"Keep Out of Reach of Children" Update

Made a few more updates, especially to the fine print. Thanks for all the support and advice on this one, peeps! Keep your thoughts comin! :D

I'm still not sure what joke I want in the last empty spot, but rest assured- it's gonna be a good one!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! Liam Neeson in the A-Team Movie?! :D

OMG! :D

"The A-Team van is starting to fill up.

As the film update of the iconic 1980s TV series starts to take shape, Variety reports Liam Neeson is in talks for the role of cigar-chomping Col. John Smith—better known as Hannibal—while the Hollywood Reporter says Bradley Cooper has been engaging in post-Hangover talks for the Faceman role originally played by dreamboat Dirk Benedict.

The original NBC series was a romp about four falsely imprisoned Vietnam vets who bust out of a military jail in order to cruise around in a van, dress outlandishly and blow s--t up. The current update, which involves show creator Stephen J. Cannell, producers Ridley and Tony Scott and director Joe Carnahan among others, is said to be aiming for a more serious take.

Presumably, s--t will still get blown up. We love it when a plan comes together.

With Neeson and Cooper in the film's sights, the big question is now: Who has the gold chains, silver tongue and brass ballsiness to take over Mr. T's marvelously Mohawked role?

We nominate Christian Bale. That guy can do anything."

I probably don't have to tell you that this is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. ALL TIME! And with Laim Neeson and Bradley Cooper in the mix, I'm actually excited for a movie adaptation. Even though they will be taking a serious tone with the film, everything should turn out action-packed and a whole lotta fun- as long as they keep Michael Mann* out of the picture.

*I'm probably referencing that awful melodramatic Miami Vice movie. Remember that? I sure don't!

Spacesick's Spectacular 150th Post Spectacular!

Just a bunch of random sketches I've started in the last few days.

Danger! Keep Out of Reach of Children (WIP)

Baron VonFunburger's® Haunted Castle Cavalcade at Threadless

Well! It took 3 months and about 7 versions to get this idea from the crazy little sketch it started out as to the beautiful colorful design it turned out to be, but it happened! And it happened because of all the amazing peeps in the Threadless Critique section who came out to help me with their thoughts and advice this go-around. So a big thanks to all of you guys! :D BIG thanks! Like a "would you like to Monster-Size™ your drink for only 35 cents more?" thanks. And another big thank you to Threadless for my second print! Awrooooooo! I'm excited, in case you couldn't tell.

Please pull forward to the next window to see where you can buy it! Or you could just click here, I guess. How cool is that turquoise color? :D

Imaginary Discovery Channel Logo Test (1984)

I thought it might be fun to compose some imaginary retro-fied idents for my favorite TV stations while I practice for a super secret project on the horizon. This one still needs more work; I was just too excited to hold back the INSPIRATIONAL musical cue I composed for it.

Up next: A colorful designerly logo for a 1960s FX? A simple black and white identification for a 1950s Lifetime Movie Network?! Nothing at all?! Who knows! We'll find out after these messages.

TV Logo Test

The TV effect I'm working on looks pretty different once some of the quality is lost, but I feel like it's a good start. I think I can get a pretty authentic effect with a little more practice. In the meantime, pass me the remote! Let's see if The Fugitive is on TNT!
