Coco gets you Wired

Here is a great article on Conan's fall and comeback via Wired Magazine:

Then, instead of leveraging all this webby goodwill into another traditional late-night berth on a rival network, Conan made a deal with the modest basic-cable network TBS. What just a few years ago might’ve been spun as an ignominious exile to the media hinterlands was hailed as a stoop-to-conquer masterstroke: O’Brien essentially traded a gas-guzzling 3-ton network Cadillac for a light and maneuverable hybrid that runs on viral clips, not raw, brutal Nielsens.


More importantly here is the great accompanying artwork.

Carnival Wedding

Check out these pictures of this awesome themed wedding.

This best part for me as an artist is my friend's poster for the wedding:



I love the bride as the tightrope walker and the groom as the ringmaster.

It was drawn by Frankie Franco III, a great artist, my friend and coworker. If you need a wedding poster done make sure to visit his website.

Calvin and Han?

This shirt design is AWESOME!



I love this homage to Bill Watterson. You can sense the passion by the artist in this drawing. He replicated the inking in those newspaper cartoons expertly.

According to Chris Wahl, the artist, it combines his "two favourite things growing up- Star Wars and Calvin and Hobbes."

Buy his Chewie and Han shirt.
