FAKETOWN

One of my favorite places in Chicagoland:
 

(Two Corrections: Faketown is actually located in Willow Springs, but Justice is just a few more miles down Archer Avenue. And this is looking southwest rather than southeast.)

MODERN PAGES (FTL)

Some more pages from the modern incarnation of The Funny Things List:

 

 (I've re-glued the binding in this sketchbook several times, so the text along the center spine is difficult to scan. Some of the casualties include: easy mac, the latin invasion of 1999, donnie darko, bullet time, disney's nine old men, and fat camp.)

As always, suggestions are welcome.

SPACE BURGER 2099

GLASS BRICK CAPITAL

Proof.

MOUSETRAPS

Even before that happened, this happened...

Never use Tomcat brand mousetraps- I didn't catch a single mouse with them. Stick with the trusty old Victor variety. They may look crude and old school, but they work. They worked 8 times. They're cheaper too.

Dealing with mice is kinda like fishing, but worse.

BONUS TIP: If you have mice, buy a can of caulk (a good brand is Great Stuff) and obsessively go around every inch of your walls where they meet the floors. Inside closets, underneath sinks (especially where pipes go into the walls), behind refrigerators, behind dishwashers, behind ovens, underneath radiators, etc. Caulk up any hole that is bigger than a nickel in size. Mice are versatile creatures, don't underestimate them. Leave traps out (with peanut butter). As long as you keep catching mice you know you've missed a spot somewhere.

LAST HALLOWEEN

That last pumpkin has a set of abs carved into it (courtesy of Andy, based on Batman's abs).

I tried to adapt this sketchbook doodle of a little guy wearing a bear costume into a pumpkin.

But it just turned into a teletubby.

HALLOWEEN PROVERB: "It's better not to say anything than to say anything at all."

SWEET BUILDING

 

Along with the merchandise mart, this is my other favorite building in Chicago. Apparently a "steam plant". It's the 301 Taylor building- a poor man's Battersea Station.
