My buddies Kevin Cross and Joshua Kemble of the legendary Big Illustration Party Time podcast are in a jam.
What is the Big Illustration Party Time podcast you ask? To borrow their byline – it’s “a podcast about the ins and outs of freelance illustration and cartooning”. It’s a GREAT show for artists and illustrators with lots of valuable content. The production quality of their episodes has been top-notch.
Recently, however, their recording equipment died, and to add to the woes, they don’t have the financial means to get new equipment.
Not wanting to sit around, myself, Jerzy Drozd, and Mark Rudolph (of the excellent Art & Story podcast), decided to help save the day by creating some pieces of art that Kevin and Josh can auction off to raise money to purchase new recording gear. All proceeds raised will go directly towards getting replacement recording gear.
Below are two pieces that will be available for auction:
1) original pencils featuring Bob and Kevin’s character Monkeymod drawn by Jerzy:
…and a color print of the above, inked and colored by yours truly.
Mark Rudolph submitted this gorgeous piece featuring BIPT host Joshua Kemble and Thadius Gizawatt, Mark’s own character from his incredible Mulligan’s Run book. (Obligatory plug: I have a copy of Mulligan’s Run, and folks – it is GORGEOUS – both from an illustration perspective as well as production perspective. The story is a Sci-Fi / action / drama extravaganza!)
Here is the piece Mark is submitting for the BIPT Benefit:
Update:And here’s another gorgeous piece by Mr. Rudolph:
Update:Even more wonderful pieces will be available up on the auction block in the next few weeks:
The energetic piece above was created by Kim Holm.
Update: Here’s a vintage poster with MonkeyMod and Pete Townshend (of The Who!) created by artist Thomas James:
And another one by Thomas, featuring Josh and Kevin!
Below is a collaborative piece featuring pencils by Jerzy and inks by Mark Rudolph. (That’s Josh hanging out with Jerzy’s character, Orange Guy, from The Front.)
And this beautiful pen and ink illustration comes courtesy of Mark Stroud:
Update:a bold new piece by Danno Klonowski.
Want more details? Stay ‘tuned to Big Illustration Party Time for auction info. Information will also be available here and also on Art & Story as well.
And if you’re a cartoonist or illustrator – and you’d like to help out Kevin and Josh by way of contributing your own art for the fund-raiser auction, please let me know. I’ll pass along your e-mail to Kevin and Josh. If you prefer to donate to the cause in lieu of art, you can click their Paypal button on their site.
Let’s make it happen for these guys!

Don’t forget to take a peek at Sunday’s bonus strip, in case you missed it over the weekend. Once again, I’d like to thank my friends Rasmus and Tauhid for filling in for me last week. The break was much needed.

Last week I worked on a logo / identity rebrand for Benjamin Fryxell’s MacMania podcast. Here’s what the logo looked like before:
And here’s the logo I designed, as it now appears in the iTunes Music Store:
More information on the rebranding is available, along with a detailed version of the logo.
Do you run a podcast? Does your podcast album art need a make-over? Or are you looking for a new design to make your show stand out? If so, e-mail me!
And be sure to give the MacMania podcast a listen!

Above is a sketch I drew of the erstwhile Dr. McNinja. I’ll try and ink this one up for Fan Art Friday here on the site.

It was spring cleaning time here at the Sadasivam household. This was inspired, in part, due to my daughter’s recent adventures. I tend to clean things around the house when I get upset (or when I am procrastinating). Fortunately, my studio needed cleaning. Here are some pics:
Above is my main work desk. I run two displays (one 19″ the other 30″). The 30″ display sits above my Apple IIGS.
Both displays are driven by my Mac Pro, bought last February. Ontop of the Mac Pro in this shot is my OneTouch 4 mini drive, reviewed a few days ago. The Mac Pro has 6GB of RAM and all its drive bays are populated with SATA drives ranging from 160GB all the way up to 750GB.
The erstwhile scanner sits above its stable perch, a stereo hutch I purchased some 20 years ago. Inside the hutch lives my Brother 2070N laser printer. Best printer I’ve ever owned.
This is my other desk. Aarti uses the G5 with 20″ Cinema Display. On the far left is my Macbook Pro, which I use primarily for school. On the far right is a new container I purchased to organize my supplies.
The Camel pencil box is something I’ve kept since 5th grade. It’s a momento I picked up from India.
Here are assorted sundries – custom stamps, magnets, and other goodies I mail out when people purchase prints or original sketches.
Above: all my DVDs are now organized on a spindle. Our bookshelf went from being a wreck to this:
By the time I had cleaned everything up, I’d calmed down. :)
Anyway, hope you’ve enjoyed the mini tour!
