I was trying to think of a new year/year of the rabbit image for a party flyer the other day when Usagi Yojimbo came to mind. 2011 is that dude's year. I mean, I think he's turning 25 on the year of the Rabbit! That's pretty great!

So to commemorate his great success here's a story of a personal failure.

...can't get enough of GratNin? Yearn for more shadows and dismemberment? Could you use more teddy bear transformations and nude fighting?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then boy, you're in for a treat cause D? just remembered that there's a warehouse full of GratNin: Ninjaversary just waiting to find their way to your sweaty little palms... Interested? Read on.

about 5 years back D-pi collected the the first 5 years of GratNin comics into one giant 52 page bundle of goodness called the "Ninjaversary". It's jammed to the gills with tons of goodness. This book includes the original GratNin that started as a love letter published in the Pratt Static Fish as well as Panel Space the rarely seen GratNin art project done for Brooklyn International Film Festival.

The book also includes pin ups by incredible talent like Ghostshrimp, Lesean Thomas and Raphael Tanghal

...so ninj'lets, what are you waiting for get at them; they're waiting for you over at LULU. For just 20 bucks a pop they're a steal!
Also... Peep these GratNin kix, the product of a Dπ/KDU/RYZ collabo...

...available exclusively from the Ryzwear website. get'm here
...also check out some more shots and the Gratuitous Ninja web comic here

So here it is, the Grande Finale of the Gratuitous NinjaLoan Sharks web comic, my first Gratuitous Ninja story in too many years to count, and the first peek into a new GratNin world. Definitely had some fun working with My ol' buddy Ted Lange IV, check out some of his other work here. Stay tuned, late in January I plan to announce news about the next GratNin piece.

ALSO the other day, a talented friend of mine, Lynette Astaire, blew into New York from the windy city or Hawaii or wherever she's been off to making art. She immediately went to work! I was lucky to stumble in on a session she had at the Levi's Photo Workshop downtown where the Deitch projects used to be. So I got shot by a world class photographer!






it's difficult for me to keep both eyes open before 3pm.

-This is one of my favorite T's from one of my favorite brands, MSGR, from one of the coolest cats in Japan, Nakamura Katsuya. If you're into good functional gear check them out. And I'm not getting paid to say that, but if you ever want to send me something, Nakamurasan, I won't return it. ;-P

Hey folk... does anyone still check this thing. Is deviant art still hype or is it friendster?
I'm just checking in to see what's really good with everybody, I've just about wrapped up my 2/3 graphic novel which is an adaptation of Ray Bradburry's Something Wicked This Way Comes and I'm also on the home stretch f Prince of Cats.
...SO, if I get a chance to brieth... well hell... I'm gonna post a new episode of GratNin next week. So keep an eye out. This will be the homestretch on Loan Sharks.. We'll finally see Ninja on Pyrate action, and find out what's really good with Fuma's credit score.
...aso cooking up other things, but maybe it's still a little early to talk about it.
Later

Hey everybody. I'll be speaking at the Knife Fight: Noches de los Artista
it's a weekly artist talks event series that will be held on Thursday evenings at 7pm at Pete's Candy Store 709 Lorimer St. Brooklyn, NY They'll be hosted by Andy P. Smith of KnifeFight.org

more after the bump

I'll probably check out a few of these, they look pretty cool.

"Turn on the projector, turn off the lights, maybe have a beer, and listen and learn from some of NYC’s most innovative creatives… so many of us create things, make art, but it’s become increasingly difficult to showcase work in an atmosphere that is both relaxed and engaging."
- Andy P. Smith, curator of Noches de los Artistas and Creative Director of KnifeFight

"'Noches' will bring the public face-to-face with a   variety of emerging New York artists to facilitate conversation among artists and their peers in an intimate space."
- NY Art Beat

This thursday they've got directors Nicholas Chatfield-Taylor, Jay Buim and Lazlo. Looks like a blast!

PS...
last week Graff assassin Shiro shared a bit of her canvas with me at DJ Das' party in the LES. It was completely impromptu as I rarely do this type of thing. It was an honor.


Shouts to Jorden, who's fresh Bird ov Prey gear I'm rocking below:
