I’m a little sad that by tomorrow I better have my Zombie Uprising put back in the box. But I’m happy to announce that I’ve expanded my reach! I’ve been successfully shipping framed art across the country to those who’re into it enough to spend for it. I construct my own boxes, pad them well, and so far have had 100% success shipping unscathed. So if you see a framed piece on my site that you’d love on your wall I’m happy to quote a price.

Last week I added some more lovelies to the Normal Bob Collection hosted exclusively at The Book Nook in Montague, Michigan. That’s the place to go see and buy my work.

I’m especially excited about this David Lynch with the Lynchian patterned matte. You can bet I have one on my wall at home. But every single piece is precious enough to me that I worry about them the entire week that they’re “in transport” by the USPS. Shipping them isn’t exactly stress-free for me, but it’s a small price for the pursuance of art life.

October is finally here! And with it inspiration. I suppose that’s what’s happening. I’ve assembled my Zombie Uprising “Nativity Scene for Halloween” on the mantel and’ve been feeling very fruitful since. I’ve got one big project in the works, which I’m still holding off on revealing completely for fear of some jinx or something. Gimme another month or so. 

I’ve just returned from Book Nook & Java Shop in Whitehall having supplied them with several more framed pieces, and still they want more!
I stopped in to replenish the Star Wars Best Friends piece when I overheard one of the employees telling somebody, “The artist is here now! You can ask him.”
This gentleman was eyeing my John Prine with his phone in hand.
“My wife is asking me to make sure you’re the artist, and that it’s signed before I buy it.” Then he aimed his phone at me. “You’re the guy who made theeeese?” with images of my Jesus Dressups on his screen.
“That’s me alright!”
And he left with the signed John Prine.
It was one of the sparks that ignited all this. 

Also, just completed this portrait of my darling friend and barista, Annie. 
Here’s all of what I’ve been talking about.
So stop on by, get an art, and show some Jesus Dressups on your phone to people.

Again, it’s been more than a month since the last update. I get it. I have a responsibility to show you that I’m not only taking your orders, but shipping them out as well. Often even same day! This week, surprisingly, I’m getting more orders for the Final Justice version. If you happen to know the reason (did someone else sing a song about them?) please lemme know! Until then, I’m drawing every day. 

I’ve attempted several times to draw Bjork. I’m still a bit taken aback when I say her name to people around here how often I get a confused face responding “Who?”
She was so SO huge 25 years ago! Each time however when I tried to sketch her it just didn’t capture what I wanted to catch. Then I saw a photo of her online when she was 11 years old, and it had a comment underneath declaring, “Eleven year old Bjork looks more like Bjork than Bjork.” And depending on how well you know of Bjork you understand. So here’s 11 year old Bjork.

I’ve also been working on a much bigger project. One that’s been in the back of my brain for over 35 years! Something that, depending on how long you’ve known me, or what level of Normal-Bob-nerd-dom you’re at, maybe you could even figure out what that project is exactly. And there are some who’ll be SHOCKED when it’s finally revealed. It’ll all be told next month sometime, probably.
But until then, here’s the only hint you get. 
Stay tuned!
