Artist's Comments

Look at that, it's Ira Glass !

I considered entering the t-shirt contest, but I got lazy. Also, I think I'm becoming one of those silly This American Life fans since I've discovered they stream the episodes. I've listened to tons of it. Oh god.

I'm really fond of the coloring, although I do wish the blue had been more blue. But the lines are my favorite. I won't point out to you the things that annoy me, because, well, you'll just notice them.

Tribute to my favorite radio show and one of my favorite television shows. <3

Ahaha! A fellow studio-mate got me into that show (because of the web-stream). I've been listening to it on and off for a while now (hard to stop because there are sooo many) NPR is grand--its were I learned about FOUND magazine and tons of useless things.
onto art things: wow, yeah, looks a lot like him. this is fantastic, the colors and everything. in a weird way it reminds me of The Science of Sleep as well.

but yeah, great job, ol' Ira needs some good fan art.

Hehe, this is fantastic, I think it suits perfectly! Impressive microphone there. ;)
I've never seen the TV show, though, I've only heard it on NPR.

Thank you very much ! I tried to make it seem very This-American-Life-y, however you do that with my style, haha.

The TV show is good ! I mean, I may just like it because I get to see Ira laugh and talk, but the stories are really interesting to watch. It's not really that different than the radio show; the only true difference is the visual aid.
:iconthedorkster:
Thanks ! I did this around the time when I was watching the TV show a lot, so I totally fell in love with his big silly glasses and his mannerisms. I tried my hardest to capture his likeness, so thanks a lot for saying that !!

And I completely agree. Ira doesn't get nearly enough rep in the world. I guess I'll do my best to spread the love.

Ah man, love that subtle, understated vibe your work has... it always has such an interesting beauty to it.

this looks like it could be a great cover to their book, were they ever to record it in writing. :heart:

i looove that show! i stream the podcast every week.

this says digital art but i'd swear this was traditional. you have such a good sense of line, but actually what really makes this pic for me is the wood grain texture. awesome.

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away!

Thank you so much ! I adore adore Ira Glass, too. <3 I mean, if it's not obvious by the drawing, haha.
