Ian and Ted's Picture Pages is on strike!

SOPA is a very real threat to our beloved internet.

January 18th we're going on strike!

Ian and I saw this coming, so in essence we've been on strike for about two and a half years now.

Many other popular websites (Reddit, Mozilla, etc.) will be on strike on Wednesday, January 18th.

To be honest, I kind of feel like the piano tuners local 412.

Surprise!

I drew this pic for some coworkers. It took me about two weeks.

Not because of it's technical awesomeness, but because I'm a lazy bastard.

Everything starts with "T"

My first assignment for my Children's Book Illustration class.

Italy!

So I've decided to whore myself out.

I have opened a tshirt store and I decided it would be a good idea to put some of my drawings on tshirts and try to sell them.

Check it out!

Ugh, I'm ashamed of myself.

Check that, I'll be ashamed of myself if I actually make any money.

My Super Girlfriend

Evolution of Intelligent Design

Well, Ted is busy having adventures in New York City, and I've been having some adventures of my own here in Minnesota. Most of Ted's adventures no doubt involve hookers, LSD tabs & giving false names to the NYPD, while mine have mainly involved my cat Lewis, whom I adopted two weeks ago. Needless to say, we've both been neglecting our blog for quite some time now, so I thought I'd share one of my recent design projects here--in sort of a step-by-step series that reveals a bit of my process in creating a graphic design. This one was for a theatre friend of mine, to be used for her acting/voice-over website.

Remember that time Ian and I both hijacked his iMac?

But seriously, stop using this effect for your facebook pictures.  You suck.


I showed Ian the wonders of photobooth, and this time we joined forces to create some wonderful pictures.

Remember that time I hijacked Ian's iMac?

Ian and Jill were nice enough to let me stay with them for a week and a half before I leave for the big city to pursue my dream of not living in a frozen wasteland rife with Puritanical liquor laws.  I used Ian's computer to take some headshots that are sure to launch me to fame and fortune in New York CITY!

Happy Birthday Mr. President.  Your pal, Kanye West's white cousin, Ted West.

Here's a part where I'm pretending to be a tiger with glaucoma.

It was a hard winter back in '08...maybe someday we'll find our piece of the pie.

Kum & Go actually exists.  No really, it does.  They're all over the place in Wyoming.  REALLY!

Shoot him!  He's the real robot!  

mmmCOMPUTER CLAN COMPUTER CLAN COMPUTER CLAN PICARD WAS MUCH BETTER THAN KIRK TEN MINUTES TO WAPNER MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

These two are both for my album cover when all my other dreams fail and I decide to become a Christian Rock Star.  

Peace out Minnesota.

It's August!

And who knows what this month will bring? Maybe fame and fortune. Maybe Ted will finally get off his lazy ass and finish that children's book. Maybe Ian will drop Ted like a bad habit the instant something better comes along. All we can say is that we'll get some more crap posted.

Also, I'm moving to New York City in September. My time in Minnesota is at an end, and after the past 3 years, I'm ready for the big city. In the meantime, enjoy this lovely picture of Ian and I, and we'll start up this bloggy nonsense soon enough.

MS Paint Coloring

I labored over the hot laptop that belongs to my parents today to create this fine specimens. Notice the varied color palette. Aren't you jealous of my digital design prowess?

Photoshoppe Colouring

I own the computer that was built by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs

My computer is made of granite and I launch my internet application by chiseling MS Dos language into it with a sharpened bone fragment and a rock.

Seriously.

Sean Wendt: He's the man. He's the MAAAAAAAAN.

Kind of.

This is my roommate.

He looks exactly like this.

Happy Birthday America!

Another heartbreak

I probably was fishing around some deep seated emotional scar tissue when I came up with this one.

Enjoy my pain!

Ooh, Sexy Boy

I tried some colored pencils this time. This guy looks kind of like my high school psychology professor who really hated my wacky antics.

Collaboration: Part II

This is another doodle that Ted, Corby and I (Ian) made together over a couple beers last weekend. I decided it would be fun to color it and make a 3-panel strip from our sketches. Ted did the sun, I provided the moon, and Corby is responsible for that slut, Mother Earth.

Preggers

This is Ian, posting on behalf of Ted. While he does NOT have access to the internet at his new job, Ted DOES have access to everything he never wanted to know about his coworker's womb. Hang in there, Ted.

Collaboration!

What do you get when three astonishingly brilliant forces combine to create a collaborative work of genius? Well, frankly, we don't know either. But at least we tried. Twice. P.S. Ted is the Scrabble king, and the M***y P*g got OWNED. ;)
