A belated update on a couple recent projects:

The Cincinnati Fringe Festival begins this week, and with it performances of the Tangled Leaves Theatre Collective’s new play, Vortex of the Great unknown.  The full poster (designed by yours truly):

Additionally, I was recently commissioned to design a log for Steampug Studios (no relation), an upcoming indie game designer.  The concept was originally envisioned as a straight adaptation of the original steampug image, but it evolved quite a bit through the creative process, for the better, I think.

The Further Adventures of a Silly Idea

The talented Professor HerpaDerpalus has used SCIENCE to summon Steampug into the third dimension.  He has also been given a nifty propulsion system.

…It should also be noted that the good Professor suggested as plausible an origin story as I’ve heard: “some mad inventor thought his dog wanted to see the world and made a baloon for him, not realizing the dog will end up a tiny skeleton attached to a baloon in a bit.”

For now, a much higher quality image of our dashing hero.  Prints and shirts and whatnot are in the works.  Soon, soon.

Adventures in Memecrafting

A couple months ago, I drew a very silly picture based on a fragment of a late night conversation.

This is Steampug.

 In the approximate month-and-a-half since Steampug rode his zeppelin into the strange aether of the internet, he has cropped up on a number of sites, including tumblr, where he has received 2,044 loves/reblogs (as of yesterday).  This is more than the total hits to date for this website, and probably more people than have seen any one of my “serious” pieces.

So… t-shirts?
