Draw Diary

Last month, I did some illustrations for a book that would feature the best articles of cracked.com. The assignment was black and white, clear lines, comic book style. Anyway I kind of lost track of the editor in chief, so I don't know how the whole thing turned out, but here are three examples of what I did. My lines don't get cleaner than this I'm afraid!

I want more freelance work!
 

     

hey so i usually just post here about things i've done but i felt like sharing about some cool stuff i've got recently, maybe you will like it too.


WARMER by Aidan Koch




this girl sure knows shit. the drawings are awesome, accurate lines that grab and put you inside of her eyeballs, seeing what she sees, and suddenly, crumbling apart or smudging in passion or peace.
this small comic doesn't have much of a story, i think it would be more of a poem with drawings. It's so cozy it'll have you reading it again and again. You can get one from aidan's etsy shop. She also dropped me in some extra stuff, which is something i really really love when I buy something from the impersonal INTERNET world.



BLACK MASS #1 by Patrick Kyle



patrick is one of the three woweezonkers and this is his solo debut comic........wait, if you havent heard of woweezonk i strongly suggest you go click here and buy their comic first!!!!! Anyway. In this comic, patrick's melty drawings drip drop in dumb stories about spells and the occult and punk and drunk puke. Anything that combines all that shit must be good, and this is good. So if you want one, go to this entry of their blog and send him in some of their wierd and mysterious canadian dollars.



MISEEN by Sarah Welch



this book may seem a bit expensive at first, but behold, it is worth it! This thing was printed in a huge format, comes with a hand painted drawing inside and is filled with chunky screenprinted drawings that illustrate the anecdotes of sarah as an almost blind being. Myself being a pretty blind one too, found this a very nice and funny way of showing people how is it to live in a world of assumptions.



MILKY WAY SHUFFLE by Chris "Elio" Eliopoulos



Elio makes really funny stuff for "all ages", meaning by this that his stories are simple, but not in any ways dumb. The drawings are awesome, and they will grab you and swallow you, dragging you through every page until you reach the last one, in which he will make you an awesome sketch just for you!
you can get one of this for real cheap at his website.



LOSE #1 by Michael Deforge



There is no way to describe this. it is just so good. other people have already reviewed this to death, so i can just say that, it is probably the best comic i've read in all the year. also, something you can't tell just by the beautiful previews deforge has in his website: the printing is awesome, the paper is super slick... that is always something that gives me an extra pleasure while reading something. get it now or else!





..........and i'm desperately waiting for Steve Wolfhard's cat rackham to be put in print!
it's just too good!

Hey, my burger lovin' secretary robot Secretary Bot is here to tell you the store is open! And also that she's depressed because everyone hates her. Click through to the store and maybe buy something perhaps to make her happy (don't feel pressured)

The URL became active! Also, I added annotations to a lot of the images. One day I will get to the point where the work will speak for itself, but that day is not today

A group of poet guys contacted me to design the next four numbers of their magazine, Trifulca, and the first number I did is out! It's in duotone and contains 32 pages of poetry and short stories by young emerging authors from latin america. I did a lot of illustrations for it too. They pretty much let me do wahtever I wanted, so it was a nice gig. They picked the printer, which turned out to be really good.

They gave me a big bunch of them, so if you want one, just paypal me 3 usd at gatosaurio@gmail.com and i'll mail it to you with other misc things i can gather. And yes, it's all in spanish... so you can get practicing! haa







También si alguien de acá quiere uno, pueden depositarme por cuenta bancaria. serían 20 pesos con envío incluído. también si quieren cosa de nuestra tienda, ahí en la están los precios en pesos y nada más sería agregarle el envío que suele ser como de 10 pesos. Ahi si gustan, escribanme a gatosaurio@gmail.com

Hey, I completely redid my website up at http://www.maudevintage.com/jamesharvey. Tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions. The image after the logo is randomly generated! refresh for new ones. There should be some artwork some of you haven't seen on this site, so have fun lookin' for that. The store's not up yet, but it'll mostly just be links to things already available to buy like my prints, t-shirt, stickers, things. I also registered a URL but it will take a while to activate (lame). [UPDATE: IT ACTIVATED, WWW.HARVEYJAMESTM.COM/]



Click through to play with the shiny new buttons

Something that worries me is that a lot of the artwork on this site is unattributed- should I annotate the galleries and say where the stuff is all from and who it's for, or should I leave it a mystery?

I bit the bullet and made a facebook fan page about me because I sure am my biggest fan! You can find a link to that from the site.

Lastly, I would like to draw special attention to how nice that donate button looks :-3 :-3 :-3 :-0 X-X

reworked this:

a nice write up and photos of my recent show over at Fecal Face by J.L. Schnabel.

http://www.getgrossedout.com/ is so good I wish I had done it! Now I know what I want to do with my life. I am going to run all my drawings through this site before I put them online. It gives everything you put through it an instant riotous energy that most of us only wish we could attain in our work. This drawing was boring before!



Also, look! Jigglypuff is gettin' a taste of his own medicine, right here:



I wonder if I would sell a lot more prints like this



N.B. buy a print

my good resolution for 2010 is : spend more time making comics
