Day 195

07.14.10

Revealing one of my more useful butchery diagrams --- a pork butchery chart, with labels and everything!

16 x 20 inches, natural vine charcoal on 100% cotton rag.

This is part of a set of originals, commissioned by a customer for her foodie husband's birthday. She like the "negative space pig" from back in January, and commissioned me to make a cow and lamb butchery chart in the same style, but with the added labels for all the meat sections.

Working on this larger scale was nice, as my work is typically less than 8 x 8 inches. I like the look of this guy too. I think he's kind of art deco-ish, style-wise.

The customer came by with her husband and adorable daughter yesterday for the big reveal, so I can show the works off on the blog now. They seemed to like them, which is, of course, wonderful.

"Muffin Butchery"

original watercolor and ink illustration.

I always think of that Seinfeld episode when I look at a muffin. The one where the homeless refused to eat the leftover muffin stumps from "Top of Muffin to You!"

Day 190






Meat Section of The Bruery's delicious summer beer - Trade Winds!


Today's meat section wins the "biggest feather in my cap" award, as it is currently the home page for The Bruery. (click it! See?!)

Never thought an illustration of mine would be used as someone's website. They contacted me way back in February, when they saw the dissection of Melange No. 6, and asked me to do a few more beer meat sections for them. A big thanks to The Bruery, both for their fabulous beer (Trade Winds goes great with grilled meat) but also for giving me that opportunity. If you're in southern California, you should definitely pay them a visit. Anywhere else? Go get a bottle of their beligian-y brews.


Oh, and in case there is anyone out there wondering, "Why haven't I received a new daily dose of meat illustrations in a while?" it's because my dear old compy got a terminal virus. Made the switch to Mac, and my new shiny compy should return today, with posting to resume tomorrow.

Papercut pig butchery chart

I was reading this interview on lillyella with Joe .. the guy behind the awesome shop, Papercuts by Joe. I've never done a papercut before, but was inspired by his amazing work. One viewing of Louis C.K.'s standup on netflix steaming later, and this is what I made.

Sheep and cow, and more to come!
