I’m at the SFA2 this weekend in Kansas City, MO this weekend at booth 901. I brought some sold out prints and originals to schill. I’m also starving and would not say no to some shitty beer or respectable whiskey.

BRIANEWING:
Y’alls should be excited for this. @crankbunny is the biggest paper nerd I know. This is gonna be rad! Shit just got real!
Sneak peek and info for new Crankbunny How-to book series!
I haven’t been updating facebook and the official twitter Crankbunny shop feed. Busy busy me has been hunkered down writing and doing all the art for my latest book project. (Official name will be released at the end of May)
Unlike the last book - Paper Puppet Palooza - which was printed with a publisher, I will be jumping happily into the “self-publishing” pool and releasing the book through Crankbunny. This is something that makes me scream and growl with joy.
The new how-to book will actually be a series of small storybook tales that focus on making and learning how to make pop up cards, paper doll puppets and paper toys. Each book will have a few projects in them and focus on a particular paper craft technique (that way if you have NO interest in paper dolls, you can skip that tomfoolery).
Because it is self-publishing and printed in low runs, Crankbunny will have full control of the artwork, themes and content. I love how-to books —- but they are dry and never do a good job of fostering imagination and wonder. I believe only “hybrid storybook telling” and “instruction” can do this. Each book will make the individual reader / future creator feel special, unique and inspired.
The book series will also be chocked with fun personal extras that a large publisher would never be able to wrap it’s many cogged-wheeled head around. Like what? Well, one example is… Each book in the series will have additional project materials, templates and video content accessible only through the internet with special secret passcodes. Ofcourse, there will be a digital version of the book also available.
Stick a fork in me…I’m done. Waiting on approval for what color scheme they wanna go with.
This is a process pic of a poster I’m designing for @descadet ‘s band Des and the Cendents. “All” Lady Desendents cover band.
Somehow I slept for 15 hours. I feel awesome but now my sleep schedule is screwed up. This bottle of wine is helping me feel sleepy though.
Gonna watch madmen then pass the fuck out.

Stopping here for tonight. Bedtime for bonzo. My brain and hands hurt.
I focused on the areas that required lots of concentration. I have about 25% left to go but I’ll finish in the morning. I don’t want to rush through the last part.
So far this has been a fun and relaxing project. I’m stoked.
This is a process pic of the poster I’m designing for @descadet ‘s Descendents cover band - Des and the Cendents. So if you’re digging the photos I’ve been posting, you love coffee aaaaand pretty ladies singing Descendents songs then you need to hit Des up if you want one of these.
Gotta prep for the Spectrum convention this weekend. Mentally prepare myself to be stuck in a car with my buddies too. Orders will ship this week too.
Stick a fork in me…I’m done.

Done with the first side. It’s best to tackle the easy stuff first. The left side with all the muscles will most likely fuck my hand up. So I saved that for last. It’s gonna be a lot of coverage. My hand needs its beauty sleep. (Damn…so do I…)
More process on my poster for @descadet ‘s Descendents cover band. They’re playing punk rock bowling this year and you can pick up the finished poster there. Hit up Des for info.
Gonna go check out @coliseumband tonight at double happiness. I earned it.

Ain’t no turning back!
Ain’t no mountain high enough. Ain’t no valley low enough- to keep me from inking you!
Gotta skip coffee while I ink. Makes Brian angry and sorta stupid.
Process shot of a poster I’m doing for @descadet ‘s ALL-Lady Descendents cover band Des and the Cendents. They’ll be available through the band at their shows. Hit Des up fo mo info!
Listening to shitty r&b while I work.

Stopping for tonight. The hardest part was the hand. Anatomy books don’t cover the hand very well and don’t show it from different angles. So there’s a lot of guessing and license I hafta take when drawing them. Each time I do one of these anatomical pieces it feel like I’m pushing myself to do better than the last. Really happy with the hand because it flows.
This is for @descadet and her Descendents cover band. They will have them at their Vegas punk rock bowling show later this month.
It’s Beer:30 and I earned it. Gonna bully the jukebox with some frank ocean and Tom waits over at the St James tavern.

It’s gonna be one of those weekends. Starting on a poster for @descadet ‘s band des and the cendents. An ‘all’-lady Descendents cover band. This is gonna be some fun. Especially since I’m bouncing off the walls from drinking too much coffee to get in the mood. Pencils tonight and inks this weekend. Social life..? I know not such a thing.
Gotta prep for the spectrum fantasy art show next week. I’ll be at booth 901 (I think…)!
Taxi driver prints being prepped and shipped over the weekend. Thanks again to all that ordered. They sold out in under two hours! I have a few done on vellum if anyone’s interested.

Hey guys I just found out the @justlikebeing Just Like Being There documentary I was interviewed for is finally on netflix. I haven’t even seen it until today! It’s kinda weird to see myself talking….on netflix! So weird…freaking out. But I’m very proud to see all my friends and colleagues get a chance to be seen and heard. Now we’re all gonna be rich…right?
If you dig rock posters, movie posters and art prints then this flick is for you! It’s a pretty decent and covers what was going on in rock posters over the past few years. The doc centers on three artists Kevin Tong, Jay Ryan and Daniel Danger… all super-rad guys and artists… so I’m happy to have even made it in. I sound all smart and junk. Not an easy feat!
Check it out if you have time. Let Scout know what you think of this film. I for one want to do another gig poster after watching it. What’s it gonna make you want to do? Maybe they’ll do a sequel and call it “Just Like Ewing There”?!?!
