Adam WarRock & Vince Vandal “Gravity Falls Rap 2.0” (Free Downl0ad)

It’s been almost a year since I released my Gravity Falls rap song. Some backstory, I actually wrote the song while at Connecticon 2012. I basically got the idea, emailed Vince and strongarmed him into making me a quick scratch beat, and then recorded a scratch version of the song in my hotel room during the con with my iphone headphones. I got home, recorded it for real, and it’s now one of the most listened-to things I’ve ever released.

I wrote that song probably when the show was at about 4 episodes? Since then, a whole slew of new episodes have come out, and Gravity Falls continues to be incredible. Since then, I’ve gotten to talk with the whole Internet fan community of the show, including contributing my own bit of geeky fandom in the form of this podcast, which has since turned into some kind of weird animation/nostalgia show. I also was in LA, and got to visit the studio where they make the show. I’m as huge a fan of Gravity Falls as could be, and my only complaint is that I wish it was on more often.

I wrote some new lyrics a while ago (around the episode “Fight Fighters”) and recorded them, while Vince had a chance to improve his scratch beat. So take this song, and let’s celebrate this great show and just party and have a good time.

What I was doing with that wee self portrait!

My first time using resin! I got my brother, my sister and myself to each do a little self portrait and then placed them in empty bevels, which I then covered in resin. For our Mom on Mother’s Day of course. :)

Crafty things can frustrate the hell out of me, but I like how this turned out. <3

Min Jeong Seo - To Live On, 2005

The stalks these flowers are already dried up but their blossoms are preserved and kept fresh by the medical infusion bags. The life-span of every living creature is limited.The infusion bags stand for the progress in medicine and the prolongation of human life.They somehow carry an ambivalent message as they refer to both death and life an the same time. Both states are immanent here. To preserve the beauty of the flowers artificially with the help of the infusion bags points out man’s inclination to repress the fact having to die and to postpone death.

I heard it through the grape vine that a potential illustration client tried to get a hold of me through my regular day job… on my day off. :(

During the day at work, I’m retail-selling-art-supplies-Alise, I shouldn’t be taking personal calls. So the best way to get a hold of me isn’t through…

OpenDyslexic is a free-to-use font that is designed to help those with dyslexia read better. The text is weighted, having a heavier bottom, which is thought to increase readability for dyslexic people. You can download it for free here.

I don’t have dyslexia myself, but in the event any of my followers do, I thought I’d share. Maybe it will help people.

Manfully resisting the compelling urge to buy this wicked cute “Onomatopattern” cardigan from Threadless. Comic book SFX!!

This cardigan is such a classy incarnation of the bold comic onomatopoeia attire that’s usually featured here. This would be perfect for adding a subtle touch of Batman ‘66 charm into your daytime wardrobe.

A close-up of the print:

A little comic I doodled over breakfast.

Do you enjoy hot men getting their gorgeous faces repeatedly hammered by fists to no discernible effect? Then you’ll love this film! (I also loved it, despite my concern. Lense-flare the crap out of my life, JJ!)
