The other day my girl said, “You know I love you, right? But if you ever became an out of control social deviant and started doing really sick things like cannibalism of voting Republican I’d have to leave you. I mean I’d try to get you help first, but if I couldn’t help you, I wouldn’t be able to stand by and let you do something like that.”
Seems reasonable…
Ex-Boyfriend is kind of a collaborative label, I want to draw silly stuff like dinosaurs double fisting 40s, my girlfriend tries to get me to draw things other people like. As a result I’ve started a one for me, one for you approach to my designs. I do one illustration that few people are likely to find as amusing as I do, and one that everyone else is likely to appreciate more. My most recent take on this aesthetic is this guy:

It’s what I believe would happen if the cover art from Death Cab for Cutie’s Transatlanticism had a love child with the cover art from the Wye Oak Album. I know you probably don’t really see it, but that’s okay, I wasn’t trying to actually copy the cover art, just the aesthetic.
Cats are awesome, therefore I am in the process of designing more kitty themed apparel. Unfortunately, clothing featuring kitties is often the look favored by frumpy, suburban housewives. I’m working cat apparel of a different ilk. So meet the new kitties:

Fuzz Aldrin is a space kitty, exploring the depths of the cosmos with great curiosity. Fuzz has made several missions to mars, the moon and Endor (home of cute space counterparts the Ewoks).

Mr. Meowgi is a wise old ninja, taking on the bad guys with his fast flying paws of justice.
Fuzz Aldrin and Mr. Meowgi are part of a series of upcoming kitty characters to make their way onto clothing and accessories available from Ex-Boyfriend.
Speaking of kitties, apparently the Japanese are also crazy for them. Of course who can resist that sort of cute?
Crazy racist Ashley Todd thought it would be a good idea to tell people a black male Obama supporter beat her up because she supports McCain. I have to admit, this is the first election I’ve ever cared so deeply about that I’ve given up what little cash I have to support my candidate, even though I am a broke student with little cash to be had. Crazy Ashley Todd has me so disturbed by the people on the other team that it gave me a little extra push to sacrifice my Saturday (tomorrow) to go up to PA and canvass for Obama. This is despite the fact that I am working full time and going to school full time (thus I have little free time) and this is despite the fact that I am in the midst of finals. This is how much I care about this.
So thanks, psycho, for the extra push to get my ass out there and work harder at making Obama our next prez.
These are the most ridiculously adorable photos ever!


A delightfully hateful photo of Piper Palin flipping off a little boy. How long until this one gets knocked up?
