Hope everyone has a SUPER HOLIDAY! Every year Jacie and I make a holiday card to send to our friends and family. This year we decided to skip the printing and mailing and donate that money to the ACLU instead.
Thanks to everyone for a totally awesome year, lets keep it going!
DAILY TEE | “Fantastic Confections” by @jpcoovert is only $11 today on #TeeFury!
Got a fun new t-shirt up on Teefury today!
Yo dudes! I will be at SPX this weekend, debuting two new books. A new Simple Routines collection (over 100 pages!) and Arc Dogs, my newest ongoing comic series (beginning later this year, read it early in book form!)
If you can’t make it to SPX, don’t worry! You can preorder both books from my website, or One Percent Press!
Come say What’s up!
I’ve got a new Star Trek inspired t-shirt up on Teefury! Only $11 for the first 24 hours. Grab one! http://www.teefury.com/
I’ve started a new project called #totallyawesomeanimals where I will be posting a new interesting animal illustration on my Instagram every week!
To kick things off I made a video about what inspired the project (hint: a giant 80 year old tortoise.)
The Galapagos Tortoise is the largest tortoise in the world, weighing up to 800 lbs! They have no predators, so they live up to 150+ years! With a relatively small habitat of the volcanic Galapagos archipelago, these awesome creatures were part of Darwin’s inspiration when developing evolutionary theory.
Dudes!!! My friends at Fangamer have printed Stomping Grounds (Yoshi’s Island inspired) design and I’m so stoked on it! This is probably the most complicated print I’ve ever made and it turned out great. They really do make the best shirts!
Grab one here!
Did you know I’ve been making Youtube videos the past couple of months? Check out more on my channel!
I have a Rey/BB-8 t-shirt design up on Teefury today! It’s based on the original Ralph McQuarrie concept art that was used as Star Wars’ first logo.
It’s available until midnight tonight (EST) and it’s only $11! Get it while you can!
New Iron Giant inspired t-shirt available on Teefury! TODAY ONLY! IT’S ONLY $11!!!!
Did you see The Force Awakens???? I loved it! Stoked to see Episode 8!
Nintendo <3
Got two new t-shirts available at Teefury! Check them out in the Ultimate Gaming collection!
I love Fallout 4 so much you guys. So, I designed a t-shirt with my favorite companions that just so happens to be available today only (Dec. 9th) from SHIRTPUNCH!
I just released 3 new shirts of my own. Check out jpcoovert.com/shop !!! Supplies are EXTREMELY limited, so get them while you can!
And because it’s Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday, used code “20PERCENT” to take 20% off your entire order, all weekend!
DUDES!!! My official Spelunky t-shirts designs for Fangamer were just released! So stoked on these I can’t even explain.
These are just two of about 100 other t-shirts I have coming out this weekend. More soon!
Tomorrow I will be taking part of the 24 video game live stream for charity, Extra Life! There will be lots of game playing with friends, but more importantly, if you donate I will draw your favorite video game character on the stream (Like the DK and Ryu above.)
For more details on how to contribute, check out my donation page here.
And follow my twitch channel for the live stream!
The future is rad!!!
Happy Back to the Future day!

Catching up with JP Coovert
Occasionally I will use this space to talk about CCS alumni and the paths they’ve traveled in the years since graduation. JP Coovert was one of the first students I met when I came to CCS in 2007. He was a senior at the time, so I had him in the first Thesis Seminar class I taught, and he also signed on to be my T.A. for Cartooning Studio, so he had front row seats to my trial-by-fire as a graduate-level instructor. JP was cheerful, enthusiastic, supportive, and always ready to pitch in however he could. His presence and positivity really helped me survive that first teaching year.
After graduating CCS in 2008, JP moved to Minneapolis to be with his wife, Jacie. After six months or so of odd jobs, he was hired full-time to design graphics for Target’s line of t-shirts for kids.
A few of the 200+ shirts that JP designed for Target.
He also took on a number of book illustration jobs, most notably for the Charlie Joe Jackson series from Roaring Brook Press.
During all of this, like most cartoonists who take on day jobs in order to make ends meet, JP continued to write and draw comics on nights and weekends, using several conventions a year as deadlines to put out new books. Ten years ago—around the same time that CCS first opened its doors—he started self-publishing Simple Routines, an autobiographical comics series, the 20th issue of which came out earlier this year through One Percent Press.
After seven years at Target, JP recently left to be a full time free-lancer. A scary step for any working artist, but one he can make with confidence, given the skills and portfolio built up over many years of disciplined work. Congratulations for making the leap, JP, and best of luck in your future endeavors!
A lovely little write up by Jason Lutes on what I’ve been doing since graduating CCS. <3
