Three New Drawings or Back to Life, Back to Reality

Welcome back, everybody! Above is one of three new drawings submitted over the weekend to The Famous Hairdos of Popular Music project by a fine fellow named Zach. You can scroll down to see the other two (please do...I like them a lot). If you then scroll a little further down, you can ascertain by the date of the last post that almost two months have elapsed between those drawings and these. In that time the humid days of August have given way to a fleeting Indian Summer, and winter is surely on its way. Sorry, folks. But don't worry because there is exciting news on the horizon here at The Famous Hairdos HQ and Lemon o Books!

Before the end of October, this space will have news of a brand new zine for you to cherish. This publication will have nothing to do with hair, but it will be beautiful. I am very excited to share it with the world. The grand public unveiling will occur at the Madison Zine Fest on October 22nd, 2011. If you happen to be in Wisconsin's fair capitol that day, I highly recommend you attend this event. And then, on December 10th, before the full force of winter strikes the Midwest like a linebacker at the Ice Bowl, I'll be making an appearance at the Milwaukee Zine Fest with boxes of zines for sale and trade.

Check back here for more information about all these doings. I promise it won't be as quiet as it has been. Thanks for looking, and thanks again, Zach, for these great drawings! Best wishes, all.

Check out these new drawings. They're done by a friend named Joe who has had drawings featured here before. Thanks, Joe!

Drawings from Utah

Here are just a couple drawings from a stack of images that were waiting in an envelope in the Famous Hairdos P.O. Box this morning.

The drawings came here to Milwaukee from a state prison in Utah, and, as you can see, the url for the artist's blog is written around each picture. Please check it out at brandongreensblog.blogspot.com. Thank you so much for the drawings, Brandon.

Happy Birthday!

It's almost my birthday and, coincidentally, the third birthday of the Famous Hairdos of Popular Music project. A friend sent this beautiful collage and two hairdo drawings to my P.O. Box today.

My friend Lindsey is one of the organizers of Zine Fest Houston, which went down this past Spring, and she offered to sell some of The Famous Hairdos books and give out postcards for people to draw on. This is awesome enough, but today I received this early birthday card and two drawings by zine fest attendees. The drawings are below, and be sure to check out Lindsey's comics and art at weakhighlights.com. Thanks as always to the drawers and kind friends who have allowed this silly project to thrive for three years.
