Morty T-Shirt

A couple of my co-workers arranged to have this t-shirt made for me featuring a panel from Cranium Frenzy #8.

Ten Seconds in the Life of Fenwick Green

Little did I know that when I drew three little panels for Cranium Frenzy # 3, those lines on paper would inspire my brother to write a play called Ten Seconds in the Life of Fenwick Green.

The image was also used on a few posters promoting the play, starting, I think, in 1989. It was also used on a t-shirt.

T-shirts

Actually I've covered the story of the OlyBlog t-shirt earlier this year. But it belongs in the gallery of t-shirts anyway.



Michael Dowers made this t-shirt in the 1980s (I think) using the Starhead Comix logo I drew.



From the 2002 AIE Summer Program, including Bezango WA 985 on stage! The images are from the comic series.

A page from Cranium Frenzy # 3 which was captioned "Three seconds in the life of Rindo Bloch" inspired this play by my brother, Bryan, and the original image was used in the t-shirt.

Cast member Jeff Kingsbury went on to be elected to the Olympia City Council for one term and his name became an Oly household word-- and not exactly in way anyone would choose.












I first drew the image for Woofer the Psychic Dog (co-written by Bryan) back in 1986 and it just keeps living on whether it is performed in New York or Olympia. To publicize the 1988 Oly premiere I created a long banner which spanned 4th Ave. about where the Danger Room is today.

OlyBlog T-Shirt

OlyBlog was one of the first community blogs in the country to bill itself as "hyperlocal" when it was started by Rick McKinnon in 2005.

In the early days of the blog we OlyBloggers would meet at the Brotherhood Tavern (locally called the BroHo) in Olympia on occasion. Some of us had a little problem about the caimans in Oly's Capitol Lake and made an issue out of it. I even drew a comic about the sordid affair called Fetid Lake of Doom.

Anway, I drew a logo for OlyBlog using the caiman image about mid-2006. As you can see by perusing through this Morty the Dog blog, drawing giant reptiles has been a theme of mine for years.

OlyBlogger Visudha De Los Santos, a former neighbor of mine here in McCleary, took the logo and produced about 10 or 12 of these shirts. They were distributed at the BroHo in January 2007. The shirt is blue and the logo is white, but my phone photos have sort of changed the color of everything.
