This Monday I present a startup screen drawn on a Mac SE, for a Mac SE, back in ‘95, showing our cat Chloe upon a television set. Click the thumbnail to see it in aliased, black and white glory….
An old BKB flyer

This is the first flyer I did for my old band, the Bare Knuckle Boxers. We had a monthly gig at the Art Bar, downtown (near one of the Amazon outposts), for about a year. Maybe a bit longer. The regulars in the place were more to the hip-hop end of the scale than people one might expect to…

This poster was created as a tee-shirt design for the now defunct Seattle Morris team at the behest of former co-worker Rob Falk. Rob possesses the female baby scutter which appeared in a first-season episode of Red Dwarf. Entertainingly, there appears to be a Red Dwarf trading card featuring Rimmer’s treasured issues of Morris Dancer Monthly….
"Moctogon"
(91 Words. July 22, 2002, 01:54 PM, Comments: 0) MORE >>>
Sometime around 1993, I wrote and drew this Octogon as a series of four postcards, each sent on a consecutive day. It’s a ‘moctogon’ because, firstt, it was never intended for publication, and second, becase Bill Weaver, my collaborator on matters Octogon, had no part in it and probably has not seen it yet. Sigh. I just remembered I…
Last King

This is the final image in my long-running series of the King. I painted it for my wife as a birthday present the first year we met. Most of my images of the King were created specifically as birthday presents. I don’t think I ever really spent a lot of time worrying about why I was interested in working…

Oops! I was so involved with my Wired piece I forgot about the Monday art. In a few days I’ll fudge the dates of publication so it’s neater. This image is a photo of a no-longer surviving copy of a large, 18” by 24” or larger poster I made for a party/show in the basement of the house I lived…

This week’s entry in my growing pile of original art is the main image from the last tee-shirt I designed for my former band, the Bare Knuckle Boxers. This image, with the website URL below it and the words “Irska Musika - Americke Svaly” (Czech for “Irish Music - American Muscle”) above it in a warm cream color on a…

The weekly original art I’ve selected is from a series of xerox flyers made in the summer of, um, 1987. In fact, it appears to have been made in June of 1987, when the Korean government first suspended the constitution, and faced massive popular unrest before backing down by June 29th, with the Korean government announcing major democratic reforms in…
Laguna Beach drawing

This is the view of the headlands at north end of Laguna Beach, specifically Main Beach; I drew this on May 27th of this year. I believe this opens Vacation Week here at mike.whybark.com, where I’ll try to write about things that I did while we were in Southern California….

Here is the completed painting, which I’m giving to my in-laws as an anniversary present. All of the materials in the painting have something to do with their life experiences. You can see a WHOLE lot more of the process of producing this painting in my photo gallery for May 2002. I believe the appropriate sub-albums are entitled “Still…

Shocking news! Recent discoveries indicate that in an alternate timeline, the company which produced the poster above makes money hand over fist over jowl! For a printable PDF, click the image. UPDATE: I’ve realized that I misused the word “Zeppelin” in the poster. Since I depicted the Cargolifter dirigible and not the currently-flying Zeppelin NT I suppose I should…

Ten years ago we watched LA burn. I ran from my first riot, a few dozen people who gathered outside the police station in my neighborhood and chucked a few bottles, shattering a window. Almost everybody splt when the kids with the bottles chucked ‘em. I also drew an Octogon that day. I think it’s kind of fatuous, but it’s…
