maaaaaaaaan.

i look like a fat idiot. why hasn't anyone told me this before?

squidables.

in honor of the EPIC musical episode that's airing this Sunday @ midnight on Adult Swim.

i know the definition of minced, it's just meat grinders are fun to design.

here's a quickie for my friend's new musical endeavor: "The Minced Kitten."

look at this idiot.

not sure where this is going. started work on a new short film recently, you'll wanna keep your internet eyes peeled for that.

lunar funk.

2 somewhat recent freelance projects.

badman

continuing with the style of the Early piece below, this is for our weekly character sketch down at Radical.

SquidBillies.

Tonight (Sunday 5/16) at midnight is the premier of the 5th season of Squidbillies on Adult Swim. if you like liquor drankin' and domestic violence, check it out! this season is hilarious.

get excited, kids.

j-busy.

haven't had time for personal projects or cool stuff lately but here's the Radical Axis sketchblog. we've revived it with a weekly "take this character and draw it in your own style" game. we even have a wheel of destiny that determines each week's character. shred.

also, here's another poster for Bodega Roja. i'll try and post new sketchbook goods soon.

ps: watch the new Aqua Teens! we got some sweet ones on deck. sundays at midnight.

Bodega.

flier for the Atlanta-based band Bodega Roja. these guys whoop ass and put on a hell of a show. if you dig face-melting experimental rock, CHECK THESE DUDES OUT. www.bodegaroja.com

Same Ol' Larrold.

haven't touched this one in about a year but came across it today and thought all of you could use a little senseless violence. if you make it to the end alive, you're sick.

karakterr konsepps.

stepped out of my style a little bit and pumped these concepts out a few months ago for a game project i'm currently working on.

yeah top left. that's me.

baby you can drive my karg. (that's pretty gay now that i think about it.)

working on my friend Joe Karg's website. gonna be deadly yall. WWW.JOEKARG.COM

new posts on deck. stay auto-tuned.

Poole Music Productions

flier I put together the other night for a friend's music production company.

if you're into becoming a musical badass, check out the free clinics they offer. Dave is the nastiest guitarist around.

hockey.

4 hours of logo design make the world go 'round. local children's hockey team logo.

you got a little Selleck on your shirt man.

keeping things real via mustache growth and illustrator.

drawberry fields forever.

i try to avoid drawing superheroes every chance i get, so here's a quick self-portrait of me being kickass.

Barnes on deck.

the site's still in the shop, but here's a teaser "coming soon" page. this is also a test to see how many people can actually see this page. leave a comment if you can see it.

Red The Exploder.

stuck at home with a busted-ass jaw this weekend courtesy of my local dentist. so here's another post. some basic t-shirt designs and band logo designs i did for my friends Red The Exploder. check em out.

all designs are copyright Jason Barnes 2009.

Trailer Park Boys.

Over the past year i've been completely addicted to Trailer Park Boys. I must've watched every season about 4 times through. Funniest show around.

these are some sketchbook pages that i did, usually while watching the show (so they're kinda influenced by it). the character's on there are some of the most memorable people you'll ever meet, not to mention some of the funniest you'll ever draw.

EDIT: trying to upload new pictures so you can click and see them up close. my bad.

part 1

pair of sketch goods from early spring.

probably do some animation with the second one.

style is king.

robert valley is my f***in' hero.

oh and The Beatles too.

sneakin' one in.

so i been prairie doggin' these posts lately, not putting up any real artwork. and that won't really change with this post. here's a screen cap of my current motion graphics project i'm putting together for my reel. check back in a few days and maybe i'll post a video or two.
