I've collaborated with Sweden's Helena Sundin (Cake on Cake) on a brand new song. I wrote the song, Helena sings, (What's that you say? You like it when girls sing pop songs with pretty accents? Well, it's your lucky day!) and Andreas plays the bass. It was comissioned by the great Norwegian music blog Eardrums for their upcoming compilation of collaborations.
I also created a comic that goes with the song and a screenprint of the comic, up for sale right now on Nakatomi.

Every year I make a special Valentine for Sarah - this year was #5 in the series, and I screenprinted an image of the hearts and arrow patterns from her engagement diamond. We got engaged on August 14 and will be married April 17 on Kokomo Island in Jamaica. That's soon!

I'm playing a live show on 1/26 at the Carousel Lounge here in Austin Texas.
If you live anywhere near an airport, you should fly in!

If you haven't listened to my music yet, I understand. You imagine that it is bad, because most cartoonists are very horribly dreadful at making music. But my stuff is good. I promise!
For proof, just click on a poster below and listen on 'Myspace'.
And note that 'myspace.com/jacob' is not a Twilight page - it's for ME! Go Team Jacob!

I created a screenprinted poster for the show that's up for sale on Nakatomi. (Only 12 of each color!)
This is the first poster I've done 'all analog' - I drew the artwork and the color layer on big sheets of vellum, then burned the artwork directly to the screens.

I recently designed the icon for a new i-phone app. called 'Hodgepodge', featuring 'Hodgepodge the Hedgehog'. It's a handy twelve-in-one toolbox utility. Click on the link to go to the Apple Store and get your own free version!

Three new screen-print releases are now available on Nakatomi!
It may be that there are people you like, and all-too-soon those people will expect gifts! These new prints are sure to fit the bill (pun intended), and we can almost (almost) promise with certainty that these offerings will win you favor and dinner party invitations throughout the year to come.

'Jet-Pack Snow-Pea' features Snow-Pea the Dog escaping the fence once and for all, or at least for two small fuel-tanks worth of sweet jet-pack freedom. As Maltspeare himself proclaimed, "It is better to have rocket-propelled and run out of fuel than not to have rocket-propelled at all."

'Creebobby Money, Series #1' features everybody's favorite five dollar Cretaceous Orator, Preserver of the Pangean Union and author of the Lactation Proclamation, the Great Pest from the Midwest, 'T-Rex Lincoln' himself! Also included are irresistible 'One Dollar Cakes', harmonious 'Ten Dollar Ukes' and indulgent 'Twenty Dollar Undies'. These four bills come in a matched set of four 8" by 10" artist-pulled signed and numbered screen-prints sparkling with iridescent money ink and creamy cream money paper. Rich indeed. Backed by Platy-platinum stashed in the Creebobby vaults, these notes are certain to perform well, especially when compared to the too-heavy metal Robot Yen and oft-troubled Vampire Euro. Only twenty full sets of all four were produced, limited by the naughty-chic only-twenty-in-the-world exclusive undies.

'T-Rex Lincoln' is also available solo.

They're all up on the Creebobby page on Nakatomi.

If you live in Austin, you should come out to the East Austin Studio Tour this weekend, November 21 and 22. All of my screenprints will be up and available, including 5 brand new prints!

This humble offering is my remake of the coveted 'Star Wars Style D' poster for the Star Wars Uncut project on Vimeo. (See the two clips I made below!)
I went Star Wars crazy the last couple months, but I'm better now, I promise! (That is, until Halloween, when I plan to dress up as Sexy Wicket. . .)

The long-awaited 'Official Creebobby Comics Archetype Times Table' screenprint is now available! I pulled these prints by hand at the Nakatomi printshop here in Austin, and they turned out marvelous. This print will look equally at home framed up in a new baby boy's bedroom (I know you know of one!), or in your office, below your 'Doctor of Rocket Science' Diploma. (You can always fake one.)

It's available in two colors:

First we have the standard edition; Sonic Blue and Pearlescent Midnight Blue in a signed and numbered edition of 50. (Click to purchase!)

Next we have the 'Platinum Edition'; Metallic Silver and Pearlescent Midnight Blue in a very limited signed and numbered edition of 20. (Click to purchase!)
