post it on yer face

Been drawin’ on Post-Its, the inbred nephew/son of the paper world, for the Post-It Show 3 at GR2 in LA this Saturday. I will not be there, but my Post-Its will, and they’ll be available for $20 a piece. HEY MAN, don’t yell at me because I didn’t price these, the store did. A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING, AM I RIGHT





There are a shitload of artists in this show, and they’re anticipating something like 1600 post-its in all. My favorite baloney will also be showing a bunch of post-its, and they are BEAUTIFUL!

  5. OH MAN these are so awesome. I like the ones with fish in them because fish are really cool and you draw them so well. The ones by Calvin are indeed beautiful- some of them have a really neat retro feel to them. I wish I could attend that show to see all of the post-its on display. D: Now I’m inspired to go draw (instead of do my schoolwork). D:

    $20 a pop?? Does the money go to you at least? I will check out your effin’ awesome post-its. If I were a rich movie star, I would buy them all (and then some) to wallpaper my bedroom. ‘Til then, I’ll see if I can scrounge up enough change to put a down payment on one. Too bad you won’t be here!

  7. wow, these are really shockingly great.
    I love the textures and white-out and different lines going on here… it’s rad to see your stuff in this non-white background/negative colors, it really pops on the red, purple, etc.

    Damn, I wish I could swing by the show. Between you & Cal (and Johnny & Tom’s post-its) I’d be out 140 bucks before I knew it. I hope no one rips them off the walls and dashes :)

  11. Holy crap…! This stuff is amazing, Hellen. I think it’s your best artwork yet.

  12. oh man, totally worth $20! these are gorgeous. yeah, agreed, i think you should reproduce the entire series in some cool way. the gouache textures are so sexy. you’re constantly evolving.

    ps - if he’s your baloney, then does that make me your headcheese?

    Yoooo!!! I went to the event Saturday night and scored the second piece in the first column. I love it and I feel like this was money well spent. Does this piece have a name? Just wonderin’.

    All your pieces show a lot of effort and overall feel for awesomeness. There were some ‘post its’ at the GR2 show that were a bit boggling - but I can’t hate, at least those artists are living the dream!

  14. Thanks for buying one of my post-its, TARDIS; I hope the show was fun! I didn’t name any of the Post-Its, but you own it now, so you can call it whatever you want!

  17. oh, fukdam. the show just ended yesterday, otherwise i would have crawled across LA to see these in the flesh / fiber. cos they’re fucking rawesome..

    i’ve been lurking around your blog for a while now.. everything you post on here makes me want to go to the swiss alps and blow the ricola horn until my lungs collapse and i start coughing up blood (in a good way).

    p.s. i read jin & jam whilst hanging out at mike n’s apartment a couple weeks back. A+++++ to infinity.

  18. Hey Andrea,

    don’t collapse your lungs on my account! I appreciate the sentiment though, dude. Nice to internet-meet you, and I’m glad you liked my comic! (Is the Mike N you mentioned Mike Nguyen, of Cal/Theatre Rice/weed fame?)

    It surely is him.

    Actually, in a weird lurker/stalker-like way, I should tell you that I think I met you or quasi-met you a few years back, thanks to knowing some of the same people… it’s a long, boring, rhizome-like story…
