JUST IN TIME FOR THE N.A.T.O. SUMMIT TOMORROW, A LITTLE SPOOF AD I MADE. WHEN I USED TO GO TRICK OR TREATING WE WOULD COME HOME AT THE END OF THE NIGHT AND TRADE CANDY. NOBODY EVER WANTED THE NECO WAFERS BECAUSE THEY TASTED LIKE CRAP AND LEFT A NASTY AFTERTASTE IN YOUR MOUTH. I COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT N.A.T.O.
"NATO WAFERS"
I HAVE HAD THIS THING DONE FOR AT LEAST A WEEK AND A HALF, AND AM JUST NOW FINDING THE TIME TO PUT IT UP! HERE IT IS, UGLY NO. 1 – ISSUE #5 – MAY, 2012. THIS ISSUE IS A BIT DIFFERENT. NO TRACING PAPER, BUT A BONUS HALF SHEET! I DID SOME DIFFERENT KINDS OF DRAWING IN THIS ISSUE, AND USED A LOT MORE COLOR THAN USUAL. I’D LOVE TO GET SOME FEED BACK ON THIS THING, SO PICK UP YOUR ISSUE NOW IN THE STORE FOR (STILL) ONLY $4 AND LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH IT SUCKS!
WHOT IS IT? WHY IZ IT? WEAR IS IT?
AND HERE IS A LITTLE SNEAK PREVIEW IN THE FORM OF A .GIF:
"FROM NEED TO GREED"
I WAS OUT FOR SUSHI WHEN I FOUND THIS DUDE LINGERING ON THE SIDEWALK.
HEY FOLKS, I AM EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCHING OF A NEW SITE I AM A PART OF! MY BROTHER KYLE HARTER AND I HAVE STARTED A NEW ANIMATED .GIF BLOG FEATURING ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATED ANIMATIONS BY ME AND KYLE – WWW.GETTINGINTOFLUX.TUMBLR.COM. CHECK IT OUT! HERE ARE THE FIRST TWO POSTS I DID:
"IMPOSTER" - I THOUGHT OF THIS WHILE ON THE TOILET AT WORK YESTERDAY.
"SIAMESE FINGER"
I asked some of my high school digital photography to finish the sentence “Art is ____” and filmed their responses. The students range from freshmen to seniors at Curie Metro High School on the South Side of Chicago.

I’M RUNNING A BIT BEHIND – TWO NEW JOBS IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS HAVE BEEN OCCUPYING MUCH MORE OF MY TIME THAN I WOULD LIKE, BUT THE MAY ISSUE OF UGLY NO. 1 WILL BE AVAILABLE TOMORROW, I SWEAR! IN THE MEAN TIME, HERE IS A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK OF ONE THING I AM PARTICULARLY FOND OF THAT WILL BE IN THE NEW ISSUE:
DUDE COMPRISED OF WORDS.
NEW DRAWING:
SKATEBOARDERS, CAN YOU NAME THE DUDE PEAKING THROUGH MY SCANNER?
I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME SPRING CLEANING WITH THE SITE – ORGANIZING AND TIDYING UP MOSTLY. AS YOU CAN SEE YOU NOW HAVE THE OPTION TO “LIKE” INDIVIDUAL POSTS – TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS (OR NOT, WHAT DO I CARE?), AND WITH THESE LONG PAGES FILLED WITH CRAP I’VE NOW MADE IT MUCH EASIER TO SCROLL BACK TO THE TOP WITH AN “UP” ARROW THAT APPEARS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN WHEN YOU SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE.
LASTLY, I HAVE CREATED A NEW FONT FROM MY HANDWRITING! THE ORIGINAL FONT I MADE FOR THE SITE (SLAPPYBAG) WAS GETTING OLD, AND WAS A BIT HARD TO READ, SO I CREATED “SLAPPYBAG 2.0″ – WHICH IS WHAT YOU NOW SEE. IF YOU LIKE THE FONT YOU CAN GET IT HERE! WITH THE FONT COMES SOME GOODIES SUCH AS THESE SPECIAL CHARACTERS:
ENJOY! OR MAKE YOUR OWN FONT AT MYSCRIPTFONT.COM!
DID YOU SEE THESE GREAT NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY STICKERS? I’M GOING TO GET MINE RIGHT AWAY – THIS WAY I CAN FURTHER POLARIZE OUR VERY SPLIT TWO-PARTY COUNTRY! IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SUPPORT ONE PARTY, IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU DEMONIZE AND BELITTLE THE OTHER ONE!
A PARODY I MADE OF THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY BUMPER STICKERS. THEY ARE NOW VISUALIZING THE SHIFT IN FOCUS FROM WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN TO WHY THE REPUBLICANS ARE DUMB-DUMBS, AND I'M NOT DIGGING IT.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS DEAL BECAUSE I’M NOT SURE LONG I WILL HAVE IT AVAILABLE – BUT FOR NOW YOU CAN PAY FOR A WHOLE YEAR’S WORTH OF ISSUES (12 ISSUES) AT THE FIXED PRICE OF $4/ISSUE – WHICH IS A DEAL BECAUSE AFTER DOING SOME SIMPLE MATH I REALIZED IT IS LIKELY I WILL HAVE TO RAISE THE PRICES AT SOME POINT TO KEEP FUNDING THE PRODUCTION OF THEM.
