I made these for my Javascript homework, and I was really curious to see how my peers and professor would react to them and the project, but then I slept through my class :(]]> http://kingsquid.com/2009/04/-i-made-these-for.html http://kingsquid.com/2009/04/-i-made-these-for.html art beards illustration mustaches sadness school Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:57:31 -0800 I'll Guru That dot com Carlos Del Rio asked me to write a couple of funny articles for his website. And while I thought this would be merely an opportunity to make a couple of easy jokes about social media and web 2.0 design styles, it was actually the first in a series of stunning revelations.

All those years I spent being a dick on the internet paid off! Somehow, magically, through the sheer power of elitism and grousing, I had learned genuine information about things. Those articles are tongue-in-cheek, sure, but they are predicated on actual sincere facts. Real stuff.

More empowering than the notion that I am, after all, an educated, thoughtful designer is the idea that I can use this air of authenticity to tell bigger fibs than even before! So. As of today. I am officially offering my services as a guru. On anything. Anything at all. For the price of one coach airline ticket, a night's stay at HoJo, and a gift cert for Sizzler, I will show up at your conference and I will say words that sound intelligent. I will present thought-provoking ideas. I will have a slide show, containing no images of monkeys or crudely drawn penises (unless they intimately pertain to the topic). I will get a haircut and be 100% believably perfessional. No one will suspect a thing.

For a small additionaly fee, I will provide my own fake identity.

Initial sketches for my color theory final project. Whichever one I decide on, I'll be making into a limited run of silkscreen prints.

As per Anno's instruction, I have made a selection of very small birthday cards for our father, who I cannot link because he does not have a blog. Maybe next year we will get him a blog. This year, however, he will have to settle for a big mouthed, roly poly magician. ]]> http://kingsquid.com/2009/02/happy-birthyday-penn.html http://kingsquid.com/2009/02/happy-birthyday-penn.html art celebrity illustration tiny things Wed, 18 Feb 2009 05:27:41 -0800

Made these for the Panic Office 4.0 thing, which was completely crazy. There were internet celebrities everywhere. These two flavors were intended to compliment the sushi-go-round that was set up in the office, and despite their strangness people did indeed crowd around and go nuts for them. I did not get any pictures of people enjoying (or not enjoying) the actual ice creams, though, so these guys will have to do.
