PODFART: Walking The Room with Dave Anthony and Greg Behrendt

My fourth Podfart is for Walking The Room, a hilarious podcast hosted by Dave Anthony and Greg Behrendt. It's been described as a sister podcast to TOFOP, so if you love TOFOP, you'll love this. There's a lot of talk about Griffins, Clowns from the neck down, misery, show-business or lack thereof, and a neighbor with nineteen vaginas that she feeds crickets to.

I decided to draw a piece of art based around the 'Hobotang', which is the name that Dave and Greg gave to one of his filthy orange-thieving neighbours. I thought setting the image up in a kind of 'God and Adam' style would be a nice touch.

The image got a great response from Dave, Greg, and the Cuddlahs. Have a look.

It's a great podcast that I look forward to every week, and SPOILER ALERT despite their current success (the podcast THRIVES on failure), it remains consistently hilarious, as they give each-other a whole lot of shit for an hour a week. Have a listen! They're also on facebook, twitter, and they've just started THE HOTDOG THUNDERDOME, which is a place for all Walking The Room Fans to congregate.

As always, I can be found on twitter and facebook, and my BRAND NEW WEBSITE just went live, so check it out and let me know what you think!

Next up in my Podfarts is The Pod F Tompkast!

Lots of Love,

PODFART: TOFOP with Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen

For my third Podfart, I decided to draw TOFOP, a weekly Australian podcast by Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen.

TOFOP is a crack-up. They're pretty crude at times, which I love. It's a conversational podcast that occasionally has a guest, such as last weeks Justin Hamilton. Basically, if you're someone that's amused by a blending of Time-Travel, Prison Sex, and how to get a microphone to work, then this is the podcast for you.

As for the illustration itself, I went with a microphone/monolith vibe, and kept it pretty simple. If I did it again, I probably would have really pushed the monolith angle, made the microphone huge, and have Wil and Charlie in scared cowering monkey-type poses, but I still think the concept worked.

The response from Wil, Charlie and the TOFOP fans was awesome. They talk about it on episode #47, and they made it their profile pic on facebook. All of which was bloody lovely.

Thanks for looking and reading, and if you haven't heard TOFOP before, here's a favourite:

TOFOP #9 Shit Happened
"Wil, Charlie and special guest Justin Hamilton, discuss all things Whedon, aural anecdote rape and Adam Sandler's new comedy blockbuster."

Find TOFOP here, and they're on facebook, and twitter, too. Check them out!

As always, you can see what I'm up to at twitter and facebook.

Next week, it's TOFOP's Sister Podcast, Walking the Room!

PODFART: Can You Take This Photo Please?

My second Podfart is for Justin Hamilton's brilliant podcast, "Can You Take This Photo Please?" with Bron Robinson. If you haven't heard of Justin or his podcast, you're in for a treat. It's a fantastic podcast with some great guests, and Justin Hamilton, to put it simply, is fucking funny. The image was inspired from an idea that Justin had with Brenna Courtney Glazebrook, called 'Shine of the Dead', where everyone inexplicably turns into David Helfgott. It's mentioned in this episode, and it's a cracker. 

Justin's comedy brings up some fantastic imagery, and choosing just one idea was rather difficult. It was very close to being The Stranger with his pet monkey 'Lou', or the two friendly cowboys from 'The Lonely Mountain'. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, listen to the earlier podcasts, as I'd hate to spoil it for you.

'Shine of the Dead' won out in the end because it pretty much had itself drawn in my head before my laughter had died down. 


The response of Justin and his fans to my illustration was awesome to say the least. Fans requested t-shirts and prints, and Justin very kindly suggested I put them up for sale at my RedBubble Store with his blessing. 
He's helped me out with a couple of things since then, the guy is not only hilarious, he's a very kind and generous chap who my wife now wants a cuddle from.


Check out: CAN YOU TAKE THIS PHOTO PLEASE? It's a bloody goodun.


And they're on facebook and twitter, too.


As always, you can pop in to my facebook or twitter accounts to see what I'm currently drawing...


Next week, it's Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen, and their podcast, TOFOP!


Love Foz.

Time to freshen up this blog with a...

This is The PodFart. My new blog within my blog. I hope you enjoy it. Now let me explain it.

As a professional illustrator, I'm required to sit on my bum for large amounts of time and stare at a glowing screen. This can get boring, and my favourite way of alleviating that boredom is to listen to Podcasts. I listen to a wide variety of Podcasts, but I'm mostly drawn to ones that amuse me. I've had hundreds of hours of free entertainment from these fine Podcasters, so I thought I nice way to thank them would be to draw them some art over the weekend.

So far it's gone down really well.  I've done quite a few already so what I plan to do is post a piece up every week with a word of explanation about the art, a little bit about why I like that particular Podcast, and maybe a little response from the Podcasters themselves. Meanwhile, I'll be illustrating a new PodFart that weekend that you may be able to sneak a peek at my twitter page or my facebook.  I'll always make the image a little bigger here, though, so you can see a little more detail.

Now, for my inaugural PodFart! The Little Dum-Dum Club!

The Little Dum-Dum Club is an Australian podcast with Comedians Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler.

They start the show with a "Hey Maaaaate" and a "G'day Dickhead" in response, which is what I chose to draw. Tommy is often accused of sounding like either a small boy or a lesbian, hence the flowers for emphasis. These guys are great, they usually have a guest, and some awesome stories are told. A highlight for me was the Lawrence Mooney episode. I've heard a LOT of poo stories in my time, but boy, this one takes the cake. If poo stories are something you're interested in, give it a listen! But hey, if poo stories don't float your boat, there's so much more hilarity there that is non-poo related.

I had a great response from these guys. You can have a look over on their facebook page, they also mention it in this great episode with Adam Richard.

Also, these guys are currently in the Earwolf Challenge, and they are kicking arse. Go check it out!

Well that's it for this week, drop by next week for Justin Hamilton!

Lots of love,

Foz.
