Community Immortality

Taking a break from editing my own film so I can relax… by editing clips from Community. Made this to support the show while it’s on hard times. Mad props to Dan Harmon.

“The Day Job” – In Theater (Singular) Soon

This summer, I co-directed a movie that I co-wrote with a friend. It’s called THE DAY JOB and it’s about a group of bank robbers that mess up a heist and get hired to work at the bank instead. I’m immensely proud of it, especially considering that the budget was nearly non-existent and everyone involved worked their asses off non-stop for the entire summer.

Here’s one of the posters:

The Day Job

We’re working on setting up the premiere date, but it’s definitely going to be playing at a local theater in Kalamazoo. I’m unsure what’s going to happen with it after that, but for now that’s our main focus. We’ll definitely be making DVD’s as well as shopping it around at whatever festivals we can. Check out thedayjob.tumblr.com for more information.

I drew this after playing nothing but Zelda games all month.

Let me just say that Ocarina of Time 3D is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. Drew this in celebration.

Comedians as Videogame Characters

Just last week I was lucky enough to see Maria Bamford, one of my all-time comedy heroes, perform live in Ann Arbor. We talked for a bit after the show (didn’t get her to do the podcast – sorry!) and she could not have been nicer. (Same goes for her opener, Cameron Esposito, whom I highly recommending checking out.) All in all, it was a great night and I thought I owed something back to Maria. Unfortunately, all I could think to do was draw her as a videogame character. Then I drew two more of my favorite comedians in the same style.

Paul F Tronkins

I plan on doing more soon, so sit tight.
