Hey lets do a proper introduction post...

So yes, I'm actually named Phineas, I live in Chicago, and I somehow survive by making things.

To the extent I make money, it is done by drawing things that show up on beer. Most recently for 3 Floyds and Warpigs USA.

I largely fail to make money by painting, drawing, and sometimes even sculpting things I find in my brain.

I have a whole portfolio of stuff at octophant.us

A digital illustration for 3 Floyds Lazersnake IPA. A shiny metallic robot cobra covered in colored lights. With a vast array of laser guns behind its hood firing colored beams into the sky. Rendered in an 80s airbrush style.
An illustration for WarPigs Brewing's 5th anniversary. A black and white drawing of an ornate armor gauntlet with the letters 'WP' prominently displayed in its ornamentation, holding five crossbow bolts. Rendered in the style of a black metal band.
A digital illustration of an anthropomorphic Chicago-style hot dog – wearing a yellow hat and gloves and green shoes – tripping over his pet, which is a four-legged corndog, and dropping a plate holding a Chicago-style hot dog and fries in the process. A word bubble reading '!!' is shown but the exclamation points are rendered as if they were hot dog wieners.
A painted polymer clay sculpture of a skeleton wearing a fedora sitting in a wooden chair and playing a old-style gourd banjo.

I've been getting mad a lot about hollow-eyed, artless money ghouls telling me what's inevitable and then I had an idea I had to draw about it.

A digital illustration in very comic book style. At the center is an 80s Punk/Mad Max/Tank Girl-type girl wearing a red cut up tee, lots of belts and a studded collar and bracelets etc, denim cutoffs over electric blue fishnets, and tall blue combat-type boots. In her hands she has a red chainsaw with a skull decoration on It that she's holding at the ready.She is reared back on one foot, having just delivered a tremendous kick to the head of a humanoid robot which is reeling backwards, face half smashed in and turned toward the viewer, arms stretched out, with flames and sparks shooting out of its neck. It's one of those retro-future streamline robot guys that you would maybe see Superman fight in a Fleischer cartoon. Behind on the left you can see from the waist up another such robot which has been dealt with similarly just before. Above and behind all this is jagged red lettering over a jagged yellow outline reading DESTROY next to dimensionalized sans-serif letters reading "A.I." (quotes included) over a 🚫 symbol. Under the reeling robot are some important anti-AI talking points rendered in rough maker-style hand lettering: 'Bad at Everything! Kill the Planet! Brain Atrophy!' I could go on but there's only so much space in one drawing. All of this has been worked up digitally to look like it's a vintage screen printed t-shirt design with cracked and worn plastisol inks. In conclusion, fuck your AI.

Phineas<p>Hello people who are inexplicably following me here. It&#39;s possible you&#39;ve noticed that the world is going quite entirely to hell, and with it a lot of my work drawing things for money has dried up. Gotta be honest, it&#39;s bad. So I am telling anyone doing less badly who wants to buy some stuff from me how to do that…</p><p>Original paintings, prints, etc: <a href="https://octophant.us/buy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">octophant.us/buy</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Art Prints: <a href="https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/phineas/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">inprnt.com/gallery/phineas/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Shirts &amp; Merch &amp; Stuff: <a href="https://octophant.threadless.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">octophant.threadless.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Please to have a look won&#39;t you</p>
