The Tiki God of Coffee meets a Jumping Flea

Finally finished the ukulele I've been messing around with on off and on for a little over a year. Turned out pretty nice, I must admit. Though I always had the inkling to make some cool looking ukes, it wasn't until I had to come up with an idea for a friend's birthday gift that I found direction.  Not long ago he had started a coffee business based around a tiki / hawaiian mythology, and had tapped me for some tiki art for the business, which seemed perfectly suited to a ukulele migration.

The best part is that most of the difficult design work is now done, and I'll be able to produce more of these relatively easily compared to the initial prototype.

Meltor Attacks!

Here's a lil' something I just completed for an xmas party gift exchange.  If I get the time and gumption, I might take a crack at animating this little scenario.  Just what lays in store for the poor little snowman?  Seems to me, he's in a bit of a pickle. 

In Zero

Just finished scoring a scene for In Zero, an independent sci-fi/fantasy film series shot in and around Detroit.

Meet Dr. Surfinstein

Just finished a new surf-rock tune, "Meet Dr. Surfinstein."

The POTLUCK II opening night at Pr1mary Space in Hamtramck couldn't have been better.  I don't think I've ever

seen the place so packed!  Standing room only.  Hardly space enough to move, breathe, or even breakdance (Perfect environment for dropping stealth mad-ass though).

Food was great.  Art was great.  Company was great.  The positive energy in the air was palpable.  AND some people actually went home with some official Shtephenshwagen(tm)!

These are the two that sold, in addition to some assorted prints & buttons.

"What did you say about my glasses?"

"More Trouble Ahead for GM"

Thanks to Carrie and Jamie, P-Space proprietors, who encouraged me to get some things together for the show.  I couldn't have done it without them, or even conceived showing my doodles in public was even an option.  Especially alongside "real" artists who pretty much dwarf my skillz.  I think the last time I ever sat down with the intent to draw or paint I must've been, like, 13.  So now I'm picking up at the level I left off at.  Guess I'm still a kid at art.  What fascinated me then still fascinates me.  Robots & boobs.  Heh, that'll be the title of my very first solo show. "Boobs 'n' Bots."

p.s.  show me your doodles
