Where are you from?
Originally from Idaho, I moved to Chicago almost 3 years ago to try and make some money….and learn to hate the weather
What inspired you to become an artist?
Mostly that I was more interested in sketching on everything in front of me than paying attention to the real world. Probably also that my father is a scultpur and I spent a lot of time in his studio
Who are some of your favorite artists?
My favorite artists are the ones who inspire my work every day who have not yet made it big time and are still pushing toward a dream. I wouldn’t want to single any out, but they know who they are if they are reading this.
Tell us about your shirt?
This shirt is part of a series of character sketches that I am calling “the inks on the bus” that came about because of my struggle to find time to work on any ideas or find a style for myself. (usually I get home from work at 7) Losing my desire to sit through my long commute to work each day I resolved to make an effort to sketch and post 1 character idea for every day of the work week. So far, minus a few days, for special events or occasionally falling alseep I stuck to the plan….except of course for the 2 weeks of swine flu……hopefully this print will draw even a few more followers to the blog and give me more of a reason to keep it going.

KEEP IT GOING!!! This is one of your funniest shirts so far. Congratulations on this cool print mate!!!
Andrius
Great shirt! JCW, you have some terrific characters on your site that are begging for t-shirts of their own. Keep it up!
ovenrude
This reminds me of Man on Wire.
Only it’s feathered bird man on bike, on wire.
fun!
ovenrude
Actually upon further reflection this appears to be a hedgehog and not a feathered bird man. My apologies.

Dxtr, Andrius, ovenrude, thanks for the great comments, with a response like this I am encouraged to work another character into a shirt.
Raikus
Yes! The world needs more echidnas on shirts. Hell, more monotremes in general. Nice work JCW!
