Calendar Illustration

This is my contribution to a 2011 calendar featuring the work of twelve Kansas City illustrators and cartoonists. For the month of April, I imagined some intrepid oral surgeons hunting the great white maxillary molar. For fellow dental nerds, they're wielding a Molt 9 periosteal elevator, 150 forceps, and 301 elevator. Anatomically correct teeth lurk just below the surface. Cartoonist Bryan Stalder was responsible for corralling and motivating the featured artists in the calendar, which is available for purchase here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/63426488/2011-calendar. 

Posters For Sale

In order to duplicate the experience of the concert merch table online, I'm selling 11"x17" color prints of any comic on this blog. All posters are $15 plus shipping, payable by check or paypal. Orders will ship promptly. Contact me at gsnider11@gmail.com to order. Shipping is $3 for domestic orders, more in Canada (I've always wanted to say that). I do international shipping as well, but rates vary.

From the Vault: Family Reunion

I drew this comic over a year ago, but I never properly posted the full version to my blog. Since I'm sitting bored at an airport, now seems like an appropriate time. The tie-dye coloring in the comic was taken directly from one of my parents' homemade shirts, which I scanned in and manipulated in Photoshop.

First Band Practice

This is a reworking of an unpublished comic I drew a couple years ago. This time, I incorporated the Edward Gorey-esque constraint of alphabetical text. It's worth noting that this band is influenced by both The Clash and Led Zeppelin - proof that love of punk rock and classic rock are not mutually exclusive.

The Cartoonist Speaks

 



I'll be speaking at KC's All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church (4501 Walnut) this Sunday, September 26 at 10 AM. The presentation's entitled "Drawings of Fake Bands, Strange Families, and Imaginary Places," in which I'll examine how tiny drawings in pen and marker grew to consume my very existence. I'll also discuss my influences, my haphazard creative process, and the dangerously glamorous field of newspaper cartooning. Fellow Catholics - I checked with the pope - this will fulfill your weekly mass requirement!  

Confessions of a Book Fiend

Update: In time for the holidays, I have 11"x17" poster prints of this comic (or any other comic) available for $15 plus shipping. Contact me at gsnider11@gmail.com if you're interested. I would include a used paperback book with each order, but I really do intend to read it someday.
