Rejects from a photo series I did for my friend’s band, Big Digits. That’s my creepy attic and yes, that is a can of black beans. Their show is smart, sweaty, and hyper-aerobic; you will lose weight just by watching them. They roam the country at least once a year, so try to catch them if they play in your town.
root beer
Almost a year back now, I wondered what really went into root beer. So I looked up how to make it. At the time I thought the recipe I found online from 1900 seemed like a great idea. Then I realized I either did something horribly wrong or people’s idea of root beer changed a lot in the last century. That batch turned out horrible. It was light yellow colored, had fermented too much, and tasted like a bad herby home brew beer. It was undrinkable. My second batch came out a little better, it was at least drinkable, although not very good. It tasted more of a week ginger ale. I decided this recipe wasn’t working for me. So I looked to find a better recipe. Finding one of the only books printed in the modern era on soda (specifically root beer) making on Amazon, I gave it a third go.
This is a photo of my third batch. Which I have to say isn’t perfect or completely there yet, but it has the right color, it smells like root beer, takes similar to root beer, and isn’t too bad tasting. There will be a forth patch with hopefully an even better root beer, but so far its a work in progress, and its more than half way there.
An acutely failed attempt to create a comedic sidekick for Luke’s comic book character, “Mandroid”.
Shit-for-Brains Action Stats:
- His mad-scientist creator is also a world-famous plastic surgeon to the glitterati of Hollywood. He used real DNA from scavenged bits of famous people (including smart ones) to create his brain.
- Unfortunately, the DNA was only able to create poo, but like they always say, “Home is where the heart is.”
- His heart is made of puppies.
When I describe my job I usually tell people that I draw butterflies all day, but as you can see I am a liar because I draw owls, mousies, kitties, and birdies too. These are strike offs of one of my favorite groups I’ve worked on that are in Oshkosh stores now (our website with retail should be up by the end of the year). Go buy one!
I’ve gotten really, really into making birthday cards for my co-workers, though I think the initial inspiration came from the piece I made for L-Word’s going-away party at Pio Pio.
This card was for William (in the back row, just to the right of Penn Gillette), whose b-day was yesterday and, I’ll have you know, was much appreciated.

F signature bags by Adam Fedderly. I have been making canvas bags the past few years. They continue to be a great way to express some fun. The concept is to keep our planet clean, while finding creative actions to do it.
