I thought this would be interesting to some of you. Because I use this site for my paintings, I have some reluctancy here. But I decided to show some of this because I don't want you guys to think I am all "paint only". It's so damn far from the truth. I was able to draw in Adobe Illustrator before I could with a pen.

So... If you have ever wondered who does the little graphic nonsense (nobody ever gives a shit about) on the Venture Brothers... Well, that crap falls on me. I guess I shouldn't say "falls" on me, because I kinda pull the pile down on myself. I am all extra persnickety about these little details. And... so is Jackson. We love to get this kinda crap "right". Jackson has come to save these little graphic jobs for me to do. Why? Because I am a nut who will spend way too much time on it, and do it for free. If I don't do it, I see the results of a little gem in the making left in the hands of an overworked animator, and I flip-out, like a child... "Ahhh, come on! It should be way more cool than that!" So I do it myself. You guys will never understand how much little pieces of shit Jackson and I have to do ourselves... Thankless crap. Yet... It's worth it. Isn't it? We think so.

This is the cover of the Guild of Calamitous Intent Handbook used by the Monarch (and Hank) in "Are You There God? It's Me Dean". I want Adult Swim to use it as the cover of a notebook. They make this fake Venture Brothers book that is kinda goofy. I mean, I like the idea, but they missed the mark on the illustration. I think my guild cover would be cool if it were used as one of those stupid notebooks... I'd get one. And, Jackson should do a cover of Giant Boy Detective as one. Don't know, might be too insider for those skittish guys at [as].

All done in adobe Illustrator 10, made nice-nice in Photoshop... No clip art is EVER used.
