BodyWorld: Dieball Trophy Print

Yes! Now you too can possess and proudly display a dieball trophy without all of the physical training, competitions, and potential diegunk addiction. Desert Island (Brooklyn) knew you wanted it, so we made this signed and numbered edition of 100.
In blue and "sparkling" gold- my middle school colors.
23 X 29"
It's available on the Desert Island website or go to the store to see it in person. While you're there you can pick up the latest Smoke Signal too.

Making The Abyss

Now open at MoCCA.

Making The Abyss (MoCCA show)

Making The Abyss
Drawings from BodyWorld, Bottomless Belly Button, animations and comic short stories by Dash Shaw.

Shaw's recent works (BodyWorld, The Unclothed Man, and Bottomless Belly Button) connect an interest with the human body, informed by figure drawing, with humorous character-driven narratives. This show displays his original art for these stories, which are often a combination of traditional crowquill and ink work with gaouche paints, acetate sheets, animation-style backgrounds, colored marker storyboards, and mixed media collages.

I did these for the 2010 MoCCA Art Festival.

Animated Feature SLOBS AND NAGS to Sundance Lab

This was announced today.

Slobs and Nags is an animated feature I'm working on. Howard Gertler and John Cameron Mitchell are producing it. Right now it's basically the same team as Unclothed Man: with me writing/directing/drawing, James scoring, and Jane drawing- plus Slobs and Nags will have the new addition of Frank Santoro drawing! Yay!
It's very early in the process.

Unclothed Man Series Now Online

The Unclothed Man series of animated shorts are all online now for free at ifc.com here: http://www.ifc.com/unclothed-man-in-the-35th-century-ad/
Also, in the "Extras" section they've hosted my 2007 Mome short story Look Forward, First Son of Terra Two.

Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival

This Saturday, December 5th, I'll be at the Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival hosted by Desert Island and Picturebox.

Smoke Signal 3 will debut there. I will have a new mini there too (above image.)

I'm scheduled for 3-4pm at the festival.

Before that, at 2pm, I'm on a panel on "comics and animation" with R.O. Blechman and Kim Deitch (!). It will be moderated by Bill Kartalopoulos at Secret Project Robot. A while ago I showed Deitch my IFC animations and as he was watching them he said: "...yeah... I did some of this in my day..." It was cool.

Everything is free.
