if : canned

For this week's illo friday all I could think of was the tiny fish in cans. This comic was pretty much straight from my adventures abroad. One day I had no idea what kind of pizza I was ordering and ECCO! little tiny canned fish!

if : sour

Wow, Two posts on Tuesday! A good week for teh intarwebz? Anyway, this week's illo friday topic is 'sour' This was something I was already working on and figured it would fit, because you'd never know it but things are pretty sour between the salt and pepper. Which one is the favorite??

Seriously? Worth checking out!

What's worth checking out? Ratatat's new album, which I just downloaded for 8 bucks. That's not much for such quality tunes. Dig it. It's killer.

Nullsleep

Hello hello!
This week brings with it many things to keep me busy! This past month has namely been filled with work for an upcoming joint show with Mackenzie Martin for the Lebanon art walk,which is not happening this month until the 11th, as first friday is a holiday. Hopefully I can get some pictures from the installation/opening. Expect to see them here. In the meantime, I encountered some pretty awesome chiptune websites. The first one is micromusic where you can download lots of sweet tunes. Some days I really get in the mood for chiptune, this site is always a nice to place to head for those moments. And then there was yesterday, when I found the artist Nullsleep Not only is his music worth listening to, with complex and intricate melodies derived from NES and Gameboy sound components, so are his other ventures into creativity, namely his New York ROMSCAPES. Seriously...awesome.

Wooed by the Devil....

So I was going to write up a little post about our new kitten and how it is waterproof. It was climbing onto the kitchen table and, despite copious amounts of water flung via my hand from a mug of water, it remained curious and not even remotely bothered! Clearly this kitten must be genetically engineered. Perhaps we are looking at a new stage of kitten evolution. Even worse than antibiotic-resistant bacteria are waterproof kitties. Seriously, option two would be that the cat is not a physical entity, but merely some sort of astral projection. Either way I WAS going to write that both options mean that the kitten is most likely the vessel for the Antichrist, or, if nothing else, the Antichrist's freak hell cat pet thing. So then I was going to photograph the cat with my camera phone and then photoshop seven-ten other heads onto it. Probably give it red eyes, basically...the works. This of course, would be an accurate image of what the cat will one day become. So I sat Takun down for a photo shoot and just could not bring myself to photoshop it, it's TOO CUTE! Clearly it's Antichristical (yeah I know I made that word up, but use it a few times and you'll want it to be a real word too) kitten, it even causes my snarky photoshoping abilities and desires to turn to butter before it. So just um, watch out. I'll be watching for when it grow that second head, THEN we'll see if it's too cute to photoshop then! Meh.

Wow it has been a long while hasn't it?

Hello everyone! What a busy past month it has been! Exciting things are underway, in many areas of my life, including working on planning for a wedding in January! I did the designs for our cards and they look pretty great, though now we have to cut them all out. '~' Ah but let's see, in the realm of art I know I want to illustrate children's books and I've been working on some projects lately that aren't computer based. Though I know what I am doing there, I just feel like there is something to doing it all by hand. I completed this piece a little while ago but am very, very pleased by the turn out. Right now I'm sketching and trying to work on what comes next. The idea will come, I just need to plug away at it for a while.

if : wide

Oh it's been so long since I put anything up for if and just as long since I put anything up on my blog! Dear goodness, I haven't fallen off of the earth though dear friends, but a lot of the stuff I have done isn't digital, meaning I need to actually take some time scanning and whatnot to get it all gussied up and presentable!

if : homage

Here is my homage to Daft Punk! They are certainly masters of their craft. Discovery is one of my most listened to albums, and their Live album is quickly on its way up there too. Mix on!

Here's a little something new that I've been working on for a while. Just wanted to try something a little more loose and definitely pleased with the results!

Here was an idea I had yesterday. I liked it, sketched it, and whipped this up. What do you think? Could it be a worthy t-shirt? Also I'm really becoming a fan of a weekly art update of something or other, maybe not a comic but just something I did. What do you think? I'll be aiming for a comic next week, I had another project on my plate which is taking my time right now! '~'

if : multiple

Hey everybody, here's my if post for the week. I took the idea from the Wikipedia article on Dopplegangers :

"Abraham Lincoln

Carl Sandburg's biography contains the following:
A queer dream or illusion had haunted Lincoln at times through the winter. On the evening of his election he had thrown himself on one of the haircloth sofas at home, just after the first telegrams of November 6 had told him he was elected President, and looking into a bureau mirror across the room he saw himself full length, but with two faces.
It bothered him; he got up; the illusion vanished; but when he lay down again there in the glass again were two faces, one paler than the other. He got up again, mixed in the election excitement, forgot about it; but it came back, and haunted him. He told his wife about it; she worried too.
A few days later he tried it once more and the illusion of the two faces again registered to his eyes. But that was the last; the ghost since then wouldn't come back, he told his wife, who said it was a sign he would be elected to a second term, and the death pallor of one face meant he wouldn't live through his second term."

Also, big changes over at my website. You should check it out. snaderillustrator.com

theory

Hey everybody, it's a new comic! This is my theory on blind spots on trucks. Though I suppose, if the ninja was in your mirror you wouldn't see them anyway...hmm.

Hey everyone,

I came across this yesterday. Definitely an interesting mix here. I'm not sure what else to say beyond the fact that I'd say it's worth a listen. In my opinion, a worthy tribute.

if : plain

This guy is hardly noticeable, he's so plain looking... glad I got somethign up this week, almost thought I wouldn't.

Here's a new idea I had. A single self-contained strip O comics. I want to try to get a few up in the next couple of weeks to see which route I like better, story installment each week or something more like this. Check back and let me know what you think!

if : soar

Here's something I whipped up back in April. Wow, I actually had something that went with this week's theme that I did previously! Big news this week, moving, starting a new job and beginning a new year! This week holds big things and I was glad to be able to participate without too much work this time around. Also I have a website you should all check out : www.snaderillustrator.com Under the "downloads" link there are free cell phone wallpapers I made too! Happy New Year!

if : horizon

Here is is, Horizon! I haven't done something for IF for a while but now I'm back. This was just something simple and fun that I whipped up. What do you think? PS there is a brand new website up you should check out as well! It's my very own slice of internet!

Something random, made last night, in the middle of the week because I can! I have a wacom, I can sit down and doodle and VOOM finished product.
