Surely you jest, good sir!

Two weeks without a blog post? This will not stand!
In the interim, I’ve travelled to and from the fine city of Melbourne, whereupon I dined on many a fine cuisine, and supped upon many a fine snifter of firewater. I also spent some amazing times with mine chums and families. Kindly observe myself and the missus, Melbourne-side, wearing our finest spats and glad rags:
I’ve been working on a few logos, some real, some imaginary. Here’s one of the latter:
I guess it’s for a beer. Padre Pio has been one of my favourite figures of piety ever since I realised he bore a striking resemblance to one Obi-Wan Kenobi. I once had a web-page dedicated to the similarities between the two (no foolin’), but alas, GeoCities had it deleted due to lack of views.
And if you head on over to The Krankiboy Khronicles, you’ll find a new logo I did for an old chum in San Francisco. He also takes some great photos!
Here are some sketches I did of hipster girls:
I think that’s it for now. I’ll try and keep the posts more regular!
Salut!
KA-POW! The Shiggy Blog!
Aug5
Hey reader! Welcome to my new blog: The Shiggy Blog! Pretty snazzy, ey?
If you don’t already know who I am, my name’s Joe. I’m an Aussie illustrator and designer. You can read a little more about me at the Bio page on my brand spankerin’ new website, Shiggy.com.au.
This new website has been a long time coming. It was a little sad moving on from my old website “neapolitan500″, which has been with me for almost 10 years (it’s earliest incarnation existing on the soon-to-be defunct GeoCities), but any nostalgia is far outweighed by my excitement at this reinvention.
My new site is far more functional and content-heavy. I reckon it looks a lot nicer too.
This blog is going to be multi-purpose. It will be half sketch-blog, half design-blog, half photo-blog, half video-blog and half regular word-blog. I realise that’s a lot more halves than the usual two, but that’s just how amazing this blog is going to be. Deal with it.
I’ll be posting original content as often as I can, but you should also expect to find plenty of links to cool shit around the Web.
Until next time, here’s a photo of my dog ValJean:
Bye!
Who is Shiggy?
