OLD FRIENDS FOR SALEPART ONE (?) OF ?????? Finally caught up on mail, which means I am gonna put some leftover drawings and prints up for sale! DISCLAIMER: I take forever to mail anything, but I make up for my tardiness with plenty of guilt bonuses - zines, other prints, comics, drawings, whatever. So basically the longer it takes to mail it, the more junk I end up adding to your tube out of shame! Also, if you write me a polite e-mail being like "excuse me mister free spirited artist i don't want to disturb your quiet meditation and vegan cupcake baking sessions but i placed an order for my prints about one month ago and my mailbox still seems conspicuously empty" or even if you write me a rude e-mail being like "HEY GIRLY MAN WHERE IS MY PRINT IT IS LATE AND I NEED ITS THICK AND POROUS CARDSTOCK TO SOP OUT THE GREASE FROM A CHICKEN MCNUGGET" I will actually respond to you honestly and not be one of those weird sketchy Paypal dudes who ignores e-mails and then you have to publicly call out on message boards (I'm looking at you, Gigposters.com General Discussion Forum.)  El Paso Hot Button collaboration with Nate Duval. 18x24 silkscreen! Nate is a genius printer, check out how slick these look. $20.  Wolf Eyes collaboration with Nate Duval. 18x24 also! $20 also!  THE DIRTBOMBS?? WHAT YOU SAY???? Another Nate Duval collaboration????? This is less colors, printed by Toronto's own Jesjit so-and-so, 18x24. $15 because the paper isn't fancy. I don't have a lot of these left!  Some weird art print I designed! Jesjit printed it. Why did I make this thing? There are only like 30 of these. 18x24, two colors, some fountain thing going on for you hippies, $20.  Collaborative print with Tooth/Dale Flattum! 2 colors on fancy paper. 10x10. $15 for this one.     Do you like tiny little lines???? Do you like on 8x11-ish paper????? Do you like having the pin marks already punched in on the corners of the drawings you buy?????? WELL YOU ARE IN LUCK, FRIEND! These black and white drawings are 30 dollars each.  What is this thing? It's like a zine that turns into a poster or something. Jesjit printed it, it's two colors. I guess if you can't decide between having a book or a poster, this thing is for you? Or if you prefer your zines to be sort of difficult to read? Or if you prefer your posters with lots of folds in them, and maybe some small cuts down the middle? It actually looks sort of nice in person. 8 dollars, not many left! Things are tight around the old DeForge household, so I would appreciate any purchases! Shipping factored into all the prices, unless you are overseas, in which case please add 5 dollars to the Paypal thing! My Paypal is michael.deforge@gmail.com, and I probably won't accept cheques or money orders unless I really like you, or you are using one of those fancy e-cheques or something. P.S. E-mail me or post in the comments section if you have any questions, or if you have any requests for things I've made that you don't see for sale but you suspect might be for sale! BABY I WILL ATTEND TO YOUR EVERY NEED.
 This past school year, I showed my classes selected bits and pieces of the 1998 NBC TV miniseries The Odyssey.  As a tool for illustrating difficult sections of the epic poem, the movie has its' strong points (the Calypso scenes are pretty good, and also was hilariously clear that most of my male students want to bone Vanessa Williams) and it's unbelievably weak points (wooden acting all around, awkward CGI that hasn't aged well) but I remember enjoying the spectacle of the thing when it first aired. It got me thinking... what happened to the high concept TV miniseries? When I was growing up, there were plenty of 'em... both new and in reruns. These days, not so much. I remember loving it when our cable provider finally hooked us up with the SciFi Channel and I was able to watch the Nazis-as-aliens run amok series V on four consecutive nights. Ditto The Day After, a blearily depressing take on nuclear holocaust in America. There were other series that ran on a similar theme- I've heard mixed things about Amerika, a "What if the Russians won the Cold War" series whose concept really sparked my imagination. For a number of years in my teens, ABC was committed to making quality high concept mini-series, usually opting to adapt Stephen King novels for the small screen with mixed results. When those King minis were good, the were stupendous. I'm an unerring fan of their adaptation of King's gigantic good-vs.-evil opus The Stand. Even if it was less satisfying for those who loved the novel, ABC's version if IT has fans even today- my students referenced Pennywise as one of the scariest modern day monsters during an earlier lesson on the monsters of Greek myth. .jpg) For a TV movie that was made almost twenty years ago, and when you consider the budgetary restraints a production like that was under... for jaded teenagers who have "seen it all" when it comes to horror movies to even remember Pennywise is a big thing. It must be said however, that for every good King mini-series, there was something like The Langoliers, a strange melange of time travel and bad CGI monsters that looked a lot like Pac-Man. Also, the mystifyingly boring remake of The Shining was pretty self-indulgent and languid. Still, more of the King minis were good than bad, and that's something. NBC too was in the game, albeit with taking a "classier" route with adaptations of classic literature with the best special effects of the time. NBC's version of Gulliver's Travels with Ted Danson was decently accurate, if I remember correctly. At the very least, they addressed more of the various destinations that Lemuiel Gulliver encountered than most adaptations usually do. I also enjoyed their version of Merlin (starring Sam Neill) so much that I bought a DVD of it in college... although, admittedly, I found it in one of those giant bargain bins full of DVDs at my college's local Wal-Mart. I suppose the day of the network television miniseries has seen its end, at least in a way that even attempts to cater to my interests as a viewer. ABC and NBC have had "world in peril" meteor mini-series on this summer, but they weren't appointment television, by any means. The major networks have seemingly ceded the genre to cable and pay television, and I've enjoyed a bunch of those (HBO's John Adams absolutely floored Ellen and I last summer) they don't have the same feel as some of the series I listed above. It's a pity in that when network TV got it right with a TV miniseries, they became a phenomenon. ......... The internet was invented by military bigwigs so that we could share pictures and videos of cats.

Ghost World. 10" x 13" colored pencil, ink, and acrylic paint on paper.
This is the first in a series of drawings I'm doing based on characters I love from different films, television shows, or anything really.
1. What is your favorite vegetable?
2. What is your favorite salad dressing, sauce, gravy, or condiment?
3. What is your favorite culture's food (American, Chinese, Creole, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Soul Food, Southern U.S., etc.)?
4. What is your favorite beverage?
5. What is your favorite food?1. I like broccoli a lot. Green beans when they're in season, but we eat more broccoli. 2. Caesar dressing is usually what I use on salads. I don't eat a lot of gravy outside of Thanksgiving. 3. I like Mexican food best these days, or more specifically, Tex-Mex. 4. Water. Boring, but that's pretty much all I drink. Occasionally I treat myself to a gallon of Newman's Own Lemon-Aided Ice Tea, but those are fewer and further between these days. 5. Ellen makes a chicken pot pie that I love, but if pressed, her pork chops are my favorites.
Some sticky note sketches from work and some drawings I started just before my grad show and finished a few weeks ago. I can't remember what I was thinking about when I started drawing them, just that I was tense but full of ideas. One of the stickies is a drawing of my friend afo as a yoyogi park greaser. He's in Korea this summer and he's grown his hair long enough to wear in a sort of samurai bun on the top of his head. I'm gonna draw that next. I think the images from the peter bjorn and john music video got into my head. After I did the drawing it took me a while to track down the source of the inspiration. I'm not crazy about the song but the yoyogi greasers are super cool. I'm inspired. oh and the top right sticky sorta reminded me of two people as I was drawing her. One being the great and powerful ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) magpiette sua.
