NICHOLAS GAZIN'S DRAWING BLOG

7:24AM - Star Wars sketch cards.

These are original drawings I did on blank trading cards that were randomly inserted into packs of Star Wars Galaxy Series 4 trading cards. The Mishka guys all gathered around back in January and ate burritos and we each drew a bunch. I drew as many as I possibly could because I like Star Wars a lot and I am a hog.

7:27PM - I'm in a show at the New York TImes Building

It's July 16th from 7 - 9pm. RSVP if you want to be at it.

4:02AM - Illustrations that Johnny Ryan and I did of each other for an upcoming Vice interview.

I interviewed Johnny Ryan for the August 2009 issue of Vice Magazine. He drew me and I drew him.

3:55AM - I drew this as an injoke for someone I know.

My buddy Amy has a Garfield phone and other cute stuff in her apartment. I drew myself smashing that phone based on some joke.

5:15PM - Mishka/Adfunture Bootleg Toy Art

Mishka is putting out vinyl toys that look like this, designed by my buddy and 100% homeboy Lamour Supreme. They asked me to do a drawing that they could include in the package so I drew this. Lamour encouraged me to try to shove my own characters into it as a way to try to get a following in the vinyl toy community so I came up with Double Man although he might also be Double Mang or Double Mange since his hand is covering part of the name. He's the two headed guy at the bottom. There's also talk of this turning into a T-shirt. Keep watch of this livejournal and I'll let you know how it goes.

11:41PM - Flyer Art For Midnite Till Death No. 25

10:12PM - This is being used as the final page in the next Vice book.

Vice really liked this watercolor image I did that I wasn't so crazy about and asked me to do a black and white version for their next book which is going to be a sequel to the Vice Guide To Sex Drugs And Rock and Roll.

9:17PM - I have some illustrations in Yeti Seven.

Yeti is a neat little magazine/journal that comes with a CD and people seem to respect it. I didn't draw the cover. The illustration on the left is of the Wooden Shjips and the one the right is the Nodzzz.

9:50PM - Here's a partial video of me reading my comic, Party Monster, aloud at Carousel.

Two years ago I did a half-assed comic called Party Monster that was in an full color comic anthology that came out a year ago called Typhon. A week ago I read the comic aloud while it was viewable on a not very large flat screen at the MoCCA building as part of an event that R. Sikoryak hosts called Carousel.

This video starts about three pages into my comic because the guy who filmed it was in the bathroom. He also cut out the part where I read the comic that I drew on the back of the comic. I had about 64 ounces of Budweiser during the opening forty minutes of the event and I was talking into the microphone so loud that it was cutting out. That's where this video jumps in.

11:27AM - Interview with me by Impose Magazine

Jason Diamond interviewed me for Impose Magazine. You can read it here.

This is art that I am donating to a charity fundraising book and art show to help out Bill Mantlo, creator of the Rom comic series and victim of a hit and run. Read more about what this is all about here. As it turns out the nude lady means that it won't be usable for the book due to Rom being owned by Hasbro. I'll be doing another one. I'll learn how to make shit look shiny yet.

8:55PM - Flyer Art For Midnite Till Death No. 24

5:11AM - I've got some drawings in Faesthetic #11

These are my pages from the new issue of Faesthetic. I got the dimensions backwards so the drawings turned into spreads. The text in the first one says "Do As I Command." but it falls into the crack.

6:06AM - Threadless Payback Drawings No. 10 - 11

I misnumbered these drawings.

This time I got to draw my buddy Alanna who Destiny and I used to hang out with. She is a pretty little lady and she plays instruments. She is now going to school in San Francisco. She introduced me to the love of my life, Nintendo Wii.



Here's a second drawing I did of Alanna.


And here's a drawing of Elizabeth with lyrics to my favorite DMX song thrown in there. I got no idea who this lady is.

3:25PM - Threadless Payback Drawings No. 07 - 09

This is a thing I do. If you buy the shirt I made for Threadless and send me a photo of you wearing it I will do a portrait of you in the shirt and mail i to you. The photos must be taken by someone else in well lit area and be in focus. Please get as much of your body in frame. I no longer am accepting photos taken by holding the camera at arm's length.

Here are the most recent three participants. Michelle, Ben and Ginette. Thanks for buying my shirt you guys.
