The UMBRELLA ACADEMY "APOCALYPSE SUITE" portfolios are now up in the shop! . LINK IN BIO! . The portfolio includes 8.5" x 11" ea (Set of 3) 1 exclusive FOIL sticker Giclee Print Artist Edition of 50 Illustrated Envelope Signed & Numbered . I also made a new enamel pin, sticker, and art for the envelope. I wanted this to look as fancy as possible. . PLATE 3 . The “Typewriter” piece was also fun to do but I was freaking out at this point. The art director referenced the Nick Cave poster I had designed and wanted basically that. Easy. But I didn’t make it easy. ( I never do…) I knew that he didn’t want me to replace Nick’s head with Gerard’s and call it day. So I had to come up with another way of drawing something I had already done without copying myself. So I threw EVERYTHING in there. Hence the Easter Eggs. The only similarity is that I wanted to draw Gerard typing as if he were playing the piano. Same as what I did for the #NickCave poster. Plus they’re both wearing suits. . Here are a few of the #EasterEggs I hid in there: • The #typewriter is an #AdlerUniversal39. The same machine that #JackTorrance uses in the movie #TheShining. • I “hid” 3 books on Gerard’s desk. ALL published by Dark Horse! Pretty sneaky I know. . 1 “The Umbrella Academy” (obviously). . 2 #TheTrueLivesOfTheFabulousKilljoys (sorta obvious). I did one of the covers for that mini-series and also an art print that you should pick up nudgenudge! Gerard Way wrote the book and Becky Cloonan (the coolest person alive) drew it. . 3 #DontHoldYourBreath (not obvious). In 2010 Dark Horse published a book on me and my artwork. I recently heard it was soon to be on permanent display in the Smithsonian. It’s true! And dogs can’t look up! (I’m sure it’s in the bargain bin.) . .
