HOW DID I NOT KNOW PING WAS ON TUMBLR. FORGIVE ME, PING! I’m super late on the game, so everyone is following her by now, right? Because everyone loves beautiful things, right?

!!!!!

Jimmy’s video game fan art book “Bits in Multiples of 8” went up on Kickstarter last NIGHT! Amazing. Now look what you’ve done, guys! He’s gonna have to print more books!

Way to go, Jim Jams.

Today’s Lunch! Inspired by Kali Ciesemier’s blog Kali Eats as well as some delicious illustrations by Rebecca Bradley, and Kelly Lasserre.

Recipe: 

1 Avocado
1 small can of tuna
1tbsp of EV Olive Oil
1tbsp of Balsamic vinaigrette or of lime juice
1 large tomato, halved, or 1 small tomato

feeds one mildly hungry guy for lunch.

Halve and pit your avocado. Salt and pepper to taste and leave it to the side. Slice your tomato evenly, salt and pepper to taste and leave it to the side.

In a bowl, mix tuna, vinegar, and olive oil together, until all the tuna is coated. add a little salt and pepper (i love pepper). Use a spoon to heap the tuna into the pit cavity in your avocado halves. Dribble what’s left of the dressing in the bowl over the avocado and tuna. Serve the tomatoes next to it and enjoy!

Try adding walnuts, celery bits, golden raisins, or other tasty things to the tuna, or make a traditional tuna salad by using 2 tbsps of mayonaise rather than the O/V mixture. You can also substitute chicken for tuna.

Also, you if you want a tasty hors-d’ouevre for a party, mix the avocado meat in with the rest of the tuna dressing mixture, and serve on sliced tomatoes on top of crackers. They’re colorful, and tasty.

Gant’s food illustration is completely delectable. And his painting skills have always been a huge inspiration for me. Just gorgeous!

Here’s my first piece that I did for Bits in Multiples of 8 you guys!!  If you guess that I was working on an Altered Beast piece yesterday from the preview I posted, you guessed right!! I’m going to color this soon so that I can turn it into a screen printed poster, so keep you eyes peeled doods and doodettes!

The radness is overflowing!!! Jimmy’s inking is so excellent.

My man Jimmy is putting together a zine called Bits & Multiples of 8 for video game fan art from the original Nintendo system to Nintendo 64 (Sega + Playstation included), and he’s just put out a call for submissions on his blog! The cover features characters from tons of games (see if you can name them all) and will make a lovely 4-color screen print on a lovely zine full of lovely work. Check it out! It’ll be rad.

My lovely friend Kelly Lasserre’s handwritten type is so good and so enviable!  There’s something really sweet and silly about this that I adore, and all the painted objects she’s been creating just make me so happy.
