The other day, my friend Tim McGee was asking about using tools like Inkscape and the GIMP to switch out faces on famous paintings, such as American Gothic, with those of his friends. I gave him a short demo with two anonymous faces I found on the web, but I decided to use the very same technique to simply switch the faces of the father and daughter in the painting.

My good friend Robert Mangold reacted to my recent adbuster about Burger King with the thought that he expected to see a commando heart ready to fight. I loved his idea, and may still directly sketch that out, but it inspired me here to make a heart attack more in the vein of what he was describing than what most of us think about with the phrase “heart attack”. Thanks for the inspiration, Rob, as always! If you like this image, please share it. If you use it, please attribute me, and thanks! (cc-by lemasney)

I made this to more or less commemorate that, just like baseball, I’ve never been very good at video games.

This is for my good friend Angel who has asked me to do some sketch work regarding the signs of the zodiac. It’s amazing to listen to her understanding and beliefs about the reliability of the zodiac’s predictions about one’s personality. I’ve always been interested in the interpretation of who I’m supposed to be according to these expectations, and I have to say I think I’m a lot like the profile. This is my sign, I’m a cancer.
