Description Spider. My bluegrass redneck-lovin' Charlie Daniels Band brother-in-law and his hair.

During any occasion held at my sister's first house, small clumps of puffy-jacketed pod-women would congregate, all the while briskly rubbing their scratchy plastic sleeves with nubby little fists and comment on how cold the weather was. I assume they were local - from within our solar system - and were in some manner related to one another telepathically.

Front and center is the father of my eldest sister's sons, Spider. Refusing to acknowledge the existence of temperatures all together he disdained the use of shoes, no matter how inclement. He would soundly berate me for acknowledging the existence of music beyond a certain time period or geographic local, scoffing hairily at my Pixies cd collection.

We still have a very genial relationship, I get to laugh at his wig-like fulsomeness and he quaffs port, decrying my taste in music.

If you are going to linger unobtrusively in the background of a photo, take note that matching your environment to nigh on the almost exact same lumpen tone of brown is highly recommended.

i really love this, great art. if this is done over a photo, you should leave the background the real photo in a couple, it'd be a nice contrast. great job

I have no idea how you do these photo illustrations, but I'm lovin' em'!
I've looked through the whole set and this one still stands as my fav. You've somehow captured all of the bad lighting and the colors of a truly bad (yet perfect) snapshot. I love the people in the back who are lifelessly looking on like deer caught in headlights. Are you a fan of C.S. Morse? He's a great comic artist that has a style very similar to yours.

His website used to be [link] , but when I just checked it out it has been changed to a comic book/graphic novel amazon shopper sort of thing. I have no idea why it's been changed but it now might be harder to find pieces of his work to look at. If you're really interested in purchasing his books, look up Soulwind, and Volcano Revolver.
He works in California as an art director and storyboard artist for Cartoon Network last I heard. Most notably, he was working on the entire run of Cow and Chicken for them as both art director and storyboard artist as well as doing a ton of backgrounds too for the show.

I love these pictures you've been doing. They have the spirit of candid snapshots, but a fun cartoony look. Can't say I've seen that often. Keep it up!
