Deadlines are the best time to draw exactly what you’re not supposed to be drawing.  ”Hey, Jhonen, where are those designs we needed yesterday?!”  ”Oh, I didn’t do those, but check out this drawing of a giraffe drinking a soda like he’s a person or something.  And look at this cloud.  It’s raining crabs!”

Okay…back to work….

I read JtHM when I was in high school during a school spring break trip to Italy, and I really enjoyed it. I’d never been exposed to art in that style before, and the little between-comics with words all in the margins and difficult to tell from borders was fun, although they bit hard to read while on a bus without getting carsick. It’s pretty dark and the protagonist is surprisingly likable despite his flaws. I’d say it’s pretty messed up and scary if you’re not prepared for it but golly gee willikers was it entertaining when I first read it.

ALERT: PYRO-BEAR

Thanks, Noel

a bit low on the wtf quota recently in here. thankfully, this.

Another one, this one clearly from reference as opposed to memory, and though there’s a slight jump in the quality of presentation, you can still pretty much feel the presence of the bear that always shows up when I try to draw women.

To be honest, the bear WAS there, but I cropped it out.  I should stick to writing.

As President, I’ll end Rick Perry’s and his kind’s ability to process oxygen, or just send him to space where there is no oxygen. Perhaps I’ll alter his physiology so that he can only breath gay people, thus requiring him to desire the very existence of that which sickens him. Picture it, a constant flow of tiny gay people flowing in and out of his lungs as he screams for Jesus to help end his torment.

This video about sums up my weekend thus far.

i..what? (part 2)

jhonenv:

A fan spotted this while wandering the streets the way all my homeless fans usually do.  I’m not really sure what the artist was trying to say, other than “Here’s GIR eating a cupcake like he seems to”, but it’s still pretty funny to see so big on some, certainly very angry now, person’s wall. 

What we’re not seeing, what’s clearly hinted at from just off to the right of the photo, is the Cupcake God ejaculating hot frosting at GIR’s face.  

jhonenv:

This is an unused drawing for a Johnny C. statue.  Still circling around a design but this earlier one is probably a bit more insane than the final will be.  Ultimately the thing will focus more on Nny and not include his otherworldly roommate.

i forget what the C. stands for :( must re-read..

jhonenv:

When I think of people furiously clicking away at their keyboards, carving their fiery, unfiltered thoughts onto the skin of some internet message board that THE WORLD MAY KNOW THEIR MIND, I instantly flash forward to when mankind is no more.  I imagine the sentient machines from another world combing through the rubble and dust that remains of our once great and absurd civilization, piecing together a disintegrating puzzle from fragments that maybe once meant something to something.  

The beings from another world, from a time yet to come, they’ll never know that soandso2878 got furious about Spiderman having natural web spinners or how indignant some guy got about Kraft changing the packaging of his favorite snack cheese.  What was wrong with the old design, goddammit?!  The servers upon which those invectives burned likely ran down not long after the creatures, demented by leisure time, ceased to exist.  

When I really give thought to what constitutes a majority of the internet, I feel that itch, that nagging reminder that I’m not one of those future-machine-things, sifting curiously through foreign antiquity, I’m snapped back to the horrible reality, Matrix-style, gasping and appalled, and, strangely enough, covered in slime.

Then someone makes something like this video, forging something fantastic from the very shit that it couldn’t exist without!  Makes it better, ya know?

2:30 - bee-ah-coo-azz. priceless.
