Storage Wars Portraits- Jarrod, Darrell and Original Art For Sale

More Storage Wars portraits! I've already done Barry and Don Dotson, Mark Bolelo and Dave Hester.. was hoping to have drawings of the whole cast in time for the season finale but just didn't make it.

Darrell Sheets was almost too easy with his awesome Guy Fieri meets beach bum style. In the running for being my favorite character, his website is pretty much the best thing on the internet where you can buy official "Darrell the Gambler" T-shirts and merchandise and even stuff he finds in lockers like an 1890's cast iron spear or a rare Surfaris LP with artwork by Rick Griffin.

I really wanted to wait until I had a good Brandi drawing before putting this up but just haven't gotten her face down yet. You'll have to wait for next season. Anyway Jarrod also has an awesome clothing line Outlaw Apparel featuring ladies with guns and an amazing handcuff logo.

And one more Dave Hester who everyone loves to hate and I hear might not be coming back to the show next season? Also Dave has posted all of my Storage Wars artwork on his facebook page which is amazing.

 Don't know what I'm going to until next season, maybe start drawing Victor and Moe from Storage Wars Texas? There's also got to be some way I can combine Storage Wars with hot dogs.. I bet these guys know every good hot dog stand and taco truck in Southern California..

Anyway all the originals of these are now available for sale on my website hurry up and grab them before Barry and Dave buy them all.

Quick Beer Illo for Willamette Week

Quick lllustration for Willamette Week's "Best Oregon Beers of 2011" Lots of fun looking at pictures of beer nerds with crazy beards and giant "hops" hats.

Gilbert's Sausage Artwork and T-shirts

Gilbert's is a super awesome newer hot dog & sausage company out of Wisconsin. Nitrate free and artisanal and all that jazz but also high-quality traditionally seasoned frankfurters & brats that live up to the standard of serious encased meat lovers (not just me). I wrote about their stuff a while back and they commissioned me to do some artwork that they're also using on t-shirts - and an awesome Froman track jacket.

Hot Dog Interior Design

Big thanks to Christa Hayden for sending in these photos of her crazy wall of prints. I don't think I ever expected to see them in such a fancy setting. Looks awesome! The piece above the prints was reclaimed from a torn down house from the 1800's.


Here's some more I've gotten over the years, the above is from the Serious Eats office (the first four I had made)... send in yours and I'll definitely post them.

NEW PRINTS!! Free magnets with every order & free shipping on sets of 4!

TONS of new hot dog (and burger) prints in my store, including some new & exciting stuff like the giant 24" tall burger print and a whole bunch of more affordable (16 bucks a pop), smaller 8" x 10" prints. These are all high quality giclee prints done by the fine folks at Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints in Philadelphia. They seriously look almost better than the original paintings.


I'll be shipping FREE sets of five hot dog magnets (ten for big orders) with every order from now until they run out! I have a LOT, they probably won't run out. Selection will be random but if you let me know which you prefer, I'll send it if I have it.

Also for the month of December I'm offering FREE SHIPPING on orders for a set of 4 11 x 14 prints. ($100 even). You can also mix & match and do three 11 x 14 prints and two 8 x 10 prints (or 2 big ones and 4 small ones) for the same price. Order here:

Skeeter's is an awesome general store / restaurant in Wytheville Virginia. Glass bottles of coke and famous chili slaw dogs. Also pretty decent pulled pork sandwich.


Ecuador has awesome hot dogs covered in crazy sauces. A set of four with the Torta Salchicha, Perro Caliente and Tijuana Dog prints would make an awesome "Latin American" collection.


Crazy 2 foot tall exploding burger Illustration I did for Cincinnati Magazine a couple years ago about the city's best burgers.


AWESOME Polish Boy / Barbecue spot in Cleveland.


One of the first paintings I did for hot dog of the week.. Flo's famous red shack on Route 1 in Maine.


Awesome mini-chain in South Carolina serving up beautiful all beef dogs topped with pimento cheese on "top split buns" that are all over the south (not just New England!).


Amazing German butcher shop / grocery n Portland that makes their own hot dogs and sausages, and serves them outside right off the grill.


Crazy variation on the Flint Coney which is already a variation of the Detroit Coney (or vice versa, if you're from Flint Michigan). Koegel's natural casing dog, chili, mustard and onions on a hard taco shell! The regular coneys are great too, and Angelo's is an amazing place.


Famous Lunch in Troy, NY serves up tiny hot dogs for something like 65 cents each. Buried under their famous "Zippy Sauce" and onions. Also terrific rice pudding.
