Kelv’s team was eliminated very early from the World Cup.
In their first World Cup match against Belgium, team captain Grügn Kagkk stabbed an opponent with a dagger. When the referee gave him a red card, Kagkk stabbed him as well. As he was led off the field by police he remarked “You are giving me red card, I am now give you red blood stab.”
Kelv lost every game after that. Most of the players disappeared within a week of returning home in defeat.
Sketchbook exercise # 278362
Every so often you should draw your apartment down to every small detail. When you look at it years later, you will remember living there. Here’s a drawing I did of my bedroom from my Senior year of college.
If you dig this, check out this other one.
Dwight Schrute.
He’s always up to something.
Hungary
When I was at my grandparents apartment last month I found this etching I made for them a few years ago. It’s important to mess around with all kinds of mediums and techniques.
Oh and yes.. it does kinda look like Kelv.
WEIRD MOMENTS IN ROCK HISTORY: Elvis Meets Nixon.
December 21, 1970- Elvis secretly drops by the Oval Office. He gives Nixon a gun as a gift and Nixon gives him the honorary title of “Federal Agent At-Large” for the Bureau of Narcotics (irony!!). They discuss how the Beatles were an evil influence on the nation’s youth and how maybe Elvis could help to end drug use among the hippie population (!?!). Then they say goodbye. You can’t make this stuff up.
WEIRD MOMENTS IN ROCK HISTORY: Spector and Manson
A crazy rumor I heard: Musical murderers Phil Spector and Charles Manson are both serving time in California’s Corcoran State Prison… apparently Charlie has been trying to get Phil to produce some of his new songs. But Phil isn’t really interested. Maybe because he used to work with real talent like The Beatles and Leonard Cohen …. or maybe he just doesn’t have access to mics and a mixing board in maximum security.
BTW: Did you know that the Beach Boys once recorded a creepy Manson song before the murders started? Oops.
WEIRD MOMENTS IN ROCK HISTORY: Slash vs. Predators
I read Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash’s autobiography recently and found this anecdote to be pure madness. After shooting up cocaine in a hotel shower, he started to hallucinate that there was an army of Predators trying to kill him.
“I just ran… fully naked and bleeding, down the fairway, away from the army of Predators… running at top speed through the resort with a translucent army at my heels; the colors and scenery only added to my dementia”

Here’s a creepy portrait of Abe, made entirely with rubber ink stamps
Kanye West
Every year the music blog Hype Machine asks artists to create portraits for the top 50 artists. This year they asked me to do one for Kanye. Despite his weird ego tirades, I’ve been a fan since his first record. The songs are almost always great, and what other rapper is so supportive of animation? He’s either used or referenced Bill Plympton, Ralph Bakshi, Takashi Murukami, and Jim Henson to direct his videos!
