What Are You Thinking About, Log Lady?

Reblogging my own post because GOBLIN. THE GOBLIN. IS IN BALTIMORE. TOnight. And I'm gonna see them and wear my own dumb shirt and it's gonna be the strangest, most rad time, and everyone? go ahead. be jealous.

"Suzy, do you know anything about…witches?"

Suspiria, a masterpiece by Dario Argento. This trippy, amazingly surreal horror film is the subject of my newest tshirt design for Pizza Party Printing's upcoming movie night at the Ottobar. They'll be showing not only Suspiria, but the 1989 horror, The Church (paired with a fucking metal shirt by Jimmy Giegerich), so if you’re in Baltimore at the end of the month, be there! Immerse yourself in blood and beer (and the music of the one, the only Goblin). It’s gonna be spooky.

The Suspiria shirt is up for sale now at Pizza Party! Pick one up while you can!

Hey there, jewel eyes. I made new Loot bags for you...

Printed by the fine fellows at Pizza Party. $15, available at SPX. 

If you play today’s ultra-sweet Google Doodle Global Candy Cup, you can see my illustrations when you beat the game with the witch of your choice! I created the share images that you can post on Facebook or Twitter. You can also read about the personalities and quirks of each character here!

It was a lot of fun to work with their adorable character designs and to have a chance to flex my hand-lettering muscles. The game was designed by Sophie Diao, who also created all the assets, and animated by Nate Swinehart. Engineering by Ariel Lee, Maura Fitzgerald, Kris Hom, and Corrie Scalisi. Music and sound effects by Aivi & Surasshu. Thanks to my ADs Sophie Diao and Liat Ben-Rafael for including me in this super fun project!

Go play it! It’s pretty dang charming.

New illustration for the New York Times Letters section. This one's about reigning in health care costs by taking away numerous, sometimes needless testing rather than rationing who gets what care. You can read the article here. Art direction by Alexandra Zsigmond. 

"LOOT" tote bags! Get them for $15 from me at SPX!

They're perfect for holding your zines, your sketchbooks, magazines, or LP's. These were screen-printed by the great fellows at Pizza Party Printing in Baltimore. 

Back, spectre!

Spending some time with a style I rarely get to spend time with. Working this way is so much fun.

Say! Thanks for the love! For Freddie. Obviously ♥

If you've been wondering how & where you can pick up a copy of one of my zines, comics et/ou Loot bags, I have good news: you can now purchase either or all of those things at my new store. Quantities of all items are varied and limited across the board (there are only 6 copies of "Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri & Familiars Arcane" remaining for instance), so get them while you can.

You'll also find copies of my books at locations around the country: Floating World Comics in Portland, OR, Chapel Hill Comics in North Carolina, Big Planet Comics in DC, and Atomic Books in Baltimore, MD.

Thank you, thank you to everyone who's shown such enthusiasm for my work. It's been a great month.

*Update!*

Preorders for The Warriors baseball tees are up over at Pizza Party!

Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to submit art for the twin peaks zine, or if you're just selecting from certain artists you know. I'd love to make sure that there is some log lady coverage in the publication, but let me know when you have the time. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm late in replying to this. Sorry about that!

I've been asked this question many times now, so consider this my general answer to everyone. Thanks so much for asking, but unfortunately, I invited the artists in the Twin Peaks zine to take part privately, so submissions were never open. This is my first anthology-style zine, so I debated for a while whether I wanted to open up submissions for it, or curate artists by invitation. In the end I felt more comfortable asking artists because I simply wasn't sure if many people would respond to an open invitation. But folks seem really psyched about it, which is just fantastic, and even though the zine is now full-up with artists, it appears an open call would have worked out fine! I'm only sorry I can't make a book out of everyone's work. Next time, if I make another one, I plan to open it up for submissions.

And don't worry! The Log Lady will get plenty of love!
