And we’re off! The Weekly Print has officially started! “Wish You Were Here” is an 8″ by 12″, three-color print in classic red, gold, and black. Astronauts have the tendency to pop up in my work again and again, so this feels like a good start to the year. I have 51 more weeks to go, so I hope you’ll join me for the ride over at The Weekly Print!

Available in the Weekly Print store if you are interested.

Things are gearing up pretty well over at The Weekly Print. The first print is planned out, and I will be printing them this weekend. I will post the first print on Monday the 5th, but until then, there are still discounted subscriptions in the Weekly Print store.

The picture above is a box of 500 sheets of heavy 12″ by 18″ paper. Each sheet equals two normal Weekly Print prints, or one larger print, so the box above is probably only around 1/4 of what I will need for the entire year of The Weekly Print! Still, good (and cheaper) to plan ahead on paper needs, am I right?

In preparation for The Weekly Print to start next week, I made my first giveaway for the site, these pin-up shop calendars. Two colors, 4.75″ by 12″, and each one includes all 12 months of 2009! The blue dot in her hair is where I will punch a hole so it can be hung from any nail, hook, or tack you may already conveniently have in your wall.

While supplies last, these will be given away with any new print purchase or subscription over at The Weekly Print.

I thought I’d post a couple pages out of the old Moleskine today. I was drunk and watching Jason and the Argonauts while doing the linework on these two.

Did this at a restaurant yesterday afternoon while waiting for my food and looking out upon the horrible wintry slush of Portland. I really like the “Dirty Snow” lettering effect. The page wasn’t soaking up the dark gray ink I was using, so the letters just pooled until I got a napkin and slowly soaked up the liquid, leaving what you see on the page.

See that spot outlined in blue? That’s what happens when you get a little too close to the shirt with a heat gun while curing the ink. It’s actually much less noticeable in person than it is in the image, I had to make it stand out a bit more. Anyway, my mistake is your gain if you happen to wear a size XL shirt. First person to Paypal $5 (to cover shipping and the like) to bigtime@robopocalypse.com will get this shirt. To reiterate, it’s an army green XL.

For those of you not lucky enough to wear an XL, all other sizes and colors of the Whoa, Dang shirts are up for sale in my Etsy store. I recently listed the Hearts screenprint from last week on Etsy as well.
