This Week's New Yorker Caption Contest

Here is my entry in this weeks New Yorker Caption Contest. Each week they provide the image and you provide the caption.

"The good news is I see about three less than I did last week."


Here are about nine that I didn’t use.

The M.C. Escher rug really ties the room together.

I “Catch and Release”, but they just won’t let go.

Thanks for meeting me down here doc.

Hey, this did start right around the time I got that job working on the fishing boat! I wonder they’re related?

My wife says I have to stop bringing my work home with me.

I think I'm ready to start seeing you only once a week, after all they’re only about thirty of them now.

It’s still better than when I worked at the slaughter house.

Thanks for having me on “Inside the Underwater Actor’s Studio”

At least I can’t smell them anymore.

Dan's Found Caricature.

Every now and then you find a picture, photo, plant or mineral that looks just like you. I'm going to try to post a new FOUND caricature of myself every Saturday morning for the next few weeks. Please let me know when you find them successful, or when you think they’re crap.
This is something called, "The Real Mr. Potato Head". I don't know the name of the artist unfortunately, but it sure looks a lot like me.

Some New Sketches

Here are some new sketches. The first is an older guy I saw the other day with a very aggressive mustache and hair style. He was on his way to see the "Verve". He didn't have tickets, but planned to get some during the intermission. He'd read that the "Verve" was going to be playing at Madison Square garden in the New Yorker, which he was carrying in his back pocket.




The other two pages from my sketch book are studies for a female bartender character I'm working on for a new project. More to come on that.

Happy Birthday Justin!

Today is the fictional birthday of the fictional "Tracy" film character Justin Pooge, played by the very real character Jeff Pidgeon.

As Tracy's biggest fan, Justin's character hosts the tracy movie myspace page. Check it out, and wish a fake person a Happy Birthday!

This Week's New Yorker Caption Contest

Here is my entry in this weeks New Yorker Caption Contest. Each week they provide the image and you provide the caption.

"I got the idea duck hunting. I’m hoping it will attract other naked women."


I like to make a list of about ten possible captions on Sunday night and then pick my favorite... Here are some from this week's list.

1. How was the sexual harassment seminar Friday? I’m sorry I couldn’t make it.

2. It’s “Bring your Horribly Humiliating, Shameful Secret to Work Day.”

3. I hope to see you at my CPR demonstration this afternoon?

4. Hey if they’re going to make me work this weekend…

5. Hey Bob, we could use a third for the carpool lane.

6. I lost my hemorrhoid pillow.

7. It’s just temporary until we can hire a new secretary for the boss to have an affair with.

8. I’m just trying to make my workspace feel more homey.

9. I hate having to bring work home with me.

Wish me luck!

Dan's Found Caricature / Auction Update!

As you may have seen in my earlier post, my friends and I created some artwork for an auction to fund new digs in the office. I'm happy to say the auction was a lot of fun, and a huge success! My paintings did well, and I even entered a last minute piece I'd been holding onto for awhile in a "buy now" $25 instant purchase pool. I drew this picture two years ago for a different auction, and I'm glad it found a good home tonight.
But perhaps the most interesting moment of the evening was the unexpected, slightly unfortunate, and incredibly timely, FOUND CARICATURE of me discovered at the auction by a few friends. The rather racy piece was created by my friend Chris and is entitled "Italian Dinner".


See you next week!

Tracy Comic of the Month

Here is this month's vintage Tracy comic book cover!

"I don’t care how cold it is, I told you to wait for me outside."


Michele's entry was much better... "I’m sorry, I meant a cabernet."

Batsh*t Glam!

Michele started a new blog!

It's called Batsh*tglam. The old blog Shoepatrol, was just too specific. Batsh*t will cover all things fashion and beyond, (including shoes, of course). So if you like Babescanlon you'll love Batsh*tglam!

This me dressed up nice, this is a drawing of a waiter on a "fancy" menu.

Carol Relaxing

Here's a painting of Carol I did for Carol's doggie daycare provider. Carol loves them more than she loves us!

New Drawings

I've been drawing more lately, and really enjoying it!
Here's a sketch of Michele picking some Bon Jovi and ACDC songs on the digital Jukebox at the Bigfoot.

Self portrait at the Hemlock Saturday night.

This is a drawing of the kind of guy that would fight every year at the end of the Clawson Fourth of July fireworks where I grew up. I'd like to do more of these, maybe with less blood.

"I got out due to overcrowding."


That's the one I entered, and these are the ones I thought of today!

"You don't go to hell for masturbating, but it's not completely over looked."

"This is what happens every time a bell rings at Ronnie James Dio's house."

"I'm going through a mid - after life crisis"

This weeks is extra sleazy!

Another Carol Painting

Here's a 4 X 6 inch painting of Carol killing her toys on our crappy Ikea couch. This was done for an auction taking place in two weeks. Let's hope Carol brings in the big bucks!

Interview with Dan about TRACY in this months FLIP!

I did an interview in this month’s issue of FLIP. FLIP is an online animation magazine created by animation director Steve Moore. Each month Steve has great articles, essays, and project updates from people working in the animation industry. This is the first full interview any of us have done about Tracy! It’s very exciting to start putting the word out on this film that has been so private and personal for so many years. Check out the interview as well as all the great back issues of FLIP!
