Zachary Johnson is an artist who works for The Made Shop when he's actually working, as opposed to when he's doing what artists normally do, which is watch a lot of TV and complain about things. This is the stuff he draws or paints when he's working.

You saw it here first, ladies and gentlemen.  That’s how I write drum parts.

And speaking of squashed crappy video, what is up with iMovie?! I don’t want to upgrade to the new version because the interface sucks. But apparently the old version can’t handle iPhone video dimensions.

Seth Kent.  Didn’t really know he was a basketball fan. 
Apparently he is.

Apple picking in Connecticut with the beautiful, inimitable Jess.  In one weekend alone, for instance, she charmingly forewent a lot of hassle and became, in no uncertain terms, a Yale Alumni … simply by purchasing a mug.

I haven’t been posting much in the last few months because I’m busy illustrating The Gospel of Luke with Marke.  Anyway, here is me recording drums for Katie Chastain’s new album, which Nathan is producing.  Also, to the far right of the photo is my younger sister, The Warden, trying not to look bored while she listens to take 15 of me screwing up.  This photo, incidentally, was taken by Chris Jacobs, who is currently my favorite person because a.) he has a mustache, and b.) he only gets slightly annoyed when I distract him from his real job all day by making up songs about him and singing them loudly.

Fuck metaphors.

  • Chris Jacobs: "This guy wasn't the smartest tool in the shed. Wait, the sharpest..."
  • Me: "He wasn't the smartest crayon in the box?"

I’m deeply honored that the amazing Dustin Groeneman has painted a portrait of me (Included in his Hero Series, no less!).  And now I have no reason to do any more self-portraits because none of them will be as good as this.  Thanks a lot, asshole.

YEAH YEAH YEAH!

Conversation I didn't actually have.

  • Zach: I haven't updated my tumblr in a long time cus I haven't had internet access.
  • Me: I think I am using tumblr as an excuse to look at hot naked models all day and feel like I am enriching myself.
  • Zach: What do you think I started drawing for?]
  • ____________
  • I think it's now officially fair to say that I enjoy having made-up conversations with Adam almost as much as I enjoy having real conversations with Adam. For one thing, I sound more dryly witty when he's making up my half of the dialogue...
