(The dinosaur one came out a little too dark, so I have to modify the colors)

When I earn back the $11 I spent buying proofs, I’ll upload more different other designs. FOR YOU.

I made a fabric.

You can’t buy it, though. I have to spend money to be a “seller.” Maybe later.

Merge Records SCORE! CD

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

A flickr follower mentioned this came out, so now I can post about it—
Merge Records: Mindy's CD

Mindy Kaling’s Score! CD from Merge Records.

"Mindy Kaling is a writer, co-executive producer and actor on NBC’s The Office. She is also the founder of Pitchfork Media and plays ethnic percussion for Arcade Fire."

I only had three days to do this.

Christmas Retrospective

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I didn’t have time/motivation to make a Christmas card this year. Luckily, it being the end of the Zeros, I instead give a brief retrospective of cards of the years past. (The ones I already have on the internet, anyway.)


Christmas Card 2003
2003. I lost this scarf immediately after making this card.


Cakey's Xmas Card
2006. This is actually Cakey’s Christmas card, but I made it.


Santa
2006. Inside: “Hoping your holiday season is relatively free of traumatizing calamity.”


Christmas for Breakfast CD face
Not actually a Christmas card, but an album you should buy


Sterling-Cooper Christmas Party 2007
2007. The Christmas card that changed the course of my career and indirectly dictated what I would be doing for the next 2+ years. (Made for actor Rich Sommer.)


Happy Holidays from S.C.
2008. This one was for sale in my brief career as a copyright-violating media profiteer.



2008. We delivered on the promise, too.


Merry Fishmas
2008.

Merry Fishmas, everybody!

Make Your Own Calendar

Make-Your-Own

A lot of people want a Mad Men Illustrated calendar like the one I did last year. I can’t legally make that, so I made a set of calendar pages that you can assemble with pictures from this flickr set to make your own.

This download is JUST THE CALENDAR PAGES —no images. You can pick and choose from this set to make it on your own with your home printer.

I am on Design Chat tomorrow

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Additionally… though I suppose it is unlikely anyone will check this in time, I am doing a video-chat-call-in show called “Design Chat” tomorrow at 8 PM. The topic is design and based on the other ones, a bit about advertising/marketing/social media. (It’s a “call-in” but you do it with twitter.) Basically, it’s a high-tech pillory where you tweet questions at my head instead of rotten potatoes.

I encourage ringers to “tweet in” with softball questions like “How is it someone as beautiful and talented as you can be so amazing constantly?” or “Now that you’ve tamed the internet-avatar-making world, can any man tame your restless heart?”

http://www.designchat.info

Watch for tweets about upcoming shows from @hupajoob and @designchat. We’re trying a new format using Mashable.com’s Chat Lounge. Anyone can watch but you will need a Twitter account to participate and log in to the chat. The new time slot is 8pm on Wednesdays.
Before and after the chat you can follow the discussion at twitterfall.com/#designchat
Submit questions or topics for the special guest to @designchat.

My interview on AMCTV.com

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

I’m mainly putting this here for my parents

My Interview on AMCTV.com

Read an interview with me where all my libelous statements, pointless tangents and attempts to be humorous have been edited for space. Making me seem quite dull, but less hate-filled than usual.

My interviewer talked to be on the phone last week and, god bless her, had to transcribe the whole thing and then get it down to 140 words. Unfortunately, I am not a succinct, focused speaker (nor have I what would be called a “pleasing” or “articulate” way of speaking) so a lot of things didn’t make the cut.

Things cut from the interview:

  • My association with the UCB Theatre; general discussion the alt-comedy scene in NY
  • A list of the album covers I’ve done; general discussion of the pop-punk scene in NY
  • A short history of post-war illustrators I admired
  • My advocacy of a human cull and general endorsement of eugenics
  • Copious swearing, ethnic slurs and general abuse
  • My opinions of Wacom tablets (hint: not fond)
  • 20 minutes of sobbing
  • My ultimate ulterior motive of taking over AMC from the inside and forcing them to show There’s No Business Like Show Business and A New Kind of Love every day like they did when I was in high school
  • Read the interview

    Candy-Colored Avedon Hang-Out Chronicle #5

    Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

    #5: Ashley

    FRIENDS PROJECT

    This is my friend Ashley Ward. We had brunch 2 weeks ago, after a couple months of planning. (She is very busy often.) We tried to go to Shopsin’s (as seen in the movie "I Like Killing Flies") but it was too crowded so we went to Supper instead.

    She is very Southern. She had a great grandpappy named Zelma and pronounces "father" as "deddy." We went to Tea & Sympathy (a British tea shop here in NY) at 11 AM and she ordered a coca-cola. Her high school was the site of a syphilis outbreak AND a redneck vs. vampires showdown.

    You can enjoy her star turn in Disco Janitor

    Candy-Colored Avedon Hang-Out Chronicle #3-4

    FRIENDS PROJECT

    #3 & #4: James & Mufridah
    These might be the only non-comedy scene people I know.

    Last Saturday we took a trip to the Bohemian Beer Garden in Queens. Since I’ve known James he’s lived in NY, Chapel Hill, LA and Paris. The economic downturn repatriated him to his father’s house in Pelham a year ago and this is the first time we’ve managed to hang out since then, so we double-dipped and hung out again on Monday.

    They were entertaining a guest from France so we went to the Rainbow Room at the top of 30 Rock, then back to the East Village for yakiniku and bizarre-amazing cocktails at Angel’s Share.

    James is the creative engine, lead singer and sole constant of America’s favorite band, The Kung Fu Monkeys (previously drawn here). He is a snappy dresser.

    Mufridah works as a teacher. The top scandal at school was an unknown student smeared another girl’s name in shit on the wall of the toilet. She tried to remember if she had held any kids hands that day. She is holding Angel’s Share’s "Quintessence," NY’s finest cucumber-based libation.

    A Child’s Treasury of Beau Brummelism

    Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

    I actually did this a while ago, but I ran it by people to make sure it wouldn’t be considered "creepy" or "pedo" to draw Matt Weiner’s son. But now he’s a media darling and public person, so all’s fair.
