I was happy to draw the logo for David Gutowski’s new food blog, 3 Squares. (Meg and I were also happy to be David’s first guest bloggers.)

Here’s a few process doodles from my sketchbook:

LYLE LOVETT AUSTIN CITY LIMITS TAPING

Lyle Lovett Austin City Limits Taping

This was the 11th Austin City Limits taping that I’ve had the pleasure of drawing, and the last ever ACL taped in the historic 6A studio on UT’s campus. It was quite a night–thanks to the ACL folks for having me!

TELEPORTAL READINGS 2.1

Teleportal Readings 2.1
Experiment with Pano on iPhone + hand drawing — see it much bigger!

I doodled the most recent Teleportal Reading for the folks at Electric Literature.

Teleportal Readings is a multi-media reading series in Austin, TX, which really shakes up the reading. Their most recent event featured Jennifer Egan and Maira Kalman reading live, with a video reading by Doug Dorst, as well as an EL Single Sentence Animation by Joanna Neborsky, and synthy sounds from Silent Diane.

It was so great to meet Maira in person. Her work is amazing.

Funny note: it was so dark where I was drawing that I didn’t notice I was drawing with a red Sharpie! Had to fix in Photoshop after I scanned them.

MUSIC BY THE CREEK

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

sketchbook by the creek

My friend Jason Molin and his band played the coolest little lunchtime show on the UT campus this afternoon. They played from 12:15-12:45 so everybody could get there and back on their lunch break. Really cool idea. Great tunes, and great weather. (See my sketch.)

POETRY, OR, HOW MUCH IS YOUR LIFE WORTH?

Monday, April 19th, 2010

True story, as told to me by John T. Unger during our Art Heroes interview, except I think it was $5.

“You wanna buy a book? It’s ten bucks.”
