion of the proceeds goes to charity--you want to help charity, don't you? Sure you do! Okay that's enough talk--go get on that thing. These little guys are going to look SO GOOD on your wall, or be JUST PERFECT as a nice little gift for someone, or really DO THE JOB cutting cocaine or whatever it is you do in that sloppy apartment of yours with the blinds drawn all the time.
